A plea to Adobe: Make Homesite open source

I know this won't go anywhere, but I need to ask anyway.
Please please please, make Homesite open source.
I have tried other editors over the years but I come back to
HS every time. Macromedia ignored Homesite when they bought
Allaire, now Adobe is ignoring it after buying Macromedia. Homesite
is a wonderful code editor, but it needs some tender loving care
after being ignored for years.
Keep it commercial, it doesn't have to be free. But please,
open up the source. Let the few of us that still use it make it
better.
Steve Nelson

I just love seeing replies here!
I finally broke down and got CS4 and included Dreamweaver based on user groups saying in code view it is *almost* like Homesite.
argh... the ambiguity of *almost*...
a horse is almost like a giraffe...
I still have homesite installed... there is NOTHING like HOMESITE!
Hand coders do not want all the bells and whistles of Dreamweaver!!!!!
Hey maybe APPLE would buy it!
I don't think it ever worked on MAC but maybe they could make a cross platform and make it run on both!
OPENSOURCE would be really awesome though!
Anybody know anyone at Cisco? now that they have openoffice maybe they would like to fund Homesite!
Homesite to me is the OpenOffice of the web dev world.
OR maybe the folks that have CSE Validator...

Make Onlocation open source.... PLEASE!!!

Since the engineers at adobe are clueless in regards to the possibilities of onlocation, I think they would be well served to release the source code for onlocation and make it open source.

too many police and government agencies are using it and I doubt BlackBerry will ever make it open source

LiveView: Make it 'open source' for the benefit of all

First, let me start by saying LiveView is a great concept. However...
SonyEricsson needs more than just a great concept to make this a useful and successful product.
At present, it is horrendous and they should be embarrassed with releasing this device to the market in its current state.
The hardware is average but the software/firmware is absolutely awful, leading to an extremely unreliable / barely useful device.
My experiences since receiving my LiveView have not been dissimilar to the rest of the users who have seen frequent disconnections / lockups / non-working features.
It is clear that there is interest in this device from the Android Community / Xda-Developers, etc. with many members keen to resolve LiveView's issues themselves - yet they are limited by a closed platform. Given Engadget's review of the LiveView, SonyEricsson's poor track record of providing continued support / updates to their products and their statement that there will be no updates issued for the device - I would think it not inappropriate to demand that an update at least be made to make the software entirely open source, or firmware/code released with a vehicle/drivers for updating.
I'm sure if the community were given the freedom, they could make the software reliable, customisable and perhaps even define innovative new ways to use the hardware.
If that happens, there's increased interest in the community which in turn would lead to more sales.
SonyEricsson, why not leverage the benefit of a willing (and free) workforce that are more interested in improving your device than you are?
(TLDR) In short, SE's failure to provide a fully functioning reliable product combined with their lack of commitment to continued support has paved the way for a global community of very tech savvy individuals and groups, willing to devote their time freely to improving LiveView. I say to SonyEricsson, let them - everyone wins.
To other customers, would you support making LiveView open source?
If so - let SonyEricsson know here and by submitting an e-Mail via their Support site (for UK, where SE's global management team is based):http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/common/contact/contactusemail/accessories?cc=gb&lc=en

Once there is a successor model, I would welcome it very much if the source code is released, and the owner of the MN800 can finally use their device.

@Adobe, do you intend to contribute Flash Catalyst as Open Source Project ?

Hello,
in the recent Whitepaper* you write that you no longer develop Flash Catalyst.
Wouldnt it be great if you make it open source (contribute to Apache as well?)
or sell it to another developer so that it can be continued to be developed ?
I think many people will totally agree with this and would be happy to continue using
Flash Catalyst to visually built/prototype engaging GUI for the Apache Flex Framework.
What do you think ?
Best Regards
Marc
Flash Catalyst
Flash Catalyst CS5.5 is the last release of Flash Catalyst.
At this time, it will not be updated to work with Flex SDK 4.6 or any Apache Flex releases nor will it be included in future versions of the Adobe Creative Suite software offerings.
*http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/whitepapers/roadmap.html

Hi daslicht,
im also very interrested to know the answer.
But im afraid they wont because it uses code from other proprietary tools.
And even if the community get flash catalyst source code, it will be useless (in a sens) mainly because the synergy with other Adobe Tools will not be maintained. And for me it was the main power of Flash Catalyst.
And knowing that, i think it is more easy for Apache community to create a new tool from scratch not linked to Adobe's tooling chain.
It could be a Flex app!!
For you information, the design view from Flash Builder has also been discontinued by Adobe. But in that case its a flex app incorporated in Flash Builder so theres good chances that Adobe will donate it to Apache community.
So why not use the design view as a base for a Flash Catalyst like tool? by making it a standalone tool or designers.

