I think people in facebook and everywhere should respect customer’s input regardless, just a simple question does not need to be translated as complain .. this is a bad mindset! I bought most steinberg products even though most of them have repetitive content. But asking simple feature not gonna kill all the programmer and developer, I have been faithful to Steinberg, why would a simple question got so many negative comments .. this is ridiculous!What an unpleasant experience.
You might wondering why numbered notation is important to my end, it is because people in my country still need it and there’s no solution until today! especially when the numbered notation is different with Jianpu ..why would people only thought CMN is the only notation acceptable …I have been asking the feature since long time a go, and I did not even push it everytime, just a simple request .. and yet I have no complain at all only ASKING! .. Gonna stop here .. and walk away for a while.
I went back through several days’ worth of posts on the Facebook group and didn’t see this question, so I can’t really tell you what went wrong, but I can tell you that this is not my experience in the group at all. People there are generally just as helpful as they are here; the only time they get up in arms is when someone posts intent on telling people how much more they liked Finale and how unintuitive Dorico is after having used Finale for decades upon decades. That sort of rhetoric has gotten tiresome to the regulars, for sure.
Hi @odhot , I also find the Dorico Facebook group terrible. At some stage I also engaged there and was often annoyed. People there ranting around or you point them towards the solution and as answer comes nothing or even more ranting. Sure, this is exaggerating, but since I don’t visit that Facebook group anymore, I feel much better. So forget about FB and instead come to this forum
I don’t use the Facebook forum, mostly because all posts are “public”, so all my friends and relations would see “Ben droned on about Dorico” in their feed countless times a day.
Personally, I ditched FB for good (i.e. account deleted), because the benefits of networking with friends and colleagues and enjoying occasional escapism no longer outweighed the constant algorithm-boosted bombardment with more and more aggravating symptoms of human stupidity.
Ah, yes. Commenting with a complaint about a missing feature (regionally important, apparently, but not globally) on a post linking to a podcast with Daniel Spreadbury celebrating the release of a new product is kind of like going to someone’s university graduation and asking why the students don’t have their student loans paid off already.
There are useful ways to make feature requests and that really is not one of them. They’ve asked in the past that if you want to make a feature request, you should make a new thread in this forum to do so. Do that, and explain exactly what it is that you want, with examples, because it was clear that people in that Facebook comment thread had no idea what you were even asking for (and neither do I), and rather than explain it, you just got angry that they wouldn’t just immediately see the need for your numbered notation.
If you’re talking about Jianpu (you mention Jianpu but almost make it sound like you’re talking about something similar but different), then you’ll see through a search on the forum that people have already addressed this and offered links to a competing product(!) that will do what you want. I would hesitate to point you in the direction of another product directly from the Dorico forum, but sometimes you have to use the right tool for the job instead of demanding that a different tool be modified to do what you want it to do.
I almost ditched Facebook also, but recently discovered the “Feed” option. It’s just content that you signed up for, like the old days, not what they push at you. (Except for ads of course).
Not to mention, while all tech companies collect data, Meta has one of the worst track records for privacy and monetizing on personal data, including data scraping user’s photos and posts to train AI models without the option to opt-out.
Haven’t had an account with them for nearly 10 years and see no reason to return at this point, since things have only gotten worse from what I hear!
Good advice for all things social media: The shorter you write, the more you will be misunderstood.
What you call “a simple question” can indeed be read as a complaint. - Just scroll through this forum and look around. So many people answer the Dorico 6 threads with a short “No feature X?” or “Feature X still not included?”, and they do mean it as a complaint.
