Config Settings: Commerce : Wish List tick box
I unticked the Wishlist in the above and expected to see the default red 'Save' buttons disappear from the WT site but despite re-caching the save buttons are stil there.
Is this tick box functional in the current release?
Thanks
I am not sure about the status on the tickbox functionality, but I normally removed these buttons by using an HTML comment around them in the PartPriceBlock.ascx control in the commerce folder.

App wish list - black box recorder
This might have to wait for the multitasking OS 4.0 but it would be very useful to set my iPhone up on the dash of the car and record video (in say a 1 minute loop) along with GPS co-ordinates and accelerometer readings for the entire trip. The video clip would be saved by either the user pressing a button or a preset acceleration level being exceeded.
In other words, a portable black box recorder for the car. There would need to be a Mac application to process and analyse the data from the iPhone.
There are car performance apps for the iPhone that record acceleration and braking but this goes further - recording video and GPS.
BTW - I have not come across an Apple discussion page/section that is a wish-list for apps. There is so much great work being done on App development but it seems there is very little opportunity for iPhone users to say what functions they would like.Well, wish list communications with Apple is done via the iPhone feedback page, http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Wish lists for developers would be different. Since they are outside companies that develop the apps, I would think you might be able to choose one of the others ones that supply the performance information and let them know what you are thinking. -
ProductPreviewSize and ProductThumbSize in Config Settings : Commerce
Hi,
Can someone advise exactly what the above settings affect in WT? I have tried changing them but have not spotted any difference to my images.
The UI refers to 'AutoGenerated' preview images is this comment still relevant and if so what are autogenerated images in this context?
ThanksHello,
I can shed some light on this subject.
ProductThumbSize = The size of the product images as shown in search results and list view in categories. The normal setting is small, 90x90 i believe. These are pixel ratios, so for bigger thumbnail previews you could up the number for example to 150x150. (Note, if you have specified a thumbnail to use on the Item's detail page, the system will NOT automatically resize this image. It only does the auto-generation of thumbnails for Items which only have an Image associated with them, not a thumbnail. The reasoning behind this is that auto image resizing creates a less clear thumbnail than if you have resized all the thumbnails manually. Many people prefer to create their own thumbnails.)
ProductPreviewSize = The size of the image on the partdetail page. It will not stretch the image, so if this is set greater than your image size, you will see normal sized images.
Also, you will probably want to re-cache and restart asp.net for these settings to take affect as I believe they are stored in memory.

*Is there any config settings to appear action box - Notification display?
Hi all,
When Notification set as complete we can open notification in display mode only at this point alll action boxes is not appearing.
is there any config settings to made appear action box in Notification display?
Thanks in advance
JayHi,
Since action box is to perform certain functions (like email or 8D report or transfer posting etc), and display notification means, the no function should be carried out. Thus, action box is not displayed in the display notification.
Beside that, when u click on action in action box, it is documented as task or activity which is not possible in display notification.
Thanks

question: newbie, pulled together 60 songs, tried to order them by putting them in My Wish List, and then pressing box at upper right that says "Buy All".
Nothing. Waited two hours. Tried again. Got message that "iTunes" is not functioning, order again later. What's going on? GraybackHello binbingogoABC,
Shopping on BestBuy.com should be easy and fun and not fraught with the kind of trouble that you describe. I regret very much that this has been your experience.
Using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed I was able to locate your cancelled orders. I have requested more information from my back-office partners. As soon as I have additional details about your situation, I will reply again to this message. In the interim, I'm sorry that I must impose upon your patience.
I'm very grateful that you wrote to us with your concerns.
Sincerely, -
Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.
Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks

My ipod no longer shows any contacts from my address book. iTunes when syncing in the info section - contacts - only shows the all contacts tick box, not categories such as 'family', 'friends' etc.
Any thoughts on why this is please?

Adding a tick box on checkout form to let people opt out of email listing
hey guys ive set up a shopping site and have added an extra tick box at the bottom of the check out page to let people opt out the emailing listings if they choose to.
