Placing features

1) I'd like to be able to place all file types inside rectangles. IE, when you select a rectangle and hit place and select a JPG, it is put inside the rectangle, this is not standard behavior, snippets and InDesign documents cannot be placed in the same manner without extra steps.
2) Placing editable INDD files. Would like to be able to place an INDD so that it's editable in document.
3) Why can we place INDD files but not IDML?
4) Scripting: Would like to be able to move a group of objects (or single object) inside a rectangle without having to resort to app.cut() and app.pasteInto().
5) Option to turn off all recovery features.

you are correct by stating that the file will open, but if you go to document setup and then go to edit art boards you can see that the image size is actually much smaller than the original that you created. this is a major bug as i create a lot of my dynamic backgrounds in photoshop and then place them in illustrator to do my typography. i have been using photoshop and illustrator for over 15 years so i can not see them deleting this feature or overlooking the fact that it does not work, but then again who knows!!! they did in fact delete the AOM from Bridge which was the one main feature that i used and loved about the program. for products with this price range i can not see why they would delete such a vital feature to the program.
again just looking for a solution and i appreciate your quick response to this. hopefully we will start something that adobe will actually see and help us out with. it has slowed my production within the programs down to a sluggish crawl

I am having an issue regarding a placed order via customer service department

I recently relocated to Anchorage Alaska as part of a permanent change of station per the United States Air Force. I was initially located on the East Coast in the lower 48 and at the time of activating my contract I had purchased two separate Iphone 4 devices. I also recently went in to a store in February to purchase a Nexus 7 as well.
Upon arrival in Anchorage I had multiple issues regarding the Iphone 4 devices including being unable to send and receive text messages & imessages, unable to make phone calls, dropped phone calls, unable to utilize GPS, as well as not being able to access general account information and use anything related to web browsing or data usage. It was determined that because the Iphone 4 operates on the 3g network and Verizon does not have a 3g network in Alaska, as a result I was utilizing an extended service network from another carrier. As a result of this I am only able to use my Iphone 4 devices while connected to my wi-fi network while within my home, which is totally unacceptable.
I was not made aware that I would be dealing with this when I moved to Alaska and inquired as the the use of the devices I currently owned prior to purchasing the tablet. I was assured by three separate store employees one of which being a manager that all devices would function at 100% efficiency including the Iphone 4s. In fact I was recently billed 350$ for roaming charges last month, which prompted me to speak with a representative via the online chat regarding the significant increase she said that she was unable to process any sort of credit to the account regardless of what I had been told at a local Verizon store where I purchased the tablet.
As a result of all of these mishaps since arriving here in Alaska I determined I was in need of newer devices that utilize the 4G LTE network currently provided by Verizon in Alaska. I know for a fact that the 4G LTE works great up here because my Nexus 7 tablet runs flawlessly and does not incur roaming charges when utilizing the 4G LTE network.
Yesterday I attempted to contact Verizon through the live chat feature regarding upgrading two of the devices on my account. The live chat representative immediately asked me when my upgrade date was. Upon telling her my upgrade date 9/29/2014 she told me I should contact the customer service department as I might be eligible for an early upgrade. I then proceeded to contact the customer service department using my Iphone 4.
My attempt to speak to anyone in the customer service department resulted in a merry-go-round of being put on hold 6 separate times by two different employees, both of which had me wait for more than an hour while they attempted to speak to a manager to gain approval for an early upgrade. The first rep seemed almost sure she would be able to have my devices upgraded early especially considering the issues I was having regarding service.
The second rep seemed newer and was very dodgy about my questions and was very unwilling to help at first. He even mentioned that I had been a Verizon customer for almost two years, had never missed a single payment and had outstanding account history which should have garnered some sort of importance to the level of my request. But I digress, during this time I was disconnected from the call twice from each separate representative.
Both reps assured me they would call me back, I never did get a call back from either one of those reps and I was becoming very frustrated having waited four hours trying to find some sort of solution to my current predicament.
After waiting an hour for the second representative to call back I grew impatient and contacted the customer service department, was put on hold again, and finally reached a third customer service representative who was able to provide a solution for me.
I explained everything I had been dealing with to Cory ID # V0PAC61, both regarding the phones, the issue of the level of service I was receiving, the dire need for working devices and the multiple times I had been disconnected. I explained to him as a result of these issues I was certainly considering switching to a different provider, a local provider even who could provide me the adequate service that I require for my mobile devices.
