Why did they remove the arrows and shuttle wheel?

It annoyed me to no end when years ago Adobe removed the shuttle wheel from After Effects, and now they did it with Premiere. What's the point of that? And even worse, now they also removed the arrow buttons on each side of the timeline. Are you freaking kidding me? With all the great improvements that Premiere CS6 has, and they removed an elemental tool for moving in the timeline? Try to move that stupid zoom slider when you are zoomed in to where the whole timeline is showing just about ten or fifteen seconds, and it makes the timeline fly at the speed of light in either direction. At best, you can use the mouse wheel to move a little bit, but that is slow as hell. It would be a good idea for Adobe's programmers to have this phrase as their first rule: "Don't fix it if it ain't broken"
Althought the zoom slider is a nice little addition, it's not a replacement for the arrow buttons. Sometimes, you need to move a couple of clips ahead or backwards, and the arrow buttons are the best way to do it. It would also be good for Adobe to copy the best of other NLEs, in this case from Vegas, which has the best way to navigate the timeline. Mouse wheel up or down, zooms in or out. Mouse wheel with shift pressed at the same time, scrolls the timeline at a speed that actually is useful. This zoom slider movement is so fast it's ridiculous and useless. If at least they included an option to set the speed for scrolling, it might be of some use, or at least if they also included an option to set the speed of scrolling with the mouse wheel, it would also be useful. But the way it is now it's useless and makes the editor waste a lot of time.

Mouse wheel up or down, zooms in or out. Mouse wheel with shift pressed at the same time, scrolls the timeline at a speed that actually is useful.
That should be reversed, where the wheel alone will scroll at a usable speed and the modifier plus wheel will zoom.
Of course, that's how it used to work.  Adobe 'fixed' this, too.

  • Why did they remove the code validator in DWCS5??!!!

    I just noticed that some had to create an extension to reinstall the page validator for CS5. Why on earth did they remove this feature???

    Adobe is always reviewing Dreamweaver to identify underpowered or little used features which are no longer relevant, or better alternatives exist, in today's market.
    Occasionally their research and conclusions seem to be off course with the majority of users. Radical action, such as dropping the feature, may taken too early.
    They made a call by dropping the in-built DW validator in CS5 but, apparently, it's still wanted. I never use it personally but plenty still do apparently. It may yet find itself living on borrowed time though.
    The antiquated Timelines feature in earlier versions was another example of a feature which was pulled prematurely (back in MM days) and quickly reinstated via a patch following a concerted user campaign. It was eventually dropped in later versions when the time was right.

  • IPod Album Art Cache - Why did they remove the feature to Sync Album Art?

    So it appears that Apple removed the ability to enable/disable album art in the iPod configuration in recent versions of iTunes so that one can't turn it off and sync then turn it on and re-sync to reset all the album art once it gets jumbled on the iPod Classic. It seems that this was a useful feature to have. This has recently happed to me for the first time, so now I'm having to re-sync my complete music library of over 80gig and it's going to take all night (and finger's crossed that iTunes doesn't crash - which is why my artwork got jumbled in the first place). Did the old method of resync'ing just the Album Art Cache just cause a re-sync of the entire music catalog anyways? What's the deal?

    It's not available with Itunes 11. Want to let Apple know you are unhappy?
    They don't read here. Send them feedback through the proper channel:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    The only way they will bring it back is if you send in enough complaints.

  • Why did they remove the "today, this week, last week from finder side bar?

    I searched the options and they were removed.

    I don't know the "why" but I know how you can get them back. Go to Finder: File menu > New Smart Folder.
    When the Finder window opens, click the '+' sign on the right hand side of the window.
    Change the menu that says 'Kind' to 'Last Opened Date'. In the next menu along, change the 'is within last' to 'today' (or it might be 'last 24 hours', I forget). Hit Save.
    Repeat the same procedure thing for 2 days, 1 week etc. (I'm not booted in to Lion at the moment, but in SL you could also actually enter the time period in an input box. You may also have this option.)