How to make Open Source work on Solaris 10, x86 ?

I'm trying to make this Open Source code for MDBTools work on my
Solaris 10, x86.
What this tool does is to read in a Microsoft Access MDB file, and
outputs the contents of that database file, into an ASCII text file.
I unzipped these files already, but how do I make "mdbtools" work on
Solaris x86, version 10?

Adobe Should Open Source Fireworks

OK Adobe... do us all a favor and turn Fireworks into an open source project. Please don't take this valuable software away from us and let it degrade into a worthless mess. We still have uses for your other titles and would be happy to stay if Fireworks remains alive in one form or another, even if it no longer bears the Adobe name. It won't affect your bottom line to give it to the community, but letting it die will definitely sow negative seeds among the Fireworks faithful, so that if a viable alternative comes into play an exodus may ensue.

If history teaches us one thing, it is that Adobe will not open source Fireworks. Recall Freehand? The Freehand community went as far as setting up a "Free Freehand" organization, and took legal action.
They failed. Adobe did not release Freehand's source code into the public domain.
And it will never happen with Fireworks either, because it would become too much of a competitor to Photoshop and Illustrator (and any other software they might have under wraps for now).
Sad, but true.

Flex is open source, what about adobe flash?

Hi all,
There is some confusion on our Flex team. We're aware of the
Flex announcement that Adobe intends to release Flex under the MPL
at some future date. Some of the developers on our team, however,
believe the Adobe Flash plugin in browsers such as Mozilla are open
source as well. After googling, I could not find any indication
that adobe Flash is open source. We're aware of Gnash, etc, but our
question relates specifically to Adobe Flash - is it open source or
has there been an announcement that Adobe intends to open source
Flash browser plugins? What, if anything, is open source concerning
Flash?
Thanks,
iksrazal

Flash will not be open source.

Make Zen V Plus drivers "open-source&quo

Zen V Plus firmware need a lot of improvements...
I'm waiting for new firmware 3 months...
If nobody from Creative team don't have time to work on this firmware i propuse to make it open source, or put source files on the website. I think that many people want to make this firmware better.
If you don't have to to do it please allow to make it by somebody other!

P.S. Sorry for my bad english!

wow, what kind of earphones/headphones do u guys use.. how come the volume is not loud enough for u.. i listen at volume level 4-6 and find them loud enough..

Why Adobe doesn't use the open source codec x264vfw for Elements as .AVI?

Well we all know who wants to work with the x264vfw that it does not work in Premiere Elements.
But i think Adobe could have make it work with the open source x264vfw or with the AVC-Intra coder.
I am still asking me also why it would work when i do re-encode it with another program to h264 again but as MP4?
Adobe does itself make it really easy and messing with us. because they are saying there is support for h264 but only for MP4 and another one...
Why they don't add .AVI support that goes to the support of Adobe because i can't get into the livechat.... because its only under the week....
This Codec the H264 X264 and AVC-1 are the most used codecs today in my opinion so i don't know why they don't sit their Dev's on that.
ALSO that it does not work on their 600$ Application named Premiere Pro is something that i don't understand...
For me its unbelievable if i am honest.
I now want to know why adobe is such a service desert in this point.
They all yelling about that but Adobe does nothing.
If somebody knows a solution without re-encoding or FFMPEG solution, because it does not work well with my Variable Frame Rate in Premiere Elements let it me know.
Also i want an Answer from Adobe why they don't do anything.
I tried to put the x264vfw .dll into plugins or the folder but the problem is not solved.
I am sitting for Quiet a time behind that and see how many threads there existing... and it's only frustrating.
ADOBE it's time to do something!!!

I still think that a lot of peoples have done that. When you see how many persons are suffering by this problem...
Well i have not known about the Adobe Staff tags that they are not the real help from the real support.
Thank you about that.
Normally i would send a mail but there is no option for that... to they're support team.
I said that it hard for me to get some support under the week. I have to work from 6am until 5pm with driving. and have to do some things a home.
Feature Request/Bug Report Form i think will not help or have you used it and got an answer? I want an answer not only request something.
" We normally do not send personal replies to feature requests or bug reports. We do, however, read each and every message. We use the information to improve our products and services. Your comments, suggestions, and ideas for improvements are very important to us. We appreciate you taking the time to send us this information. "
And yes i buied last year Premiere Elements to Christmas time.
I still don't understand why they didn't add support for H264, h264, X264, x264 and AVC-1 for .AVI wrapper when they have the licenses for the codec...
Also .AVI is really often used... not like .MKV

Open Source equivalent to Adobe Illustrator?

