What's with this oversimplification of user interface in apps? I want progress info!

I really do not like that some Apple Apps do no display progress. New to the list, the App Store now does not show any progress when installing/updating.

Here is the App Store, I'm updating FCPX and it shows no progress whatsoever,  NOTHING.

Meanwhile, Launchpad displays Progress nicely. The slider, and "Downloading, 88MB of 150MB." Great!

Is this too much to ask? 

What is off limits to commercial photography? A lot! - An Adobe Stock list

Adobe Stock has a great list of restricted subjects. Ouch, it's a long list! And it's a sea of NO.

I haven't experience this bug, thank you very much, but be warned!

Click these links below and read on and act appropriately in order not to loose them precious files. Hopefully Adobe will discover the problem and issue a fix soon.

This news come at a time when I have been thinking of storing all apps caches onto a separate SSD to speed up things. Well, good thing I haven't implemented that plan yet.

Another reminder to always have a backup up-to-date.

Be wary of the Media Cache!

How to mark all messages in a Gmail mailbox as read

Gmail allows you to mark emails as read only on one page worth at a time. Infuriating if you have a backlog of unread messages in your mailbox - as I do.

How to mark ALL messages in the mailbox as read at once?

Easy:

Select All or Unread messages on the page, at which point you will see a little message at the top of the list: "All XX conversations on this page are selected. Select all YYY conversations in "MailBox"

Click on this "link": Select all YYY conversations in "MailBox"

At that point you will see the message: All YYY conversations in "MailBox" are selected. Clear selection

Now that all messages are selected, click on More/Mark As Read.

Confirm the bulk action...

Done.

How to Copy and Paste keyframes from Object to Group in Apple Motion

You might think that's not possible to copy keyframes from an object to another object or a Group in Motion, but it is totally doable.

The trick is to first Select the Object in the Keyframe editor. By default it is not selected and the Paste function does not work.

Keyframes added on the Circle Object

Select all (Command A) and Copy (Command C)

Trying to Paste to a different Group or Object (Command V), nothing happens :((, no Keyframes added. That's because you must first select the Group or Object.

First Select the Group, then Paste, Boom! Keyframes added.

First Select the Rectangle Object, then Paste... Wham! Keyframes added!

How to Fade in/out completely with Ramp Behavior applied to a Bezier Shape in Motion 5.3.2

If you've applied a Fade in/out to an Bezier Shape that also has a Ramp Behavior you will notice that the Fade does not start at 0 and does not end at 0. In other words, the Bezier Shape is still visible on the first and last frame.

See below, I have a Bezier Shape with a Ramp and a Fade in/out applied to it.

Without a Ramp Offset, the Fade does not start at 0 = my Shape (Arrow in the Viewer) is still visible on the first frame

In order to start with the Shape completely invisible on the first frame and disappear entirely on the last frame you must adjust the Ramp Behavior by adding one frame at the Start Offset and End Offset.

With a Ramp Offset of 1, the Fade starts at 0 = my Shape is invisible on the first frame in the Viewer.

Detail of the Start and End Offsets for the Ramp Properties.

Why is Vimeo Player so sluggish and unresponsive???

Vimeo, please address your Player sluggish behavior ASAP. It's unbelievable how slow and unresponsive the Vimeo Player is right now.

Often one wants to pause and back a little to replay something that one didn't catch right away. IMPOSSIBLE at the moment, as Vimeo player gets stuck into limbo. The smallest click backward will freeze the whole thing.

It's incredible frustrating, we shouldn't have to buffer the entire video to be able to swing forward and backward with ease, its 2017. Please make it better, please!