  • Why did they remove the "open iPod in new window" option in 7.5???

    I used to be able to open my iPod Shuffle contents in a new window, which made it really easy to drop specific songs into the exact order I wanted. Now I can't open a second window and have to drag an entire playlist exactly where I want it and then move the unwanted songs or move a specific song ontop of the iPod icon and then have to go and pull it from the bottom and place where I want it on the Shuffle. I know this sounds petty and I can still get the songs/order on my Shuffle, but it's so much clunkier than it use to be. I hate when an upgrade "removes" functionality instead of enhancing it.

    Well I can get another Window as follows:
    Click on the little triangle to the left of the iPod symbol to open up the iPod's playlists.
    Double click on Music and another window opens. I see you are using a Mac, but i guess it must be the same.

  • Why did they remove the second alert for Calendars ??

    I saw that this software update has taken away the second alert that could be added to calendar entries ?
    Why would they do that ?

    I see what happened.
    I added an exchange account.
    It then changed my default calendar to the echange calendar, which does not accept 2 alerts.
    Thx

  • Why did they remove the "Just Added" section on the Music page??

    It used to be, you could click on that, see all the new music that launched that day. Then, they updated it, and it wasn't in order anymore, but you could still see what launched, and now, that section has been removed. Why??? Has it moved somewhere else?

    Has it moved somewhere else?
    Yes, it has moved.  The New Releases listing is now at Amazon MP3.  Click here.

    Not going to lie, i actually really enjoyed that emoticon especially when arguing with homophobic people in a group chat so please put it back

  • Why did nokia remove the 3d chip and IM messenger ...

    hey when i use my nokia n96 and play 3d games it does not work which makes the n96 **bleep** and because of that when i play animations it lags to much and for what reason did they remove the graphics card for. one more thing is that they removed IM chip and VOIP chip which means i cant use windows live messenger or yahoo messenger or skype on it why did they do that for i thought when new phones come out they have more and better stuff but nokia are removing them things that actually need you to keep going on life. WHY DID THEY DO THAT FOR REMOVING THE CHIPS.

    There's no IM or VoIP chips removed; IM and VoIP are software.
    Read this:
    http://conversations.nokia.com/home/2008/08/the-report-of-t.html
    The 3D hardware graphics accellerator was not removed from the N96; rather the N96 is based on hardware that never had it in the first place.

  • Why did you remove The option to disable Java scripts?

    Everyone knows malware always comes through java scripts. So why did you remove the option to turn it off ? Why the false saftey excuse? (duckspeak) This makes no sense. Alot of people also get errors and have slower speed with some pages so they disable it. I understand there is plugins available to block scripts but they never work 100%. It just really really seems strange that a browser that was built on the idea of safety, security and trust has now suddenly removed a item that makes users less safe, Under the guise of safety. (doublespeak)
    I will no longer use Firefox ever again unless you put this option back.

    Also note that the option is available in...
    '''<h1>about:config</h1>'''
    # In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
    # Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
    # In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
    # Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
    To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
    '''<h1>Add-ons</h1>'''
    You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back JavaScript options, including Advanced JavaScript Settings, as well as options for loading images and showing the Tab Bar)
    Im also not sure how you are a computer expert and dont even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Its pathetic that you dont know that Java is the most insecure thing, not Javascript, get your facts straight before bashing a correct answer and "Java Scripts" were not removed, but moved.

  • Why did they remove Weed Firm,

    Why did they remove Weed Firm from the app store. Its not the app stores fault that the parents let their kids have an iphone and didnt controll what they download if you dont want your kid playing stuff like that dont buy them an iphone. Their is still a community of users who would like to play the game but cannot because it has been removed. If your child is so dumb that they have to imitate what ever they play dont get them age rated stuff. There is such things as parental locks. So why should a community of users suffer because of a few.