I explained to Cory that I had been with Verizon for almost two years, and I had been on a relatives account prior to owning my own Verizon account and had never received this kind of treatment when trying to work towards a simple solution. Cory proceeded to tell me he needed to put me on hold to see if there was anything that could be done regarding the upgrades of the device considering all of the trouble I had been dealing with.
After Cory reconnected with me in the phone call he was able to successfully reach a solution by allowing me to upgrade my devices. We conversed about the options available and I eventually decided to upgrade both Iphone 4 devices to Moto X devices as we determined those would be sufficient for my needs while in Alaska. I also proceeded to add two Otter Box Defender cases to the order so that the devices would have sufficient protection. Cory inquired as to whether or not I would like to purchase insurance for the phones as well and I opted for the $5.00 monthly insurance which including damage and water protection.
Cory explained to me the grand total for the devices which included an activation fee of $35.00 for each device, $49.99 for each Otter Box case, and an additional $50.00 for each device which would be refunded as a rebate upon receipt of the devices and activation, a rebate that I would be required to submit. Cory explained to me that the devices would most likely arrive Tuesday of 6/17 and no later than Wednesday 6/18.
Cory took my shipping information and told me everything was all set and the only thing left to do was to transfer me to the automated service so that I could accept the 2 year agreement for both devices. I thanked him very much, took his name and ID# so that I might leave positive feedback about his exemplary customer service and was then transferred to the automated service.
Once transferred to the automated service I was then prompted to enter both telephone numbers for the devices that would be upgraded, I was then required to accept the new 2 year agreement for both devices and after doing so I was required to end the call. I did so in an orderly fashion and expected a confirmation # to arrive in my email regarding the placed order.
I have never received a confirmation email. I decided to sleep on it and assumed a confirmation email would be sent sometime tomorrow. Nothing has since been received however. I woke up early this morning around 6AM Alaska time to speak to another live chat representative, Bryan, in the billing department who assured me the order was currently processing and verified the order #. I asked him whether or not it was typical for a customer to not receive a confirmation email for an order placed and he said it can sometimes take up to 2-3 business days. He then stated that he had taken note of the issues I was experiencing and told me he would transfer me to the sales department as they would be able to provide more information regarding the shipment of both devices and a confirmation email, as he stated he did not want me to have to wait any longer than necessary to receive said devices.
I was then transferred to Devon in the sales department via the live chat service where I was then required to repeat everything I had said to both Bryan and the other representatives I had spoken too. After a lengthy discussion and repeating everything I have just wrote he told me the order was indeed processing and that he would send a confirmation email in the next 30 minutes.
That was 2 hours ago. It is now 8am Alaska time and I still have not received a confirmation email regarding my order. I was sent an email by Verizon an hour ago stating I had a device to "discover". The email contained no information regarding the shipment of my device, the order confirmation number, or anything regarding my account. The email I received was a typical spam email asking an individual to check out the current available phones and sign up for a new contract.
All I want is a confirmation email to assure that the devices are being sent. I need my phone for work and to communicate with my family in the lower 48. I desperately need to make sure that the device is in fact being sent to the proper address, this is why a confirmation email of the order is so important. I do not care about the shipping speed I just want what I ask to be taken care of for a change. I would hate to sit here unable to determine what the status of my devices are only for the order to be stuck in "processing" limbo and be unable to receive the devices when I was told they would be sent.
I feel I have been given the run around treatment way more than is typically given with any company when an individual is trying to work towards a solution. I have been patient and cordial with everyone I have spoken with, I have not raised my voice or shown stress or anger towards the situation I have only tried my best to work towards a solution with anyone I have spoken too but I am becoming increasingly frustrated with this situation.
Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. This situation has left a sour taste in my mouth and if the devices were indeed not actually processed in an order, or they were not shipped correctly, or in fact if the order had never existed at all it will only deter me from keeping my Verizon account active and affect my decision to switch to another provider.

Hello APVzW, we absolutely want the best path to resolution. My apologies for multiple attempts of replacing the device. We'd like to verify the order information and see if we can locate the tracking number. Please send a direct message with the order number so we can dive deeper. Here's steps to send a direct message: http://vz.to/1b8XnPy We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Unable to use the focus feature on a field

