Next Version

I just hope I can get the next version of Bridge before all the apps in the Creative Suite are updated. Bridge has great potential and could really be a great app. I hope it's upgrade path is a little faster that Photoshop. Frankly Photoshop is beginning to become a little overloaded with features.
I like the idea of Bridge a lot. It would be a great replacement for other browsers and some digital asset managers.

Will 2D objects in java.awt.geom.* be Serializable in next version of Java?

I am pretty frustrated about having to write my own Serializable classes. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but will the next version of Java supports Serializable 2D objects?
Further, I was trying to write my own class to extend java.awt.geom.GeneralPath to become Serializable, but it's declared "final". What should I do? (I had no problems with Rectangle2D.Double, Line2D.Double, etc.)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Selwyn

Your code for serializing the state of the General path forgets two things:
1. the winding rule
2. the segments types!
You could use a vector, but I just directly wrote to the file:
private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream oos) throws IOException
{     out.defaultWriteObject();
     //write state of transient GeneralPath _gp;
     out.writeInt(_gp.getWindingRule());
     float[] coord = new float[6];
     PathIterator i = _gp.getPathIterator(null);
     while(!i.isDone())
     {     int seg = i.currentSegment(coords);
          writeInt(seg);
          //switch on seg, writing correct # of floats from coords
          i.next();
     out.writeInt(-1);     //sentinel for end-of-data: SEG_LINETO etc are [0,4]
private void readObject(ObjectInputStream in)
throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
{     in.defaultReadObject();
     int rule = in.readInt();
     _gp = new GeneralPath(rule);
     //etc...
}3. I'm just winging this code -- haven't tested it

The Next Version of Premiere Pro CC - Warp Stabilizer

With the recent post of what's coming in the next version of PPro CC, I was sad to see no mention of Warp Stabilizer. As amazing of an effect as it is, it needs a bit of help. I know there are improvements and fixes that probably weren't mentioned in the post so I'm still holding out hope. We use Warp Stabilizer more than anyone I know. Several hundred times per week. Yes, per week, no exaggeration. Over the last few years, we've built an entire style of shooting around the strengths of this awesome effect that emulates the use of a slider, steadicam and crane all without having to have them. So we've become really familiar with its PROS and CONS.
Here is a short list of SEVEN things that should be addressed with regards to warp stabilizer within Premiere Pro CC to maximize its effectiveness (and yes we did submit multiple Feature Requests for these so far to no avail):
FIrst and foremost and by far MOST IMPORTANT to us - Allow users to create a CUSTOM PRESET with any altered settings that will engage (or begin Analyzing/Stabilizing) automatically when added to a clip!! This is huge. If you double click on Warp Stabilizer with a clip selected, it is applied to that clip and begins the process of stabilizing that clip. However, the vast majority of the time we need to alter the settings of the effect. If we create a custom preset, that's all fine and good, but when we add that to a clip, it does NOT begin stabilizing. Instead you have to manually go into the Effect Controls for each clip and select ANALYZE. Huge waste of time when adding this effect to hundreds of clips. PLEASE FIX!
