Make new features "Plugins" so we can take them or leave them

I am seeing a trend. Adobe is putting in new features and sometime breaking old ones in the process. Why not add features as "plugins" so users can choose which ones they want?
A perfect example are the new features in AI CC 17.1. After upgrading, I see the pencil/smooth tools are no longer seamlessly integrated like they were in version 17.0 and all other recent version of AI. But because I upgraded, I'm now forced to go back to CS6 or CS5 to get my pencil/smooth tool back. If it were a plugin I could choose to accept the Live Corner tool and reject the new, "improve" Pencil tool.

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to the problem, nothing has changed in your ability to add music to iTunes regardless of the source assuming that the format of the music is something iTunes can play - Apple has not restricted iTunes in any way other than the same limitations in supported format that have been present for years - so either there's a misunderstanding in how you're trying to add the music to iTunes or something's amiss with iTunes on your system. Please explain in detail what you're trying to do, specifically the source of the music, how you're trying to add it to iTunes, and where things are breaking down and someone here can probably help.
Regards.

  • What new features in Oracle 11g can Apps 11.5.10.2 benefit from ?

    hi there,
    we run Apps 11.5.10.2 on Solaris 10. I'm thinking of upgrading the RDBMS version from 10.2.0.4 --> 11.1.0.6 and I was wondering if anyone can reccomend some good features within the new 11g database to make use of.
    I'm aware of :
    - advanced compression
    - database replay (real application testing).
    Does anything else spring to mind ?
    many thanks
    Cameron.

  • Please make new features in Lion optional

    Dear Sir/Madam,
      First, I have to say after playing Lion for 2 weeks, I think Lion is really cool and improves many usability.
      But, one thing that I have noticed is that many new features are not necessary for all Mac users. E.g Auto-saving is not needed as many applications already supporting it (Office applications). This is a useful feature but I really want to save these system resources for my development work.
      I am a developer and I have the corei7 macbook pro with 8gb ram. During my development, my applications would use almost all 8GB ram.
      So I recommend that giving us an update to allow users to turn on the new features as they wish.
      Also I don't think Lion is as reliable as snow leopard. I am not sure if this is caused by any of the unstable functionalities?
      I love Mac and many other apple products. But please be aware of the reliability of the OS and don't make Lion another Windows Vista.
      Regards,
    Miao

    No one here can help you with those requests.  You should file feedback with Apple here.

  • I added a theme, but it only appears in the toolbar, not the entire screen (new tab page). How can i get the entire theme to show (fullecreen)?

    my theme is only showing behind the toolbar (tabs, search bars,etc.) when i go to the "Mozilla Firefox start page", my theme is still only in the toolbar, and the rest of the page is white. My theme is also only showing such small pieces of the theme chosen that most of the time you cant even tell that it is a fox in the corner. Is there a way for me to make my theme appear across the full screen?

    ok, since you are saying that my theme is a lightweight theme, are there "heavy weight themes" that would also theme the 'content' areas?

    They will only be where you put them.  They do not magically appear in new places.
    Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

  • Email can take several minutes to download on the new iPad 64 with WiFi.  I have an iPad 2, wifi, and another new iPad 8, wifi and neither has the time delay to download email.  Please advise.

    Email on the new iPad (64) WiFi version can take up to five minutes to download a message.  Same message on iPad 2 or new iPad (8) with WiFi are instantaneous.  Wondering why and how to correct.

    Try quitting the mail app and then relaunch it and see if the emails download correctly.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.

  • Why does Adobe implement new features half way?

    The new hover scrub with big thumbnails in icon view would be certainly useful if it was implemented in a way that works. As it is, it's useless. Unless your total footage is about ten clips, you end up with dozens or over a hundred clips with no way to sort them out, unless you love wasting time and you drag them all around in the order you want, which I'm sure very few people are willing to do.
    So why does Adobe bring in a new feature, even makes tutorials about it, when for most people is absolutely useless? I don't get it.
    Oh, and before you nag me about filing a feature request, don't. I already did it, and this is not something anyone should do. Feature requests should be for new ideas, not a crutch for Adobe to rely on to release new features half way, and then expect people to nag them about it to finish them.

    So I would have preferred a little more decency and for the Adobe Premiere team manager to say, we're not going to include this incomplete feature in CS6, we're going to get it right and include it in 6.5 or 7, in a way that people actually can take advantage of, because this is supposed to be a professional NLE, not a toy.
    Hi,
    I think what you meant to say is that you wish the team would have implemented sorting features before they added hover scrubbing. Hover scrubbing is a separate feature than Icon View, which has been in the product without sorting capability for years.
    I agree with you that sorting capability should have been added to icon view long ago, but that's no reason to hold back a cool feature like hover scrubbing to the UI.
    The other thing is that we as editors do not know what goes on behind the scenes during software development. There are a number of reasons why hover scrubbing made it into the interface before sort capability.
    Hover scrubbing might have been developed by another group, and key features important to Premiere Pro users were not yet added.
    There was not enough time to implement the feature, and other features took precedence.
    Implementing the feature broke 5 other things when it was added to the existing code.
    Implementing the feature causes the application to crash more frequently.
    Other reasons that are privy to software developers.
    Not saying that any of these things happened, but we cannot know. Honestly, there's not much more we can do as users can do but to request what we want, and how we want those things to work.