Problem is I dont think the result of the tick shows up on my orders invoice inside the admin or email invoice sent to me when an Order is placed, meaning I dont know if I have permission to send out emails to old customers in the future.
this is the look
code looks like this
<div class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" id="EmailOptOut" value="1" name="EmailOptOut" />
<label for="EmailOptOut">Please tick box if you would NOT like to receive future promotional emails.</label></div>
<div class="item"><input type="submit" class="cat_button" id="catwebformbutton" value="Submit" /> </div>
<div class="item"><br />
</div>
<div class="item"><br />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Can I add the result to my default email or order results?
thanks
DaveThank you for posting.
You can add {tag_formsummary}to the workflow notification email under system emails. You will then get the complete webform summary in the notification email.

Not sure if anybody cares, but here are the things I'd love to see happen with the iPhone. The phone is totally ******* and I really like a lot - I just wish it had the following features:
1. Unified email in-box instead of completely separate box for each account
2. The ability to create shortcuts and liberate functions from within the "settings" menu and move them to the main page OR
3. A software update that puts shortcuts for wifi and bluetooth on the main page - I turn them both on and off constantly (much more frequently than I watch You Tube on my phone, for example) to conserve battery life
4. Better battery life when wifi and/or bluetooth are activated
5. Improved performance from the Edge Network. With a wifi connection the thing hums, but with Edge sometimes it won't even completely download email (especially if it has attachments). That is lame.
6. Let us create our own **** ringtones! It's an iPod, fer chrissakes!
7. Enable cut and paste functions.
8. In future versions put a normal headphone jack on the iPhone so connectors made for iPod (especially for car connection to aux jack) will fit in it without that crazy $10 adapter.
There's my wish list! Now, if I close my eyes and hope against hope, or maybe I should just send these to Apple...I, too, would like to see more out of my $600 iPhone. But I think most of your points are hopeless because:
+1. Unified email in-box instead of completely separate box for each account+
What's the point? Then you'll have less of an idea which message came from where.
+2. The ability to create shortcuts and liberate functions from within the "settings" menu and move them to the main page OR+
+3. A software update that puts shortcuts for wifi and bluetooth on the main page - I turn them both on and off constantly (much more frequently than I watch You Tube on my phone, for example) to conserve battery life+
Point taken, this might not be a horrible feature to have a soft button on the home page for turning on and off all -three- transmitters separately.
+4. Better battery life when wifi and/or bluetooth are activated+
This is entirely dependent on the hardware chips driving those transceivers. As such, you're dreaming.
+5. Improved performance from the Edge Network. With a wifi connection the thing hums, but with Edge sometimes it won't even completely download email (especially if it has attachments). That is lame.+
Welcome to EDGE. It's barely faster than an analog modem. Your 3G iPhone will be on the market in a year or two. Live with it until then.
+6. Let us create our own ** ringtones! It's an iPod, fer chrissakes!+
Oh yay for copyright and political issues. When you want to make a song a ringtone, everybody wants a cut. The song writer, because he wrote the song. The cell provider, because you're a member of their 'network'. And Apple because you should be buying the ringtone from iTMS.
The technical problems behind this lack of funcationality is minimal. The problem is ENTIRELY political. I wish Apple would just do it, but I think they're playing too much CYA to offend the other parties involved.
+7. Enable cut and paste functions.+
I think they simply overlooked this one. Once they settle on something that won't rip off Windows Mobile too bad, they'll implement it.
+8. In future versions put a normal headphone jack on the iPhone so connectors made for iPod (especially for car connection to aux jack) will fit in it without that crazy $10 adapter.+
Aaaaaaaaamen! This is the biggest failure of QA I've ever seen. Even normal iPod headphones won't fit!!!
All that said, I love the iPhone, really! I just want it to be the device we know it really should be. -
Wish List Updates for Snow Leopard
If you support any of the following, please send them to Apple's suggestion box.
I would like Apple to offer the following settings, preferably without third party fixes. HOWEVER, feel free to respond with your favorite work-around solutions. I need to learn Terminal!
1. Safari - close download window upon completion
2. Safari - remove ALL cookies and cached items when "resetting" same. There are always a select few that have to be manually deleted
3. Safari - have a built in video downloader/converter - Yes there are good third party solutions for this
4. Safari - allow Private Viewing as a default option
1.Pointer options - Create an option in preferences to enable the pointer to automatically go the default option selection (as is possible in that "other" operating system. You know, the one that pirated the window concept)
1. Apple mail - #1 request is identify a way to allow the numerous superior email clients interface as seamlessly with other native apps.
