Feb 23, 2015 12:04 AM in response to rootdrby ash1m,That's fine. But there are a lot of designers who just switched to Mac, and it is very frustrating to be limited by features of the new KN.

Feb 23, 2015 11:38 PM in response to Gary Scotlandby ash1m,Here are some of my pain points. These are the feature that I used regularly-
1 export to QT- playback > slideshow recording does not work
2 can’t uncheck 'constraint properties’ for group of shapes
3 centered canvas is great, but when I use magic mouse to work on objects, accidental swipes on the mouse shifts the canvas position. This may be because the natural state of the finger is to rest on the mouse surface, but quite occasionally, this results in the accidental swipes.
This also shifts the object's position, which then needs the Undo command.
4 cannot copy locked items anymore
5 I preferred the undocked toolbars. They require less number of clicks and less distance to select options.
Some of these might be by design, but they do add up to the friction of using KN.

Slideshow recording option for PQuickTime export work perfectly and is a vey feature
did you make a slide show recording prior to QT export:
Play > Record Slideshow
you then click the red record slideshow button to record a voice over and action next slide using the space bar.
2 can’t uncheck 'constraint properties’ for group of shapes
This is correct
when I use magic mouse to work on objects, accidental swipes on the mouse shifts the canvas position
This is not a fault of Keynote
4 cannot copy locked items anymore
Locked objects can be copied duplicated and pasted successfuly
5 I preferred the undocked toolbars. They require less number of clicks and less distance to select options.
The toolbar is in the same location as it has always been in Keynote, at the top of the window.
Perhaps you mean the Inspector? I find the context aware Inspector, (the options change dependant on what is selected) to be a great improvement, allowing a number of levels of navigation to be dispensed with. Most creative software on the Mac these days use a context aware inspector, most users find this feature a benefit.
