A few Feature Requests for Leopard

Apple, I have a few feature requests that I would like to see added into Leopard ASAP and I am sure there are a few other here that I am missing (Please feel free to contribute to this thread).
SPACES - I want to have a different desktop picture for each "space" I create. I would also like to be able to use a combination of hotkeys to bring spaces into view and not just a single "F" key.
STACKS- This is a cool feature but would be even cooler if you could use the contextual menu on items within a stack to delete them without opening the enclosing folder.
FINDER- I would like to see the preference "Save view preferences for this window only" brought back. Some finder windows I like to view in list mode, others in column view.
TIME MACHINE - I would like an "Advanced Options" tab that would allow me to schedule my backups other than an incremental every hour. During the day when I am not at my home computer I do not need Time Machine to back up my drive every hour but perhaps every four hours. Then, when I am back at home, during certain hours I wouldn't mind its out of the box configuration.
SAFARI- A feature Safari has been constantly lacking is the ability to close the downloads window when a download completes. Another feature would be the saving of the last workspace so that when I quit and re-launch Safari I could start exactly where I left off. Now, there are third party applications which add this functionality but I would like to see it built-in by default.
These are a few things that I have found thus far that I would like to see fixed in an update to Leopard. Otherwise I would say I am very impressed with Leopard and will be recommending it to all my friends, family, and coworkers.

Actually, you need to put this on the "Feedback to Apple" on Apple's web site--it won't get to them here. This is just a user to user forum.

  • 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:

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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)

    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)

  • A few feature requests and problems

    This mail is going to have several requests for improvement on the Oracle Help for Java platform. Lest anybody think I'm just complaining, let me say that in general I have been very happy with OHJ. We (ANSYS, Inc: http://www.ansys.com) use it as the online help system for a series of engineering simulation software products which we have been developing and marketing for over twenty years. We support about a dozen platforms and have a very large documentation set and OHJ is the only online help system we have encountered that gives us reasonable performance and the features we need. So far as we can tell, it is the best cross-platform online help system available.
    That said, we have encountered a few minor problems which we would like to have addressed. I have already tried sending this to the support email address ([email protected], or something like that), but the mail is always returned with a message about internal lists not being available to outside users. (Another user complained about this in a prior thread)
    1) We have two applications which run in tandem and access the same instance of OHJ. The documentation is contained in two different helpsets, and we want to keep the helpsets separate to the user, so we have set the combineBooks parameter to "false." When the user requests help, however, the Table of Contents pane is not updated to match the helpset in which they requested help. Could the showTopic(Book book, java.lang.String topicID) method be modified to call the showNavigatorWindow(Book activeBook) method if necessary? (i.e. if the navigator window is currently visible and set to a different book object)
    2) Similarly, could the NavigatorWindow be updated if we follow a hyperlink into another book?
    3) On the Windows platform, the Help window doesn't come to the top / gain focus when the user requests help for the first time
    4) When using "dockedByDefault", the control over window size and position we had with the <wintype> tag is lost. That is, when docked, the window (navigator + content) always comes up in a fixed pixel by pixel dimension at the center of the screen. I use a high resolution screen, and the result is that I always have to resize the help window to read the content. I expect that some of our users will have similar high resolution screens. (we cater to the world of CAD). Could we have more control over the window size in docked mode, or at least have the default size relative to screen resolution in the same way we could set the wintype to 60% width and 60% height to fill a good portion of the user's screen?
    5) Have the OHJ developers (or anyone else) looked closely at memory usage? I'm using up to 70MB of RAM for a run of the help system, and I'm just waiting for users' complaints on that one. I realize this is a trade-off that you often have to simply accept with Java-based technologies, and I'm not all that upset about it. However, if we could gain the user 10 or 20 more MB of RAM, that would be something.
    6) Is there any way to combine some books and not others? (This is really grasping at straws. Feel free to simply say "no, and there never will be")
    7) The documentation refers to the capability of customizing the toolbar for different wintypes. I haven't been able to do this for the default wintype.
    The remaining few problems have to do with printing. These are really trivial issues from my point of view, as our official policy is that we don't support printing from the help system. (We provide PDF's of the manuals for people wanting hardcopy) However, they would still be nice to fix:
    1) Printed hyperlink text often overlaps neighboring text
    2) Ignoring background color when printing requires that we use media rules in our CSS. Could you ignore the background by default when printing?
    3) In our Table of Contents, we have tree nodes that point to subheadings in a file, so it ends up that a single file will have multiple entries in the Table of Contents. When using the "Print Topics" feature, the entire file is printed for each of these nodes. Could the Print Topics feature keep track of which HTML files it prints, and print each one only once?
    Again, I apologize for the many complaints (really suggestions) raised in this single post. These have been building up for a while, but between the previous state of this mailing list (completely overrun by people wanting general Java information) and the mail server errors at the only e-mail address I could find, this list just kept growing, based on our internal usage and testing. The truth is, I am very satisfied with OHJ, and am happy to find a cross-platform help system other than Sun's JavaHelp (which was way too slow for us last time I checked). Please consider this a detailed field test of OHJ 4.1.12.
    Thanks for any help and attention to these concerns,

