Idea for improved guides

I think it would be a good idea to improve the guides in Illustrator by optionally create them over the whole workspace (as they work now) or only for the separate print areas.

Thank you, Doug (seems to be an acceptable compromise). But i have to change the tool and to breat my working process for that. What about a shortcut in combination with the rulers to switch between the two modes - or is there already one too?!

  • Ideas for improvements in and additional flexibility for the menu widget

    Recently in the Muse help forum, I discussed in great detail some current limitations in the menu widget, along with some detailed suggestions for future features that would both solve these limitations and increase its flexibility. I hope the Muse team will take a moment to read through this discussion and consider these ideas: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6073318#6073318

    Hi Chuck,
    I just wanted to assure you that we on the development team have followed your thread. We have a long list of improvements we'd like to make to the menu widget. Most of the items you raised were already on our "to do" list. The one item I specifically added from your thread was the observation that it would be helpful to be able to set the alignment for the entire menu bar in order to control the direction the menubar grows/shrinks as top level pages are added/removed in Plan view. (The need for additional alignment/positioning controls for individual menu items and submenus was on the list.)
    Thank you for your continued thoughts on how we can improve Muse. If you'd like more insight into upcoming changes, the Muse Private Beta Program is open to any active subscriber who can accept the terms of the Non-disclosure Agreement. You can join via the Help menu in Muse. (The program is currently dormant, as we're between releases, but it will become active again soon.)

  • Interested in your ideas for improving the JKI State Machine

    [cross-posted to LAVA]
    Hi LabVIEW'ers,
    Over at JKI, we've soft-launched a new idea exchange for the JKI State Machine:
    http://ideas.jki.net...-state-machine/
    I've seeded this with a couple ideas we've heard mentioned before.  If you're interested in providing your feedback on ways to make the JKI State Machine Better, we'd love to hear it!
    In addition to feature ideas, we're also interested in knowing what types of design patterns and application examples you'd like to see.
    Regards,
    -Jim

    Hi Wiebe,
    You're right that you don't get edit-time type checking with a string-based state machine (as opposed to an enum-based state machine) -- the up-side is that you get a much faster/flexible way to work on the state machine (such as having the ability to comment out state strings by prefixing with a "//" or "#", as our state string parser allows).  Also, we do have a special "Default" frame to catch states that are miss-spelled or not in defined in the Case Structure -- this will present a dialog and raise and error, by default.  And, it's possible that we could create some tools to do edit-time checking of the state strings against the Case Structure frames.
    Regarding state flow, there is the possibility of creating tooling that helps visualize state flow.  In a post on LAVA, Mikael Holmström posted an example of using the Endevo GOOP Development Suite to reverse engineer a state machine.
    This doesn't completely work, but it shows an interesting possibility.
    Thanks for offering to refer people to the JKI State Machine.
    Cheers,
    -Jim

  • Ideas for improvements of apps in terms of efficiency and delivery

    As a mathematician with some basic notions of programing I often cannot avoid to ellucubrate about the nature of the code of the apps or programs that I am using at the time, sometime thinking of possible improvements or additions that could be made with as little efficiency cost as possible. Though I do relize that most of them might be unviable and thus not use at all; but I also believe that eventually there might be one or two worth having a deeper look at for further development and it would be a shame for it to go to waste just for not having taken the time to put it out. In conclusion: I strongly encourage everyone to criticize and contribute to any of the suggestions made in whichever way they deem more appropiate as well as to add any of their own that they might think may be of value.
    1. Remote app to controll ones iTunes library
    I think it is a shame that it limits the control you have over your iTunes library to your wifi net as the latter is often slave to a network that can be of very limited reach for a whole range of different reasons. It is my understanding that, at the current state of things, the device we use as a remote must also be connected to the same network; but this device is often an iPhone which is not bound that wifi source (as it is also the case for a considerable part of the later iPad generations). My conjecture is that the primary reason why this is not exploited by this app is that it would take up a lot of data exchange to synchronize the libraries and increase the exposure of both devices to malware attacks. But this issiue could be easily tackled by simply adding an optional feature for these sort of devices on iTunes that would entail saving only the titles in the library at that moment and establish a quick link between each one of them and the reproduction command of the latter on the iTunes library so that it can be easily commanded to play a track from our device without having to worry of it being in reach of the wifi network.