What is the best Open Source equivalent to Adobe Illustrator?
(or closest equivalent)
This may be a matter of personal preference but could anyone share their thoughts or opinions?
Thank you,

I took Inkscape for a test drive in order to compare it to Adobe Illustrator. Here are my comments I would like to share with this newsgroup. Generally and professionally, I prefer Adobe Illustrator over Inkscape because Illustrator is a more responsive program - faster during some key drawing procedures, however Inkscape should not be ignored as it is available for no cost and is very capable and sufficient as a drawing tool. I was impressed with Inkscape - except for its typesetting features, its lack of being able to use spot colours and its limited PDF export options.
I hardly touched all the Inkscape features in this review - only a few main features which seemed to work sufficiently.
This review is written for someone looking for a vector drawing program to learn and use who may not have a lot of experience with a professional drawings programs such as Adobe Illustrator and who may be looking for a no-cost alternative that is sufficiently acceptable.
Inkscape 0.46
www.inkscape.org
Review by Mike
platform: mac computer on OS 10.4
March 2009
Generally, a very capable and extremely useful program - especially considering there is no cost. Under the "Help" menu, is a link to the online manual which you can download too - but I just read that parts I needed online.
I found the info I was looking for a few days ago when I first tried the program. Initially, I couldn't find a way to convert a point from a smooth point to a corner point. I found this feature in the menu bar. When you use the "edit path my node" tool (second tool in the tool box) you can make this choice (corner or smooth point) from a row of icons along the top of the document window - very obvious but I didn't see that at first. Its a good feature to know to manipulate your shapes to exactly as you would like. With this ability, you can choose to convert your point to a corner point or a smooth point - important to being able to draw any shape you like.
You can also adjust the bezier curve angle on the fly (while you draw) (see last point [1] at the end of this review) by holding down the shift key or the control key but that would depend on how much users would want to practice this program. The main thing is, that it can be done - just like in Illustrator. Illustrator users would just have to remember a few different key stroke patterns while drawing.
Doesn't seem to be much this program can't do, except for spot colour capability. Compared to Illustrator, I would be curious to know if there was anything critical you can do in Illustrator that you cannot do in Inkscape. Typesetting in Inkscape isn't so great but generally the program is sufficient.
Here are four main points:
1. Inkscape doesn't have spot colour capability
This is probably the biggest disadvantage of Inkscape for professionals. For commercial artists, printing spot colour is a critical capability which enables such things as specifying a pantone colour to a printer. However, for web pages and CMYK artwork, Inkscape is sufficient because web page art is all RGB in colour (no spot colours are used in web page art).
2. No PDF export options.
Inkscape's PDF export features seem to be limited and do not give you many options such as compression options. That is probably the second most noted limitation of Inkscape for professional artists. There may be a work around however. If you export the drawing as postscript and open it in Adobe Acrobat Professional you could set these options here instead. But then you would need to buy Adobe Acrobat Professional - but which is a very useful program - one that is indispensable for managing pdf files quickly. "Web Capture" is one of my favourite features of Adobe Acrobat Professional - can save a website or a web page to pdf for archival purposes. Merging several PDF's into a single document is also a good feature of Adobe Acrobat Professional for general purpose file management.
3. Inkscape is slower than Illustrator. Some Inkscape features are OK but others are slower.
But that might not be a fair comparison because I am testing Inkscape on my ten-year-old 350 MHz Mac G3. But then again, I am also using Illustrator on this same G3 and Illustrator is very fast. I wonder how fast Inkscape would feel on a newer mac?
Overall, these speed issues may not be relevant because for most projects and drawing tasks Inkscape is fast enough.
The slowest feature of Inkscape I find is selecting a typeface if you are setting any type in your document. It takes too long to scroll down your selection of fonts. Could be my computer - or could be Inkscape ot something to do with the fact I have many fonts - but they are all managed by fontbook. I am not sure why selecting a type face seems to take so long to scroll through the list of fonts.
4. Inkscape struggles with type setting.
Typesetting in Inkscape is slow. The critical problem with Inkscape type is that the type in the final Inkscape document (which is natively in the .svg format) will not open in Illustrator. This is not good. I am not sure why and I may possibly be doing something wrong - but I tried this in many ways and there appears to be a problem with the way Inkscape saves type - maybe its just certain fonts (non-type-1?) - not sure. Any Inkscape documents will open in Illustrator but the type will appear in a large black box - major problem. Obviously there is a font translation problem with the way Inkscape saves blocks of type. The solution is to not expect type to work between these two programs (between Inkscape and Illustrator) - but often you don't need to transfer your files between Inkscape and Illustrator and so for these projects this may not be a problem. Another solution is at the final stage of your drawing in Inkscape, convert all the type (if there is any type)to paths ("convert to path" feature) - but this procedure is irreversible - so save a copy of your document first with the fonts not converted to outline. I am sure newer versions of Inkscape will correct this problem eventually. I think there is future hope for Inkscape on this issue.
Here are some other general points I noticed about Inkscape:
The pattern tool (good for wallpaper):
For fun, I tried the pattern tool to try and design a wallpaper pattern. Its pretty cool. You can turn any objects you draw into a wallpaper pattern.
Another way to do wallpaper is to just manually copy and paste in a repeated manner offset by the length of your object until you have enough copies to make a full piece of wallpaper - but that takes longer than simply using the pattern tool.
However, the best tool for generating patterns for wallpaper is probably this tiling feature:
tiling:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles.html
I wouldn't bother reading the whole manual - just the parts you might need to reference while working on a project. The bezier curve section in the manual is good to read:
bezier curves:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Paths-Creating.html
As mentioned on that page, paths can be created using three ways:
1. the Freehand tool
2. the Bezier
3. the Calligraphy tool
My favourite is the bezier tool. It offers precise control.
The other tools are good too (and probably fun to use) but for precise drawing, I like the Bezier tool myself.
Other users might prefer the other drawing tools (Freehand tool or Calligraphy tool) for faster stroke creation and faster line effects.
Once you draw a shape and close it (click on the first endpoint when placing the last endpoint) (I always recommend closing a shape - but you don't have to) then you can colour the shape any colour you would like or with a shaded gradient or even make it transparent to any degree and overlay it on top of other shapes. Lots of control to do some pretty creative stuff.
I would also recommend organizing your drawing into layers. If...(continued on next post...)