2. Apple mail - short of that, create a setting to turn off or allow a time setting to override an email automatically being marked as read if it happens to be highlighted with you open the app, thereby appearing in the preview pane. Appearing in the preview pane does not mean I have read it.
3. Apple mail - provide an option for creating return receipts requests
4. Apple mail - What it that box that appears around blocks of text in received mail that makes editing more difficult than it should be
5. Apple mail - Provide a tool to apply the formatting to other parts of the email (sort of like the paint brush tool in that OS with the "W" word)
6. Apple mail - If I label a sender as "not-junk" do not put label mail from this sender as Junk. I do not want all senders in my address book.
7. Apple mail - If I label a sender as "JUNK" future mail from this sender should also be JUNK, no?
8. Apple mail - Create a rule that allows "Bounce" as an option
1. iPhoto - I know I must be missing something here, so please chime in -
How or what can I do to save photos into iPhoto when I am not using iPhoto. The most common annoyance for me is saving photos off email attachment or from the web. There MUST be something I am doing wrong. Where is the "Save to iPhoto Library" option?
1. QuickTime - Please bring back QT Player 7!!!
12. I know we mustn’t use "other" browsers, but in those rare events that it happens - how nice would it be to have a native bookmark sync option or common folder?
13. Finder - allow more columns in the viewing options for Spotlight
Please feel free to add to the list.kurt188
Re: Wish List Updates for Snow Leopard
Feb 12, 2012 9:59 AM (in response to CAPTJON)
So may words, so little help. You do realize that they call this a Support Community, right?
1. Safari - close download window upon completion
Mine already does this, and I'm sure you can do it in Snow Leopard, too.
When you refer to "mine," what OS are you referring to? Are you willing to share your knowledge on where I might find this capability?
3. Safari - have a built in video downloader/converter - Yes there are good third party solutions for this
That's not the job of a browser, and it's not going to happen. Keep dreaming.
Thanks again for the helpful advice. I am impressed with our willingness to help.
4. Safari - allow Private Viewing as a default option
You can turn it on yourself. There's also AppleScript, or assigning a keyboard shortcut.
I am very aware of how to turn it on. I would prefer to leave it on by default. Care to share your AppleScript knowledge?
Apple mail - provide an option for creating return receipts requests
It's been there for years—where have you been?
Thanks again for the poweruser tip, very helpful.
1. Apple mail - #1 request is identify a way to allow the numerous superior email clients interface as seamlessly with other native apps.
That's entirely your opinion, which isn't shared by the vast majority of Mac users.
I am sorry I do not share you opinion, nor did I know you speak for the majority of Mac users. Perhaps with your superior guidance I would become a power user too?
Where is the "Save to iPhoto Library" option?
Have you tried looking at the options given to you when you receive email with attachments? There's a Save button in the Header section that gives you the option to save the image to iPhoto.
And how does this sugggestion help when downloading a photo from the web?
Perhaps if you spent time getting to know your Mac and OS X, you'd find that there aren't nearly as many "issues" as you seem to imagine.
Yes, and I perhaps if you would share a bit of your superior knowledge I would agree. That was my hope in posting to a "support community." You put a fair amount of effort into your criticism. Just "imagnie..."

Enhancements to Smartview wish list
I know the Smartview team is working hard to enhance the product and based on the presentation Toufic gave at Kaleidoscope last year, I look forward to seeing all the changes. I aslo saw a post from Matt that says the team monitors the board and with that in mind, I would like to start a wish list of a few of my favorite things. No Cameron, I'm not talking abour warm woolen mittens and brown paper packages tied up with string, but what things that frustrate me with smartview. (I'll try to leave out thinks I know are being done)
Please add to the list and be heard (I'm afraid my desires are all Essbase centric)
1. Multiple alias tables - In the classic add-in if you enter an name that is not the current member or alias, it knows what you are talking about and returns the correct name For example if I have:
Member Alias1 Alias2 Alias3
01 Jan January current
and I have alias1 selected. If I type in January and refresh, I would like to get back Jan (and the data associated with it instead of it being treated like text) This was a great trick in the classic add-in (I could define my template with current and bring back the proper month)
2. When I timeout for inactivity make it easier to get reconnected.
3. Have the smartview install have an option to install the Essbase (and/or other) apis. If I'm not using the classic add-in why should I have to install it to get the api
4. I know this has been brought up before, but allow sheet level options. It irks me to have to have to remember to change my options when I go from one template to another when they were set up the way I needed them originally. Now I have to include either a macro to chage everything or memos to remind what the settings from that sheet have to be.
