Cp6 - Feature request (locked but editable objects)

I know I complain a lot.   But it is all for the greater good... I want Captivate to become an even better product.
One thing that greatly annoys me and I know one or more others have complained about this, is that if you lock an object, you cannot do anything with it. You cannot even select it in order to look at its properties! This is very different behavior than other tools!
If I lock an object, I still want to be able to look at its properties, edit its content - properties or text content.
So what I mean is 99% of the time, I ONLY lock an object just so the darn thing won't move!
Anyone else agree?

  • Cp6 - Change request (locked objects should never change!)

    Because of some issues I am experiencing in my Captivate project, I needed to hide a number of slides. To my utter disappointment, I found that after I unhid these slides, my locked objects/buttons lost all their "On Success: Jump To Slide actions" and defaulted back to "Continue"
    I would have grudgingly accepted this behavior, if those objects were not locked but I expect that regardless of dependencies, locked objects should never change!
    In my opinion, if a dependency is lost than it is acceptable for the internal logic can default to "Continue". Even better, display a publishing message stating that object x's dependency no longer exists.

  • [feature request] lock markers

    i'm in a project where i have around 30 markers for each scene in the 30min show. I have found that as i'm moving around using the ":" and "'" keys (next/last marker)it remains selected so when i click a region and hit delete key, it also deletes the marker aaahhhhhh. please ad lock markers

    There is only the option to lock it to the SMPTE position. But not a protection lock. So +1. If we don't get corrected by someone here that there is a hidden lock feature or why it is not implemented we could put in a request by going here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html

  • Feature request Lock workstation (Win+L) when Lid is closed ~ power manager option

    Under "Events" in Power Manager windows there are any options what should happen when you use this or that hotkey or when you close laptop lid.
    But what it really misses is an option to just Lock the laptop - same pressing Win+L
    Can you consider adding that option, when I close laptop lid to do just that?

    I don't think that would ever be a feature of power manager since locking the screen is not a power management function, but check this out:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-77008
    If your thinkpad has a camera you can configure it to lock automatically anytime there is no keyboard/mouse activity AND a face is not detected after xx seconds (including when screen is closed).  It works great and I use it on my T500.
    I realize this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but I offer it as a way to lock your screen if you can't remember to press Win+L before closing lid.

  • Feature Request - Allow direct editing of hidden OCR text to correct errors

    Examining an OCR-scanned PDF allows the OCR plain-text results to be "previewed," but in a read-only format.  We need to be able to edit this text to correct the inevitible errors.
    I just scanned a document, and the results are mosty OK, but there are two lines that are complete garbage.  I personally have never performed a completely error-free OCR scan in Acrobat or anywhere else.  Editing the image text is no solution, especially if the font is unavailable.
    Other OCR-enabled apps I have worked with expect you edit the results.  Acrobat should too.

    If Adobe won't do it, maybe somebody else will.  Nuance.com specializes in OCR, among other things.  They've also got a PDF converter.  Maybe they'll recognize the value of marrying the two.

  • Feature Request: Destructive editing with AUs in Sample Editor

    I would like to be able to apply edits destructively in the sample edit window with Audio Units like we could in Logic on MacOS9 (which used AudioSuite plugins). This is an ongoing request, year after year, among veteran Logic users. In every update it is ignored. The feature requires no redesign of the sample edit window, just another menu sub item droplist. While the bounce in place feature is a welcome addition, it is not a replacement for this feature that was removed in the migration to MacOSX and has been sorely missed ever since.
    Here's just one recent sentiment from a user on the NYC Logic Users Group:
    "I recently changed over to Logic from Pro Tools and I really miss this feature! For handling plosives and de-essing small fragments."
    I also know a very prominent producer who boycotted Logic 8 and 9 for this reason alone. While I would never do that (since I happen to love all the new features and feel comfortable with the workflow of Logic 9), I sympathize with this person's frustration over the lack of this feature. I find myself constantly in the position of wishing I had destructive editing back in my Logic tool belt.

    With all due respect, I personally cannot stand soundtrack. A lot of effort was put into the app that should have gone into Logic. As you allude to, I can trigger that Logic keystroke to open any sample editor, which is what I do. I just want the functionality back that was taken away from us many moons ago. I'm not looking for workarounds. This is just a simple feature request. But thank you for the suggestion.

  • (Harmful) edit not visible in WkiHistory in "Feature Requests"

    Maybe this should be a discussion.
    I've just removed a porn link from the Forums table in "Feature Requests for..."
    The disturbing part is that the edit I removed first appeared in Rev.233, but was not visible in the WikiHistory.  I can construct a lot of scenarios here (but I won't!) and all of them are scary.  I cannot construct a scenario with a "harmless"
    rating.
    I'm only a newbie, it's not for me to take this further.  But I am sufficiently experienced to know that a revision of best practise access control should be undertaken.  Yesterday would be a good time to initiate it.
    Gordon.

