I'd love that same functionality in Illustrator. And why not? Why is it everyone looks for reasons NOT to do something? If you're so good and don't need it, fine. If you're good enough, like me, and like the functionality, why should my need be belittled from those that are self-proclaimed PhotoShop Masters. And, I don't even want to hear the developers reasons. There reason's have nothing to do with what the user needs. Sorry, but I've worked with them for years and know how they operate. If an average user needs a history panel, stop looking for reasons NOT to do it. Okay.. Illustrator is NOT Photoshop. Photoshop uses pixels. Please explain how a history panel would function with vector objects (NOT PIXELS). Keep in mind non-linear editing of vector objects. Check how Photoshop handles non-linear history with vector shapes.... see any problems? My points were NOT trying to find reasons a history panel would fail. But an exploration as to what value it would have if it only listed undo states due to the limitations which already exist with vector objects. If you can explain what features would be useful and how they would operate EXACTLY based on vector objects, I'm all ears. So far, no one has posted anything but "It would work like Photoshop." But even Photoshop's History Panel has little use with Vector shapes. Seems this is a simple pie-in-the-sky request by many without any real thought to functionality. From what I've read here, many want a History Panel in Illustrator to function similar to how History works in Photoshop... but no one is exploring it enough to understand that basically, you'd get all the limitations of Photoshop's History panel with almost zero benefit.

Growl caused some issues back when CS5 was released. Adobe quit auto-installing Growl like they did with CS5 (thank you Adobe). And since that time the Growl team has corrected all the issues I was aware of. I've not seen any issue with Growl and the Creative Suite in a few years.

Here's another wrench in the works... My List View icon previews work fine. It's only Column View where I get the default blue icons. But I am running 10.7.5, not 10.8. 10.8 may have expanded or changed the Apple bug.

Whenever I launch the Adobe Creative Cloud application (or click the menu bar icon if it is already running) all the "home" tab ever shows is a spinning "loading" indicator... no content, nothing, just the spinner. Is there actually supposed to be something there? The other tabs work.. but "Home" does nothing but apparently waist bandwidth trying to load something.

I agree having the effect would be nice. But you can easily accomplish inner shadows with gradients.

I believe it is the MacOS default for 10.7+ to have them on, Chris. It's off by default for 10.6 or lower. If I'm remembering correctly. It's possible that change happened between 10.5.8 and 10.6 though. I know at some point, I had to start turning them off after an OS install. I simply can't work if all Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat, Photoshop, etc. files just look like tiny, non-specific, pictures. I know some rely on the icon previews far more than I ever will. I simply grew acustomed to only seeing tiny pictures for Photoshop files, but I'm fine with the blue icons designating Photoshop files now. I can't complain if the icons behave identically to other Adobe software.

Note, that Quicklook and the Finder Preview Pane both show the preview image regardless of the icon state. This only effects the icons on my system (MacOS10.7.5 64bit). Repairing permissions several times and rebooting a couple times hasn't made any difference.

I started this thread out of curiousity, not a workflow problem. I've never seen this issue as anywhere near critical or important. I was merely curious because there has obviously been some change between Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC where the icon previews are concerned. I figured it out, at least on my system.... I generally turn off Finder preview icons because I don't really need them and it's often faster to be able to discern .ai, .indd, .eps, etc. files quickly by their generic icon rather than having to take that extra second to check a file suffix or remember file names. In the past Photoshop has completely ignored the Finder's icon preview setting resulting in icon previews for .psd, .tif, etc files all the time (unless that pref option was disabled or save for web was used). It made no difference whether the Finder's icon preview setting was on or off, all Photoshop files had icon previews. It would seem that with Photoshop CC, the Finder's icon preview setting is honored rather than ignored. If I choose View > View Options in the Finder and tick the "Show Icon Preview" option, all Photoshop CC files suddenly have icon previews just like Photoshop CS6 files. If I untick the "Show Icon Preview" option, Photoshop CC files go back to generic file icons while Photoshop CS6 files continue to show icon previews. So.... it may not be a bug at all. At least it doesn't appear to be unexpected behavior here. If anything Photshop CS6 is displaying the unexpected behavior, not Photoshop CC. While it may be nice to be able to tell Photoshop files to ignore the MacOS setting, I can certainly live with the fact that Photoshop CC file icons just do what the OS tells them to do.