hi,
I have the need to manipulate the focus event of a field. This is my pdf body structure :
form1 ----> form
|_ a ----> page
|_b ----> textfield
|_c ----> textfield
The idea is to test if the user pressed the key "ESC", "TAB" or "ENTER" when exiting from field "b". If so, and after testing the content of the field, i wanted to set the focus on that same field "b" to let the user proceed with the correction.
I tried with the "xfa.event.commitKey" to see if the "ESC", "TAB" or "ENTER" keys where pressed while exiting the field. I then redirected the focus to different fields named "ESC", "TAB" and "ENTER" just to be sure that i was getting the correct keys.
This feature works if i set the focus in a different field than the one i'm exiting.
Then, i tried a different approach. On the exit event of the field, i placed the following code :
app.setTimeOut("this.getField('form1[0].a[0].b[0]').setFocus()", 1000);
This would do the same as the setFocus after a while.
For what i could see, catching the events with the "xfa.event.commitKey" for the "ESC", "TAB" or "ENTER" key works alright. The problem is to set the focus to the current field ( the one where the exit event is being analyzed ). However, if i change the destination field to any other field on the form, all the scripts work.
Following the structure that i have on top, it the exit event is being analyzed on field "b" and the "setFocus" or the "app.setTimeOut" scripts indicate field "b" as destination, it doesn't work.
If i change the destination field to be "c", all the scripts work as expected. It seems like there is a problem with setting the focus on the field that i'm exiting from.
Any ideas on this ???
Thanks.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I'm urgently trying to find a workaround, but nothing seems to work.
The focus on the current field works in acrobat reader versions above 8.0, but in 8.0 it just doesn''t work...
To reiterate:
On the exit event of a textbox I need to display a validation message if a certain condition is met. I then need to refocus on the same textbox after the "ok" button is clicked in the validation warning.
My setFocus code is correct, but it just doesn't work in 8.0.
Thoughts?

Feature Request: Timelines in Event Folder

Hi,
Final Cut X is an awesome video editing program - great job with all of the updates you've been pushing out!!
There's something that I would love to see in Final Cut Pro X that would enhance the editors ability to organize. I'd love to see timelines in the Event folder - like the title says. I know that the creators of FCPX initially allowed the seperation of Events and Timelines to give editors access to all of their media at all times - and I am thankful that they are continually thinking out of the box to give us this kind of functionality. But after it was released, I'd like to know if editors wound up using that functionality - that's not a rhetorical question, I'd really like to know. Do they take footage from one movie shoot and use it in a different movie? Do they take graphics for one commercial and use it in another? If it's a consumer making a family vacation DVD, do they take shots from one trip and use it in another? I definitely think it was an innovative idea, but it didn't wind up adding functionality that we use very often, and it wound up introducing complexity to the organization process. The way timelines currently work, I have to export the entire sequence - I can't have version 1 of my video at the beginning of the timeline and version 2 at the end. I have to create two, three, four seperate timelines. I can't use keywords to make the different versions. I also can't have 2 different commercials on the same timeline. I would love to one day be able to open up the Event window, choose my event, and see all of my related timelines there, all my footage, all my graphics, and even all my Motion files (because right now, I have to create my Motion files as templates and organize those in a seperate template window.) It would be great to hit a little plus sign in my Event and create another timeline. But right now, I start getting stressed when I have more than 10 projects in Final Cut... and I have about 30 and counting. It also takes 2 to 3 times longer to delete my old projects because they're in three different windows, and I have to remember how I made them. It may sound like a small issue, but I think Final Cut is good at eliminating the small problems in an editor's day to day workflow. It would also consolidate all of the project's data into one folder on my hard drive. And the great part is, editors would still have all of the same functionality that you originally envisioned, being able to access all of their media in any timeline - because the Event window is still there, and as accessible as ever. Allowing timelines to be placed in an Event, along with Motion files, would allow an increased level of organizational optimization that would give editors the freedom to think less about saving their work and more about creating it. Lemme know if you have any thoughts, too!
- David

Okay, that's a good thing. I just tried it out, and this is what happened. I made a selection of the area I wanted to export, turned it into a compound clip, and copied it. Then, in the project list, created a new project that will adjust it's frame size automatically, pasted it, then export. That definitely is a way to put different videos in the same timeline. Nice workaround, thank you Tom!
But, even though this answers one of my questions (thanks Tom), I still have a bunch more that I want Apple to consider. First of all, this doesn't answer the questions about organization.. or Motion. I would still like to be able to organize my projects in a more conducive environment. If I could see my timelines in the Event pane, I could utilize all of FCPX's awesome export features in one click, the way FCPX intended.

Adobe Muse: where it must be placed .oam file via FTP???