    Hi Richard -
    Thanks for answering.  It's the comment to the edit that's missing.
    I believe (I have not tested) that blank comments are not listed as part of the edit, so all we get is the user's edit listing, but no clue of what was done in the edit.
    I draw your attention to Wikipedia, where all parts of the edit are summarized in the History List.  I don't believe the Technet Wiki History needs that amount of data, but OTOH that is the sort of thing computers excel at.  But I do believe Technet
    Wiki should record blank comments as well as filled comments.  Maybe a blank comment could be filled with the first 10 or 20 words of the edit?
    Gordon.
    Okay, please add the feature request to the Wiki section:

    You removed a dead link and a spam link!
    And the history tab showed me all that!
    We're actually thinking of migrating to the Wikimedia platform. Then that would give us your feature request. But it's best to capture it on our list so we don't lose sight of it.

  • Feature Request: Support for External Synths/Modules (via MIDI)

    Hi,
    I just posted a feature request (via the Apple Feature Request form) but also wanted to post here. I use a combination of hardware instruments (sound modules) and software instruments.
    *My Setup*
    - Keyboard #1: M-Audio Axiom 25 (also includes a USB MIDI interface)
    - Keyboard #2: Roland A-33 Controller Keyboard (via my Axiom-25's MIDI In)
    - Edirol USB MIDI Interface (sound modules plugged into MIDI Outs)
    - Sound Module #1: Roland JV-1080
    - Sound Module #2: Yamaha TX802
    MainStage currently takes care of all my software instrument needs, however, what is missing is the ability to add external physical MIDI devices as either patches or as channel strips. I would like to use a combination of software and hardware instruments in the same song, and control this via Mainstage.
    Example:
    - Patch 1 could potentially contain 2 software instruments, each seperately controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently possible)
    - Patch 2 could contain 1 software instrument and 1 external sound module each controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently impossible)
    - Patch 3 could contain 2 external sound modules, mapped to different ports and/or channels, and therefore independantly controlled by my 2 keyboads (this is also currently impossible)
    Would I be correct in assuming that this is a fairly common limitation of MainStage?
    Message was edited by: olafwagner

    I have achieved MIDI out from Mainstage, thank to the information found on this forum..
    what I actually do is send Prg Change from every preset I select to control a hardware vocal harmony pedal. this way i don't have to remember which setting i use on every song or even, section of a song.
    *Step 1:*
    Library>application support>Logic> create a folder named precisely MAINSTAGE CALLBACKS
    inside of it, create an applescript with this code
    on action(parameter)
    set myprogramchange to programchangenumber of parameter
    tell application "MidiPipe"
    MIDISend toPort "MidiPipe AppleScript Input" withData {192, myprogramchange}
    end tell
    end action
    *step 2*
    download MIDIPIPE from http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/
    and install it in your apps folder
    *step 3*
    start midipipe, and define the following modules
    MIDI IN-> use applescript input from menu
    MIDI OUT-> route to your midi interface desired output
    save this to a Midipipe file you can easily access
    Now, when I go to a gig I FIRST (this is important) load midipipe and my preset, and just hide it and let it work in the background
    Start mainstage, and set the program change of every PATCH to what I want to be sent over MIDI OUT when I enter the preset (-1 if needed or modify the previous applescript).
    Ok, this just gives you Prg change... if you want something like CC or others, you can look at some of the example files on midipipe, and write your own applescripts to be used from a control within mainstage (you know, select a screen control, and assign it to an applescript located in library>application suport>logic>Mainstage scripts. you have to tell the applescript to receive incoming data from mainstage and send it (with even some filtering or transforming) to midipipe to go to the outside world.
    One last idea: i used a free plug-in called MIDIIO that, although the plugin analysis on mainstage might say does not pass, you can use it anyway, and lets you insert it as if it was a plugin instrument...then you just route your screen controller to a MIDI parameter on that track, and there you go...but in the past it was not as solid as the midipipe solution.
    I am still investigating...I am pursuing having my hardware controller knobs to follow screen settings everytime I just change a patch, but lack some info on how to get parameter values when entering the patch ¿anyone knows, blueberry, zuelito...? I promise to share the results!
    best

  • Rejected feature request - Tabbed Interface

    Hello,
    first: I accept the decision to reject a feature request.
    But: is there a special reason to do so, since Tabbed Interface is among the top weighted requests.
    At the moment I have >50 connections because I have to support and develop more than one application each with production and at least 3 test DBs. Each connection has 20 nodes for types (tables, views...) each type has x nodes for objects. Thats a lot of scrolling to do. Closing the nodes after selecting an object is not really helpful, because then you have to open them again to select another.
    If not tabbed, perhaps splitting the connections is possible: one frame for the connections and below a second frame for the content of the selected connection.
    Regards
    Marcus
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:39:2176755897334077::NO::P39_ID:2001

