Top 10 Most Reasonable Feature Requests for BlackBerry 10.3

Real DNA wrote:- In this post I am going to list some of the most reasonable features that I think would be doable and useful for the next installment of the BB10 OS. I'm going to leave out any concept-like ideas and or major overhauls and focus on things that I feel could become a reality.
1) Ability to hide shadow boxes around app icons on home screen
Michael Clewley already hinted that this ability would be in 10.2.1, but during some of the leaked builds and announcements, it doesn't really seem like it will be coming in this release. If it doesn't come in official builds of 10.2.1, then it should be very likely to appear in 10.3. In the meantime, an easy way to get rid of the shadowboxes is by using a dark or black wallpaper
2) Ability to adjust App grid sizes on home screen
Following up on the first point, so far there are 3 app grid configurations for BB10 devices: 3x4 on Q devices, 4x4 on the Z10 and 5x4 on the Z30. Having the option to pick between those layout and potentially adding more (3x3 or 5x5) seems like something doable. Now for Q devices it might seem like something a bit unnecessary considering the already cramped screen size, well you would be right in thinking that except for this...is an image I will post in my album.
Granted, that's a bit impractical, but it was pretty nice having the option to basically have 4 or 6 columns. Since they've done it before and the BB10 phones have bigger screens, why not?
3) Ability to hide icons
Another feature from legacy devices was the ability to hide redundant or just rarely used icons from sight. It would certainly be a good way for me and other people to not have a folder like this...also an image.
4) Limitless Folders
BlackBerry, why are we limited to only 16 apps per folder? Something like this is pretty simple since you could literally put EVERY SINGLE app you had in one folder in PlayBook OS and BB7. (I've done it before)
5) Customizable Fonts
Something I that I think was a bit underrated in legacy devices was the ability to customize fonts. I loved having a crisp and professional Times New Roman font or Sans Serif when I wanted to play around and experiment. I don't have a problem with the standard BB10 "Slate" font, but options are always nice.
6) Customizable LED
I know this is something a lot of people have been wanting for a very long time, so 10.3 might finally be the time for it. There are plenty of very good apps that do this, but when I realized that LG's Android JellyBean skin on the G2 had the ability right out of the box, I figured now would be as good a time as any for BB (who's most notable for the LED notification light) to have it built in.
7) Battery Saver Mode
Z10 owners, I know you would really appreciate this. Introduced in BB OS 7.1 was a battery saver mode to help increase the longevity of your device when it gets to a certain percentage. And with me having a Curve 9350 with a measly 1000 mAh battery at the time, this was a life saver.

Granted, that's a bit impractical, but it was pretty nice having the option to basically have 4 or 6 columns. Since they've done it before and the BB10 phones have bigger screens, why not?

I would be able to squeeze out a couple more hours of extra use with the mode enabled at 40-50%. For Z10 owners especially, this feature could potentially wipe out one of the biggest or only real major flaw: the battery life. This could also be great for the Z30 and Q10 owners already getting stellar battery life.
Universal Dark/Light Theme and Dark Hub option
This one would be huge in terms of aesthetics and potentially power saving. (Form and function at its finest) For all users having the ability to customize all of the native apps or specific ones to be light or dark adds a nice amount of customization to the devices. Having a Dark hub seems like a great way to increase battery life even more especially if the device is used mainly for communication. If you spend most of your time in the hub anyway, you might as well preserve battery life while enjoying the sleekness it brings.
9) Landscape Home screen, Peek, and Flow
I'm not going to mention the fact that the PlayBook and Torches could do this because that would be beating a dead horse. I, however, will mention two great benefits it would bring:
1) Playing games, watching videos, or typing using the landscape keyboard layout - Its a minor annoyance to have to turn the device back to portrait orientation or have to leave the app completely to view where and who my notification is from. BB Flow is arguably a way to differentiate from the normal way of doing things, the "in and out paradigm" if you will, so having this essentially nullified when the device is in landscape just seems counter-intuitive. Keeping the flow consistent enhances the user experience and it just seems more cohesive overall. Also its a bit weird returning to the home screen while your device is in landscape and its set to portrait. Granted the actionable notifications help, but the full solution is best.
2) HDMI out/ Miracast "Mobile Computing" - One of the things that former CEO Thorsten Heins really talked about was the ability to simply plug into a monitor and have your phone truly be your home/ office/ mobile computer. That's great, but it doesn't really work when my output on a widescreen monitor only takes up maybe a third of the screen real estate (not that big a problem for Q devices). Having a landscape home screen just makes sense if you use or potentially want to use your device for something like that.
10) Android 4.4 Kit Kat Application Support
BlackBerry is pushing this Android runtime really hard as far as getting more apps and making sure they run as smooth as possible, so it just seems like a no-brainer for them to stay as up to date as possible. Considering the BB10 upgrade cycle 10.2 in September/October and 10.2.1 in January/February it should be expected that a 10.3 release would be in Spring or an early summer. By then Android Kit Kat should have a decent amount of marketshare among android users, so most apps should be updated to support it by then.
That's my list so feel free to tell me what you think or if I missed anything REASONABLE. Some honorable mentions would be customizing the bottom dock, an equalizer, further pull down enhancements and integration with Skydrive and Google Drive in the native file manager.