I don't use Catalyst or other Adobe devices to publish my Muse sites, but I prefere to use FTP and add any file to respective folder.
Now I built an animation with Edge and I have correctly obtained an .oam file.
I tried to follow instructions but I'm not able to obtain any result.
Note that when I try the site in local the animation works correctly.
After that I tried to place namefile.html in html folder, namefile.css in css folder and namefile.oam in image folder and it does'nt work.
I tried to create in the main root a new folder with this path:
/assets/namefile/namefile.html
and the result becomes better because now the frame of the documents appears correctly, but instead of the animation it appears an error alert.
So I suppose that the problem is: where exactly it must be placed the .oam file?
I didn't find any suggestion on the various forums.
Please can you help us?
Regards
Lorenzo

Hello, thank for the time you have dedicated to my question.
In any case I want to explain better the sense of it, regarding to the use of MUSE we are doing, that can maybe interest other users.
We are using MUSE to produce a Ipad/Android digital magazine. We find very helpful MUSE and EDGE to make interactive and multimedial magazines and in the past 6 months we experienced many advanced solutions. We developed a low cost Ipad APP and Android App, fully customizable from users, that are now able to manage a HTML5 source coming from MUSE/EDGE.
Everything works perfectly but, unfortunately, MUSE is not born for magazines but for sites so it does'nt hold some essential features needed for digital publishing.So we have to correct manually some lines in any .css and sometimes add something in html file. Due to this inconvenient we must finish any page, export the relative HTML and, after that, upload it singularly together with css, also because if we should upload the whole site every time we make a change the new re-generation would cover the corrected files.
That's why I ask you the exact path for the folder asset and the other generated file and I can't use the automatic .oam system.
In any case we have found a provisional solution:
1. we placed the folder "assets" in the main root, together the html file, the css folder and the image folder.
2. We created inside this assets folder a sub folder for the specific animation, naming (for instance "xxx").
3. Inside xxx we placed:
folder "edge includes"
folder "images"
file "animation1.html"
file "animation1_edge.js"
file "animation1_edgeActions.js"
file "animation1_edgePreload.js"
4. In the Muse html file that hosts the animation we used the box "insert HTML" and we wrote the following code:
<iframe src="assets/xxx/animation1.html" width="1024" height="768"></iframe>
If you have a better way to do that, please let us know.
In any case you can see the preview of the digital magazine at the following URL
www.piu39magazine.it
and you can see the result of the animation at the URL:
http://www.piu39magazine.it/vignetta.html
The main advantage of this solution is that a Ipad/Android magazine can be viewed in the same interactive, graphic and multimedial way also in the web, taking advantage of the touch screen in the new forthcoming Hybrids under Windows 8.
Hoping this experience can be useful for other Muse users.
Best regards

Visual Studio Adding Controls to Full-Featured

I am trying to modify the Full-Featured GUI - the C++ Using MFC version- in Visual Studio 2010 but nothing I do to the resource file seems to "take".
I went through and added a TestStand ActiveX Listbox along with a standard button and listbox. While I can see my changes when I test the dialog box (see attached), when I actually run the application (either in VS 2010 or outside of it) it's like I didn't make a change at all (see attached).
Any ideas as to what's going on here?

UI_Test_Dialog.gif ‏65 KB

Nevermind. I got it.
I'm used to just placing the controls and running in in older versions of Visual Studio. VS 2010 is new to me so I figured I was doing something wrong. It took me a while to figure out that these GUI samples size/move the controls programatically.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers. It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro. When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device. I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer. Any ideas?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

How do I stop firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a textbox?

How do I stop Firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a text box? On certain pages such as Google.com the cursor will be moved to the search text box automatically after a couple seconds from the page loading. So I'll be typing in the address bar or something and then half of what I am typing in the address bar becomes cut off and starts being entered in the Google.com text box for search. The same happens on Facebook.com and the cursor is automatically moved to the Status Update text box. I assume this is a built in "feature" of the web page, but it's damn annoying. Especially when I start typing in my status update box on Facebook before the page completely loads and then halfway through typing (once the page is done loading) my cursor is moved to the starting position of the text area and my text is cut off.
Just the be clear the actual mouse pointer isn't being moved, just the prompt for entering text.
How can this be stopped?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started since I can remember

