Adobe, when can you get your act together?

I just installed Master Collection CS6 on a new machine and updated it to the latest versions.
But, the installer is still so utterly stupid and I have been complaining about that for years, filed numerous feature requests, but nothing happens. It is still the same  approach as three years ago and nothing has improved.
What do I mean:
Every program in the Suite installs up to 40+ languages in the AMT directory, it repeats that in the Legal directory, then again repeats that in the OBLRes directory , sometimes even in the LMResources and RegLoc directory.
On a typical install this eats up more than 3 GB of space, just in order to show me the EULA in Afghan, Rumenian, Finnish, Arabic, Mandarin, Bulgarian, Taiwanese and what have you. Not only that, these files are replicated a multitude of times, slow down the download and installation and require quite some effort to get rid of that crap.
Adobe, why can't you make a simple installer like Microsoft that installs in either the selected language or the location that is set for the computer.?
There is no use for me to see your legal rights in one of the many (for me) unintelligible languages. Make it simple and save people time and around 3-4 GB space. Additionally, store all that crap in a central place like Adobe/Common, instead of replicating this all over the place for each and every application in the Suite.
Since you have never done anything with my earlier feature requests, this may be the better way to get your attention.
Sorry to sound so p*ssed off, but having to go through each and every program to clean up your mess, does not make me happy.

Thank you for your feedback Harm.  I will certainly be happy to pass on your feedback.  So that I can also verify this behavior can you confirm which operating system you are installing on?  By the reference to Adobe/Common it would appear you are using a Windows operating system?

  • Nokia - Get Your Act Together With This Important ...

    Hi all,
    Here are my main gripes with Ovi Suite:
    1. PC Suite was better and faster.
    2. Takes about 3-4 minutes to connect the phone.
    3. When syncing contacts no opition to make the phone no. 1 priority for sync, therfore you often end up with multiple copies of same contact and/or deleted contacts re-appearing - probably from Ovi online and Ovi Suite.
    4. Doesn't recognise personal folders in messages.
    5. Often crashes when syncing contacts.
    C'mon Nokia get your act together
    Mick

    workaround to fix crash is to disable synch contacts with ovi.com - many people have the same problem with many phones and o/s but it appears either Nokia does not care, or never looks in here or inthe Beta Labs area where the same undocumented feature is reported

    How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click?  (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

    Things i had to set manually;
    1) Keyboard layout, because it defaults to US
    2) Two mouse keys don't work had to manually set, Emulate3Buttons defaults on (wanted it off)
    3) "VideoOverlay" is off by default (or is not auto detected)
    3) needed to set DPI to 96
    4) needed to set color to 24 (defaulted to 8?)
    apart from that, the auto detection is vastly improving IMO.
    The main premise behind this, is to debate the auto detection capabilities of hardware by xorg.