Better night shots in camera (hardware or software improvement?)

When app is opened from a folder three or four pages into apps list, we hope the screen can go back to that spot when the app is closed (sadly it uses active frames at the moment)

Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
Single key press to change profiles.
Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)

Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails, or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
Customize email signatures with formatting.
Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
More Options for Clock.
In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

Top 10 feature requests for reliability

As per the Terms of Use:
Post constructive comments and questions. Unless otherwise noted, your Submission should either be a technical support question or a technical support answer. Feedback about new feature requests or product enhancements are welcome too.
My top 10 list:
1) Require enough extra safe guards that users can't accidentally rename their Home folder.
2) Don't let the Finder become unresponsive and beach-balled when dot-mac mounting is occurring.
3) Faster Finder list view updating when sorted by last modified.
4) OS update scripts should perform a hard disk verify before installation. If hard disk does not verify, the user should be told of the risk of proceeding and given directions on how to fix before proceeding.
5) The filesystem should should be able to fix itself with fsck (ala AppleJack) without being booted from install CD/DVD.
6) iPhoto Library folder should have an extra layer of protection to keep users from messing with it via the Finder.
7) Forced shutdown via power key should give OS and filesystem more of a chance for recovery. (Not sure how this would work, but if users are doing this, it should not be so often fatal.)
8) System maintenance scripts should have a method for running (other than cron) for those who don't leave their computer on 24/7.
9) & 10) coming soon ...
What are your feature requests for improved reliability?

5) The filesystem should should be able to fix itself with fsck (ala AppleJack) without being booted from install CD/DVD.
David Pogue explains why this can't be done in his Mac OS X: The Missing Manual He basically says that running fsck without an operating system disc is much akin to "a doctor performing an appendectomy on himself." While a method of doing this is provided, naturally fsck itself is not analyzed because it can't do that. To run fsck without an operating system disc, boot into single user mode, holding command-S at startup. Type /sbin/fsck -fy
followed by return key,
when done type:
/sbin/mount -uw /
followed by return key and when done with that type
exit. This is documented here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Thankfully single user mode provides more safeguards. But they aren't perfect. Fixing the directory is something that should only be done if your data is backed up, and it is obvious you may have a damaged directory. A damaged directory may have the symptoms of a dying hard drive, and it is impossible to tell the difference.
Apple is readying a really good backup system in Time Machine in Leopard. You can read more about it here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/timemachine.html
Your best protection for what you are looking for is to learn how to backup your data, as my FAQ* explains:

Top feature requests for After Effects in 2012

Here's an article that I just posted about the top feature requests for After Effects made in 2012.
Please do make sure that you submit any feature requests here. Feature requests buried in a forum thread can get lost, but feature requests made here will certainly be tracked and retained.

I can't give a definitive answer regarding what we will or won't deliver in a specific future version of After Effects.
I think that buying Test Gear is a good idea, but that's just my personal opinion.

Feature Request for Adobe Media Encoder??

Hi,
Why isn't there an option to make a feature request for 'Adobe Media Encoder' on the Adobe Feature Request page??? (Adobe Media Encoder isn't on the list of software)

Adobe Media Encoder now has its own entry in the feature-request and bug-report form:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

Feature request for the windows version section..

Does there exist anywhere to raise feature requests for any future releases of MBSA?
The additional system information section of the report, and "windows version", it would be useful if it could include service pack number number, as well as flag it as a vulnerability (red X) if the version/SP level identified is out of Microsoft
support. That would be very useful.

For request like this you need to go here to the itunes feedback page http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp

Nokia 808 Pureview feature request for Phone and C...