Do you have plan to make flash player to open source?

Adobe abandons flash player for mobile web browser.
We, many flash developers, can make great flash applications for mobile.
We do not satisfy AIR.
If adobe make flash player to open souce, we can use it in our mobile applications.
Open flash player source code!
Flash is best cross platform application environment.
Adobe can't? We can!

Hi daslicht,

FC - Open source, MXP's, Adobe Bridge?

1) is FC going to be Open source (ever)?
2) Any tech to write MXP's and extentions in standart Adobe way or Eclipse one?
3) Will thare be any connection to bridge?
4) BTW any way to run 2 FC's at the same tyme with different work spaces?
Sory for my EN

Check after reseting the preferences of the bridge ,
Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appear or press the Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) and then luanch bridge.
Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK
Also check in the new user account does it work for you

Do I need to pay anything to Adobe if I inject java script using some open source library?

Hello,
I want to restrict PDF reader to achieve Digital Rights Management (DRM).
Do I need to pay anything to Adobe if I inject java script to achieve so using some open source library?
Basically I want my PDF documents to be restricted such that I can:
Limit printing
Prevent screenshots
Restrict access by license expiry date
Restrict distribution of downloaded PDF (i.e. the document should run on specific machine only)
Restrict copy and paste within PDF document
I came across below links from which I suspect Adobe expects one to pay if he/she attempts to restrict reader functionality in some way?
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/reader/topic_drm.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/overview.html
Am I correct in my assumption?

I think it is a vain hope to imagine you could implement DRM via JavaScript. Remember it can be turned off.
Printing is either enabled or disabled according to document security.
Working with PDFs does not require permission from Adobe but
* adding functionality to Adobe Reader definitely does; a DRM development license is a major investment.
* if the file is Reader-enabled, all third party tools will disable that.

How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

Hi,
Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
3. Click on OK.
This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

Make version cue open source

I know it's a long shot. But any chance that adobe will release version cue cs4 as open source or maybe the sdk?

Install SharePoint Foundation on your Windows 7 PC (it will need to be 64-bit OS). The setup is a little complicated but okay once you get it set up. There are also some tricks to set up using non-domain accounts.
Also be sure to install SQL Server Express first and do a "Farm" install (not "Stand-alone"). Use the "with tools" package of SQL Server to get Management Studio.
With Visual Studio Express you won't have all the deployment bells and whistles, and you will have to set up your project items by hand, but you can still build your .wsp.
If you are going to release a commercial product you will need to test deploying it to a SharePoint farm built on Windows Server 2008 at some stage, obviously.