BUG when saving projects!!! - If this is not a bug, it needs to be fixed because it's awful. - If you have more than one sequence with multiple warp stabilizations added and GPU ACCELERATION IS ENABLED, then after you SAVE a project (or if it auto-saves) when you toggle between the two sequences you are hit with a delay or freeze while the render bar goes from Yellow to Red...and finally back to yellow again. No work can be done during this delay/freeze. The more stabilized clips, the longer the delay. For us, on our larger projects this delay is sometimes 30 seconds to almost a full minute! Once it turns back to yellow, you can toggle between sequences without the delay...but as soon as it saves again...and you toggle between sequences, the delay hits again. If this is a bug, or somehow a result of Premiere Pro's way of CACHING projects after it's saved, then I sincerely hope it's fixed asap. It's awful!
The third is more of a feature request than a fix - Add the ability to set the maximum scale to work WITH the smoothness control so that if you never want your clips to scale more than say 105%, you can set that and have Warp Stabilizer stabilize the clip and adjust the "smoothness" percentage from the default "50%" down to whatever it needs to be in order for that clip to be fully stabilized and scaled to no more than 105%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not possible currently. Right now we have to manually adjust each clip if it is initially scaled too much by dropping down the Smoothness %.
Another great feature would be the ability to manually keyframe the scaling so that if you have a longer clip that starts fairly steady, then needs to be smoothed out a bit more in the middle, before it ends relatively steady again, you can slowly and seamlessly ramp up the stabilization/scaling so that the whole clip doesn't have to be scaled to make up for the misgivings of one portion of the clip.
Minor bug - sometimes when you have extended the length of a clip, the clip needs to be re-analyzed again. However, the "analyze" button is often greyed out. You need to click away from the clip and then click on the clip again to make that button appear again. Nothing big, but still, a small bug.
After Effects Warp Stablizer VFX feature carried over - It would be nice to carry over to Premiere the ability to isolate what in frame is supposed to be stable (sometimes someone nodding their head can trick the effect into thinking that it's the camera shaking). Great to have it in AE, but would be nice to carry over to Premiere Pro CC.
Finally, I've always believed that no matter how cool "Subspace Warp" sounds, it is not as effective as "Position, Scale & Rotation". This SHOULD be the deafult "method" within the Warp's settings. I'd say 95% of the thousands and thousands of clips we've stabilized we ended up switching the "Method" within the settings to "Position, Scale & Rotation" because it either scaled the shot less or created less "wobble" in the resulting stabilized clip. I know everyone shoots differently, and sometimes Subspace Warp is the way to go, but we have stabilized all sorts of shots with great success by simply switching this setting. Granted...if #1 on this list was taken care of we could then easily have this set as our default setting.
Hopefully this list either reaches someone within Adobe that can do something about them or at the very least inspires others to write feature requests and bug fixes as we have. Even resolving #1, #2 and #3 would be HUGE and would save our editors probably 10 hours per week. It's an awesome effect, far better than "smoothcam" on FCP7, it just needs a little love.

All good points, thanks for posting.
For #1, you can make this work in AE at least. This tip is from my colleague DanW:
If you make a preset by only selecting the values you change (and not a preset for the whole effect) then it will auto-analyze on apply.
Simplest way: apply WS, make edits, hit UU to reveal changed params, select all "i-beams" in the Timeline, drag them to the Effects & Presets panel.
For #4, you can get manual control over the scaling by setting Framing to Stabilize Only, and then keyframe Additional Scale to taste. At one point we were going to try to automate this, but found automatic scaling to be very subjective as to the best way to handle it.
For #6, Warp Stabilizer will not track areas with zero alpha channel. So you can pre-mask the input to reveal just the parts you want to stabilize. Do this inside a nested sequence, with Warp Stabilizer applied downstream (in the outer sequence). The just-announced masking & tracking capabilities of the next CC version should be handy for this.

Hi DaveS!
Great to hear that you guys are taking a look at this list. Hope it helps make it better. #1, #2, and #3 are by far the biggest time killers for us so hopefully they'll be able to be fixed/resolved within Premiere soon.
Regarding your note about #1: Allowing this functionality within Premiere specifically would be very helpful. Would it be possible to eventually allow Premiere to auto-analyze when a saved custom preset is applied to a clip? I tried it in AE as you suggested, and couldn't figure it out. But realistically we use Warp Stabilizer on so many clips that round tripping literally hundreds of short clips to AE would be just as time consuming as going into the settings in premiere for each one and adjusting the parameters. We usually adjust the method and then adjust the smoothness scale so that it doesn't "Auto-Scale" more than 104%. That's where our #3 suggestion would help. I didn't quite understand how to make a preset of specific changed values. I tried, but couldn't follow DanW's suggestion. Granted, I'm not that great with AE. I really just use it for the Warp VFX's ability to isolate what in frame is stabilized (hope that comes to Premiere one day) and that's about it. And I really only have to do that a couple times per project. Anyway, I'm sure I'm doing DanW's suggestions wrong but regardless, I'm not sure it would save us much time when we have several hundred individual little clips that would all need to be sent to AE. Any hope for adding this auto-analyze functionality (hopefully allowing a custom preset on the whole effect and all it's adjusted parameters) in Premiere CC?
Regarding your note about #4: That is a valid work around for now. I appreciate that thought. Thanks!
Regarding your note about #6: I think I half understand what you described. I'd have to try it. Although, as I said before, the AE way of doing it is ideal and I just hoped that ability to show the tracking points and delete them over time would come to Premiere CC one day. When the next CC comes out I'd love to try this masking method although I think I'll have to claify exactly what you want me to do just to be safe. Is there no hope to port this added functionality that's in AE's Warp VFX over to Premiere's Warp Stabilizer? Again, not the end of the world for us. I'd rather #1, #2 and #3 be addressed inside Premiere Pro CC for now.
Fixing the first 3 on this list would be HUGE time saver for us.
Thanks again DaveS to you and the rest of the Adobe team for looking into this list. Very much appreciated.

How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen so I can use a Logitech R800 presenter? An option in next version?

I have recently bought a Logitech R800 presenter which works very well with Keynote on a MacBook Pro. The start/stop presentation key does not work but that can be easily fixed by assigning F5 to "Start presentation" for Keynote in the keyboard system preferences. The remaining issue is that the blank screen button sends a period (".") which works as a prompt for a blank screen in PowerPoint, but in Keynote it causes the slideshow to end. Keynote uses the letter "B" for blank screen.
How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen? Some sort of work around would be very useful as I often use blank screen in my presentations and much prefer Keynote to PowerPoint.
Perhaps it will be an option in next version of Keynote?
Thanks

As far as I know you can not change these keystrokes without changing the Program files. I am sure it is possible there, but I have no idea where to even start to tell you where to find it.
Your best bet it to go to the Keynote Menu>Provide Keynote Feedback and let Apple know you would like the option to change them.

Message to RIM - wish list for next version

Hi
Just some thoughts based on a couple of days of use of a playbook that my IT folks lent me.
Firstly, hopefully RIM will realize that the only way this will take off is if Enterprise users really buy into it but the device lacks in certain areas if it is to be a WorkBook instead of a PlayBook (which other tablets do a better job at) as follows:
- no way to adjust font size or zoom in the Messages in the BlackBerry bridge - if the higher ups in corporate can't read their messages, they won't buy.
- even though typing e-mails show you spelling errors w a red underline - there is no way to correct, while in your BBerry, you can call up spelling correction options. (The same for the other bridge apps, like memos etc, as well).
- very difficult to edit messages, the touch screen is not sensitive enough so its difficult to place the cursor to exactly to the point you need it in text you have already typed. Suggest an optical track ball (similar to the ones in the 9700s) or a stylus be incorporated into the next version.
- even if you are able to get the cursor to the spot you want it in a draft e-mail/memos you can't highlight to cut or copy text to other parts of the e-mail/memo draft.
- can't view attachments that are part of the calendar entries - but you can on the BBerry itself.
Think that's it after 2 days of using. Needless to say, am disappointed as the PlayBook doesn't increase productivity and is lacking in key areas that are part of what makes BBerry a strong product. I wouldn't buy with my personal funds and think the corporate will not roll out as aggressively as it could the cost/benefit is currently not there.
Let's see what future software/hardware upgrades bring.
Cheers to all.

Ooh, InPage! I'm so glad that I don't have to work in InPage anymore.
However, that feature that you're looking for was actually a good one. It won't do you any good to ask for it here, though; you want to go straight to WinSoft. They make the ME edition, not Adobe.
However: World Tools suite from in-tools.com has the feature "Apply Latin Character Style" which does what you want, more or less. The main paragraph style would be an Urdu RTL style, unlike your InPage example. Unfortunately, going in "the other direction" World Tools only has "apply Hebrew character style." It's still worth a look for you, I think.

