Thanks for the friendly reminder, Angie.

It's been a while since I used the Wiggler. I would like to just go directly to the wiggler entry in the user manual but there is no index there. Using the search tool takes me everywhere but the entry for the wiggler in the user manual instead taking me to forum posts and that sort of thing.

Am I supposed to just keep clicking through the user manual until I find the entry?  Why can't the search tool make the USER MANUAL entry on the wiggler one of the first returns??

Would it be so hard to at least have an index for the user manual??

If you hit Command-F or CTrl-F on windows you can search the entire document

but I agree, an old fashioned index would be nice 🙂

Try going to the "user manual" the link takes you to. Then try hitting ctrl-F or cmd-F for find and search for wiggler. Do you find anything? I sure don't. You have to dig through the menus on the left until you find the exact subsection where the thing you're looking for is.

Thank you! I've been searching for the manual for 10 minutes. Seems like it should be the kind of thing linked at the top of the page. Or better yet, instantly accessible from AE.

Edit: I take it back. This went to a 404.page not found ARGH. My search for the elusive AE manual continues. I miss the days of CS5.5 when I had a PDF document on my computer with this info.

UX FAIL 😞
