Why is DW CS4 not elipse based

I have been so busy I just noticed the DW Beta. I have been
using DW since the beginning for prototype UI creation. I also used
homesite before that.
I was holding my breath & hoping DW CS4 would be eclipsed
based. Not only would it gain some credibility with the greater
community as a "Real" IDE but it could take advantage of all the
things that have been around for along time.
I understand that DW has been targeted at non-technical
developers or designers of static content from the start, but it
really seems that if you don't have some sort of technical
knowledge you cant really do anything with the product since its
focus has been shifted to XML web services and other SOA
methodologies. For instance how would a non-developer create a web
service to use with their DW page? Or is the intent for them to use
static XML?
It seems to me that all the "New" features are already
covered in eclipse, with a couple exceptions that could be done as
plugins.
Already supported by eclipse and really anything new
Code Navigator
CSS best practices
Code hinting for Ajax and JavaScript frameworks
Subversion integration
Adobe® AIR™ authoring support
These as a plugin
Live View
Related Files (already supported in eclipse as go to
definition & find references in workspace)
HTML data sets
Photoshop Smart Objects
Kindest regards to the DW team and I still support you, but I
am sorely disappointed that all this effort was put into this
product and I still have to switch back and forth between eclipse
and DW while I work.
Dont worry Im still going to upgrade my license to CS4.

I had not run across Eclipse before looking at your post so I
decided
to Google it. I found the web pile for this product and was
NOT
impressed.
I will quote the opening paragraph from their site:
"Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are
focused on
building an open development platform comprised of extensible
frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and
managing
software across the lifecycle. A large and vibrant ecosystem
of major
technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities,
research
institutions and individuals extend, complement and support
the Eclipse
platform."
Anybody who can pack that many buzzwords and that much fluff
into two
sentences has got a serious credibility problem.

    This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
    I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
    I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
    So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
    That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
    All the music is on an 2T external drive.

    TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
    Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
    I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

  • Why Segment shrink is not supported for tables with function-based indexes

    As we all know , Segment shrink is not supported for tables with function-based indexes.
    But i'm very confused .
    Why Segment shrink is not supported for tables with function-based indexes ?? what's its essential?

    Creating a function based index creates a hidden virtual column (you'll see it if you query user_tab_cols) and once you index a virtual column you can no longer shrink the table:orcl> create table t1(c1 number,c2 as (c1 * 2)) segment creation immediate;
    Table created.
    orcl> alter table t1 enable row movement;
    Table altered.
    orcl>
    orcl> alter table t1 shrink space;
    Table altered.
    orcl> create index i2 on t1(c2);
    Index created.
    orcl> alter table t1 shrink space;
    alter table t1 shrink space
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-10631: SHRINK clause should not be specified for this object
    orcl>so the issue is not with function based indexes per se, it is a level beneath that. Perhaps because the virtual column has no physical existance, when the row is moved there is no reason for Oracle to realize that an index needs updating? I haven't attempted to reverse engineer this, I would be interested to know if anyone else has.

  • DW CS4 not updating sites from template.  Why?

    Ok, this has become quite annoying.  Can anyone tell me if this is a common occurrence with DW, because I just started my website and, if it's going to do this, I'd just as soon use Adobe GoLive or something else to create the site.
    Here's an rerun of what happened:
    Created Template
    Saved Template
    File > New > Page from template > My Site > My Template > Checked box that says update page from template > Create
    Save new site (blah.html)
    Make change to template
    Save template, doesn't update newly created site (in fact, doesn't even show that it is).
    Rebuilt site cache, same nonsense.  Tried to update manually via modify / templates menu, same nonsense.  Resaved template, recreated page, same nonsense.
    Irritated.  This process is taking way too long for something that shouldn't be happening.  Anyone know of a surefire fix, as this has happened a couple of times.
    Oh, and yes, when I open the page, there is a marker in the top right corner identifying the template which it is associated with (in case anyone was wondering).