    For me this is definitely in my Top-5 of requests. Shame it's rejected...
    I imagine the change would take so much time and effort it's undoable right now... but after a few years when sqldev is more mature?
    It probably would imply changing the framework also, which is competence of the JDeveloper team.
    I see the reasons for postponing, but plainly rejecting?
    Hoping on a future revision of the request,

  • Feature Request: Several Key Items

    I am not really new to DPS. Have been publishing under contract for my client for the last 2 years now and it's been going great. However, there seems to be a few things we wish for that we can't seem to do. I figured this is probably the best place to request these features, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that somehow these make their way into an update or are considered maybe for other program features (you'll see what I mean later when I get into it).
    1) It would be nice if we could produce apps for android phones as well as tablets. I am more of an iOS guy but we do have a bunch of users who want to access these folios on their phablets and android phones but cannot get access to it. I don't know how complicated this process might be but it would be a great feature to add in any upcoming DPS releases.
    2) We are using DPS for publishing but we have been requested to use it in an "app style". The client wants this because they are comfortable with DPS and happy that their staff can use pretty much all the adobe suite programs. Maybe an ability to disable the browse toolbar (where the thumbails for articles show up and navigate). This way we can create a single page with MSOs and trick the user into thinking they're in an app instead of a digital magazine publishing platform app. This would work great for companies that want an app to accompany their magazine and display info about the company, how to reach them etc instead of having certain pages within the magazine.
    3) A muse widget. I would love if we could directly export muse files directly into DPS (say, as if we were importing an image). I know this may be much to ask since this isn't the Muse feature request board but it woudl be nice to be able to export it as a widget that will automatically package it into an element with all the required files to import into DPS.
    4) As muse and DPS are both great apps for designers who don't know how to code, maybe one or the other, or creating an app that is based off of the two could be an excellent choice for deisgners. There is a huge gap in the market for app builders. Muse is mainly a web builder and DPS is mainly for publishing. I think if Adobe could maybe mash the two into an app that helps users build basic apps. Imagine being able to make an app the same way you do in DPS? Having preset widgets such as capture image from camera, use geolocation, upload to server or whatever. I'm not too verse in this but it'd be nice if I could use an Adobe app to build an app that wasn't just a digital magazine. Maybe my lack of knowledge in this area is simplfying the whole process so forgive me if that's the case. From a business perspective it just seems that there is a huge gap for this, and maybe Adobe can conjure something up for the Adobe Faithful.
    5) Automatic web viewer. Would be nice if whatever displayed on my iPad can automatically shoot up into a web viewer linked to a business catalyst account or a specified server as an HTML5 file. Again, I haven't gone too much into the web viewer version so forgive me if this already exists, but I have looked through some documentation and not really found much on it.
    6) WIDGETS! More widgets like muse would be a life saver! Maybe something like a slideshow instead of just having the MSOs fade in and fade out, maybe allow a widget to do a slideshow that snaps into place everytime you swipe. It seems more natural since a lot of the apps function this way. Widgets also open up a lot of doors, maybe allowing users to create their own widget and housing a widget library on the adobe website?
    Just some thoughts, not sure which ones are really doable but I figured it's worth a shot requesting them.
    Thanks for your time!

  • Anyone want to back up my feature request?

    Yes I realize this board is for technical issues, but I need to hear if anyone else agrees with ny gripe. Apple has a page for feature requests and I hope I'm not the only one who'll use it for this:
    I think Apple has left a huge gap in the custom specification options for the new iMacs.
    I'm probably not ordering one until someone out there has tested a safe way to D.I.Y. the option I'm looking for, since I'll have to void my warranty if I do.
    I think the Fusion Drive is a neat idea - for some. But I don't need it. For storage I already have plenty of external drives. It's just too expensive per GB.
    I don't want the 7200 RPM SATA drive because it's just not fast enough for me. Once you go SSD you never go back.
    I don't want the 768GB SSD Drive becuase it's just *silly expensive* - I mean $1300 - really Apple?
    So why can't I order my iMac with a small SSD somewhere in the range of 128-320 GB? I can get one for my laptop so it's not like you don't have them lying around. I only need it for the OS and Applications. I can store my own data elsewhere. 