This problem has grown worse over the last couple of years. I use Firefox on Mac and Windows. I consider this problem to be a bug. Here's why: Event Driven interfaces, e.g., OSX and Windows, are never supposed to change typing-cursor focus WHILE SOMEONE'S TYPING!!!
Firefox allows websites to change focus WHILE USERS TYPE!
Hey, sorry for the caps, but I haven't used those for awhile and that's kind of fun. But really, more and more websites steal typing-cursor focus WHILE USERS TYPE.
Efff them, but really, Eff Firefox for allowing this.
It's almost like a symptom of our hyper scattered age where our attention jumps here and there.
But really... I love Firefox, some of my best friends are Firefox, they're good people, don't get me wrong, but damn it, WHEN SOMEONE IS TYPING THE UNASSAILABLE RULE OF EVENT DRIVEN DESIGN IS NOTHING ELSE SHOULD CHANGE FOCUS WHILE SOMEONE IS TYPING!!!!
FIX THIS PLEASE.
Oh, I just ran out of capital letters. :) :) :)

Captivate 6 | A dozen or more bugs here or just strange "undocumentated features"

These are issues / bugs or bizarre nehaviours - some of them may be down to newbiew issues, but not many, read on if you dare...
Setup
MacBook Pro 17
Adobe Captivate 6.0.1.240
Firefox 19 (also Safari 6.0.2 and Chrome 24.0.1.1312.57 (but as you will see below there is no way to Tell Captivate these browsers exist and are installed)
Flashplayer 10.0.2.54 - but I have no interest in flash and all the testing has been eithe pure HTML or HTML5
Here we go...
The disabled / crippled close minimise buttons of the MAC OS do not follow the correct convention and therefore confusing unnecessarily to new users. (Conventions are there for a reason)
Inserting fully www3 compliant animated gifs, results in gifs that don't animate] EVEN in browser preview. This is incredibly bad for web based previews.
GIF images scale down very poorly (ending up jagged) - even with modest scale down
The "click Y or click anywhere doesn't work" typing Y does not work (probably because the Get_focus property for the active preview has been lost by the program)
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't
Slide master is confusing, with inserted graphics only appearing on some slides in the "film strip" thus it is simpler to ignore slid masters and add images directly to the individual actual slides
The placing of A), B) C) etc seems to result in them being buried under radio buttons if the project size is at or below about 350px width. Even above this it does not seem possible to either remove them (as they still are placed clumsily) or move them to the correct position (it is almost as if the text settings (properties) of multiple quo ice answer bullet points is not getting applied to the A), B) C) etc labels, just the text
Is the JS created unique to the project ? If so does this mean that in Moodle (for example) the header has to get stuffed with a JS file for every quiz instead of calling a standard library lie jQuery?
The placing of the (quiz review) red cross and the green ticks is all over the place and the sizes are very inconsistent (creating something of a real layout mess) - sometimes the same buttons just don't even show up?
Publshing the project into a neat folder seems to result in dozens of unused images (e.g. arrows and blue circles) being copied into the folder?
The publish tools complains about certain browsers e.g. Firefox latest version but does not state what elements are at fault in the project - leaving you to guess if there really is an incompatible component or whether all of those pre-check tick boxes in the audio, video preferences of Captivate are to blame. There is no indicator of graceful degradation of features
I have been unable to find anywhere the setting that allows me to choose the browser to test this on - since it complains that the latest firefox is no good. Any suggestions? Its not in preferences nor publish - both places where users would have looked.
Has anyone put a Captivate quiz into Moodle and knows where all the hundreds of files and folders from a Captivate project must go?