Hi,
Where would be the best venue to make feature requests for the 808 functions? These are some nice-to-have ideas that I would like to propose, which would increase its awesomeness:
- in video mode, add a "lock exposure" setting so that the 808 doesn't continuously adjust exposure after recording starts. this would be equivalent to setting the exposure to manual on a regular videocam.
- in photo creative mode, add a voice-activated self-timer, where it would take a shot when sound reaches a certain threshold. this is similar to what the Shout 'n Snap app does for the android.
- in phone calls, add an option to use proximity sensing, so that when you take the phone away from your ear, the handset automatically switches to speaker phone, or vice versa. this would be equivalent to the Phone Speakers Switcher on the N900.
Thanks

i'd like to make an addendum to my request and change it to "lock exposure and white balance".
i just found that while shooting, it does not keep the white balance setting throughout. for example, select "tungsten" and the video will start with this, but later it adjusts as if it was under "auto" white balance setting for the rest of the video.

Where to send feature request for router?

Hi, does anyone know where to send feature requests for the router firmware? I want to suggest adding http://www.dnsomatic.com to the supported dynamic dns providers, as it would add tons of services with little work.

Best avenue to send feature requests to BlackBerry?

As the title states, what would be the best avenue to send feature requests to BlackBerry outside of today's event? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi @Zeridialous
The best place to leave feedback at the moment is within these forums so I can collect it and share it internally.
Two tips when submitting feedback, set the subject to Feature Request XYZ and include a use case, in other words why is this feature valuable, how can it help you accomplish more.
Thanks!

Feature Requests for BlackBerry10 OS ( supporing persian keybord on blackberry z10 and z30 decives )

HI
I know this topic is duplicate but the reason that i'm creating it is because blackberry support team or developers have not done anything to fix it yet.
I agree with ehsanp and farvardinzad on they posts here and here : , this is so annoying using arabic keyboard instead of persian, but blackberry shouldn't lack in something easy and low like this . apple company supports persian گ چ پ ژ when you click and hold for ex : ک on the keyboard it show گ and you can select it and write, this is not something hard for the developers to do ! if you are saying you are restricted because of us government ? allright then we can use vpn to use bbworld and other features but keyboard is not something they restricted is it ???
i bought z10 device for using it in bussines but this is so disturbing because i can't write the right words in persian to my co-workers or employees , even my friends that have ipod are using persian keyboard. please respond to this post and let us ( iranians ) know that you would consider and respond to our several time asked favor and feature .

I'm totally agree with you, even apple company does support persian keyboard .
it is not something against us law !
does anyone know a way that we report this or request this as a feature for blackberry 10 OS to them ? it seem like their developers or cutomer support do not see this post at all !
it's so annoying in the setting in language and input in region tab you can select iran, after that everything show in persian like dates and time everything but there is no persian keyboard or at least arabic keyboard that support long press for adding this 4 alphabets.
for example right now on my lock screen it show time in persian and the date is : سه شنبه ۳ ژوئن
and in every application like text messages and etc you can see this 4 alphabets : 'گ' , ' ژ' , 'پ' , 'چ'
but we are not able to write this 4 alphabets.
please black berry fix this problem .

Top Five Feature Requests for vs. 1.1

I love my ATV and it's working pretty well - Clearly there are hundreds features we could use - and want - apparently ANYtime we can expect vs 1.1 (will that be automatic? or do we have to manually stab for it)
Curious as to YOUR top 5 ATV software - "we need it now" feature requests...
Mine?
1. Video playlists
2. 720p content from the ITS
3. independant music select for different photo slide shows.
4. smother fast forward rewind - (if this remote can even deal with that)
5. Separate main menu section for music videos - (like movies, tv shows, etc) - They seem the odd child mixed in with the audio files)
Fritz
(who just sold the farm to order the new 8 core mac pro - should have it next week - woo FREAKIN' Hoo)

Rental content!
I'm not one to buy movies/tv-shows. I watch something once, and on very rare occasion twice. If Apple wants more money, they need to figure out how to offer a rental option.
Let me rent a movie for $2 and have 48 hours to watch it from the time I start to watch it (kind of like the failed DIVX when DVD players were new to the market). This way I can start watching it, rewind, pause until the next day (hey, sometimes you get that unexpected phone call and have to stop your movie).
People who want to own a movie will see the value in paying $10 for some movie, and Apple will pick up plenty of revenue from people like me paying $1.99 a pop to rent a movie, cause we aren't buying now, nor ever will.
Renting TV shows could be nice, great way to try out a series you missed. Do something like $0.79+or- to rent an episode of show. Maybe you heard some episode of South Park was hilarious, you missed it, and it won't be repeated until who knows when, but you have no desire to "own" it for $1.99. Cough up 79 cents and you could watch it.
I think there is pent-up demand for something like this, and Apple/Movie-studios could make quite a bit of money by fulfilling this demand.

Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1

So, with 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 now officially released on the Passport and Classic, let's look forward!
What feature request(s) would you like to see included in future updates, say OS10.3.2 and beyond? Of course, there's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
Please post your feature request below, and let's make sure BlackBerry has a good reference point for user-input on what we'd like to see.
Let's simple short statements AND please add the value of your request (i.e., why that feature request has value to you):
Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
Implement a shutdown confirmation screen to the top edge power key before shutting down (many pocket carrying users complain of device shutdowns in their pocket).
Allow BlackBerry Protect to automatically backup and restore personal data, such as contacts (I trust BlackBerry to protect our data and other third party apps can do this already).
**This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
So, what would YOU like to see beyond 10.3.1?
1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!
3. Install free BlackBerry Protect today for backups of contacts and data.

Cool! I was waiting for this, there are a few things I would like to see.
OS
- No frames option (for the people that want this), this means that you swipe up it will never go to a active frame
- Keep swiping to close, when you keep swiping up it will close the app/frame (like on playbook I think it was)
- Auto reboot, choose a day, time when your phone restarts (and unlocks after reboot) this is nice for people that want their phone to reboot when they sleep so they have a fresh start and don't have to reboot during work day
- Alternative keyboard, everyone knows the BlackBerry keyboard is awesome.. but allow developers to create own keyboards (native, no android port)
- Themes, One reason why people jailbreak iPhone or use Android or loved BBOS. Themes that will totally transform your phone, keyboard, colours will be nice for people that want to customize their device
- Font type change, this was possible in BBOS. Some people like to have a different font.
- Completely light OS, this is something personal; some people like dark theme, some people like light.. but with the latest BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 it is still mixed up, some parts are light some parts are dark. When selecting light theme everything should be light, all core apps, buttons, everything, when you select dark everything will be dark, and then there will be a customize option where you can set it for each app (core apps and layout) how you want it
- Show date, time, signal always on top-option, Remember.. screenshots on internet are shown a lot, when posting a screenshot of a BlackBerry 10 app nobody knows its BlackBerry, with BBOS you always had time, signal, on top people knew it was a BlackBerry and would be nice to get this back, plus no need for swiping up to see the time
E-mail
- Able to create filters, example move e-mails from this person to this folder, and give them this colour or move everything with this word in header or subject and delete it forward it and more.
- "Out of Office", able to set out of office for work emails / accounts as automatic reply
Hub
- More colours, now there are only a few
Keyboard
- Emoij button on the keyboard (including special characters)
LED
- More led colours and settings
Cloud, Sync and backup
- Create backup from your device instead of BlackBerry link and backup them to any cloud storage (or blackberry cloud)
- Sync bookmarks and settings with your BlackBerry ID
- Sync remember with your BlackBerry ID
- Sync Wi-Fi networks and passwords with your BlackBerry ID
- BlackBerry Cloud storage (5 or 10GB free and pay for more?)
Blend
- Webblend access your phone from a secure BlackBerry website so you don't have to install any program on a computer you maybe will only use for one day.
BBM
- Multiply login, access BBM on more devices (including a web version) at the same time
- PIN transfer, take your BlackBerry PIN to your new device. I really liked my old BB pin but when I sold the device I lost it, it would be nice to be able to "keep" my BBM pin or get a personal pin
- Add user my phone number if linked, BBM Pin is awesome but allow users to also add people with phone number so you can give your phone number or pin If my contacts get BBM but forget to give their pin they will just show because I have their phone number
Device

What do you think of these feature requests for AME?

Just submitted two new feature requests and it wouldn't hurt to have other users make the same requests if they agree. The first is a really basic feature of most encoders that surprisingly AME seems to be lacking and that is the ability to append the preset name to the source filename. This saves multiple renaming of targets .. for example if I have two presets called H264 720P 1Mbs and H264 720P 6Mbs and I add these to the same target I will get {source_filename}.mp4 and {source_filename}_1.mp4 as the results - nothing there tells me how my two encodes differ and in fact how they are named depends on what order I add them in. This makes setting up a queue incredibly tedious as you have to rename every single target.
The other one is a request to be able to process multiple sources at the same time and not just a single source at a time. Sorenson tackle this by allowing the user to specify the number of targets that can be processed at the same time. If you have a powerful machine with lots of RAM then this is a no brainer.. especially if doing multiple sources to only one or two targets.