  • Snow Leopard Chinese Input System Demo & Request for ideas to improve it

    I had been looking for a detailed Snow Leopard Chinese Input System demo online for sometime and failed. What I found were just short video clips of people trying to use the system for a few words here and there, nothing detailed. So I've taken the initiative to create such a video and hope people interested learning more about the Chinese Input System may find it useful.
    http://kempton.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/snow-leopard-chinese-input-system-demo/
    I like the system and like to see users of the system sending in suggestions to Apple for them to improve it and make the system even better.
    Here are some comment/ideas of mine,
    1) I love the predictive word association, it has saved me time in entering many words.
    2) Add an "undo" to the track pad input.
    Sometimes I see the right word predicted but my hand was too fast and I added a dot or stroke that takes out the word I want.
    3) My pen stroke order sometimes ***** and this mess up the recognition system badly.
    I wonder will it be difficult to implement a display tool that
    given a passage of "Chinese text" as input
    have the system "display" the "correct" pen strokes order of how the words are expected in the system. The stupidly simple word “生” should not take 20-30 seconds for someone to fight with the system to get the correct recognition.
    Here is how I captured some of my thoughts earlier this month in Chinese typing the article in Snow Leopard,
    自從九月 [...]，我便開始用Apple Snow Leopard新的中文輸入系統。當時我寫
    “打本文某一㘹字時慢到我想死 (一笑)！希望將來我的中文輸入會快一點吧！”
    我現在有點經驗使用這中文輸入系統，慢慢開始熟練，寫文章都叫做幾快。以下是我的一些觀察，
    1) 輸入系統的”聯想”(predictive word association)有時可以幫我寫小好幾個字。
    2) 輸入系統非常依靠正確的筆劃順序。不幸我寫得不太好，所以有時候我要同一字寫多次才成。
    3) 冇undo。有時我寫得太快，加多一箑一點，字便變了。冇undo，很不方便。

    Make sure you also send your ideas for improvements to Apple via this link:

  • Suggestions for improvements to Maps 2

    I thought I'd put down a few ideas on improvements to Maps and let other people add / comment
    Routing:
    I like the idea of 'optimised' routing combining shortest and fastest but it would be great to be able to control the weighting given so you could, for instance, configure for a mostly short route but one that is still quite fast. As another idea, it would be good to see the alternate routes created by the short / fast / optimised options all together. Either shown on the map or at least with some simple statistics - distance, estimated time, number of motorways / a-roads / b-roads / other roads as a percentage of total journey. I find that in the country the 'shortest' route will inevitably result in being sent down very narrow lanes while in the city the shortest route is often a very good route. Being able to see the options and adjust the optimised weightings would be great for coping with this difference.
    Estimated travel time / fastest route:
    It would be good to gather info from Maps users in your area (anonymous, of course) to identify actual road speeds at different times of day. This info should be very easy to collect over time as Maps is 'online' (unlike, say, a TomTom) and would be a great feature-add. Could also help with traffic info and would be even better if you could set a 're-route if other users appear to have been travelling slowly on this road recently' option with controllable sensitivity and 'recent' duration. Maybe one for the more distant future when more people have Maps but still worth collecting the time-of-day / speed data starting now
    Recent route logs:
    I'd like to be able to look at recent routes (not ones I've saved specifically but just those calculated by the system to guide me) and check actual travel time, mean speed etc. Maybe even a Sports Tracker style export to Google Earth? Maybe just a 'last 5 trips' style history.
    Nearby friends:
    Maybe just with Nokia Maps users but preferably with any user of any device capable of publishing location data to the net. Basically, showing a list / map icons of friends of yours so you know who is close.
    Shared POIs:
    The ability to publish POIs (such as your home, your fav. restaurant etc.) - maybe in an RSS stream - that friends with Maps can subscribe to. Also the ability to publish a POI on a web page so it can be downloaded on the phone or via a pc. Very useful for clubs and societies.

    Because I don't want to necessarily change the MainStage patch...I simply want to use different "parts"of a single patch.
    For example, I might have a single main stage patch with 4 channel strips. The first one has strings, the second one has choir, and the third and fourth have both of them (using aliases if the sounds are internal, or MIDI if external). The first strip listens on MIDI channel 1, the second on 2, the third AND fourth listen on 3. Now I can trivially (and inexpensively) switch from strings to choir to both.
    Further, I might have other channel strips on that patch that are listening to different controllers.

  • Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

    Greetings,
    I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
    A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
    I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

    Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
    I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
    I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
    Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
    It all really depends on your demographic audience.
    Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
    I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
    And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

