Hi Bluehair,
We hear you. We are actively working on a fix to restore the old functionality of transform. We changed things to deal with a bug and (quite frankly) to render the app MORE logical, but clearly failed to take into account established user workflows. I can't speak for the rest of the team, but I will say "mea culpa" cuz I thought this change was an improvement, pushed for it, and monitored the Beta to see if anyone had a problem.
That last is an important point. I'm sure you can appreciate that it's often difficult to get more than a limited amount of meaningful feedback of features and bugs. Our channels might seem very straight-forward to us, but perhaps they seem Byzantine to others. I am truly open to any and all suggestions for getting meaningful feedback from customers about the product. The Beta program exists as a chance for users to look at what's in the works and say "that's a TERRIBLE idea" cuz, as I'm sure you're aware from your own design experience, it's easy to think your idea really rocks when it doesn't. In the past this "safety net" has worked quite well. Obviously, not in this case.
Along that last point, I and others on the team, are always interested in doing customer visits (virtual or actual) in order to see how people are using the product in the real world, observe workflow, and try to ameliorate bugs. If you or someone else is a big-time text user and are interested, please ping me back. This applies doubly if there's some text-based bug that's really annoying you! 8-)
While I cannot comment on feature or release-dates of versions that are in development, I will say that we have absolutely heard the complaint about transform and are actively working for a solution.
Thanks,
David