5. Make it easier to switch between cubes (with slightly different dimensionality) for the same sheet. For example I have a template that looks at a cube without a year dimension and a dimension called version. I have a second cube without the viersion dimension, but a year dimension (historical cube). Trying to use the eame template to retiieve from one then the other cube gives great pain.1) Change the Data Source Manager entirely. Just make it work like the Essbase Add-in. So much simpler.^^^There aren't many times SV's design makes me happy, but I wonder how you would add on (oh, so close to a pun) the Smart Slice, multiple data sources, etc. that 11.x's DSM supports in the add-in's data connection metaphor. I like the circa-1992 dialog box myself for its simplicity, but I can see it breaking down pretty fast when all of the other functionality beyond connecting to an Essbase database (and even then) comes into play.
2) Provide the option to display both the member name and alias both in the rows like Essbase Add-in.
3) Get rid of the floating POV and put it on the spreadsheet so it will print, like Essbase Add-in.Amen to that, especially #3.
No Cameron, I'm not talking abour warm woolen mittens and brown paper packages tied up with string, but what things that frustrate me with smartview.^^Wool itches, but in a good way. SV irritates, but in a not-great-but-not-bad way. It is getting better with every release. Think about its earliest incarnations as the Planning add-in. Now that was a nasty piece of work. I am hoping with the current product team and their willingness (I have yet to see these questions/polls/open arms in any other product category) to solicit and act upon client feedback we will soon all be glad to see the back of the classic add-in. Sob.

Yahoo updated its Bizmail today. Now I've lost all tick boxes, attachment icons etc
I have lost all tick boxes, icons for attachments and actions such as Move, Delete etc. They are replaced by some underlying square with text in them. They can be clicked but its hard to know what you are doing. How can I get them back? Is there a setting I can change? There is no such issue in IE.
I'm running Windows 8 Pro on Sony VaioA tall rectangle with two rows of two characters? This indicates that the page uses a character in a font that Firefox is not able to load and not able to substitute. In the case of Yahoo, they replaced icon images with a downloadable font. (This happened in the consumer interface many months ago.)
First, let pages choose their own fonts. That is set in the Options dialog here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content > "Advanced" button
Make sure the box is checked for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts". (That's the default setting, but some users turn it off.)
If you reload the page (Ctrl+Shift+r will bypass cached files and pull everything fresh) and still don't get those characters, it's possible that font downloading is blocked somewhere else:
(1) If you use the NoScript extension: check for "Blocked Objects" on the menu that drops down from the NoScript toolbar button. You can switch an option in NoScript to allow web fonts for trusted sites. (See: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1008052 Some Unicode characters are not displaying properly])
(2) Built-in global preference (the default value is true, but some users switch this to false). To check on this:
(a) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(b) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
(c) If the '''gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled''' preference is bolded and user set to false, double-click it to restore the default value of true.
Any luck? -
CS5.5 Gripes/CS6 Wish List (from the perspective of an FCP switcher)
I have been a Final Cut Pro user for more than 10 years (starting with version 1.2 on a 500 MHz G4). Final Cut Pro X is a disaster, but that’s a well-covered topic for a different forum. After experimenting with Premiere Pro CS5.5 for a few months, I am ready to make the switch for all of my future projects.
I make a living editing video. I don’t, however, work for a big company, and I don’t have a lot of money to spend on third-party software or hardware. Much of my work is shot on DSLRs and delivered online. That may put me in the category of “pro-sumer” to some, but I wouldn’t be making the switch if I didn’t require a more professional alternative to FCPX to do my job.
I also don’t think “pro” has to be synonymous with clunky and ugly. (I’m looking at you, Avid.) When Final Cut was young, it was fun, intuitive, and sturdy. It became a robust, professional NLE over time. I think Premiere Pro is on that path now.
