Are there any plans to move the "Math Check" to AFTER the O.K. BUTTON is pushed on STEP AND REPEAT?

One of my pet peeves is that I have to clear all the fields in the STEP AND REPEAT dialouge box before I can begin entering information.  I have been patiently waiting for this bug to be fixed.  I am beginning to wonder if Adobe is even aware of the bug?  It drives me nuts to no end!!!  I am sure it is responsible for several points in my blood pressure reading on given days.  I'll have an object selected that I need to step 7 times and I'll bring up the Step and Repeat dialouge box.  I'll enter 7 in the COUNT field.  InDesign will in some cases immediately flag the operation as not possible because there are numbers in the other two fields that I haven't had a chance to edit yet that will cause the step and repeat operation to go off the pasteboard.  It makes me MAD because it changes my 7 back to a 1 and I have to go and put in the correct values for the VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL offset fields and then I have to go back up to the COUNT field and re-enter my 7.  All of this and I haven't even hit the O.K. button yet!!!  Can someone at Adobe pleeeeeeaaaaaase inform the programmers of this glitch and have them move the MATH CHECK to AFTER THE O.K. BUTTON is clicked!  I wouldn't mind the message if the figures I entered were incorrect and I had hit the O.K. button.  But it drives me absolutely insane when it starts trying to correct me before I've even finished entering my values!
Am I the only one?
I would love to hear from anyone else out there that gets frustrated from this.  If for no other reason then to let me know I haven't completely lost my sanity yet.
Thanks.
Randy

O.K. Peter.  I did go and file a report.  I couldn't bring myself though to call it a feature request because I clearly believe it is a bug.  A co-worker of mine and I had a long discussion about it.  He argued your side of things suggesting that the program was working as the programmers intended for it to be and because of that I couldn't call it a bug.  But, I contend that the program IS NOT working as the programmers intended for it to be because if you look at the OBJECT > TRANSFORM > MOVE item in InDesign it also brings up a dialogue box.  This dialogue box also has a PREVIEW check box on it.  If the PREVIEW check box is checked then it immediately evaluates the numbers as you enter them into the various fields.  And if you enter an invalid number it will immediately present the error message.  However, if the PREVIEW check box is left unchecked then it waits until you press the O.K. Button before evaluating the numbers and executing the move.  The STEP AND REPEAT dialogue box should behave the same way but it doesn't.  It behaves as if the PREVIEW check box is checked whether it is or not.  So that is a BUG in my humble opinion.
Thanks for your help in pointing me to the correct form.  I'm usually so busy working that I never have time to look that kind of stuff up.

  • As far as I know, the iPad cannot presently playback a full length movie from a DVD or any other source.  Are there any plans to add such a capability to the iPad in the future?

    Phil0124:  Sorry, I guess that I may not have communicated clearly initially.  The reason that I asked about the DVD reading capability in the first place is that I would like to be able to watch a movie "stand-alone" (like on an airplane) on my iPad without having an internet connection.  If VUDU is strickly a streaming service that wouldn't satisfy my needs after all.  After looking into the iTunes store offerings, I can see that I can either purchase a movie or rent one from them.  Either way, as I understand it, the content would then reside in a file in the iTunes folder in my computer (if rented, this would just be temporarily) and could be viewed on my computer and/or transferred to my iPad for viewing.  Considering the legal question, isn't there a copy being made and transferred into my possession.  So,what's up with that?
    Yes Vudu streams. iTunes does not. If you buy or rent a movie on your computer through the iTunes store, then you are legally entitled to transfer that movie to your digital device as long as that device is under the Same Apple ID used to download it to the computer, and is authorized to view the content. Usually this is the case if your device is synced with iTunes on the computer  This is legal and covered by the terms of use of the iTunes store.   
    If your rent a movie on your computer you can also transfer it to your iPad but it will be removed from the computer as rentals can only exist in one place at a time. When the rental period expires the movie will be automatically removed from your computer or device, wherever it is when the rental period expires.
    If you buy a movie on your iPad these can be transferred to your computer using the Transfer Purchases button on iTunes on your computer while the iPad is connected to it.   Rentals on iPads or other mobile device cannot be transferred and must be watched in the iPad or device that download them.
    All of these methods through the iTunes store download the complete movie to the device or computer, so no internet connection is required for watching at a later date.
    Rentals have a 30 day life as long as they haven't begun to be watched.  Once the movie has been started then it has a 48 hour expiry period. That is you must finish watching the rented movei within 48 hours of rental as after that it is removed from the device.  You can watch it as many times as you want in that period of time though.

    are there any plans for apple tv to be true hd 1080 rather then "just" 720. 

    I agree, but there should not be any disagreement for a standard that has been defined, and I think the OP doesn't understand the standard. So I was just trying to help.

    Are there any free TV channels that can be received on the Apple TV?

