All of the controls display disabled if transformation dialog... WHY?

Transform each.  A reasonably useful, if the minimalist dialog box disables all THE controls view.

Including Zoom and pan.

And of course the really useful things, like hiding boxes of delimitation and frames/edges and Guides... they also don't work.

Why such a monochromatic and linear force in 2013?

Adobe has spent NOT of its record profits hiring more programmers?

Are their all scripts that move you this heinous oversight, the surplus of what... 1995?

New: Here users can not tell you why. Illustrator is a very old and archaic program that did not follow over time. But you already know that.

Or is there another explanation?

There is further speculation. Mine is simply that the user base continues to tolerate. At the end of counts, that's why. If you want more explanation, read on:

Adobe PostScript was created in the 1980s. Adobe has dominated the graphics industry since then. So people are buying Illustrator because it carries the Adobe brand. None of this has changed.

It becomes a cycle of self-fullfilling. Newcomers buy Illustrator beginning - we're assuming that it is the "value" because it carries the Adobe brand. As a result, most Illustrator users have very little experience with any other mainstream 2D Bézier programs drawing, or not at all. Long-time Illustrator only users are becoming more acquired in its archaic interface and bulky and fearing having to apply that kind of effort in learning any other program. They - self-protection Tower - advise newcomers that it's the "professional" choice the 'value '.

If the cycle is repeated.

Illustrator users only together Illustrator features assume to be "cutting edge" for its category of software. Adobe marketing, of course, support this myth.

And it follows an absurd comedy. Literal decades pass before Illustrator users realize that 'page 2' is not only possible but valuable in a drawing program. The year 2013 (and who knows how many others) comes and goes without Illustrator never acquire the most basic features of a good set of basic geometric shape tools direct. You discover this. But there is nothing new. This is the way it has always been.

Adobe continues to market the archaic functional bases same with occasional changes than a façade of the skin of the user interface. A long feature taken granted in another Bézier drawing programs is only occasionally added and even in the case of wobbly way paralyzed by membership dedicated to an obsolete interface Foundation which Adobe does not dare to change fear that risk alienating existing users.

The interface becomes more and more scattered, cluttered, redundant, incoherent and outdated despite its changing style façade. The confusion resulting complicated is seen by newcomers as "powerful" and "comprehensive" thinking that must be why he's so unintuitve. They come here to ask 'how' and become vested in the very esoteric learning curve.

And the cycle repeats.

Other suppliers try to capture or retain market share by emulating the interface schema more prevalent in the hope to facilitate the "passage" to their products. They focus more on reproducing the same features of old Illustrator on innovation, even when their interface foundations are higher. Diagram of the Illustrator interface becomes the de facto standard and overall software segment is stagnating in a never-ending cycle of 'me, too' offerings.

Domination of the Illustrator has so effectively the entire segment in old for many decades of lethargy. Users become adicted to same old mediocrity.

Meanwhile, other graphics in growth segments software walk on. Users of 3D modeling, for example, enjoy a multitude of patterns of interface different, each competition to ensure superior features and a superior user experience. The basis of the user assumes a position of versatility and adaptability and is less dogmatic defensive of a paticular software. Obtaining and maintaining the professional competence in several programs are considered the norm. And the category advances, become more powerful, even while becoming more affordable (growth).

Energetic beginners devote their efforts to the development of the energy situation: platforms, scripting, data, games and mobile applications-based solutions. Open source innovates in terms of business model, if it is in terms of software functionality and provides powerful applications to nearly zero price.

And everyone yawns during the debate of 2D drawing and "yesterday's news" appears in more archaic, more as its stagnation continues. And unfortunately continues to fail to reach its potential yet-to-be-understood.

Finally, self-fullfilling cycles are broken. Thereafter. The last disturbance to this particular cycle comes from Adobe itself: it's the only legitimate rental license regime, which continues.

It remains to be seen if this becomes also a trend with other software providers, or if it breaks the stranglehold of Adobe on the market. If tolerated by the user base, it becomes certainly more remunerative for the vendor (at least for a time) and who continues as customers become willingly taken trapped by dependency provider-specific. Which allows the seller to deliver a value less than the cost the same (or even less), while maintaining the same price (or even more). It is the dream of all software vendors.

It's the dream of every situation of monopoly. It's the dream of every socialist. And it works (for once) if only enough customers are properly are suckered in there. But ultimately even walls of Berlin and long distance call rating programs down. The cost and pain of the end of the cycle of self-protection, self-perpetuating is directly proportional to how long his damage is allowed to continue. It is best to nip these cycles in the bud. But history shows that does not always happen.

So there is no reason your "why": that's what customers buy, driven by what they buy.

  • Do you prefer the control display or reading to keep hidden?

    I'm curious. When it comes to e-Learning modules for research professionals, created with Adobe Captivate, you prefer to display the playback control bar or keep it hidden?

    Personally, I think that the interface looks better without the playback control bar.   I guess it's always a personal preference.

    If anyone is wondering how to hide game on your Captivate presentation bar you go to project/skin editor and deselect show the read command.