I like the look, the feel, and the functionality of CS5.5. It’s not quite Apple-slick, but it’s very much at home on a Mac. Overall, it’s an upgrade to FCP7 and a very strong alternative to FCPX. I have high hopes for CS6.
But this is not a comprehensive review. It is just a list of negatives: my gripes, wishes, and personal preferences. My list of positives would be much longer, but my concern right now is with CS6 and the improvements that I hope it delivers. As I am new to Premiere, it's quite possible that I am mistaken about certain functionalities or lack thereof, but I thoroughly researched each point in the help docs and forums before posting this.
My primary system is a 3.2 GHz iMac 21” (2010) with 8 GB RAM, 512MB VRAM (ATI Radeon HD), running Mac OS X 10.7 with external Firewire 800 drives and a DisplayPort-to-HDMI external display.
MAJOR ISSUES
Hardware acceleration support for ATI GPUs
There are rumors that Apple will be switching back to nVidia, but all recent iMacs have ATI and only ATI cards.
Background rendering (or at least improved rendering options)
Background rendering is probably FCPX’s most impressive feature and Adobe needs to catch up. However, even if true background rending can’t be achieved, there should be an auto-render option (after a set idle time), partial rendering (if you cancel a render, keep everything that has been rendered up until that point), and more render options (e.g. render all and render selected). Regarding that last point, I think the whole work area concept should be dropped. It makes sense for other apps, particularly for animation, but it just gets in the way of more important timeline functions while offering little functionality beyond being a clumsy way to control the area to be rendered. At the very least, have a way to hide it.
Full-screen preview
Maximizing the program frame just isn’t the same (although the grave accent key function may be reason enough to switch to Premiere). Full-screen preview isn’t just a nifty function for demo-ing sequences. It’s a big part of the way I work.
DisplayPort/Thunderbolt out to HDMI
It may be that a third-party card is required for proper color correction on an external display, but there’s no reason this feature shouldn’t exist.
Thumbnail images/show frames bug
This one drives me crazy. I’ve tested this on 3 different Mac systems with various hardware configurations. Thumbnail images in the bins and frame images in the timeline seem to be recreated every time a project is opened, even though the thumbnail image files in the media cache folder don’t actually appear to get rewritten. It’s as if there is no cache at all (even for the most recently viewed bins and timelines segments). It can’t be an intentional functionality for saving hard drive space because the cache files continue to take up more and more space.
Open multiple projects simultaneously
I know that you can cut and paste between projects but being able to open multiple projects at the same time is a very useful feature of FCP7.
Magic Mouse/Magic Trackpad scrolling
Premiere Pro is a cross-platform system and impressively so, but there need to be a few Mac-specific interface adjustments, the most important of which is support for the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad scrolling. I use a Magic Mouse. (It’s an irritating device sometimes, but once you get used to it, it’s hard to live without it.) When I’m in a window, I expect a flick up or down to scroll up or down -- in every situation, every time, including the timeline. Unless I stop using all other Mac apps, I will never get accustomed to the timeline suddenly flying left or right when I want to scroll up or down. Also, here’s a chance for Adobe to fix a problem that FCP7 shared: When you scroll up or down in the effect control window using the mouse, the drop-down effect controls sometimes twirl all over the place if the mouse happens to float over them. As it is, it very easy to throw settings into random disarray without even realizing it just by scrolling through the pane.
The timeline: selection indication, icons, and general improvements
It is very difficult to discern at a glance what, if anything, is selected in the timeline. Transitions always look selected! Audio tracks should be a different color or otherwise more distinct. There should be an option to show frames only without any text. The icons for track options are small, crowded, and ugly. Some of the editing icons are too similar, namely edit and ripple edit, although the excellent status bar at the bottom of the application goes a long way towards making up for this. Simply put, the timeline could use some polish. Don’t be afraid to steal from Apple on this one. Keep the tracks; just make it easier on the eyes!
Conforming audio
The ability of CS5.5 to work natively with DSLR footage is awesome, but it’s not fully DSLR native if it has to pre-render a major component of the footage before it can play, even if it’s just the audio.
Media loading
When launching a project, it can take a long time for all the media in the project to “load” as tracked in the status bar. I’m sure there’s a reason for this, but since the program is able to determine which source media files are missing before this step (and gives you the option to reconnect them), what is it doing and why must it load every clip in the project, even those not in use by any sequences?