N95-1 ,WHEN WILL THE NEXT VERSION AFTER THE V21.0....

If u all hav upgrade yr N95-1 to V21.0.016 & format yr Nokia 1GB micro sd card & start to use it fr fresh download of files ( without restore setting, bookmark & user files) , that is fine , phone system is fast & good...but...but if u hav bac up a copy of phone user files, setting & book mark & after upgrade ,u restore u will suffering system crash with yr restored data..., phone seem like forever cannot boot up & very very slow response ...now i am the victim , every time i off my phone, i hav to take out memory card only can start my N95-1 smoothly, then only i put in by way of "hotswap" into the memory card into the phone....this is crazy job !!! but i really don want to lose all my valuable & paid money to buy the mp3, mv, themes, wallpaper & other stuffs if i do not retore them....NOKIA, DON U NOTICE THIS BIG PROBLEM ? I URGE NOKIA TO COME OUT NEXT VERSION TO SOLVE OUT THIS

I also have an N95-1 with firmware v21.0.016, and the 8GB card in it has about 3GB of stuff on it.
Yes, it did take a while to boot and become responsive the first time I powered it up after the upgrade, but that was a once-off. Let it do its work and things will be okay.
Alternatively, you might have a faulty memory card.

Can the lumia 525 be updated to next version of windows (probably 8.1) ? When the phone will be launched in india?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As that software update hasn't even been officially announced yet it's impossible to say with any certainty. It is expected it will be compatible with all current WP8 devices but only Microsoft can say that for sure.
You will need to contact Nokia India directly or retailers in India to find out when they expect to be selling it.

Sneak peek: the next version of DW

Alejandro Guttierez shows off one of the main new features in the next version of Dreamweaver.
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/04/nextgendreamweaver.html
By the way, if you plan to attend Adobe MAX, I am presenting a 90-minute hands-on lab diving into the detail of how to use the new CSS Designer panel. The lab will be presented twice at 2.45pm on Monday, 6 May, and at 11am on Wednesday, 8 May.
The blog post also confirms what I have suspected for a long time: server behaviors will be removed from the next version. They'll still be available as an extension, so existing users aren't left in the lurch. But the message is clear: start thinking of alternatives.

David_Powers wrote:
osgood_ wrote:
Just removing the server behaviours without replacing them with something more up-to-date its NOT very forward thinking of Adobe. The server behaviours IS or WAS a massive reason to use Dreamweaver.
I have no idea whether Adobe plans to replace server behaviors with something more up to date. What I do know is that the forum dedicated to developing server-side applications in Dreamweaver has become less and less active in the past year or so. Maybe that's because people who don't want to write their own code rely on the more sophisticated offerings of extension developers, such as WebAssist and DMX Zone, who have their own forums. However, if I used those extensions my main concern would be that, as far as I know, they're dependent on the deprecated mysql functions.
Working with a database doesn't necessarily involve writing a lot of code. There are several powerful PHP frameworks, all of them free, that do all the hard lifting for you. When I wrote Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source, only one chapter was devoted to using server behaviors. The book was published by Adobe Press, and with Adobe's full knowledge and approval, it concentrated on using Zend Framework 1. It also showed how to use WordPress in Dreamweaver. I think the rise of WordPress played a similar role in the fate of server behaviors as jQuery played in the decision to cease investing in Spry.
If WordPress is too much like a sledgehammer, an alternative is Perch. It's not free, and it requires a separate licence for each website, but it has an excellent reputation. It's developed and maintained by Drew McLellan and his wife, Rachel Andrew, two very talented web developers (they're Brits, too). I don't have any affiliation with them. I've just heard lots of good things about them and Perch.
Sure David I hear what you're saying BUT Wordpress is too clumsy for the client to use simply. It's far too easy to add a myriad of extentions which could break the website design. Every time Wordpress is released you need to upgrade with it. It has security risks as far as I know. It's certainly not soemthing that I would touch after having given it a run out, several times. The whole package is really messy in my view and you're less in control of the process. Coding is King.
Yes, Perch is much better and simpler but is still quite restrictive, I've used that too. I've just finished a website which as far as I'm concerned required a bespoke CMS. Not only that if you write the code, or most of it, you have full control and knowledge in the event of something which stops working......at least I have a chance of sorting out the problem them. Totally relying on 3rd party products or extentions you have zero chance UNLESS you're some kind of code wizard which you arent going to be if youre using Wordpress or Perch.
I think the reason why there is less and less activity in the forum you mentioned is that many have moved away from using the DW server behaviours (php is the most popular server language by far) BUT Adobe have sat on their backside and missed the boat prefering to concentrate on rather lame updates.
I'm sure your right about WebAssist and DMX Zone whose extention MUST be compatibale with the Dreamweaver ones. I guess its over to them to come up with something that replaces the ones in Adobe as they themselves are highly unlikley to do it themselves.
For me its a question of I have now got to go and learn some of the new sqli which on the outset seems a lot more streamlined than the functional crap DW was writting anyway.