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks
Sharon

New features in Adobe Muse 2.0

The following is a list of features now available in Adobe Muse:
Align Palette
We've added a new Align Palette, available from the Window menu, or by clicking on the new 'Align' control in the control strip.
You can use the new Align features to align or distribute selected objects relative to each other, or to the page content area (which is the area from the bottom of the header to the top of the footer).
Asset Upload
You can now link to any external file (i.e. PDF, .zip file, .dmg or .exe) and add a hyperlink to it to enable users to download the file from your web site.
All linked assets will be uploaded / exported along with the rest of the Adobe Muse site, in a new 'assets' folder.
Code Generation Improvements
We've improved the HTML code generation for Adobe Muse 2.0 in several areas. Shadows, Glows, and Gradients now use CSS instead of generating additional images.
We've eliminated many cases where we generated duplicated HTML nodes. We've also changed our JavaScript framework for our widgets from Spry to a smaller, faster framework called WebPro.
These changes make the export process faster, and Adobe Muse now generates less images and smaller HTML files.
Shadows and outer glows are represented using CSS box-shadows instead of rasterizing.
Fixed the naming of images exported by Adobe Muse which have been either resampled or cropped before exporting.
Background images that have been set to "Scale to Fit" or "Scale to Fill" are now exported with the 'contain' or 'cover' background-size CSS property, respectively.
Browsers display a warning when you serve a page that mixes HTTP and HTTPS content, which can be triggered if loading content from a content delivery network (CDN) such as Amazon's CloudFront. To avoid these warnings, Adobe Muse uses some JavaScript to not use CDN URLs with HTTPS in favor of falling back to a local version of the content.
Forms
We've added a new Form widget to the widget library.
You can easily configure the form to send the form submissions to multiple email addresses, and optionally redirect users to another page after submitting the form.
You can add and remove fields, and style the form as you would other Adobe Muse elements. You can independently style the various states of the form, and form fields to provide a compelling user experience, with visual cues for error states, empty states, and more.
Because Form processing requires server-side support, Adobe Muse forms are configured to work when published to Adobe Business Catalyst. If you make changes to your form and publish again, Adobe Muse will make the appropriate changes to your Adobe Business Catalyst forms.
Adobe Muse will safeguard data when redesigning your Adobe Business Catalyst forms
If a field with no data submitted is removed, it will be deleted from the database.
If a field that has submitted data is removed, it will be preserved in the database, but can be deleted from the Adobe Business Catalyst admin console if desired.
Font Improvements
The font UI includes font previews in the form of sample text rendered in the corresponding font/weight/style.
Submenus for the various font types (web, web-safe and system) have been eliminated in favor of a single sectioned list, with shortcuts to scroll to each section.
Web fonts and system fonts are grouped by font family; individual weights and styles (e.g. Bold, Italic, Bold Italic etc.) of multi-face font families appear in sub-menus.
The font UI displays an automatically generated list of recently used fonts. The number of recently used fonts to display can be configured and list can be cleared.
The font list can be filtered by font family (e.g. “Myriad Pro”), weight or style (e.g. “Bold Italic”), a combination of these (e.g., “Myriad Pro Bold Italic”), including partial names in any order (e.g., “It Bold Myr Pro”).
Adobe Muse now uses platform-independent references to fonts, so Adobe Muse documents can be exchanged between Mac and Windows without failure to resolve font references.
Adobe Muse displays localized font names (if available) based on the application locale, rather than system locale. Adobe Muse documents can be exchanged between across application locales without failure to resolve font references.
FTP Upload
Adobe Muse now includes the ability to FTP to the host of your choice by selecting File > Upload to FTP Host in the Adobe Muse menu.
Adobe Muse's FTP upload dialog allows you to specify the host, subdirectory, and login information.
Adobe Edge Integration
If you publish an .oam file from Adobe Edge, you can place it into Adobe Muse. All required images, CSS and JavaScript content will be uploaded at Publish or Export time.
As with other placed content any changes made in the source Adobe Edge file and re-saved in .oam format will be detected within Adobe Muse, and you can use the Assets Palette to update the content in Adobe Muse.
Language Support
Japanese and Italian localizations have been added.
Specific Japanese features include the addition of Japanese web safe fonts on the font menu as well as support for Japanese IME, including text input and double-byte text.
Ruler Guides
Adobe Muse now includes the ability to drag guides onto a page from the Horizontal or Vertical ruler.
Page items snap to guides when moving, but guides are not exported.
Adobe Muse supports selecting multiple guides on a page.
Sitemap.xml
Adobe Muse now creates a sitemap.xml file for better search engine optimization when the site is hosted somewhere other than Adobe Business Catalyst. You can exclude a page from the sitemap.xml file (if you don't want search engines to find it) by setting an option in the Page Properties dialog.
Browser Fill Improvements
You can now set a gradient on the Browser Fill. (Note: Opacity, Focal point and Size are not available due to cross-browser compatibility and usability standards)
In addition, you can now set your browser background image to fit or to fill.
Control Strip Improvements
The Adobe Muse control strip now has collapsible control sets (similar to Illustrator). As you expand the width of the Adobe Muse application window more controls appear.
Additional controls have been added to the Control strip – States, Transform, and Align. Text controls are now available when text frames are selected, not just when you're using the text tool.
Drag and drop styles/swatches/colors
You can now drag and drop a Paragraph style or Character style onto a text frame to apply the style to the text.
You can also drag a Graphic style into a page item, or the page to apply it.
You can drag a Swatch onto a page item, page, or browser area of a page to apply background fill.
You can drag a Color (via dragging the color preview area just above the RGB edit boxes) onto a page item, page, or browser area of a page to apply background fill. You can also drag a color to the Swatches palette to create a swatch of it.
Hyperlinks
The Hyperlink control can now be resized so that users can see entire URL. We've changed the label of the hyperlink option “Title” to “Tooltip” to help clarify where user enters the hyperlink destination information.
New Selection Visuals
Hint labels now show when you hover over elements on the page. There is a new preference to turn this display off.
Groups and widgets are now indicated with dotted line containment rectangles.
When a page item cannot be resized in a specific direction we now show an “X” instead of a missing handle.
Widget Improvements
Slideshow and Composition widgets now include a numeric stepper for controlling the Auto Play speed in seconds rather than Off, Slow, Medium, Fast.
We've added Shuffle as an option to the Slideshow and Composition widgets so the slideshow or composition contents play in random order.
Changing a Menu widget from horizontal to vertical, or vice versa, now does a much better job of preserving size and spacing.
Changing the state of one part of a widget at design time now changes appropriate sibling parts to the same state to more closely mimic browser behavior.
Based upon customer feedback, we renamed the following:
"Fit Width" and "Fit Height" to "Uniform Spacing"
"Uniform Width" and "Uniform Height" to "Uniform Size"
Other assorted improvements
Shift + Return/Enter will create a soft return instead of a carriage return.
Control/Ctrl + Tab activates next tab.
Control/Ctrl + Shift + Tab activates previous tab.
Option/Alt + click a page tab will close all open page tabs.
Option/Alt + click a site tab will close all open sites.
Holding the Shift key down while resizing an image allows you to perform a non-proportional resize.
The X, Y, W, H, and Angle edit boxes support duplicating and transforming the selection if you hold down the Option/Alt key when you hit Return/Enter or Tab.
If you enter a value in an edit box you can do a Shift + Enter to apply the value AND keep focus in the edit box.
Select Same feature added which selects other objects on the page that are the same type as the object currently selected and can be used through Alt Control Shift A and the Context and Edit menus.
Added feedback to rotation tracker so you see the angle next to the cursor as you rotate.
Changed rotation display values to be between -180 and 180 to match other Adobe apps. Previously it was 0 to 360.
Publish dialog has a new FAQ link to help users understand the implications of publishing.
Upload to FTP and Export to HTML workflows now have a ‘Domain Name’ input field. This is used for generation of Sitemap.xml and for enabling Typekit web fonts.
The display of 100% width items on iOS devices is now enabled.
Adobe Muse now produces functional submenus on iOS devices.

