Installer: Oh I don’t know I might just continue it yeah? It’s not like I have anything better to do with my time
Thanks Frank
Installer: No browsers were even running, this wouldn’t be so bad if everyone wasn’t crying over how insecure flash is and people shipping older versions of it lately.
Thanks pbear
Fireworks + Snow Leopard
Install Snow Leopard, Open Fireworks, Expose to reveal desktop, Sigh as the stupid fake palette windows don’t disappear.
No ones even testing this shit are they?
Edit: You can no longer use the eye dropper tool on other windows, it just focuses them instead.
LOOKING FORWARD TO DROPPING £1K ON CS5 TO GET THIS BASIC FUNCTIONALITY BACK IN A FEW MONTHS
I’m guessing by “testing” the Adobe team means “opened the program, drew a few boxes, wrote a bit of text, saved and loaded a file”oh wait thats exactly what they mean
runs fine with common steps i.e, draw rectangle, convert to movie clip, test movie, save and open file, etc.
Photoshop:
Why is this menulet with horrible aliased text asking me for an Adobe ID? What does it even do, and why is it installed? Of particular interest are the checkbox and button elements that would look more at home in CDE than a professional tool. Yeah what the hell does it even do? also nice job lining up that check box
Thanks Zack
Installer: Thats really reassuring, why can’t you just drag the folder in Applications to trash like every other application… oh yeah DRM… well good to know that was a complete success
Thanks Chris
Flash Player: THIS FUCKING DIALOG! What were they fucking thinking when designing this shit? The amount of crap this confusing pile of excrement has caused me this week because clients and therefore regular folk haven’t a fucking clue how to use it.
This sort of setting should have been sorted once and for all during the player installation, web designers and developers shouldn’t have to dedicate time trying to find the best way to sort out this fuckup.
Alien Skin Bokeh
Just thought I would try this out… if you ask me a FUCKING BLUR PLUGIN FOR PHOTOSHOP SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLING SHIT LIKE THIS ON MY COMPUTER
Installed Macintosh HD:Library:StartupItems:ProTecVb:DemoOver
Installed Macintosh HD:Library:StartupItems:ProTecVb:NalpeirondVb
Installed Macintosh HD:Library:StartupItems:ProTecVb:ProTecVb
Installed Macintosh HD:Library:StartupItems:ProTecVb:StartupParameters.plist
A FUCKING START UP ITEM TO RUN YOUR FUCKING PLUGIN! FUCK YOU ALIEN SKIN, I’M UN-INSTALLING YOUR SHIT RIGHT NOW WITHOUT EVEN TRYING IT.
I would have been able to spot this shit before installing if they had used a generic package install instead of that MindVision Vise X crap.
Worth noting they don’t even include an uninstaller to clean this shit stain off your computer
Here is it, note I’m not running photoshop yet this shit is still sat there… all day every day because of a fucking blur plugin. Extra bonus fucked up Flash null process
Installer: Comforting words from the Adobe Installer when trying to uninstall Acrobat, fuck knows where in the depths of your computer that shit is still lurking considering how much crap they hide in your system these days just to run a few graphics programs.
Cheers Adam