Release date for next version of Forms?

Has anyone heard of a release date for the next version of Forms (10.1.2.0.2 or whatever it will be)? I may be starting a major Forms project shortly and I'd like to use the most current version of Forms with the current Application Server.

We are looking at mid summer this year. Depending on your start times it may be as well starting on 10g (9.0.4) as there is a long support cycle for it.

My WishList of features for next Version

Hi Team,
As Developer I really love Catalyst,It does complete my FlashBuilder development experience all the way, but still I would like to share some of my wishes on features that could be nice to have for next Version:
1) Build but dont automatically open new Browser, (currently everytime I want to test a change I have to ctr+enter it and it opens new instance of IE, even though url is the same, would be nice just to build it and I could refresh my IE (saves some memory on IE instances) or maybe there is already a way to do it?
2) ability to copy some Layers from one Buttons state to another buttons state, for example I designed a button component and now I want to copy some of the
layers to Toggle button component.
the way I did it was following
I copied my finished button and then I right clicked and selected "Revert Component to Artwork" and then I selected all artwork parts and did convert to component -> toggle button, but this way it only copied layers that I have initially creted for the button and not the layers that I have added in buttons over state.
thats it so far, everyhing else seems great.

You're welcome.
It will certainly be interesting to that device if it included all that hardware, and options.

Next version drops Layout Mode?

I read this from a link posted on the NAPP forums. Adobe
plans to drop many current features of Dreamweaver in the next
update including Layout Mode. I'm not an HTML "coder". I have two
simple web pages that I maintain and rely on WYSIWYG to format
them. I can't believe Adobe would do away with this ability. If I
wanted to hand code pages, I'd get a book, learn HTML and use
BBEdit!
There are a number of features being discontinued in the next
version. I'm a novice and have no clue what many of them are or
what they do, so you might want to check the list for yourself
Here's
The Link
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...2489&sliceId=1
Appears the link no longer works. It does not work from the
original posting on NAPP either. What's up Adobe?

I'll sleep easy at night knowing all you Webmaster mavens and
code heads look forward to the changes. Hey, what do I know. I'm
just a graphic designer, prepress type who, quite honestly, has no
desire to learn HTML.
I have two web sites that I maintain. One personal (family
photos, recipes, news etc.) the other for a local charitable club.
They are very simple sites that I put up
YEARS ago when the first edition of PageMill was offered. And
(gasp) they both use frames! Neither us CSS style sheets (shame on
me), because I just want to get in, make a couple changes and get
out and I don't want to expand my knowledge much since I don't
foresee adding "features" to either of my sites.
I "upgraded" to GoLive at the announcement of the funeral for
PageMill. Besides, I was purchasing the CS and GL came with the
box. But, with Adobe's purchase of Macro Media, I could see that DW
would soon be king of the mountain and the possible demise of GL,
so when upgrading to CS3, I got the Premium package that included
DW and ported my pages over from GL.
I had no idea what a Div Tag was, really still don't fully
comprehend, I just know that they were "present" when I started
using CS DW. It didn't take me long to figure out they were kinda
like "frames" in Quark or InDesign. Kinda neat, you could put them
anywhere on the "page" and insert just about anything (text,