  • all of the tabs displayed in each tab group

    For no reason, my tabs together (not sure which add-on I actually use to group my tabs) continued to show only the tabs I placed in groups when I clicked on a group. Instead, all my tabs appear in each group. It makes no sense, it defeats the purpose to group tabs in the first place. I don't know why it does this, and it's confusing and frustrating to use.

    For clarity, here's an example: I go to the overall tab that I've marked "personal". It contains two personal tabs that I placed there as well as all the tabs in the last tab group that I was right.

    I've spent the last hour as follows:
    -Read about groups of tabs by Googling the subject, taken repeatedly for the same basic description of the groups tab add-on.

  • Shows not all of the content on the timeline

    I have some items on a slide, but not all of the content displayed when I saw or publish. It only shows the first part and the rest from 3.0 s does not show.

    Anyone know why this is so?

    Capture.PNG

    Everything that is on the bottom of your picture of the timeline (a box click or button?) must have the break after setting has changed. Note that it says "inactive". This means that everything on the slide will be inactive after this point in the timeline panel.  Change the break after just below the slide duration, and you should be fine.

    Hope that helps.

  • After download of Internet Explorer 8 I can't open all the icons in the control panel. On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 web from Microsoft Download Center.

    After downloading Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, I can't open any icons in the control panel.

    On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

    Help, please. Thanks Gene.

    Thanks Gene.

    Dear: :

    Running sfc/scannow will not replace the missing rundll32.exe file.

    Why you post methods that do not work and will be just wasting time?

    Hove you never even seen this problem before, tried to recreate it so that you can actually see, or have you never really fixed?

    Why you learn not what sfc/scannow does and does not do?

    Here is a simple test to you and all your colleagues in the technical support engineer:

    Rename or delete just your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe file is "missing".

    Rename rundll32.exe---> rundll32.xxx

    If you started normally, before you can blink, the 'missing' rundll32.exe file quickly and quietly replace the copy in the dllcache folder.  It is the Protection of Windows file in action and you will see something like this in the Event Viewer log system:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64002
    Description:
    File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.

    I beg you to perform this simple test to know how the sfc/scannow:

    Boot your system to Safe Mode or the recovery for the Windows File Protection Console does not run.

    For this example, we will use the system critical file rundll32.exe.

    Rename or delete your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.exe file so the file is now "missing."

    A critical file, is it true?  It is on the list of the file 3498 knows the Protection of Windows and SFC files, but now he isn't.

    If Windows File Protection is running, the "missing" file would be quickly and silently replaced (try to rename or delete it in normal mode and it will be quickly and quietly replaced).

    Now, with your file rundll32.exe missing, start in Normal mode and try to use something like control panel to open something like Power Options and you'll see that familiar message:

    Control Panel
    Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

    Now you have recreated a common problem with the missing file and seen the error of our own eyes.  A Microsoft Support Engineer will usually suggest running sfc/scannow for this kind of problem, but it will not work or help and you can prove it to yourself, and now you have reproduced the error.

    You follow own advice and run sfc/scannow to the end.

    The rundll32.exe is always had disappeared, right?  Did run sfc/scannow replace the missing critical system file?

    How can he be so sfc/scannow is supposed to replace the missing system files?  This is because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

    Now you know sfc/scannow does not.  He did not replace your missing system file (don't forget to put your rundll32.exe back so you will have a).

    Now, go to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and delete or rename the file rundll32.exe from there - and it will be gone and not replaced automatically because the Windows File Protection does not seem after this record.

    Run sfc/scannow in full again.

    Replace the file rundll32.exe missing in the dllcache folder, since it handles missing files (not the system32 folder) IS the folder that sfc/scannow.

    Now you know sfc/scannow does.

    Do you need help to know too much about the corrupt system files?

    Since most people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, they will not be able to develop a copy of the file that is missing from the installation CD, they have not.

    After some directions on how to replace the file when the user has no XP bootable installation CD authentic and that will be useful to all.

    If you don't know how to say "I don't know how" and I'll help you.

    You want to inform/warn the poster that SP3 is installed that running sfc/scannow will take a long time for the installation of SP3 CD?

    If you do not have a CD with the same Service Pack as your installation (most people don't), the posters are in for a rough and frustrating time.

    Of course this will help with the detachment of the Ministry of Education of the impossible to try things that don't work, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 100th time.

  • Cannot display all of the databases in SQL Server 2012 when using CONTROL SERVER permission on user

    Hello

    I'm testing the implementation of a user who has the CONTROL SERVER permission.

    I created a database MYDB with my sysadmn account.

    I have the connection with another say TESTUSER user account (this is a SQL login) who received the CONTROL SERVER permission only.

    The TESTUSER can see the MYDB database in SSMS.

    The TESTUSER Gets a message when you try to view the tables in the MYDB pressing the sign +. :

    "The MYDB database is not accessible.

    If I try to do a right-click on the MYDB database, I get the following:

    'User has not authorized to perform this action... ". Error 297 "

    Even if I GRANT the ALTER ANY DATABASE the TESUSER permission TESTUSER still gets this error?

    I thought that CONTROL SERVER permission would allow a user to see all databases even those that the user does not have?

    So does the same for the ALTER ANY DATABASE permission?

    Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    Thank you

    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .
