The response I am after is some form of indication that the complaints (not only mine) are being taken seriously and/or that suggestions made are being considered. Clearly a response alone is not adequate
In my experience of software which is only as a user is that it is not at all unusual for developers to discontinue features in new versions that were useful to existing customers.
In over 40 years of computing, I personally cannot remember a single time when any software that I used, and this a lot, had a featured removed that was so useful to me and which was working properly (the sole concern being that it was misunderstood by some users.)
Apple do it all the time with the OS, introducing so-called design changes that are in practice pointless.
I have been using Apple since the Apple II. Again, I don’t remember any major functionality ever being removed, examples?
it would be extremely frustrating
Change frustrating to devastating.
how it is working is to your liking?
I have had and have no other complaints.
one possibility for you not getting an acknowledgment is that the devs are working on a solution.
If true great…then why not a single word to that effect?