    Wow, that's a lot! I have tried to answer all of your concerns. Here goes!
    Problems with the mailing list
    We're working on restoring the ability to send messages to our mailing list for external users. We'll post on this forum after we get that working again. Sorry about that.
    1 and 2) Automatic switching of active book when showing topic
    OHJ does not (by design) automatically switch the active book when a topic is displayed, whether it is from a CSH request or by following a link.
    3) Help doesn't come to top
    I cant reproduce this with OHJ 4.1.12 on Windows 2000. What OHJ and OS versions are you running? What options are you using on your Help object? Can you post some way to reproduce it?
    4) dockedByDefault causes OHJ to ignore wintypes size
    I reproduced the fact that OHJ ignores the wintypes size parameters when dockedByDefault is set to true. I have filed this as a bug; the height and width parameters should set the size of the content pane even if docked by default. The location parameters, on the other hand, are not supported when dockedByDefault.
    5) Have the OHJ developers (or anyone else) looked closely at memory usage?
    We certainly have looked closely at memory usage, but unfortunately this is not a problem with easy answers! :) Partially its due to the overhead Java imposes, and partially its a function of the size of your help contents metadata the number of entries you have in your keyword indices, TOCs, and (to a lesser degree) topic maps. So, the more you can remove entries from these files, the smaller OHJs memory footprint will be. (Note that you can have as many HTML files as you like; these dont stay in memory!)
    6) Is there any way to combine some books and not others?
    Sure. To combine books a.hs, b.hs and c.hs, you can create a master help set (master.hs) with these contents:
    <helpset>
       . . . various helpset parameters here . . .
       <subhelpset location="a.hs" />
       <subhelpset location="b.hs" />
       <subhelpset location="c.hs" />
    </helpset>Then instead of loading the books individually, just load master.hs.
    See the docs for subhelpset in the Oracle Help guide at http://otn.oracle.com/ohguide/help.
    7) Customizing the toolbar
    Though we have documented syntax to support customizing the toolbar for a window type, OHJ does not currently implement this.
    printing 1) Printed hyperlink text often overlaps neighboring text
    This is an ICE problem, and we are waiting on a fix from them. Sorry about that. Out of curiosity, have you tried it on various printers/OSs/JDKs? Weve found some work better than others. Id be curious whether JDK 1.4 was any better.
    printing 2) Ignoring background color when printing
    You can disable printing background colors by doing the following in your code:
    System.setProperty("ice.pilots.html4.printBackground", "false");
    printing 3) Printing multiple copies of topics in same HTML file
    Yep, this is a bug, and it is logged.
    Thanks for all your comments, and were glad that you like the product.

  • Feature Request for iphone - how to improve your battery life

    I have talked to few Apple support guys and I want to see if others have the same problem I have and support this feature request.
    Your iPhone battery can get drained very fast if you are in an area where there is no AT&T Signal. This is not unusual as other phone have same problems. With my other phones such as my old Treo, I simply put it on Airplane mode.
    But with the iPhone I can use WAP and I can get great WAP signals during the day.
    The problem I noticed is that even if I have good WAP signal, if there is no AT&T signal it drains my battery, sometimes so bad that I could fully discharge in a day where as with same usage in other areas I would have only used about 30% or so...
    So I would like to see Apple put in an option to be able to disable AT&T but keep the WAP service enabled, so this is just like Airplane mode with WAP still on.
    I have tested by having my iphone running in WAP mode and when not in use I put it in Airplane mode, then try this again with exact usage another day but not put it in Airplane mode when not in use and I can see big difference.
    The test was done in my building where there is NO AT&T signal.
    Help me AAPL, I am a big investor and have all your products, bought my iPhone on 6/29 after waiting in line for 3.5 hours. You recently added disable Roaming option for Edge, that is a great option, now add this option so we can extend our battery usage!!!!!!
    Thanks!!!!!!