  • Suggestion for Improving Number

    Hello Oracle Java community,
    I've recently encountered some difficulties using the abstract class java.lang.Number, and have a suggestion for improvement.
    I'm writing a class that computes statistical information on a list of numbers - it would be nice to not couple this class to Integer, Double, BigDecimal, or any other wrapper by using generics. I saw that there is a nice superclass that all Number objects inherit from.
    I came up with:
    public class Statistics<T extends Number> {
    private List<T> data;
    // statistical data that i wish to find and store, such as median, mean, standard dev, etc
    public synchronized void setData(List<T> data) {
    this.data = data;
    if (this.data != null && !this.data.isEmpty()) calculateStatistics();
    private void calculateStatistics() {
    // Welcome to instanceof and casting hell...
    h4. It would be nice to have richer functionality from the Number class, say to do mathematical operations with them or compare them.
    h4. After all, in the real world it is possible to do so.
    h4. Real numbers are much like BigDecimal. Why not take the idea of BigDecimal, and make that the parent of Integer, BigInteger, Double, Short, Byte, Float (I'm probably forgetting a few)? All of those are limited forms of real numbers. It would make comparison between Number datatypes easy, would probably remove all of that duplicated arithmetic code between all of the children of Number, and also allow Numbers to be used in powerful generic ways. The parent/replacement of BigDecimal could even be named RealNumber, which stays true to its math domain.
    As a side note, I'm solving this problem by taking an initial step to convert the List<whatever type of Number that the user enters> into a List<BigDecimal> by getting the toString() value of each element when cast as a Number.
    private List<BigDecimal> convertData(List<T> data) {
    ArrayList<BigDecimal> converted = new ArrayList<BigDecimal>();
    for (T element : data) {
    converted.add(new BigDecimal(((Number) element).toString()));
    return converted;
    Criticism is always welcome.
    Thanks for your time and thoughts.
    -James Genac

    How compareTo() came into existence is from Comparable interface. As I understand, Comparable came into existence since Collections API has sorting functions - which needs to be run with a matching Comparable object that knows how to determine which element is larger than the other (not limited to objects representing numbers, you might sort a list of Persons). Hence, compareTo() is not solely meant for the comparison of numbers. Existence of the method in BigDecimal is just one case.
    Subclasses can override the equals() method, but that cannot be implemented in a cleaner manner and leads to a very poor design. For example, you might want to compare an Integer and a Float. So the Integer class's equals() method need to have some if-else structure to determine the other type and then compare. Same holds true for the Float class's equals() method as well. Ultimately, Everything becomes a mess. All subclasses of RealNumber needs to know about all other subclasses of RealNumber. And you will not be able to introduce new subtypes and expect the equals() method to work correctly.
    To avoid this, you need to depend on a single representation form for all types of numbers. If that's the case, you might just live with something like BigDecimal and not use Byte, Float, Integer,... (which we kind of do in some cases - for example to represent monetary amounts). So we can live without Byte, Float, Integer,...
    Then we need some utility classes that would contain some number type specific functions to work with primitives. So we will also have Byte, Float, Integer... unrelated to BigDecimal.
    Clearly, the wrapper types are there not because of the need to represent real world number types, but because of the need to represent computer domain number types. Hence, they have been organized not according to relationships found in real world number types. Many of us find this way of modelling sufficient and have an understanding about the limitations. But if you need to model the real world number relationships for some special reason, you might write some new classes. Then again there will be real world aspects that you will not be able to model easily. So you will model some aspects and neglect the other.

  • Firefox users cannot presently exercise choice, to opt-in or out of "data collected for improving services." As a result, Firefox is constantly dialing home, sometimes four times a day or more up to 48 times a day. There is some over-stepping and redunda

    I understand the charter on this is to "check-in" once every time the program is turned on, and then once every 6 hours after that, or, once every 24 hours presumably. But the phone-home-effect is over-stepping these basic parameters. If a user turns their browser off and then on, Firefox is still obligated to "check-in" even if it just checked in 3 minutes prior. If the coding is not pre-designed to overstep, or act excessively in a redundant focus, the instance of once every six hours or once every 24 hours, is still overmuch if a user has been doing this (non-voluntarily-participating) for 9 months or longer.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == This started when Firefox took up the initiative of "improving service. to end users" or similar idea, making the web safer for novice users, etcetera.

    Opening question was truncated. Should read: "Firefox users cannot presently exercise choice, to opt-in or out of "data collected for improving services." As a result, Firefox is constantly dialing home, sometimes four times a day or more up to 48 times a day. There is some over-stepping and redundancy here. It would seem the practice of "improving service" has been accomplished with as much information as Mozilla has gathered in the last 6-18 months about its users habits. '''Isnt it about time to give users the option to opt out of that now that most the heavy liftiing has been accomplished?'''"

  • IDES for XI ?

    I would like to know if there is any IDES kind of training stuff for XI. If you have seen the official training material, there are some sample stuff, already in place , e.g. TBIT40BASECOMP.

    Hi Danus.
    Part of the installation of XI is importing the SWCV BASIC
    to the Repository.
    This Software Component includes some example objects that can be configured in order to create some training scenarios.
    Inorder to do so,please refer to the manual called XI 3.0 demo configuration guide (get it on SDN or the marketplace)
    If you have some techincal skills you can configure this demo in less then 4 hours and there you go....An IDES for XI.