Page up/page down and arrow key commands
For starters, the current page up/page down key functions should take the CTI to the next cut in the sequence, not the next cut in the track that happens to be targeted, which can be way down timeline. In FCP7, I frequently navigated cut to cut with the up and down arrow keys. I’ve avoided customizing the keyboard commands to match FCP7 -- I would rather endure some hardship and learn the proper Adobe commands -- but this one is flat-out backwards. The page up/down keys should page through the timeline (left to right and right to left), while the up and down arrow keys should take over the clip to clip function (assuming the targeted track issue is fixed). Currently, the down arrow takes you to the very end of the timeline, a function already duplicated by and better suited for the “end” key.
Bin management and clip relationships
Deleting an item from a bin should not delete it from the timeline, but this is part of a bigger problem, which is the whole master file versus instance versus subclip versus dup clip thing. There aren’t any good indicators regarding the relationships of these clips, and there are few ways to adjust them. If clips are going to be connected, then they should be fully connected. For instance, changing the name of a clip in the bin should change it in the timeline. Adding an effect or trimming should affect the corresponding clips between bin and timeline. Otherwise, the clips should just be completely separate instances. I haven’t been able to find an option to turn a clip into an independent instance, although I have to think it exists. Also, editing an instance of a title does change every other instance of that title throughout the sequence. I would prefer to be able to edit them separately without having to duplicate them in the title editor.
Bin effects
Related to the above, it should be possible to add effects to clips in bins or keep effects on clips added to bin from timeline. It would also be nice to be able to group effects together in bins for a specific project. The effects window is better suited for global collections.
Clearer visual indicators that a clip has been adjusted in the effect controls panel
Even with the effects panel visible, you have to take a close look to see if there have been any adjustments to the standard settings. An indicator on the clip in the timeline itself would be useful.
Snapping should include the CTI
It should also include the blade tool, although the Cmd-K option to cut at the CTI position does make this less of an issue.
Smoother scrubbing
Scrubbing is pretty awful. While this is understandable with native footage, FCPX somehow manages to make this silky smooth at full resolution.
Color correction shape mask and better color correction in general
Simplify the primary functions of the 3-way color correction effect. Keep all the rarely used adjustments out of the way. I use Magic Bullet for some purpose, but I’ve always done most of my color correction within FCP. Put the most common adjustments front and center (or up top, as it may be). The highlights/mid-tone/shadows drop-down is inconsistent in what controls it pertains to.
FCPX’s color correction is actually one of its more underrated features. The way it allows you to layer corrections is dead-simple yet as powerful as anything in FCP7 or Premiere. Stick with the 3 wheels, but rely less on hard to control tonal ranges and add simple keyframe-able shape masks for secondary color correction.
Better support for shared media access
AVID is king in this arena and Adobe needs to improve. It should be possible for multiple editors to safely work on the same project files and share media over a server.
MINOR ISSUES
More vertically compact playback/edit control area in source and program panes
Make room for either a taller timeline or bigger previews. The virtual scrubber and shuttle controls are the nifty things you drag with the mouse the first time you ever use an NLE and never touch again.
Larger icons in icon view
Remember size and position of bin windows
Playback resolution setting indicator
There should be an always-visible indicator of the playback res setting in the preview pane that’s easy to adjust without right-clicking.
Better markers for sequences and clips
Include colors and more keyboard shortcut control.
Clip sliding with keyboard commands
“Opt-,” (that’s Option-comma) should cause a clip collision, not overwrite. Either that, or “,” and “.” should slide, while “Opt-,” should overwrite. Opt-arrow should only extend an adjoining clip if in the middle of two clips. Basically, this whole arrangement should be re-thought.
Project browser should auto refresh/sort.
Option-drag on a Mac should always be copy, not move.
Copy is currently command-drag in the project browser.
Stop auto-save from interrupting adjustments in timeline.
Ideally, the auto-save should just be a background function, but it should at least wait until you’re not in the middle of dragging something.
Add ability to select a cut directly and add default transition.
CTI control
If you move the CTI while it’s in play mode, it should continue to play from that spot after you release the mouse, not stop there.
Show number of frames being adjusted during keyframe adjustments.
Enable/disable specific effect parameters/keyframes.
