When will Adobe get a proper search function in its forums?

The new forums design is running for quite a while already, but I still don't understand how the search function could pass quality testing and has not been updated, yet. Did that department sleep? I'm in the Photoshop forum for example and I want to search this forum. To do this I first have to to do an overall search, then go to more options, and then scroll painfully to a list of 100+ entries that I have to view through a small tiny window. I'm sorry to say that, but this is absolute crap. What's the problem? Why can't Adobe implement a "search this forum" option or at least make the listbox for the forum selection larger? I do not expect something like this from Adobe! When will this finally change? This is really frustrating.

You can. But it needs to be easier to find.
Just go to the search adobe.com window. Don't type anything in it. Just click on search button.
This will bring up another search area. You will see all products with a down arrow. Click on view all products and take your pick.
I am sure someone will point out a faster route to go.

I would also prefer to search within one product (or even a sub-forum), not ALL Adobe products.
Man, whoever thought THAT was a great idea?
Good luck,

When will we get a proper form factor adaptive layout function?

I'm deliberately not putting this in the long requested features thread because adaptive layout isn't a feature, it is a basic function of all Windows Apps, except for those built by Project Siena.
I was dumbstruck to see that the often requested "support for different form factors" was translated to "exclusively for a specific form factor". Designing for one excludes the others. This is not at all useful.
While I can understand the need to design for different screen formats portrait versus landscape, because of a fixed layout there should have been:
1. a template that works for 16:9, 16:10, 3:2 that would adapt to the form factor
2. maybe a portrait template
3. and most important a function that combines two templates (as per above) and writes out some code that detects orientation so that
4. Project Siena could produce/publish/publish for store a single project that would allow use on any form factor, any orientation without needing to specify landscape/landscape flipped only - or portrait (etc.)
What do others think? To me this is more important than more widgets or anything else. Including Windows Phone would be a nice extra, but to be able to product a single project that would work transparently on all form factors and orientations is now the
single more important function I need.
It would be good to have a response from the community and a statement from Microsoft.
As someone who has 14 (not a typo, 14) apps built with Project Siena in the Windows Store, this is important.

This is a reason why I still don't work on my project design. I don't want to end up to recreating all my design. I think the only way is to add percentage size and positioning into visuals so they will adjust by it self when run
on different devices. I don't know how it could be done without it. Once you create app with visuals width set to 1000 pixels and run it on device with resolution 800*600 (example) then it obviously won't fit. However to set the visuals
width to 100% would fit logically to all devices. But this option should be implemented log time ago so we can prepare our apps for this new feature. Am I right or you working on different solution?

Other people are reporting the same problem and it's been this way for weeks now.
I must say that as a paying customer, I expect better from a company like Adobe.

I have reported the issue to the web team. I'll rattle the chains again.
Some clarification, the FuseTalk forums run on the ColdFusion platform, but are not an Adobe product. It is like Photoshop. It runs on a Macintosh, but it isn't an Apple product. It runs on Windows, but isn't a Microsoft product.
Most folks here know that I'm pretty neutral about comparing the two forums. But I recently had to run some reports on them and activity is about the same on both, with the Macromedia Forums being a little more busy than the Adobe ones. Most people are comfortable with the system they know. At the time of the Adobe/Macromedia merger there were a number of performance issues with the Macromedia Forums. Most of them have been addressed.
There was only one attempt to move from WebCrossing to FuseTalk, and that never saw the light of day. It was back in August 2006 and the project got killed before anything happened. I don't know where the comment about ColdFusion product managers wanting to use that platform for all forums comes from, I've never heard that internally.
In October 2007 we imported all of the data from the Macromedia forums into Web Crossing and did release it for two weeks and that didn't work out well (a big understatement). It was so bad that most people who went through it have suffered some sort of amnesia. They seem to recall that we were moving the other direction (WebX to Fusetalk). But that is not the case. All forums were running on Web Crossing during that experience.

Bug on search function in this forum

When i try to use the search function on this forum, i get the blank page with this message : The page caused an ESI processing exception

I have always the error too, but this error is now since more than one month.
Is there nobody at oracle.com to correct this problem??
Or does nobody knows of the error?
Thats a really damn error.
You cannot search for something and so you need
to make for everything a new question!
Hoping that somebody correct this problem!!!

When will Adobe update DIGITAL EDITIONS - to search and tag, and to back-up structure?