    This is a user to user forum, so nobody from Apple is going to see this. You might want to resent it to Apple feedback instead: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Feature requests for LR4 beta from a wedding photographer

    I would love to see some more auto white balance algorithms.  There are many other algorithms that do an outstanding job that could be implemented to speed up workflow for busy photographers for when the lightroom autobalance doesn't work.  Some of these include:  i2e (colour science), perfectly clear, and xe847.
    These 3 algorithms also apply an auto-toning feature which, when the Lightroom version doesn't work, these might give excellent results quickly.  Photoperfect is a program that implements these 3 technologies into its interface and is excellent for quickly tweaking jpegs and tiffs.  I would love to see this same capability married to Lightroom's excellent raw conversion engine and outstanding new highlight and shadow sliders.
    A skin-tone white balance would be most welcome. Silkypix has this feature.  When there is no neutral coloured object, you can click on a skin-tone and this will often white balance the image correctly.
    More profiles would be welcome.  To use Silkypix 5 Pro as an example again, it has 6 portrait profiles--these are most useful for achieving the perfect look for your photograph.  Some are good for single light sources, while others excel at providing pleasing colour under mixed light sources.
    Sliders to fine tune noise reduction based on tone (ie. shadow, midtone, and highlight) would truly make Lightroom's noise reduction the gold standard.

    As these requests may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked?  If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.  You may even find a few of them already requested over there, so you could add your vote.

  • Feature Request For Mac OS 10.6

    I couldn't see where else to post this but....
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqcyAhWzqSo
    Already uses a couple of Mac OS 10 technologies, can you spot them?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    That's because this isn't the proper venue for such posts. If you wish to post a feature request use http://www.apple.com/feedback/. Don't post them, complaints, or bug reports here. Use the feedback site.

  • Feature Request for Adobe Camera Raw CC

    Cinema DNG Videographers / Cinema Photographers using ACR to debayer footage...
    Feature request to export / save video files directly from ACR - - > Option to create video files with fps.
    Note: The option to export video does exist within the main menu of Photoshop. However, this does not apply to image sequences when imported into ACR.
    Uses:
    Current workflow for using ACR requires applying color correction and/or image presets to footage in order to process DNG image sequences.
    When shooting Cinema DNG files the image sequence is likely to be hundreds or even thousands of photos in length. These files could be processed with ACR and no other application.
    Adobe Media Encoder does not accept 16-bit Tiff sequences (CS 5.5).
    AE and Premiere CC accept 16-bit image sequences.
    Why import into AE and CC just to set FPS?
    Why import into AE and CC just to export proxy files & additional video files?
    May be a very applicable option for 64-bit & 256-bit background processing?
    Why make this feature applicable?
    ACR is remarkable at debayering DNG images.
    ACR processes DNG files faster than AE.
    ACR enables user color-correction presets as well as secondary Look Up Tables (LUTs) to be applied to image sequences (potential investment for Kodak, Fuji and other color-correction houses).
    ACR has the potential to offer users the ability to acquire a single application for processing DNG image sequences without having to purchase an entire post-production software suite.

    Hi! Moved to the correct forum.

  • A feature request for iOS app developers...

    Guys and Gals,
    I have a feature request which I think will benefit iOS app developers  as much as it would benefit your customers.
    Any customer that has more than a handful of apps will eventually forget what some of those apps do or what makes them unique. For instance, I had not used the wonderful hotel finder, Oyster, in over a year. I not only forgot I had it, I also forgot how Oyster's service was different than other hotel finders. I had to refamiliarize myself with the app. Sometimes, this requires returning to the App Store to read the product description again.
    It would be helpful if every app had an About button that would present the product description, summarizing the app's purpose and what differentiates it from similar apps without going into the details of how to use it. 

    Apple discourages the use of About or Help buttons.
    Send feedback to Apple because this is the wrong place to ask; we are all just users like you.