Clearing an effect should clear keyframes as well.
Or have an option to clear both.
Position controls
There should be a preference to make the default position 0.0 x 0.0 (as opposed to 50% of whatever the resolution happens to be), and include a reset button.
Through-edit indicator in timeline
And a quick way to join clips, such as a right-click menu option.
Border controls for images
Auto save location preference and functionality
In FCP7 I set the number of auto saves to keep to the maximum of 100 and Premiere can go even higher. I have always used this feature as an additional backup and archive system, which has come in very handy. Those files add up, however. So, I prefer to auto-save to an external drive. Also, auto saves in Premiere continue to occur whenever there are unsaved changes. This means that if you make a small adjustment and then leave Premiere for a while, it will keep auto saving the same iteration, which is not only inefficient but leads to my next point….
Tame the bouncing dock icon on auto save
While using other apps, there’s no need for the dock icon to bounce every time Premiere performs an auto save.
More/clearer control over cache locations
There should also be an option to reset the cache/render file locations to their defaults.
Export source range
When exporting, remember the last-used setting of the export source range (or just dump the whole work area thing as I previously suggested). It’s too easy to cut off a portion of the video when the export defaults back to the work area every time.
Larger timecode display
After spending hours and hours editing, the current timecode for clips and sequences is something you want to be able to track without squinting. Use the letters h,m,s and f instead of colons.
Simple slug
Creating a black matte works okay, but it involves a few extra steps.
Snapping toggle
FCP allows you to quickly toggle snapping while dragging a clip. Upon releasing the clip, the snap toggle returns to its original state. Premiere could use this fucntion, but I suggest something simpler. Holding down the “S” key should always turn snapping on regardless of toggle state, while releasing it returns it to however it was set before.
Ability to dock the audio meters along top
I like to give my timeline as much horizontal space as possible. I’ve noticed a lot of users keep the toolbar up there, myself included. I think it would be a good place horizontally aligned audio meters as well.
More detailed tool tips or hover explanations in preferences
For example: The options regarding XMP data should make it clear that the original files will be modified by Premiere. This caused me problems in other applications. (After researching these settings, I understand that various Adobe applications use this information to share resources, but it’s still very unclear what the specific benefits are or what functions are lost without this option.)
More detailed support documents
The online support documents on the Adobe site very good. They are nicely arranged and easy to search, but they could be more detailed and offer fuller explanations. (Peruse the support forums and you will discover all kinds of debates that could have been easily cleared up with one concise line in a help document.)
Icons and button design
Icons and buttons are often too small, too similar, and too crowded throughout the interface. Take some style tips from Apple on this one.
NEW FEATURE WISH LIST
Footage auto-analysis: shot recognition, color correction, and color match
If only Apple had just added these features and others to the FCP7 framework. Adobe can do it better though, by using smart folders in addition to the traditional bins that we know and trust (anything besides those dreadful iMovie-style “events”).
Effect previews
In the 64-bit era, there has to be a quicker way to preview effects.
Ability to render in alternate formats
Namely ProRes or DNxHD. This would save me considerable time on exports by allowing me to select the “use preview files” option.
PluralEyes functionality
Okay, I suppose I should just purchase PluralEyes...again.
Many, many more effects!
How about starting with the missing vignette effect? Just because an app is “pro” doesn’t mean you should have to custom build every effect.
Many, many more looks!
Will most of them be cheesy looks I would never touch? Sure...but give me some templates to play with before I tweak the look down to my exact specifications.
More speed!
FCPX, for all its flaws, blazes on any modern Mac. This probably comes back to hardware acceleration, but while Premiere Pro on a Mac isn’t slow, it doesn’t blow you away.You hit the nail on the head, Peter.
I recently started giving Premiere Pro CS5 a try, and was shocked by the amount of bugs and usability issues. I'm not even going as deep as you in the features, but the most glaring evidence of the lousy interface is that timecode offset bubble that appears everytime you move a clip in the timeline... the bugger appears just under your mouse pointer and won't go away, so if you try to just move a clip down a track quickly, and let go of the button ONTO the bubble, it acts as an obstacle and your drag/drop fails ! seriously, Adobe... don't tell me nobody has stumbled upon this one during beta-testing ?