    No, it's not a TV tuner.  It's primarily marketed as a rental vehicle for iTunes store movies/purchases and for playback of compatible (see specs) media from iTunes.
    Some subscription streams are available eg Netflix, MLB as well as youTube and some limited internet content (no browser).

  • Are there any 3rd Party Cloud Application Readiness Assessment tools in the market today?

    I have couple of interrelated questions here:
    1
    Are there any 3rd party tools, which do Cloud Readiness  Assessments for on-premises Applications. I am looking for names of any such tools, if they exist, which thoroughly analyse on-premises applications, and generate detailed reports on whether the
    application is ready for moving to the cloud (and why?), or if it needs some changes before moving (which changes?), or if the application needs major changes (which?) or cannot be move to cloud in its present form. The cloud here could be Azure (1st pref)
    or AWS (2nd pref).
    2
    From the tools named in response to above questions, which are the ones which can be used for doing applications assessments for a large number of on-premises apps in most efficient way? Do such tools actually exist? Imagine scenario that an enterprise customer
    comes to me and asks that they want to check the cloud readiness for 3000 applications in shortest possible time - What tool will you recommend for such massive assessments?
    Thanks, LH

  • Why is Flash slow on OS X and are there any plans to fix it?

    Hi,
    The other I was talking with a friend of mine about performance of OS X vs Windows. Looks like while in certain aspects OS X is faster than Windows, in others it is painfully slower. While Safari 4 is 42x faster than IE 7, Flash is incredibly slower on OS X compared to Windows.
    Any ideas why is this the case? Are there any ongoing cooperations between Apple and Adobe to fix this problem?

  • Is there any way to add AppleCare to an iPhone after the order when the phone has not been shipped yet

    Simple question. I purchased an iPhone 5, and added AppleCare to the cart. After processing the order, I found that AppleCare had been dropped from the cart. The phone obviously hasnt shipped yet. I have tried calling, but am unable to reach anyone. Is there anyway to purchase AppleCare after main purchase without going to an apple store. The closest one for me is 2+ hours away.

    My iPhone 5 Ordering Situation:
    Successfully submitted pre-order at 2:05am CST
    Realized I did not add AppleCare+
    Tried to add it as a separate product
    Unable to add AppleCare+ after submiting pre-order
    This Morning:
    I just got off the phone with an Apple representative.  He assured me that, once my iPhone 5 arrives on September 21, I will be able to: 1) call Apple and have AppleCare+ added to my iPhone 5;  2) go into an Apple Retail Store and have AppleCare+ added to my iPhone 5.  He said I would have thirty days from my device's ship date (September 21) to add AppleCare+ to it.  He also recommended that, if I wanted to have AppleCare+ added at an Apple Retail Store, I should make an appointment as soon as possible.  Because I was still concerned something might go wrong, the Apple representative emailed me a copy of my case number to use as a reference in case I have any issues obtaining AppleCare+ on September 21.
    Caveats & More Information:
    I ordered through the Apple Store app on my iPhone 4
    I live in the United States
    My carrier is AT&T
    I have a case number and repeated assurances from an Apple representative
    While your situation may differ from mine I do hope you're able to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone 5 once it arrives, either by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE or by making an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store.
    Best Wishes,
    Dylan

  • Are there any plans to fix the misinterpretation of the Exchange ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets"  in IOS6?

    We are testing using IOS6 in our Corporate environment and came across a scenario where IOS6 incorrectly interprets the Exchange 2010 ActiveSync policy "Minimum number of character sets" as the number of special characters required rather than the number of character sets required. Is anyone aware of any plans to correct this in future releases? Here is a thread on Microsoft's forums about the issue:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrmobility/thread/fe05 1d55-24ba-45e4-b054-67861f28422d/

    We have tried Android, Windows Phone7/8 and they all adhere to the "Minimum number of character sets" set in the ActiveSync policy, but IOS does not.
    Require an alphanumeric password   Select this check box to require device passwords to contain both numbers and letters. The default is numbers only.
    Passwords must include this many character sets   To enhance the security of device passwords, you can require passwords to contain characters from multiple character sets. Select a number from 1 to 4. The sets are letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. For example, if you select 3, passwords must contain characters from three of these sets.
    All other mobile device except IOS 5.x/6.X don't follow this.
    You have to select "Require an alphanumeric password" which is letters and numbers.  But then you can only select 1-4 for the character sets. 
    So we set it at 1, so that would mean you would only need letters and numbers, IOS does not reconize letters, letters uppercase, numbers or symobols as a charator set, it interprets the setting as how symbols you need.
    If you set it at 2, then IOS makes you have "2" symbols in your password.....and so on...
    Make sense?
    It just seems that IOS does not reconize charator sets, it just looks at the number as how many symbols you need in a password.

