Question

Searching in the SDK section only?

Ever since the new absolutely awful forum update, it is next to impossible to search for SDK related content only.

 

My procedure is to click the SDK topic first on the right hand corner and then search for key works. However, everything gets shown in the return search: scripting, users using After Effects, etc.

 

Similarly, when I post a question related to the SDK only, I tag it with the SDK topic but I get community members outside of the SDK section replying with answers obviously unrelated to the SDK.

 

Is there no longer any way to exclusively search within the SDK section only? Or am I missing something here??

 

Thanks,

-Rich

    Yeah unfortunately for those of us just choosing to learn the SDK, we are on our own to use the SDK guide and start new forums posts. It appears all the old scripting and other useful fixes are now gone!

    Is it possible to get Adobe to restore the previous Q&A?

    There was so much absolutely invaluable information in the forum on the already barely-supported SDK that had proven to be critical for us developers.

     

    All that is gone thanks to Adobe's infinite wisdom. All the geniuses that used to help in the forums seem to also be gone - I don't blame them.

     

    It makes absolutely no sense to me why they would think this a good idea. Even less so to discard the volumes of helpful questions and answers that were there.

     

    Now if I want to search for a question related to the SDK, I get pretty much every possible answer related to After Effects, especially those from novice users asking about basic AE functionality, and 100% not related to the SDK.

     

    Way to support your developers, Adobe.

     

    I would urge you to modify this new forum so that there is a clear and definitive sub-forum for developers, as well as add all the invaluable past information you blindly decided to discard.