    Yeah exactly what I wrote.
    I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who has noticed this, and I'm asking others to take notice and back me up by making a similar feature request.
    But yes- I neglected to mention the URL. if anyone else wants to back my request up, write to Apple here: apple.com/feedback

  • FEATURE REQUEST: Sticky editing of feed info

    I love iTunes 6 on Windows as pod-catching software. It's great. But a minor feature request.... (since I don't see anywhere else on Apple.Com for iTunes feature requests, I'm posting it here).
    Most podcast authors seem to do a lousy job of creating intuitive feed metadata information (Artist, Description). And since podcasts seem to be sorted by default on my iPod by Music > Podcasts > [ARTIST FIELD], I always edit the Artist Field in iTunes before I sync with my iPod. I do this by selecting all items in a feed group, right clicking, choosing Get Info, and editing the Artist field to something short which makes sense to me.
    However, this edit isn't sticky. When new items in a feed are downloaded to iTunes, they have the original Artist field. So I have to edit this a lot.
    What I'd like is to be able to edit the Info of the feed once in iTunes. Then, every time a new item is downloaded to that feed in iTunes, I'd like iTunes to go ahead and edit that item's info to match my sticky feed setting. This way, I only need to edit the info once when I add a new feed, and each item subsequently downloaded will inherit those settings.
    Make sense? A "power user" feauture, I'm sure. But it'd be nice....
    Dell Dimension Windows XP iTunes 6, 20GB iPod
    Dell Dimension   Windows XP  

    Can't be done currently. Interesting idea, though.
    However, I've found that podcast creators tend to be pretty responsive to criticisms along these lines. I've had this same problem with some podcasts, and after I mentioned it to them, they started tagging their podcasts appropriately. Some of them even started adding "album art" after I explained how it would show up on newer iPod's when playing the track, if the iPod user uses iTunes.
    I'd email the podcast author and let them know what's up. This is generally a better long term solution anyway, as it helps everybody.

  • How can I save an image in a pdf that can not be removed using 'Edit Object' feature in Acrobat X?

    I have a pdf that has an image of a seal contained it it. I'd like to send the document out to other people but don't want them to be able to remove the seal using the 'Edit Object' feature under 'Tools' in Adobe Acrobat X. Can someone tell me how to do this please? Thanks in advance!

    Apply a security policy that prevents editing. This is not a 100%
    fool-proof protection, though, but it will work in Acrobat.

  • SEM-BPS 6.0 error message requested data cannot be locked but at 999 row?

    Hi all,
    We are using SEM-BPS with WIB and EP 7.0 and I encountered issues for the first time.  I normally avoid configuring layouts with large hierarchies but at this one the client insisted.  They are in testing right now and selection of relatively small node (approx. 10-20 cost centers) still gave us an error message. 
    I know layouts has a limit of 9,999 rows and we should have been okay since it is about 200-300 lines per cost center but we are getting the error message below and it mentioned a limit of 999 rows in the selection table..  Any way we can change that?
    Thanks,
    mary
    Requested data cannot be locked (-> see long text)
    Notification Number RSPLS092
    Diagnosis
    In order to edit data from InfoProvider 'ZYEE_C02', the requested data has to be locked exclusively for user 'YEESU01'. The data that is currently being requested is specified by a very large selection table. In order to lock the data exclusively, the system has to store a compressed version of this selection table on the SAP standard lock server. However, the compressed selection table still has more than 999 rows. So that a reasonable number of users are able to change data at the same time, the system limits the number of records allowed in a selection table to 999 records.
    Information on Context of Lock Request:
    Lock requests can come from BI-Planning or from BW-BPS. The context specifies the following information:
    BI-Planning: for a lock request from a query, {Planning Function} for a lock request from a planning function.
    BW-BPS: {Planning Area}{Planning Level}{Planning Package}{Planning Function}{Parameter Group}. For lock requests from manual planning the following is true: Planning function = '0-MP' and the parameter group is the technical name of the planning layout.
    InfoProvider 'ZYEE_C02' is always a Basis InfoProvider. The current context information is:
    '{0-ADHOC}{0-MP}'
    System Response
    The requested data cannot be locked.
    Procedure
    You can normally only avoid this by simplifying your selections. For more information, see the documentation on this.
    Procedure for System Administration

    Hi Mary,
    in RSPLSE you use the option that the BI lock table is maintained in the SAP enqueue server. Here there is a limit - as explained in the long text of the message - that the compressed selection table for one enqueue request should not have more than 999 rows. This limit can not be changed.
    The selection table seems to be very big, since the compression factor is at least 5. So please check your selection table:
    1 check whether you can make the characteristic causing the problem not lock relevant
    2 or use the second option that the BI lock table is maintained in a shared memory area of the central instance of the system.
    But it is better to keep the selection tables small, e.g. by making some characteristics not lock relevant.
    Check sizing note 928044, e.g. in case you want to use 2. The default setting is very small.
    Regards,
    Gregor
