Enhance request: Tag poeple in your photos

I sent an enhancement request to Apple, but maybe there's a plugin or something that already do this?
My request:
"It would be really, really great if you had the possibility to tag people in your photos with the people that are in your address book!
Example:
You select the "Tag" function, and the cursor turns into a transparent rectangle. You place the rectangle over the face/body that you want to tag. A popupmenu appears where you can choose people from your address book.
This can be used in many ways, for example from the Address Book application, like "Show photos in iPhoto containing this person".
Great, right!?
(FaceBook have a function like this, but to have it directly in iPhoto would be perfect (especially since I don't like FaceBook))"

I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 25k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Automatic facial recognition / person tagging in your photo albums

Hello, I have just installed ilife 08 and am looking around iphoto. I'm glad improvements are made to the way you can organise your photos.
I had an idea, and wanted to know what Apple thought about it, or even if they are developing such a thing already. Then maybe you can tell me what's planned.
What about developing the software so you can 'tag' a face in a photo (jarmanje for example), and then all of your photos are automatically searched through for a match of this face. Then a 'tag' can automatically be added to the photo with the face, making it brilliant for searching for all photo's which the person who you want to search for is in. I'm sure it won't pick up every photo with you in it, but it would get a lot.
Seems like it would be possible with such technologies having been already developed for security systems etc?
Regards,
jarmanje

Enhancement Request to delete selected photo/video from mobile app / LVR2

Hi, I have enhancement request for action Cam: HDR-AS100VR. Please give ability to delete photo/video from either the PlayMemories mobile app OR the RM-LVR2 device. As the only option is to format the microSD card. It is a hassle to connect to computer to delete specific photo/video from the action cam. With the current functionality to copy/share (from mobile app) as well as playback from RM-LVR2 ; I believe Select and Delete function is not a difficult things to do If Sony doesn't have time to do this, perhaps Sony can make API available for public? Thanks

Apparently this request is captured in http://community.sony.com/t5/Join-the-Inspiration/HDR-AS100V-Firmware/idc-p/499577#M1090 Closing this thread now

"An error occurred while trying to save your photo library..."