When will Adobe update DIGITAL EDITIONS to include the ability to 'find your books' by searching and tagging?
Also, how does one 'back-up' the organization structure? I have hundreds of books that i've organized by "Bookshelves" and i KNOW this will someday become corrrupted, somehow, and i will need to spend countless hours trying to put multiple books in multiple categories again.
[i've backed-up (besides the books themselves) "Annotations", "Mainfiest", "Tags" and "Thumbnails" but there doesn't seem to be a complementary file/folder for DIgital Editions in USER/AppData]
many thanks
Photoshop user since v1.0

TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.

When will Adobe allow an artboard preview feature in Illustrator?

InDesign's solution to hiding graphics outside the artboard is the W key – a simple and highly used feature.
When will Adobe release this feature for Illustrator? I know there are scripts and other workarounds, but we just need a simple keystroke function.
Any ideas how to get Adobe moving on this?

When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS?

When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS? I don't want to hear the line that Apple won't allow Flash. Adobe needs to get a workaround PRONTO! We need detection of simple buttons and support for Mp4 and f4v - as exported inline by inDesign when creating PDFs.

Pat Willener, Thank you for your message. I have done what you suggest. I could have sworn I started this topic in the general Adobe Reader discussion. So I have also placed a copy back where I thought I first had it so it can be found by other Windows users who, like me, are creating PDF files because they are meant to comply with an international cross-platform standard and not simply be the domain of one platform over the other.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Support for interactive PDFs
How would you like the feature to work? When I add a transparent frame containing a basic Adobe Media encoded mp4 or f4v video, export to interactive PDF from Adobe InDesign, I want the PDF and its interactive videos to work on iPads. See an example file here: ***EXAMPLE PROVIDED*** Click the lefthand top and bottom corners to bring up interactive video elements which should open in floating window, maximized, then have an exit button to close and continue reading the PDF. Of course, this does not function under Adobe Reader for iOS. You also need to attend to audio files embedded in the same way and allow an exit button to close the audio window so the reader can continue reading the PDF on Windows.
Why is this feature important to you? I create eReaders for schools across the whole country and they are taking up iPads at an unprecedented rate. If Adobe do not produce a solution for interactive PDFs on iOS then I will no longer use InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Media Encoder or Photoshop to create works in the future. You're looking at a massive education market that will leave Adobe behind if this is not acted upon very very soon. For some publishers it's already too late and they have moved to app based creation tools.

When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists?

When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists instead of forcing users to create manually formated bullet points? I've asked this question before, but never saw an answer to it. I know others have asked it as well. Adobe has set a high bar with its other solutions. It doesn't look good that Muse does not support ordered and unordered lists at this late date.

Lance,
Thanks for responding - I guess I pushed a button
My perception of the forums and response from Adobe is based upon looking at most of the postings in the "bugs" forum. There are lots of reads, very few replies.
Given the fact that many users have asked about bullets and other basic text formating I am surprised that there is still no sign of them. Perhaps it is felt that there are workarounds that will do. The truth is, as you noted, that none of the workarounds are great, some are not even practical. For my specific case, I would have been happy to use workaround #1, except that the line items were hyperlinks, and I needed to open them in a separate window using the javascript window.open function. As I've detailed in other posts, there is a real problem with this in Muse. Hyperlinked javascript calls are invoked via the "href=" attribute, but this doesn't work properly in a number of browsers. There isn't a way to tell Muse to use onclick instead (which works for all browsers). This led me to have to use embedded html.
That leads me to try #2, which is to use CSS styling in the embedded html. This too gave me fits. Using a <style> section to set the attributes for <ul> or <li> did not work. I can only assume that the tags inside the embedded HTML have a Muse-generated id or class. I tried to get the bullets by setting the list-style-type in the <ul> tag itself using the style attribute, but this did not work (it should). It does work if you put the list-style-type in the <li> tags. This is pretty tedious, and led me to create text files containing the html separate from Muse so that I can use an editor to copy repeated strings. Then I cut and paste into the embedded html container.
Note that, even though I finally found something that works, it is not visible in the design view, so you can't even tell it works without previewing it!
I haven't tried option #3, but given the need to force the use of onclick I imagine that would not be possible with your widget. I was aware of the list widget however.
I'll have to look at the Mucow docs and give it a try. The docs are a bit light - any plans to flesh them out?
Thanks,
Gareth

How to get the Wiki search functionality working?

hi,
Another Wiki question regarding the 7.1u1 Portal wiki functionality: What is necessary to get the wiki search functionality working? Right now when using the wiki search page all it does is return to the search form, no errors but no hits either. I guess some additional administrative work is needed to get search working?
thanks, tom

haven't touched anything except for the wiki template jsps to change the design. it is a linux rh4 install. there are no communities on that server (yet), just the wiki portlet in a tab so far. is the wiki search dependent on the portal search server or totally separate (ie self contained wiki search)? any additional services or such that need to be started for it to work?