Ditto on the autosave that basicly interrupts anything you're doing. No background saving in 2011 ? At first it bothered me to no end so I disabled the autosave. And then a few hours later, Premiere crashed, and didn't even try to recover my work. I lost 2 hours of intricate work. I put autosave back on, and learned to endure the constant, annoying save dialog. And it's not like the save process is instant... even the simplest of projects takes 5 to 10 seconds to save... on an SSD... come on... let me work already...
Of course, a headache-inducing implementation wouldn't be complete if the autosave didn't trigger even 30 seconds after a manual save. If I choose an interval of 5 minutes, just autosave 5 minutes after a manual save !
In thumbnail view, you can reorder the clips manually. It's all fine, but you can't reorder them by name or date or length, unless you switch to list view and of course, lose the thumbnails.
Dragging and dropping a clip in thumbnail view is a chore, because the palette doesn't scroll when the mouse reaches the edge. You know, when you want to move something at the top all the way to the bottom... so you have to drag, let go, scroll one screen, drag, let go, scroll one screen... it's a joke. Even the timeline can do it. Heck, it's a software standard, nowadays.
Renaming a clip and pressing ENTER takes you back to... the top of the folder !?! How many times I've renamed files that were at the end of the thumbnail view, and for each clip, I had to scroll back down. Time waster.
Want to locate a clip from the timeline, in the project ? the locate function takes you to the folder. But not to the file, you have to navigate towards it manually.
Ditto on the up/down arrows. I haven't found a way to jump from cut to cut like in FCP7. How often do I need to jump to the starting/ending points ? much less often than jumping to a nearby cut.
How come I can't reorder filters in the effects pane ? sorry, I can actually reorder the filters... provided I take them from the bottom and move them up. Moving effects down doesn't work. It's driving me crazy.
Conforming happens more or less anytime. Without reason. And even if the Media Cache is already full of conformed files.
When moving the boundaries of the work area, no timecode/offset appears. You need to let go of the button and THEN hover, then you'll know the exact time/duration.
Try scrolling up in the timeline, it scrolls to the left (which is stupid, it should scroll up). Now scroll up on the tabs of a palette : they scroll to the right !?!
Can't select an active track. Direct consequence : copy-pasting a clip overlaps anything that's on track 1. Say I want to duplicate clips on the same track... I can't do it.
Copy-pasting between projects doesn't keep the transitions, only the order of the clips.
Have you tried doing a frame freeze on a reversed clip and setting proper in/out points for the freeze ? Good luck.
"Duplicate" command, when you right click on a thumbnail, is way too far from the cut/copy/paste commands at the top, even though they're quite related.
The other day I transcoded footage with different audio parameters. Just the audio had changed. Upon opening the project, Premiere wanted me to locate the files, which I did. And it failed miserably. Instead, I opened the project ignoring the missing files, and then re-linked them. I pointed Premiere at the first missing file, and had to confirm the replacement. Premiere saw all the other missing files in that folder, and began prompting me FOR EACH SINGLE FILE !!! two hundred and forty three of them, precisely. Can't I have a "yes to all" button in 2012 ? and why does the relinking work inside the project and not when you open a project ?
That was just from 3 days with Premiere Pro CS5. I still can't believe it. Just to think people bashed Final Cut Pro X, praising Premiere in comparison... Sorry, but they both have serious issues. And Premiere doesn't even have the excuse of novelty. -
Because of a past experience with fraudulant charges with Apple, I wish now to pay for my downloads with an iTunes card. I purchased one for $20, logged on to my account, entered the "redeem" code that was on the new card, and then went into the iTunes store and added songs to my wish list. When I was finished, I pushed the "Buy All" button to purchases all the songs on my wish list, which totaled less than the amount shown on my account that I had downloaded from my iTunes card. But I found myself in this "loop" of needing to sign into my account (which I already was because it displayed my name) and then it would ask for the "redeem" code. When I would once again enter that same code from the back of my iTunes card, it told me it was unable to use it because that code had already been redeemed.
Yes, I had loaded that into my account, and it still showed the full amount of the card value next to my name. That did not change or show it being reduced by the amount I had wanted to purchase from my wish list, so I knew I still have that amount sitting in my "bank" waiting to be spent.
How do I access it, or better yet, get out of this loop of log in/redeem/already redeemed mess.Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