Not all of the listed email recipients on my contact form are receiving the inquiries.    Muse allows me to add several email addresses separated by a semi-colon (see below from Corey Wrote) but only one of the three addresses are receiving the contact form inquiries.

Forms
We've added a new Form widget to the widget library.
You can easily configure the form to send the form submissions to multiple email addresses, and optionally redirect users to another page after submitting the form.
You can add and remove fields, and style the form as you would other Adobe Muse elements. You can independently style the various states of the form, and form fields to provide a compelling user experience, with visual cues for error states, empty states, and more.
Because Form processing requires server-side support, Adobe Muse forms are configured to work when published to Adobe Business Catalyst. If you make changes to your form and publish again, Adobe Muse will make the appropriate changes to your Adobe Business Catalyst forms.
Adobe Muse will safeguard data when redesigning your Adobe Business Catalyst forms
If a field with no data submitted is removed, it will be deleted from the database.
If a field that has submitted data is removed, it will be preserved in the database, but can be deleted from the Adobe Business Catalyst admin console if desired.

How do you adjust an image placed in a shape?

In AICS6 I have a compound path made of two half-circle looking shapes. They have to be separate because they are puzzle pieces. Inside of this I am placing an AI illustration that is a group of over 100 shapes. The problem is this: Once inside the compound path it is impossible to adjust the position of either the placed image or the path container. Let's say I want to move the path around the image. If I use the direct seletion tool it will only select part of the path. This happens even if I group the two parts of the path. It then wants to deform the half-circles rather than move them. If I select both halves of the compound path and try moving it with the keyboard arrows nothing moves. If I select both with the white arrow and then switch to the black arrow the result is the same. OK, dead end. The other option is to move the image and keep the path container stationary. When I select the image with the direct seletion tool, however, it only selects one of the hundreds of vector shapes making up the image. Even if they are grouped, it will only pick the one part. So I am stuck.
This is really amazing because it works so easily in InDesign, but you can't make the kind of picture boxes in ID that I need nor the type of clipping paths I want in Photoshop. It is best done in AI, but as is often the case there is a critical feature missing that is found in another part of the so-called "suite" to do something that shoud be simple. I'm hoping that's just it: that I'm missing something really simple. Thanks for any help on this. Please don't tell me to raster the vector image. I know that would work, but that is not a solution. That is a concession. If that is the only way, however, I'll do it.
Thanks.