Installed iPhoto6.
Started app. It said it would take a few seconds or minutes to upgrade.
About 6 hours later after churning on thumbnails it is now claiming this error over and over with some time that goes by in between:
"An error occurred while trying to save your photo library."
"Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder."
It says I have 22,759 photos in Library. The Library was a subset of my images, named "iPhoto Library 2005" and it was intentionally kept below the 25,000 limit of iPhoto5.
Since Steve claims iPhoto6 can easily handle 250,000 photos, I clicked on the upgrade button with confidence. This now appears to be a mistake. Last night I was working on an iDVD for the local school and the majority of that work has simply vanished. There were 320 photos. I spent hours adding keywords, ranking, adjusting temperature, focus, exposure, etc.
Of the 320, only 16 photos survived. They are 16 in a row from the middle of the roll near the end but not at the end. The roll name was lost. The name is now just "Roll 226" and none of the photos have keywords. I know at least one of the 16 should have the keyword "DUPE" and the ranking 2 STARS since it precedes a double that I ranked 2 during a slideshow, sorted by ranking, and dragged to the DUPE keyword. All 16 should have the ACROCK keyword which I initially assigned to all photos.
Again, 304 of 320 have vanished and the 16 that remain have no keywords or rankings.
I watched the slide show in iPhoto5 three times with different music candidates so I know the keywording and rankings evaporated in iPhoto6. I also clicked ACROCK and option clicked DUPE and POOR so that all of the music program photos except dupes and poor images would vanish. I only deleted one photo so there were not a lot of changes to the library in terms of photos in it. I cannot think of any reason why the 16 chosen survived. Only two were placed in a DVD dropzone and they are scattered amongst the 16 survivors.
Also, the ACROCK and DUPE keywords are also gone while the POOR keyword added in August is in the keyword table just fine.
I exported these 320 photos last night to iDVD and tried almost all of the different themes and I dragged about 10 different photos to the dropzones, hit play, hit motion, etc.
It seems very strange that 16 photos from the middle of the pack would survive.
It seems extra odd that iPhoto5 and iDVD treated these as "established" photos, not photos hanging in the wings somewhere ready to vanish in an upgrade.
I gracefully saved and quit iDVD and iPhoto5 and there were no crashes and nothing strange happened while making the DVD. I was hoping today to try out the new themes and maybe find one that is just right for the kids. Instead, about 300 of 320 photos of the kids went bye-bye along with all the work on the photos!
I'm nervous that many more photos are missing but I will need to do a ton of checking to see what else has been deleted by the upgrade.
The user message that iPhoto6 presents is nearly useless and strange. It offers little if anything to go on in terms of a repair procedure. After saying an error has occurred, it says some recent changes could be lost but doesn't expand at all on what they may be or why.
From my experience, recently added photos, keywords, keyword assignments, rankings and maybe more can all be lost. To compound matters, before the upgrade it says that you cannot go back to the prior (working!) library in iPhoto5. Beware!
It finishes by suggesting two vague steps to take. The first is to make sure your disk has "enough" space. How much is "enough"? It doesn't say something like X GB available, Y GB needed. A user would have no clue about how much space to free up. I have over 17 GB and assumed that would be enough. I sure hope it doesn't require double the space of the existing library. I would hope it has a smarter algorithm than that since 23,000 photos at about 3 MB each maps to about 70 GB. That's a lot of "temporary" space to require to perform an upgrade. Since the upgrade/error message provide no details (unlike package installers which supposedly tell you how much space you need), users like me would have no clue if 70 GB is plenty or not enough.
I found 24 GB secretly used by iPhoto 5 for an iPod Photo Cache and a tech bulletin saying this just grows and grows without control and it can be deleted SO I wouldn't put huge hidden disk usage past iPhoto6.
The last none-to-helpful suggestion is that a user make sure that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder. Huh?!??!?
Wouldn't this be a great thing to confirm via software before setting about on 6+ hours of work, especially if there is an error message hard-coded in the software confirming that Apple knows the result may be losing valuable customer photos and hours of work on enhancing, keywording, creating DVDs, etc.?
Of course. This appears negligent. To know that customer file loss will likely result but not checking these things out in advance before taking that risk seems like putting the cart before the horse at customers' expense & pain and certain loss of irreplaceable family photos (for the, say, 80%+ of iPhoto users that "plan" to get a backup routine established?).
I got burned in the iPhoto5 upgrade as well, losing photos, so I was sure to have a backup so it wouldn't happen again. Most I fear won't be so fortunate so be advised of the risk and work with copies of your photos only.
Also, why would iPhoto5 have all the permissions it needs to store, edit, tag and otherwise work with 320 photos added last night? Why would version 5 have plenty of permissions to use the folders and the photos in them. Why would iPhoto 6 suddenly lose those permissions or not have enough? This hardly makes any sense. The only way the permissions were set, the iPhoto libraries got created and the albums got created was by dragging a folder of images onto the albums pane in iPhoto5. So, iPhoto5 set all the permissions, everything is under one user account and there should be no surprise permissions for iPhoto6 to deal with.
It seems unbelievable that iPhoto 6 couldn't do what iPhoto 5 was doing. I never changed permissions and never touched files in the iPhoto 5 structure.
I can only guess that recently added keywords, recently added photos and recently added rankings and keyword taggings linger in some at-risk staging area that a version 6 upgrade doesn't know how to deal with. This seems like a lame way to code this app so I don't consider this a good guess but what else could it be?
Anyone else have a better hunch at a root cause?
Anyone else have an idea of a cure?
Anyone else run into this?
It sure doesn't look like there was a test case for having near 25,000 photos (an iPhoto 5 documented requirement), working with the latest roll and then doing a version 6 upgrade because it failed miserably--user data loss--without any special effort to find defects. In a former life I tested software and released software was much more difficult to break than this.
I would appreciate any other user experiences/solutions related to this problem. I am reluctant to import another 22,000 photos from iPhoto Library 2004 only to find more photos go poof without any rhyme or reason.
Thanks in advance for your help and I hope this alerts others to a potential for valuable photo loss (i.e., back up before you upgrade, verify iPhoto Library permissions--whatever that means--and have scads of disk space available assuming there's any truth to the error message!).