Nice requests. Just trying to be helpful here:
Re REMOVE EFFECT - ALLOW US TO CHOOSE WHICH EFFECTS
I agree - this could be quite useful. However, It sounds like using adjustment layers may be helpful for your workflow also?
Re: Increase/Decrease Volume using Keyboard for MULTIPLE CLIPS at once (between In and Out)
I've stopped using volume altogether now, and instead use 'Gain' mapped to "g" key in premiere keyboard layout. SUPER useful, for all the reasons you describe. I've never used I/O marks, but you can make big selections of clips, or a whole track's. Volume controls in Premiere, as far as I can tell, caps at +6DB for some reason. I routinely have to go much higher than that. also there is a very intelligent gain options screen that lets you bump your selected clips relatively by +/- DB levels; or set absolute values; OR set normalization targets. I LOVE IT, and its all I use now.
It seems to me that the audio component of Premiere if far more sophisticated than any other NLE I've used [ Avid MC, FCP...]. My only caveat is that volume and gain are not integrated across all methodologies. For example, you can have a volume adjustment on the clip, the track, and gain adjustments on the clip all operating independently- its alot to keep track of on projects that get passed back and forth between different editors with different methods!

Feature Request for WSUS

Feature request
Server Clean up Wizard.
Add an option to delete the entire Wsus database/files and start the download all over again.
Product Classifications.
Add an option - look only for updates where there is a computer that has a reported software usage.
It is good that a System admin does not download updates to software example Office 97, when no computer has it installed. And it is also good for Microsoft not to have Office 97 files downloaded from Microsoft servers when there is no software usage except
when WSUS is forced to download and delete.
Automatic cleanup.
A new feature, that builds upon the constant error of wsus database getting to large, and therefor cannot complete the Server Cleanup Wizard "Deleting unused updates". The feature is, run the cleanup within specified x number of days and then do the
five options without a systemadministrator interaction.

Server Clean up Wizard.
Add an option to delete the entire Wsus database/files and start the download all over again.
SenneVL is correct -- deleting the entire WSUSContent folder can be done through Explorer, although there is NO legitimate use-case in which this should ever be done, despite some very poorly written and misleading guidance available on the web to do this
very thing, for purposes which will never be achieved by doing so.
As for the database, well deleting the database is tantamount to uninstalling the role, and thus this capability already exists in the product uninstallation functionality.
Product Classifications.
Add an option - look only for updates where there is a computer that has a reported software usage.
I see this request from time to time and fundamentally it comes from a lack of understanding of how WSUS works. One who understands the basic communication pathways of WSUS would realize that this request is impossible to fulfill.
The ONLY way a computer knows that it needs, or doesn't need, a particular update, product category, update classification, etc., is because there is a *package* in the WSUS database containing detection logic that the Windows Update Agent can test against
its system configuration. Only *then* could it be known whether any given package/product/classification is needed by any system.
Ergo, the architecture of the system is [1] first get the packages, then [2] determine if the packages are NEEDED, and if so [3] APPROVE the packages for deployment to the systems that need the package.
Yeah, I'd like a system to miraculously know which of my systems need which updates too ... although how would such a system ever know that I don't WANT to deploy certain updates, like, say.. I don't install Silverlight on Domain Controllers, or MS13-083
is particularly problematic?
While it's a nice dream to have a fully automated "hands off" patch management system, the reality is that patches are built and tested by humans and therefore require *human* involvement in the process of deployment.
It is good that a System admin does not download updates to software example Office 97, when no computer has it installed.
It is also good that a sysadmin has a nominal clue about what is or is not installed in their environment before they worry about patching it! A key component of every patch management implementation is a complete software inventory. While I can certainly
understand missing the one system that still has an instance of JRE6 or Flash10 installed, I think not knowing what version(s) of a $400 productivity suite are installed is a different beast.
And it is also good for Microsoft not to have Office 97 files downloaded from Microsoft servers
Also, you could have picked a more realistic example. Office '97 has never been available via WSUS!
Automatic cleanup.
A new feature, that builds upon the constant error of wsus database getting to large
Funny you should mention this. The solution for this problem is to actually (and correctly!) use the automatic cleanup tool that's already provided in the product.
and therefor cannot complete the Server Cleanup Wizard "Deleting unused updates".
The *only* reason this happens is because the tool is not used in an appropriate manner from the time the WSUS server is first implemented!
If you *want* to fully automate it (e.g. run it as a scheduled task), that can easily by done by using PowerShell and Task Scheduler.