    I have DW CS4, not DW4 (sorry about that).
    Still, I read through the SSI information you sent me and that looks.... less of a hassle.
    I'll go that route.
    Thanks!

    Hi all
    Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
    Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
    is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
    I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
    ============================================================================================
    1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
    Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
    Dynamic Parameters in Action
    My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
    When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
    One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
    Please reply soon , it's urgent

    Hi Kishore,
    I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
    expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
    =lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
    As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
    =Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
    Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl  file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address?  It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

  • Why does Server Monitor not work with non-Xserves?

    Does anyone know why Server Monitor does not work with non-Xserve computers? We acquired a Power Mac for a server, based on there being no apparent difference except for the obvious. Turns out there are some differences after all.
    Do Power Macs lack some hardware components or is this just a software thing?

    God question, unfortunitly I dont have the answer but I would also like to know why the software only works for X-Serve....Is there any 3rd Party Software that is similar to "Server Monitor"?
    Thanks

  • Why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas

    I am on a IMAC and upgraded to 10.6.8 Jan 2014. I am using CS4 Illustrator to create with. When i save my work as a pdf then reopen the pdf in Ill to make changes, the whole page has:
    A.) Multiple clipping paths around it
    B.) Most text has now become outlined. Not editable anymore.
    C.) Gradient areas have multiple clipping paths of the single gradient area
    D.) The gradient areas now become rasterized.
    This is very frustrating as now all of my marketing files, some 300+, are worthless. I don't know where to look anymore to find the problem.
    Please help.
    Thank you very much

    John,
    I have the presets as you have shown. I had been editing the supplied items as you suggested. Then figured i should ask the questions of those who are better than I.
    But still a bit confused as to why the new save places clipping paths around the document.
    Thank you John and Monika for your help.
    why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas
    created by John Mensinger in Illustrator - View the full discussion
    I do a save as "pdf" in the format pull down tab. I save to a folder on the hard drive. Where is the "Illustrator editability" check box? I presumed it is in Acrobat some where
    but i seem to be lost.
    It is in Illustrator's Save Adobe PDF dialog, which pops up before the saved file is written.
    https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-6439399-644928/450-397/Untitl ed-1.jpg
    Sorry i didn't mention this, but this seems to have occurred when using images and text from provided pdfs.
    That's a critical fact. If you didn't do the original save, the above is moot, and it's too late to exercise any control over the save process. Someone else failed to save for editability. The only thing you can do is clean up/repair the content, (release clipping masks, rebuild rasterized elements, expand objects, etc.), and save correctly as AI. Then, if necessary, re-save as PDF with the correct settings.

  • Why are my fields not moving with my Dynamic stamp ? Only the artwork appears

    Why are my fields not moving with my Dynamic stamp ? Only the artwork appears

    Sounds like you're a candidate for Lightroom...based on the time you don't
    want to spend in Photoshop.
    Photoshop install media is likely created in large batches, perhaps in a
    foreign country, so it's understandable that you get Photoshop 11.0.0 is on
    the media.
    I don't know as I would use ProPhotoRGB as my working space in Photoshop.  I
    was merely suggesting that you look at your color settings to make sure
    things were the same on both machines.
    How do you know your actions are the same?  Did you copy the action
    recording from one computer to the other, or did you merely record the same
    steps on each one?  Have you compared the details of each action step in the
    Actions Palette to make sure they are the same?  The symptoms still sound
    like something different than sRGB being the output color-space, or the fact
    it isn't embedded on one or the other of the computers.
    How are you viewing the JPG when it looks the same or different than the
    RAW?  Are you looking at the side-by-side in Photoshop, or side-by-side in
    Bridge, or are you using a mixture of viewers, one Adobe, and one not?  And
    are you using the Canon Codec on Vista or not?  The Canon Codec would be
    showing the camera-preview in the RAW not the RAW adjustments that Adobe has
    done.
    While the OS shouldn't be causing a difference in how the action is run, a
    difference between OSes may make a difference in the processing to show up.
    The camera profile associated with a RAW file is visible in the
    third-from-right tab in ACR over at the right.  The one with the little
    DSLR-camera icon on the tab.
    Can you attach the two JPGs on a reply, here, or if not, upload a ZIP of the
    two JPGs and the RAW to a file-sharing site like http://www.rapidshare.com/
    and post the download link(s)?