  • Where are the all-new features for China?

    Hello.
    I just upgraded from 10.7 to 10.8 and while going through the feature list I wanted to look more closely at the all-new features for China. However, it looks like most them are not there.
    OS X Mountain Lion brings all-new support for many popular Chinese features and services. The dictionary app now includes the Standard Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese. Improved text input makes typing in Chinese easier, faster, and more accurate. With eight new fonts, your writing can appear formal, informal, or fun. Mail works with QQ, 163, and 126. Baidu, the leading Chinese search provider, is a built-in option in Safari. Now you can post to the web right from the app you’re in. Post videos with Youku and Tudou. Post to Sina Weibo, the popular microblogging service. And share easier than ever. All these new services are easy to set up on your Mac.
    I've not been able to find anything about the new services that OS X integrates with. For example, in Safari I can only choose between Google, Yahoo and Bing. In QuickTime Player I can only upload to YouTube and Vimeo, and the only microblogging service I can add is Twitter.

  • Notifications About New Features Should Be In WebOS!

    Palm,
    Please listen, we all love your updates especially when new features like contact addresses can be launched in Sprint Nav. And I know from listening and personally talking with Jon Rubinstein how much he cares about the customer experience. But most of your customers like my mom or sister wouldn't know that update 1.3.5 had this new feature. I personally knew about it's existence but had to search on how to toggle between the two.
    It's important you show off exciting new features and how to use them. My suggestion is to have pop-up tutorial after an update that says something like, "WebOS has just updated and there are new features on your phone now. Press here to learn about them." This would launch an animated guide. Otherwise the only way most people will find out about them will be by accident if at all.
    Please make this happen and thanks for all the great work.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I agree with you. A lot of easter egg features. I think some people like that, but for the common user who does not like searching for these hidden things It can hinder there experience. 
    I don't know if I would like the tutorial on the phone idea though. I mean in theory its nice, but those will add to the download time. And sometimes when those updates are released, they don't exactly come speeding fast regardless of wifi or not. 
    I think instead what would be nice, with the ability to watch flash in the web browser coming soon, maybe just include a link that pops up, or one you can click in the Update App that directs the browser to a flash showing the new features. Would not force everyone to download extra files, and have the option of viewing it from any PC if you want. 

  • How do I disable the new feature that disables outdated plugins unless they are clicked?

    I'm running Adobe Acrobat 8. I'm happy with it. Firefox has a new feature that automatically disables the PDF plugin unless it's clicked. It's called the "Click to Play" feature. Even when disabled, it's not really disabled: it activates itself for "vulnerable plugins." Though there is an option to make a website trusted for plugins, there is seemingly no way to make the PLUGIN ITSELF trusted. As a result, every time I get a PDF, I have to Click to Play.
    Question: How do I truly disable this stupid new feature?
    There is the following support article that explains this new system, and that the only solution is trust a website, but apparently can't disable the feature or trust the plugin:
    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins?esab=a&s=disable+click+to+play&r=13&as=s

    Does any one know if Apple is going to make the necessary changes to the new pages program so we can merge our contacts into a letter as before

    No.
    No more than anyone knew they were going to take away over 90 features.
    Have you tried using Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder?

  • Can't disable new feature "collectively trim and fade grouped clips"

    If somebody knows how to either disable this new functionality or override it with a keystroke please let me know.
    This new feature is great, except for that I can't trim grouped clips in multi-track view the old way (from version 2.0). You used to be able to adjust the boundary of a single clip in a group - now it adjusts the boundary of all clips in that group.
    This is a deal-breaker for me. :(

    Incidentally:
    >on a more generic note, I'm seeing changes like this more and more in the software industry. Developers haven't got a clue how people use their software. When it comes time for V.Next they seem to rather enjoy removing functionality just because they themselves don't use it.
    Adobe have very much been caught out by this in the past - which is why features that have been removed from Audition (eg the play list, and the whatever it was phase-shift function) have been put back, pretty much entirely due to end-user pressure. During development cycles, it's impossible to consult all of the end-users, although there are a couple of ways in which anybody can have a say - one is in the 'feature requests' forums, both here and at AudioMasters, and occasionally there's also the odd thread about specifics, which the developers also get to see.
    One of my own pet peeves about this isn't so much the features that get altered (I can cope with that), but the lack of pre-settable options available. There are lots that could easily be there, like the amount of dBs of 'dip' in the centre of stereo panning, and an option to have the 'Solo' buttons working correctly by default (which they don't at present, IMO). Generally it's a lot of these little things that make the difference, often more so than the big ones. People like to have software set up for their own particular convenience, and Adobe should take a
    careful note of that - I think it's more significant than they might realise.

  • How to a make a suggestion about new features i'd like to see in itunes

    how to a make a suggestion about new features i'd like to see in itunes?
    I can't find any link to do this. I found a page where you can request songs or an album to be added, but i can't find a page to submit my suggestions for itunes i have for new features i'd like to see

    As of now there is no good, direct link for feedback on iTunes itself. Writing Apple might be the best option, with the website feedback page perhaps the next best.