DOOZA is close to summing up Adobe's marketing scheme, but I
don't think they are deceptive in fooling..."people into thinking
Dreamweaver is the perfect choice for someone who is not willing to
learn. They fool them into
thinking Dreamweaver will do all the hard work for them."
It's a matter of learning what you need to know to get the job
done. I don't care if my "code is sloppy", or the page takes a
micro second longer to open because I didn't use CSS styles, or
that the upload files are 80K bigger than they need to be because
of all the extra tags.
I'm sure there are many, like me, who don't ever want to have
to look at a page in code view, could care less what goes on
"behind the scenes" as long as we get the information out there.
That's not Adobe's fault. And I don't mind being considered an
"amature" compared to the Web Wizards. You can't say that's any
worse than someone using MS Word as a Page Layout program if it's
serving the purpose to make simple flier for the copy machine.
They'll call a printer when they want a trifold four color
brochure, just as I would hire one of you "pros" if I wanted a web
store front with shopping cards and security features.

A big wish for next version iPad - usb external hard drive connection

Can we ask that Apple consider putting a USB connection on the next version of iPad for those who want to use an external hard drive for storing images? When traveling some of us have too many images for the iPad storage and want to archive the RAW versions as well as see what we shot. This USB addition would be perfect for using for this and other applications. It would make the iPad perfect.

Ok, the idea for my request is I teach study abroad classes in photography. We do on the road critiques of the work. If the students stored all their images on those portable hard drives like the wolverine that would allow them to download onto them, they could just show them on the ipad, a much cheaper solution than the air that I would bring along. It's not about storage really when the images are not my own, but I would not store them there anyway like I don't store them on my macbook pro or my desktop but on archive external hard drives. When you shoot over 2000 raw and jpg images on one of these trips, you have to use external hard drives. The Air is gorgeous but I can get 2 ipads for the price of one air at the lower end. I am just really trying to find a way for the students not to have to bring so much equipment along. We have a trip planned to India in another year with them. Money will be an issue for them. I have taught university level photography for 36 years. I know about processing and we use lightroom for our classes. I really did not want to give the whole story just ask for the usb connector so we could see images from hard drives. That's all.

Wish list in next version: Curves. It's Missing.

Hello,
I purchased Aperture and like many attributes of the software. Great job! I would like to see Curves in the next version. I know I can go to adjust in Curves in Photoshop, but that will covert the RAW image into a .tif or .psd which takes up more space. Why not just have Curves in Aperture?
Great job with Highlight recovery and shadow recovery. Especially Highlight recovery which gives a pleasing feel of tone to an image that just clipped the highlight detail! Didn't get that pleasing subtle tone in Lightroom.

I never cared for the Curves UI in PS. I'm also not thrilled with the Levels UI in Aperture. You can certainly get good work done with both styles but for me, and this is subjective, neither is a particularly elegant solution.
I'll preface this next statement with the fact that I own Aperture, and I DON'T own Adobe's Lightroom. I've recently had the opportunity to play a bit with LR, and the Tone Curve UI (Curves/Levels) is a joy to use. It's very intuitive, powerful and there are a number of ways to make your adjustments. The UI just gets out of your way, and you can focus in on the results. It is, IMO, a superb tool for refining tones in an image. I would love to see Aperture develop an interface for Levels that was more like the Tone Curves interface in LR.
