Bill, it's an opportunity for the moderators to clarify what is required of people, not some personal insult. Clearly there's an ambiguity. I think that the forum itself doesn't lend itself easily to guaging opinion on a feature (we really need a growing poll of features that collate for and against votes).
I don't go seeking out moderator posts to nitpick and I don't particularly like moderators suggesting I do, either. If I was so disposed, I could have a lot of fun, indeed. Better to read my posts as a constructive dialogue than some kind of moderation annoyance.
You guys do a good job, and in general, I would say that since recent upheavals the moderation note has been even more positive than it has been before.
I asked for clarification and I said thanks when I got an answer Bill
I am not nit-picking, and I don't like the suggestion either, I am trying to understand why moderators are not all following the same policy
And I agree with Paul - frankly Dear Xara has mostly been from the outset, in practice, both workarounds and nays as well as ayes; and this has got to be useful I would have thought :confused:
Yeah, I agree - it is just as important to know who thinks a feature is a bad idea as it is to know who thinks it's good. That said, all the people who disagree with me on this are just plain wrong. I don't see why it should be necessary for me to adjust my workflow every time some newbie wants something changed. After 10+ years of loyalty to Xara, I would hope I'd get a little more consideration than the average schmuck. Unlike beretgascon, I don't find changing tools a chore and really hate it when tools change themselves. Whilst it may not actually be a 3-count between clicks, the disruption that it causes me when I am working certainly makes it feel like that. Of course, it is almost always accompanied by the need to change back to the arrow tool first, so the actual delay is easily 4 or 5 seconds. It is one of those things that stops you dead in your tracks, like when shortcuts change for no reason [Duplicate - changing the shortcut has effectively stopped me using that feature altogether].
Handdrawn's suggested workaround is another thing that I find really annoying, even after more than a year to get used to it. I find it often gets in the way when I am trying to SHIFT-select adjacent objects and I don't really understand why it was put in, it seems to achieve nothing positive. Actually, that goes for both features.
Looks like I have opened a real can of worms for myself here. I've gone from being slightly miffed at one new change to being thoroughly annoyed at the sum effect of all these little changes over the last few versions. It is exactly why I stopped upgrading Photoshop after v 5.5 and switched to Corel - I figured if I have to keep relearning how to use it, I may as well see what else is out there. It makes me wonder what else I have gotten used to that has actually degraded my workflow over the years.
I agree with you about the interruption to workflow - if you go back to my posts at the time of versions 3/4 you will see them peppered with comments about this, the detail of which is off topic here
also I agree that the cursor rotate can be annoying, I moaned about it at first but I have got used to it, so I offered it just for the record now that I find it useful, such is life - we are all different and we all evolve
now I just have to get used to cursor page resizing :rolleyes::D
as for what else is out there - they will change things too, you can bet on it....
There are at least a handful of things about XDP6 that annoy me immensely, don't worry, I'm far from being a fanboy. However, I am also a professional user and I realise that one man's bread is another man's Illustrator (oops, I mean poison). I therefore accept the little annoyances in favour of using a product that gives me the best personal workflow I know of. I stopped upgrading Photoshop after CS3 but I doubt I will stop upgrading X since, in general, its upgrades continue to expand the product into hitherto unknown areas and the upgrade price always remains well within my budget.
I also disagree, I find it quite intuitive to double click to edit .....
I agree. An observation, was it change for changes sake.
