Does the Dreamweaver team work at Adobe?

Here's why I ask.  We're in CS6 now, which is what, the 12th version of dreamweaver?  I keep thinking, maybe there's going to be bridge integration someday.  Mini-bridge would be awesome.  But it's like the dreamweaver team has never seen another Adobe product.  Yes, there's a place in dreamweaver as a bridge option (if the image is already resized, and you want it stored in your root directory), but from Dreamweaver there's no preview in bridge (we can explore with Windows file explorer, that's an option, but no mention of bridge).  I keep hoping I can draw an image placeholder in golive, select a file in bridge, and the option 'Place an optimized file created in these dimensions in your current directories files' will appear, but that option isn't there.  Contribute had that back in CS1, but Dreamweaver makes me work for it.  It gives me the ability to draw a placeholder to dimensions, but then I have to open photoshop, resize it, save it, and find it. 
And finding images is hard, because there's no mini-bridge!  Want to view all the images you have in a directory so you can select the right thumbnail to place on your page?  Better use another program.  Sure, there's the asset view, where you can wait while dreamweaver creates microscopic thumnails of every image in every directory, but something as simple as view files as thumbnails - not this time.  Maybe CS7?
And as long as I'm griping about features that every other program in the world seems to have mastered, would it be so hard to have real-time spell check?  I don't think I own another program (or device) that let's me mis-type as happily as dreamweaver.  Yes, if I remember I can run a command to spell check, but why make me remember?  Why not incorporate the same (dare I say technology?) that Microsoft has used for all of this century and much of the last, and just put a squiggly line under my screw-ups? 
Please, Adobe, spend a little more time thinking about the people that use your products (I know I'm not the only person who puts images on web pages!), and less time coming up with new programs like Muse so we don't have to use the programs we already love.

Although I know it's never been considered DW is always looking for ways to expand.  I can hear where you are coming from, however, from a priorities perspective from other posts I've seen, removing the old functionality and trying to bring in the standards of HTML5 and CSS3 is more important, because as Nancy and PZ eluded to, people have been doing it this way for years and competitors are coming out with better ways to handle the new technologies and DW needs to be on the cutting edge there.  Based on the web fonts that was introduced in CS6, I would like to see integration with Font Management tools.  With InDesign and Photoshop you don't know how often I rely on those external (non-Adobe) tools to tell me what fonts are in use and to be able to select any font on my system to use on the webpage (given that you have the rights to the font of course). 
I will say this about your last paragraph.  I did recently upgrade to the CS6 suite, but your comment there is one of the reasons I have not gone into the Cloud.  I feel like my money would be supporting that product when I don't need/want to use it.

  • Does the new iPad work with adobe flash?

    Does the new Ipad work with a version of adobe flash?  I have read several articles, and I'm just more confused than when I started!  I'm a newer Mac user, and I'm interested in the new iPad, but I don't know if I want it if it doesn't support internet pages that use adobe flash.  Thanks for your help!!

    Adobe eliminated its "mobile Flash" department.  Android, Mobile Windows, IOS, WebOS ... everyone is out of luck.

  • OT: The Dreamweaver team's blog post about the Dreamweaver modernization effort

    Hi all,
    The Dreamweaver team has shared its thoughts on the rationale behind changes in Dreamweaver CC in its blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/06/a-look-at-the-modernized-dreamweaver-cc.html. The blog post also touches upon what's ahead while providing alternatives to some of the older features that did not make it to Dreamweaver CC.
    The team has taken into account feedback from several quarters before formulating a reply. I thank all of you on this forum who have provided us with inputs and constructive feedback to help us respond to your concerns.
    I would like to particularly call attention to this sentence from the blog post:
    We have just begun the modernization process and invite you to voice your opinion. We are committed to taking action on customer feedback and remaining as transparent as possible about our future plans.
    In this context, it is worth noting that the Creative Cloud provides us with the flexibility to  quickly try and address issues and areas that fall within the purview of our shared vision for Dreamweaver.
    Thanks,
    Preran

    Namaste Preranji,
    That URL that you posted is broken it should not be "dr eamweaver" but "dreamweaver" I hope that is not a bad omen. (-;

  • HT4914 How does the payment method work for iTunes Match?

    How does the payment method work with iTunes Match. For example, if you have a gift card, does it take it out of that. Or is there tax? What if you cancel your subscription in the middle of the year, does it take the money for that year or not? If someone could answer those questions it would be greatly apreciated. And if anyone has their own questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.

    Hi HLFrank,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    You can opt for monthly payment in a yearly contract or pay at one go for an year.
    Please check the option at http://www.adobe.com/in/products/creativecloud/buying-guide.html

    This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4253485
    Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time.  Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

    How does the Convert Command Work Under the Catalogue Manager?

    My suggestion would be that you download the pdf version of the organizer help file:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/elements-organizer_reference.pdf
    Start with page 57 for catalogs.
    I am sure you'll have a better understanding of backup/restore and converting when you understand what a catalog is.
    Please come back with your questions afterward .

    Does the Ipod touch work with airplay mirroring?

    No. Only iPhone 4S and iPad (2nd or 3rd Gen) as it requires more processing power. You can still use airplay with your device though.

  • Does the iPod Mini Work with Windows?

    I am thinking of buying an iPod mini but I don't have an Apple computer. Does the iPod mini work with Windows efficiently? Thanks....

    Hello Ian,
    Can you be really specific about the necessary Windows XP updates needed? I run XP Pro on a rather new computer and just got an IPOD mini. I'm ready to tear my hair out because iTunes seems to crash my computer every time I change one CD for another. iTunes runs REALLY, REALLY slow for me. Also read on the board that iTunes 6.0 and the mini don't work well together. True or not true?
    Thanks - Genevieve

  • Does the ethernet port work when the using airport express in client mode?

    I am considering using an airport express to extend my existing wireless network to a room where I can't get a cable to.
    I will need to connect a at least 3 devices to the airport express.
    The questions are:
    - is an airport express the right answer to this problem?
    - if so, does the ethernet port work (AE on client mode) as a passthru into the main network?
    - can I plug a hub to it?
    Thanks

    Hi Tesserax,
    Really appreciate you taking time to respond.
    I stopped by the Apple store this weekend and one of their sales people ( not one of their genius bar people) told me NO to all questions.  I tend to believe more answers from people in this forum but just realize that I have not mentioned one possibly important point:
    the main AP to which I will be connecting the airport express is not an Airport Extreme/Express AP. 
    Thanks,
    Ricardo.
