My list of grievances (continued)

  • The “Check in” item is right below the “Save As” item in the File menu of CS3. If you accidentally hit that item, it changes the Save As dialogue box to the Adobe style. You have to click on the “Use OS Dialogue” button to get it to go back.
  • When transferring money out of PayPal, why is the “cancel” button in the lower right corner instead of the “continue” button?
  • The five or six seconds after I realize that I’ve accidentally clicked the Time Machine dock icon again are as agonizing as I imagine it would be to realize you just pricked yourself on something in a lab studying infectious disease: it doesn’t react immediately…but you know what’s coming.
  • In InDesign’s Links panel options menu, “Link File Info…” and “Link Information…” are  right next to each other. Odds alone would indicate that I would, strictly by accident, pick the one that I need to check which images are RGB at least sometimes, so why do I always hit the wrong first? And while I’m at it, why are they so similarly named and right next to each other in the menu?
