In your absence, Mighty Warrior, we, your people, can only pray for your victory, and stumble forward in the dim of our blindness.
As is said in show-biz: "break a leg."

«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

Bad language, we hear, carries a message (6)
Good luck!

Pigeon!
Bad language: Pidgin
And eh... Er....
[EDIT:] And it may carry a message
And eh... Er.... : )
Life is too shor

"pidgin" (bad language) sounds like (we hear) "pigeon" (carries a message)

Well done!

I thought I'd continue the theme of "birds with something to do with John Cleese" after Moppey Yob's excellent clue yesterday. It was either pigeon or Connie Booth...
Your turn tomorrow!

Uh they do a spacewalk today on ISS to do some stuff. I love watching that and enjoy the moments of silence when the only thing you can hear is a short message of mission control
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}
|
|
|
|
|
"...Control to ISS, you forgot to attach you to the ISS, hope you enjoy the silence..."
|
|
|
|
|
To mission control: Houston, we have a problem.
|
|
|
|
|
Mission Control: "Uh, you were supposed to do that before you suited up. "

So I was recently more or less forced to use Adobe InDesign - for a home project in which a publication has to be made, after the responsible for it had no time to finish it.
While the software in overall works quite good - I am experienced with Photoshop, so Adobe was generally speaking no new land to me, I am quite surprised that some most basic features are missing*. Basically, the software works by assembling blocs of texts or pictures, that you can link together and nicely place on your document page, the software assisting you a lot in that procedure. BUT you cannot split a text bloc . Use-case: You have a big chunk of text in a bloc, and want to split it in two so that you can arrange them differently on the page: not possible. You have to create another bloc, cut the text from the first bloc, paste it in the new one.
I am still amazed that a software used by editing professionals, and who costs an eye, would lack such simple a feature. And this is by far not the only one.
* And yes, they are missing, other are bithching about it, it is definitely not only me who don't know how to use the software and therefor *think* some features might be missing.

You can link text frames. Just create a second frame, and link it to the first one. Any text overflow on the first frame will continue in the next.
Check out this InDesign Help[^] page.
That's what you mean, right?
|
|

Yes, that's one workaround. I actually did not want them to be linked : linking, resizing, unlinking does work. But still more complicated than putting the caret where you want your text bloc to be split, and press something like ... "Split".

Well, Adobe is monitoring this Lounge, and this feature will come two versions hence.
|
|
|
|
|
Or if they get the time machine working, it'll be in the two previous versions.

If you think InDesign is bad, wait until you get a load of Illustrator.
That damned program owes me at least a quarter of a head of hair.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Been there, suffered the same. Illustrator could rank not far from LotusNotes.