Note; Wacom relased a new driver over the past few days. Version 6.3w3. This version seems to have cured MANY of the bugs I was finding in previous drivers. Lindorfer, you may need to contact Wacom. According to thier web site, Windows 8 is not supported for the Intuos 1 tablets. It may be time to upgrade hardware.

How are you creating "a document at 1920x1080 pixels at 300 dpi " specifically, how are you setting the "dpi"? Illustrator is a vector application which means it's resolution independent. There is no "dpi" setting for documents in Illustrator. There is the Document Raster Effects Settings but that does not control the document as a whole. It controls any raster effects applied to objects.

Mac OS 10.7.5. Photoshop CC. Everything is set accordingly: Yet I get only generic file icons. No previews. Why? Can you find the only Photoshop CC file in this folder, all others are Photoshop CS6 files?

I'm just reciting what I've read. I got the distinct impression that pre-CS6 the code base for Illustrator was much less-than-ideal.

No one here will know why specifically. Adobe doesn't share development information. One possible holdback may have been the fact that Illustrator was a 32bit app up until CS6. Now that it's a 64bit app, the prospects of an auto-save or recovery feature are more likely from my understanding.

Illustrator will, on very rare occassions, recover a file after a crash. it's EXCEPTIONALLY rare though. It has something to do with how and why the crash occured and only in special instances is recover possible. If Illustrator does not recover the file when you relaunch the app, there's no other way to recover anything.

It's good to see that Adobe has heard, and is considering options. http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/our-move-to-creative-cloud-an-update/ No specific word on the issues, but at least they acknowledge there are issues which need to be resolved.

Ooops... hello mouth, meet foot. You're right I didn't read carefully. And yes, it's not the first time something has been killed off when it was valuable (cough * Dimensions*). This is one factor which makes the "Creative Cloud" an unsettling experience to me.

They took it out becuase it generated horrible code. If you see the new CC features, they've added things back in a better, more modern, way. If course, you have to buy intot eh Creative Cloud to get it and new features won't be released until the 17th of June.

Clipping masks only work in one direction. Encompass what you want visible INSIDE the clipping path. Everything outsdie the clipping path will be hidden. There's no way to invert a clipping path.

I appreciate the other developers wanting to break into the Mac market by piggy-backing on some other software. In the end, that is not a real solution. I have Parallels, and yes I can run Windows-based software through it. However, adding an OS platform is simply undue overhead. I can not fathom spending my day in Parallels to work. That's silly. I use a Mac because I like the Mac OS. If, due to Adobe's anti-customer policy, I'm going to have to move to Windows-based solutions, in the long run, it will be less expensive and performace will be better by simply moving to an actual Windows-based platform. Windows 7 is actually a pretty nice OS. But there are still a mountain of items I dislike about Windows in general. Perhaps the other software developers are now kicking themselves for ignoring the Mac Platform? Who knows. I've been a Mac user for more than 30 years, I seriously doubt I'll suffer through Windows for creative software. There are solutions which ARE Mac-based. Maybe not as good. But I just can't see spending hudreds of dollars on software only to run it via a "emulator" for another OS. (I realize it's not really an emulator in the strictest sense.) Even on the Mac Inkscape is annoying due to the X11 platform need. Well that and the svg core. The sad truth is, for Mac users, there's Adobe at the top of the pyramyd, then there's all the others in the stone pits below. There's nothing mid-pyramid. And there is no substitute for Photoshop if you need CMYK support. I'm sticking with CS6 until it will no longer run. Or until an actual Mac solution is developed. On the bright side there's at least another year, if not two or three, before CS6 is no longer a viable solution. We've all passed on an Adobe upgrade before and not suffered because of it. I'm simply choosing to pass on Adobe's current upgrade offer because, contrary to Adobe's apparent belief, I have a brain and understand it's a poor choice for my business. If, at some point I need some special CC feature for a client, then I'll subscribe for 1 month, get the project done, back-save to CS6, and pass along costs. I won't be a perpetual source of monthly income for Adobe EVER. I'd jump at the chance to install Draw or Xara on my Mac and run it as a Mac application. But If I'm forced to jump through hoops for those developers, how is that bettering my position? It's merely changing who owns the hoops.