Mike,
Is it impossible to Direct Select the path (to be able to find it in the Layers palette) and then click the corresponding rightmost dot in the expanded layer in the Layers palette, to get the whole path?

I would like to know how to insure that all track from a CD I rip into i-tunes all go into the same file regardless of the artist on the CD. I was recdently importing an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one track featured a guest a

i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.

Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.

New features I'd like to see in Prelude

Prelude is a very cool program and I can see this becoming a vital part of the workflow. I have noticed a few things that aren't perfect yet and would like to change. I will file feature requests, but I am wondering if anyone else agrees with these, has any workarounds, or has other items to add to the list.
1. Thumbnail view in the project window with hoverscrub. Pr took a giant leap forward with Hoverscrub so you don't have to load each clip into the source monitor to preview, and PL could use this as well. (The case could be made that PL needs this even more, since this will be a step in the workflow where you could be searching through clips even more than you would in the bins in Pr)
2. More efficient way to create bins and move clips in the project window. Right now, when you create a new bin, it shows up at the bottom of the list of clips. I have a project open with 500 clips in it - if there is a clip at the top that I want to throw into the new bin, I have to drag it down and wait for the list to scroll all the way to the bottom - slowly! Such a big time waster. It would be more useful if I could highlight a clip - or multiple clips - hit "new bin" and the clips would automaticaly be placed in the new bin. Or, having the option to have multiple tabs in the project window (like Pr) could also alleviate the issue.
3. The ability to send clips to a specific bin in Pr. Right now, when you send clips over to Pr, they show up in the main project window. If I have a bin structure set up there, it would be nice to target certain bins so the clips down't get lost in the higher level bin hierarchy. For example, if I'm working in a bin that is nested in a B-Roll bin, nested in an interview subject and want to go back to Pl to find more clips, I would like the ability to have the B-Roll bin open, go to Pl, send a clip, and have it show up there in the proper bin. Now, I have to navigate back to the top level and drag it to the proper place. Not a huge deal with one clip, but working with lots of clips can get disorganzied pretty quickly. One last note - some might say that all the Pl work should be done up front and organized there before going tp Pr, but I am finding Pr-Pl to work well together, using Pl as my sorting, metadata and organization tool concurrent with Pr. Essentially, Pl is acting like a turbocharged version of Pr's Brower, Poject panel and metadata panel in a separate app.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for responding Wes. I've pasted the confusing text from that website referenced in my original post below:
Ingest movie clips
You can ingest entire movie clips or a selected portion of the movie clips (partial ingest). You can also transcode the selected movie clips using more than one encoding option.
     Select File > Ingest. Alternatively, press Ctrl+I (Win) or Cmd+I (Mac OS).
     Navigate to the folder containing media, and click the folder. The contents of the folder are displayed in the center panel.
Tip: To access folders from which you previously ingested content, use the menu above the panel.
     Do the following based on your requirements:
To view content as Thumbnails, click the Icon View button.
To view content as a list, click the List View button.
To quickly preview the contents of a movie clip, drag the cursor across the thumbnail. You can also click the thumbnail and use the playhead to scrub the movie. Alternatively, use the JKL keys to control playback of the selected thumbnail.
To change the thumbnail size of movie clips in the panel, use the Zoom slide bar.

Placing More Than One Photo On A Page

Can you add in the scrapbook format more than one photo per page?
I have a friend who wants me to create a DVD for him with over 500 photos, and the only way I can cheat it is by placing two photos together in Photoshop, then putting the large JPG in the stage. It looks pretty hokey, though.
So, I am wondering if there is a setting where you can get two places to insert a photo on to a page, rather than the standard one that they give you.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Gail,
Without using 3rd party plug-ins, this feature is not available in iMovie HD. However, using the built-in effect N-Square (under Editing - Video FX), it's possible to have multiple copies of the same photo on screen - this varies from a minimum of 4 up to a maximum of 64. You could then add titles (text) as desired, using one of the supplied titles. However, this works with only the one photo - not with several different photos on screen at the same time, which is my understanding of what you want to do.
For 3rd party plug-ins, try the Slick Volumes available from GeeThree here:
http://www.geethree.com/slick/
Another way to create the effect you are looking for is to use an application like Keynote. Here you can create slides containing various photos and text on a range of backgrounds. These can be exported, then imported to iMovie. Let me know if you need help with this option.
John