  • Upgrade to Contribute cs4 not working

    We have completed an upgrade to cs 4, but are not gaining the options and toolbars we were expecting. The options under the insert menu "shared assett", "google search", and "html snippet" are grayed out even after the upgrade. Any ideas on why this functionality would not be appearing after the upgrade?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I have the educational version of the original Creative Suite Premium from several years ago.  I wanted to upgrade just the Photoshop component to CS4
    Unfortunately, you're out of luck with the Photoshop only upgrade.
    You cannot upgrade individual components of a Suite. You must upgrade suite to suite.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq/
    "Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from a previous suite edition to a standalone product?
    No. Upgrade pricing is available only if you have one of the qualifying earlier products listed on the upgrade eligibility page of the product you wish to purchase and can provide the serial number for that product during installation.
    Creative Suite Premium or Standard; Creative Suite 2 Premium or Standard; Production Studio; and Macromedia Studio do not qualify for upgrade pricing on standalone products such as Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4, or Dreamweaver CS4."
    Upgrade paths are:
    1. Individual standalone products to individual standalone product e.g. Photoshop CS to Photoshop CS4
    2. Individual standalone products to Suite e.g. Photoshop CS to Creative Suite CS4
    3. Suite to Suite
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Adobe's upgrade eligibility tool said my version of Photoshop was eligible to upgrade to CS4.
    Unfortunately Adobe makes a strict distinction between Photoshop standalone and Photoshop as part of a suite.
    Only standalone Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3 or CS3 Extended can be upgraded to standalone Photoshop CS4.

  • Why would anybody want Sub Scription Based Music? Just curious.......

    I was wondering, why would ppl want sub scription based music anyways? I mean....it's just like RENTING music, u dont exactly KEEP it. To me, i prefer to keep my music for a lifetime, which is why sometimes i still buy CDs, but i use MusicMatch mostly. I just dunno why u guys would pay $4 a month to rent music when u can pay .99 for a song that u can keep forever. I mean, in time, the company u use for Sub Scription based music will be shut down eventually, after many many years, who knows how long, and after they close down, u cannot renew ur license and well, u just wasted all that $4 a month on renting music, while i paid .99 a track and still have that music, forever and ever! Just wondering why.......

    Computerking, guys like you are now the RIAA's latest excuse for copy-protected "CD"'s (I put "CD" in quotes because they're not really CD's per Philips). Read this article:
    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/2005084/a...usic_retailers
    Believe me, DRM is a LOT better than copy protection; at least with most purchased DRM files you can burn a real CD (without copy protection OR installing copy-protection trojan apps). Subscription DRM doesn't let you burn, but with the ability to transfer to compatible MP3 players, it's not that big a deal as long as you can understand renting vs. owning. (It's the main reason I bought a Zen Micro.) Copy protection is making me rethink the whole idea of buying CD's--and I'm old enough to remember when vinyl and cassettes ruled the world. (8-tracks were just barely before my time.)
    I think subscription music is the wave of the future because you don't spend a whole lot of money on "new" (or new to you) artists whose CDs just clutter up your collection. You can listen to new music; if you really, really like it, you can buy the CD or purchased download.
    Even if you don't like the rental model, buying download tracks (even with DRM) is a wonderful antidote against having to buy a whole album for one good song; you only have to spend 99 cents (most places) for the one good song. I myself started out with downloads mainly to get rare collaborations, etc. that appear on other artists' albums, without having to buy the whole thing.