    Thanks for the responses. I did submit this issue as a bug report earlier this morning also but thought I'd post here in the event any Apple insiders saw this and cared to comment. 
    This really is a significant problem in that our testing shows that the way IOS5 interprets this ActiveSync policy in Exchange 2010 does not allow you to enforce a password using just letters and numbers. This is because  the only valid values for this policy are 1-4. The way IOS5 interprets this requires 1-4 special characters in the password, not 1-4 character sets.

  • Are there any plans to work on the follow features?

    Muse is an awesome program but it leaves a lot to be desired.
    I primarily use muse for prototyping user testing flows and presentations.
    Here are a list of things I really wish Muse offered:
    The ability to copy and past from other adobe programs with out adding a black background
    A basic shape tool like indesign offers
    A pen tool
    The ability to format text with bullet points
    Glyphs pallet
    Ability to edit and add the html Muse creates. I am looking for an efficient way to add interaction and things on the site without creating widgets.Maybe you can create an extension to Muse the widget creation seems exhausting.
    The ability to PRINT would be awesome!!! I would like to print both the design (sitemaps) plans and the designs themselves.
    If you added the print and drawing tools you would make my life 10x easier.
    Thanks!
    Vinny

    My 7 cents:
    1. Many Adobe programs can do so much more with imagery than the web would easily understand (or compress). So for now, it's better to let web tools require you to think about what you're trying to move to a web design, and use a file preferably. (Note: Adobe Edge Animate is the first application supporting Copy/Paste from Illustrator, by automatically converting PostScript vectors into SVG vectors. A first, and quite an important step for Adobe.)
    2. and 3. When Canvas and/or SVG techniques become wide-spread and well-implemented features in most browsers, software like Muse or Edge Animate might consider offering basic drawing tools for simple shapes. But that's not happening very soon, I'm afraid. And when it happens, users will immediately test and use it beyond its limitations, and start legitimately requesting for even more options (like your point 3). So: don't hold your breath for it...
    4. and 5. Presto, Bingo, Boom ! Download the newest version (CC 2014.1) and be pleasantly surprised
    Oops, wait - Glyphs are called the Characters palette, and it doesn't offer OpenType features like alternate glyphs (the web doesn't support that). But at least it's damn easy now to pick a special character (or ornament) from a font.
    6. You can add chunks of HTML to a page (simply Paste or use Object - Insert HTML), and tweak the HTML Head and all in the Site Settings or Page Settings. (Beware: Muse might render inserted HTML objects a bit awkward – always judge a true web preview.) Editing Muse's own HTML is possible (simply open up the html files from the exported folder), but it will always be a one-way direction, and you'll loose the option of using BC as an easy host to Publish to.
    7. Fair enough, printing the Overview and Designs ! I use screen dumps of the windows (on a Mac: Cmd-Shift-3, or 4 with hitting the Spacebar to select window). But it would be nice to have a command and some good-old-fashioned PDF thing...
    Cheers to Muse 2014.1 !

  • Are there any plans to migrate the BDB project to Visual Studio 2005?

    The problem is when BDB is linked into an application built with VS8, deleting some BDB objects results in mixing memory managers and application crashes.
    That is, if BDB is built with VS6, the BDB DLL will use VS6's new and delete operators. If the application that uses BDB is built with VS8 its objects will be allocated using VS8's new and delete:
    DbSequence *seq = new DbSequence(db, 0);
    delete seq;
    The first line calls application's new and then the DbSequence constructor. The second line, on the other hand, calls the destructor, which in turn calls the operator delete (Microsoft's "scalar deleting destructor"). The destructor resides in the BDB DLL, so the delete call is made in the context of the DLL, trying to delete the memory block that was allocated by the executable.

    Thank you for the reply, Michael.
    I finally have been able to work around all inter-DLL dependencies between VS6 and VS8 builds. You may want to mention in README the fact that if C++ interface is used, the application is expected to be built with the same compiler used to build BDB, even if custom callbacks for malloc, realloc and free are used in the code.
    The BDB project builds partially in VS2005. A few subprojects fail by default and the db_dll project requires a couple of small fixes. For example, advapi32.lib is missing from the list of input libraries in db_dll project (SetSecurityDescriptorDacl and InitializeSecurityDescriptor). The resulting DLL seems to work fine.
    Also, those applications that build with 32-bit time_t will fail to link. It's easy to fix, but I wonder if this will have any effect on the format of the database.

  • Are there any plans for Firefox Sync to include the customisation of the toolbar?

    It's frustrating that Firefox sync doesn't include toolbar customisation data. It's otherwise a great piece of functionality that means when installing Firefox I don't have to set anything up apart from remembering to rearrange the buttons to my preference. This also goes for whether the menu and bookmarks toolbar are displayed.

    hi gsoper, i've asked in the firefox sync channel about this and it's not something that is on the roadmap for sync at the moment, as that would be difficult across versions, platforms, when add-ons differ, and so on...
