Thanks for that, Barb. I need to save all necessary files together on a local server at our company where everyone can access them. Therefore, as far as I know, CC libraries are not a viable solution. Plus the aforementioned inability to put InDesign elements in there.   @Robert at ID-Tasker had some helpful ideas up above, but I don't know how the described "snippets" function.   Here's an example of something I was trying to do today: Create a common page header, and then create a link to it on the facing page that was shifted toward the outer margin (mirroring its position on the other page). The header comprises a single-row, three-column table and then a separate line as a rule underneath that.   I used "Place and Link" to copy the header, which seemed to work... but then I discovered that   The linking instance of the item has the same name, and there's no indication in the layer list that it's a link. Not even a little "chain" icon. Not even "(linked)" appended to the name. So you have to manually rename every link, to keep track of which one's the master. Otherwise you have no idea which one is the master that you need to change in order to percolate the change through the whole document. Seriously? The instances do not update automatically when you change the master. Once in a while you might see a yellow triangle on each now-out-of-date instance, or you might see an error flag in the status bar. Then you have to manually approve each update. This defeats much of the purpose of linking in the first place.   Am I missing something here, or is this design bungled? ... View more

Thanks for following up to fix that! Here's a screen shot.   ... View more

Thanks for taking the time to do all that and provide the background information.   So... a suggestion: Get rid of these basically undocumented vestiges of abandoned products or ideas. If Content Collector is any example, they're wasting the time of customers who look for the way to complete common use cases and are told by the product documentation that this is it... when in fact it's a defunct stump.   OR... fix and document them. But I don't really think Content Collector can be fixed. This design defies all UI convention, common sense, or even intuition. You can't remove items from the collection without performing a dummy placement and then having to delete it from the page? That's not a professional or production-worthy design. Anyway, I'm not going to rehash the issues I already pointed out above. I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to describe the functionality though!   So... if one wants to create a collection of reusable elements that can be revised wherever they appear in the document, what is the intended (non-abandoned) method we're supposed to use? ...

Thanks for the reply.   Well, since clicking on stuff in the conveyor does nothing, I don't see any way to make it "active."   And using the Escape key to delete stuff is just... ridiculous. Come on. ... View more

Thanks for the reply. I never see highlights in my conveyor. Also, the transport-style controls are always greyed out. I have examined all the ToolTips, but the ones that exist don't answer the questions. For example, how do you remove stuff from the conveyor? Not "place and remove," just remove.   And there are still the unexplained numerals, and the fact that there's no way to name anything in this collection... so you can't find what you want to place. ... View more

That documentation is woefully inadequate, to be kind. There's no instruction on how to remove stuff from the "conveyor." Nor any explanation of what all of that stuff is on the conveyor, why you clicking on the thumbnails there does nothing, or what the numeral badges mean.   And there are even bad links on the page. The use the links panel one is a 404.   Pathetic. ... View more

Thanks, Matt. Good to know that the resizing of the selection works as desired. Thanks for the info about Shift-clicking on the marker to extend the selection. I was referring to hotkeys, however. There's something funky about Audition's handling of the Shift-(next/prev marker) key combo, but I don't remember exactly what. I do remember that it did not consistently extend the selection per OS standards. ... View more

Hi Matt, Once again the Audition team stands out as one team at Adobe that cares to engage with customers and respond. Thanks for that. As I noted in the original post, snapping and snapping to markers were on; I noted that because the button is not visible in the screen grab. Maybe that one bug (snapping a timeline event to a marker) has been fixed since then. It is critical in an audio editor that we be able to: 1. Easily select the material between two markers, as depicted in David's request. The lack of this is, by far, the biggest impediment to using Audition. As noted, this is commonly available in other applications; I have an $80 audio application that's popular with voiceover artists, which lets you drop two markers and double-click between them to select the region. I now use this application instead of Audition. 2. Drag the edges of a waveform selection to resize it, with an option to have the cursor snap to markers. I can't remember if Audition lets you resize selections this way. 3. Extend a selection between the playhead and a marker (or vice versa). If I remember correctly, using a Shift-(next marker) hotkey combo does not extend a selection properly in Audition. I got fed up with Adobe's abandonment of Illustrator and failure to fix years-old defects in everything else... but if Audition were available as a stand-alone, NON-RENTAL application I'd buy it at a reasonable price. I like Audition and respect the Audition team. ... View more

Does anyone actually work at Adobe anymore, outside of their subscription-harvesting department? This fundamental and crippling defect has lasted THREE YEARS? I shitcanned Adobe's derelict rental software years ago, and Audition was the app I was most reluctant to lose. But life and work has gone on without it. ... View more

Remember how Adobe's software-rental rip-off was going to make everything better? 10 years ago:   The shift is intended to ramp up the pace of innovation at Adobe Systems Inc. with continuous online updates replacing annual product cycles. It also aims to bring together traditional tools like Photoshop and Illustrator with online marketing software and services under Adobe's Marketing Cloud programs.   "This gives us the freedom to think differently and help us innovate more quickly,"David Wadhwani, Adobe's senior vice president and general manager of digital media, tells Forbes in an interview.   And this has turned out to be the lie we all knew it was at the time. ...

How about a single "save preferences"/"load preferences" panel with checkboxes for anything you can save and load?   Crazy, I know. But maybe now that Captain Nyet has left the building, someone has come on board with a more realistic view. ... View more

B-b-but do you have USER DATA to support that glaringly obvious use case? No?

Thanks for the reply. I never said that a "cloud" option isn't useful. I said it's not acceptable as the only solution, in place of simply being able to save and load a file locally.   If I'm running a computer lab in a classroom, I should be able to put a keymap file on a server or a thumbdrive for every student to load on his machine. Or even if I'm a lone user with three computers who wants the same shortcuts on them... I shouldn't have to round-trip a tiny file through some third-party Internet servers to computers that are 10 feet away.   And again... a Save function makes no sense without a Load function. ...

Unfortuately that thread has been deleted.   Has this problem been fixed in Audition yet?   I'm going to guess nope. It's too bad; Audition was the best app in the entire CS lineup (which I shitcanned years ago, largely because of unfixed glaring defects year after rip-off year). ... View more