HT6065 When do we get a proper fix for the Mail App?

When do we get a proper fix for the Mail app on my iMac? The last one made things worse. Or ta least, how can I roll back the OS to Mountain Lion?

Thanks for the reply Varjak,
Mail has stopped refreshing as it should. When I click the get new mail envelope, there used to be a sound after around five seconds if there were no new notifications. When I try that now the program just hangs. When I look at 'Force Quit', which incidentally I have to open another app or Finder window in order to access because Mail freezes totally, including the Apple menu, it says that Mail isn't responding. The Mac won't shut down sometimes because Mail won't quit. If I manage to open a mail and then go to another inbox, the whole thing is liable to hang. Using Apple help just before Christmas I cleared out the old cache that M.Lion left behind and now there isn't a cache for Mail.
We are on Tiscali Broadband through a multi-port router and usually getting around 11Mb download speeds. My mail addresses are either tiscali.co.uk or gmail. It will not successfully send group mails either, despite the upgrade before Christmas. I never had a problem with M.L. and Mail. From looking at the Forums it seems I am not alone here. I also have a windows pc and an iPhone and they both access my mail addresses without any problem.
Cheers,
Cybermouse

Nobody knows even whether CS6 will get this or if there wil lbe a paid/ Creative Cloud exclusive 6.5 update or something liek that. You're asking teh wrong question to the wrong people. Even if we knew, we wouldn't be allowed to tell you anything until Adobe announces this officially.

When will Adobe be able to use Canon SRAW?

I just installed Camera Raw 4.2 but it still does not open Canon Mark III SRAW files. When will Adobe be able to open these files?
Please respond Adobe staff.

I'd really like to know the reason why sRaw isn't supported as well.. as I've been expecting Adobe to get it working. If they can't for some reason, I'd settle for an explanation, but the rest of us are holding our breath waiting for this to be supported.
I was on my way to posting this question myself today, but found I'm not the only one. If it can't be done, or the developers just don't want to support it for one reason or another, just tell us! I'll move on and except it.. but SOME response to the user community would really be appreciated.
I know this is the user-to-user forum, but there doesn't appear to be a user-to-developer forum for camera raw.. so I'm left whining to you folks.. :/

When will Adobe Muse will integrate responsive design (like bootstrap twitter). Will you work on this or no ?

When will Adobe Muse will integrate responsive design (like bootstrap twitter). Will you work on this or no ?

Hi Gaurav,
Yes, thank you. However I was more specifically referring to this:
"Sites that use responsive web design, i.e. sites that serve all devices on the same set of URLs, with each URL serving the same HTML to all devices and using just CSS to change how the page is rendered on the device. This is Google’s recommended configuration."
You can find that on this Official Google Webmaster Central Blog.
I would think that Adobe might want to open their ears to Google's recommended configuration. No? Isn't it about time that Adobe starts listening to their customer base (and Google)? We've been tirelessly asking for responsive design for years.
Regarding: "Adobe Muse works perfectly when it comes to Separate URLs". True ONLY if you can get it to (re)direct correctly. Since they introduced multi device layouts I (and others) have never been able to get the correct version to display on any of my tablets (Archos & Samung Tab 2, 3, 4). The phone site would always show up on the tablet even though the hierarchy for the tablet is: Tablet/Desktop/Phone. Adobe has acknowledged this issue exists and has done nothing to solve it. How again does that help me?

When will Adobe LR5 support Fujifilm XT1?

When will Adobe LR5 support Fujifilm XT1?

To avoid confusion and complaints Adobe could have just not released ACR/DNGC 8.4 until LR 5.4/LR6 was ready, but they did want to get feedback on the new camera conversions from at least some of their users.
I would hope that Adobe is taking more time with Lightroom so that there is just one installable version of LR that can be licensed either with a serial number or with logging into CC, so that we don’t have to repeatedly answer the same question, every day, of why there is no LR offered for install after someone has just been purchased the PS+LR bundle, or why there LR is still asking for a serial number when CC doesn’t use serial numbers.

When will Adobe get a proper search function in its forums?