G5 Dual 2.7 GHz 2 GB DDR SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I'll check if I have copies of copies of copies. This could take a while due to the number of files.
I picked up a brand new 300 GB Western Digital hard drive thinking 20GB or so was not enough for temp files for upgrading and/or importing.
I formatted it as a mac os extended, journaled drive, not case sensitive, one full-size partition. I started iPhoto6 with the option key. I had a CF in my other WD 300 GB (with media reader). iPhoto6 asked about the photos on the card. I told it not to download those (again). Because I was holding the option key down, iPhoto6 asked if I wanted to select a different library or create one. I created one on the brand new, 100% empty 300 GB drive. I'm not sure if/where iPhoto6 creates temporary/cache files (like iPhoto iPod Cache folder) as it sets up a new library. I was hoping the empty 300 GB drive would give it ample room to load an existing iPhoto5 library.
When I dragged an old iPhoto5 Library onto the new iPhoto6 Library Album pane. I saw the "Importing..." start and it went on and on and on and... I let it run for HOURS and HOURS. When I checked around midnight, it had crashed. When I started it again, it said it had run across some huge number of stray photos.
I have no idea why iPhoto6 would have trouble importing an iPhoto5 library that was below the 25,000 photo mark for 5. This is especially bizarre since iPhoto6 claims it supports 250,000 photos!
I'll be trying to figure out if these stray photos got imported as dupes, if they lost iPhoto5 keywords, etc. I fear something different but equally bad happened since the number of photos it came up with was like 79,000--again many stray photos that didn't make it into the first import for no known reason. Since libraries in iPhoto5 were around 25,000 or less, I'm not sure what's happening.
Maybe there's a cache or temp file still created on Macintosh HD and not on the empty new 300GB drive and a bug exists for imports when space on Mac HD is "low" (i.e., under 3.5 GB). Maybe it's seeing thumbs as files it should import? Maybe it's seeing Orig and Modified images as worthy of reimporting?
I had told it not to import dupes but who knows if it goes by file name, checksum, byte-for-byte comparison, etc.
I'm not sure if I can even pull up iPhoto5 and 6 at the same time now to scroll through the libraries to see if dupes, thumbs, original/modifies/etc. are showing up to boost the count from under 25K to 79K!
Ideas? At least I know I'm not the only G5 dual user with this problem!

Enhancement requests do seem to be worthwhile in the end...

Having requested the continuous/shuffle music video playback several times in the last 18 months or so, and urged people to do so via...
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
...it has finally been implemented and I'm chuffed to bits.
Well done Apple, this is a superb enhancement though why so long to implement ?
Personally I feel this was a huge oversight for AppleTV ever since it was realeased, and seriously hindered both use of AppleTV as a media extender and obviated the point of buying music videos unless you watch them on portable devices which I don't.
I had become increasingly negative about the prospect of ever seeing this feature
appear - this cat doesn't wear a hat so I'll have to eat something else instead!
I am now likely to spend a fair amount on music videos at iTunes Store having vowed not to do so again as having to select each one manually to play was tedious to say the least.
Really baffles me how Apple have missed the opportunity for revenue from music video sales via AppleTV, particularly when iPods had the shuffle feature.
As I commented a few weeks ago I think perhaps priorities since 2.0 update have been to get the store up and running properly before implementing enhancement requests or new features.
Very pleased Apple have finally implemented this extremely useful feature, it may not be pointless in using the link above, it just takes time.
So the next thing we should do is think of things to officially lobby for in future updates.
My top 3 would be:
1 - Allowing connection via USB to rescue data from AppleTV for users who've had hard drive accidents/msihaps and haven't backed up recently - fact of life it happens even if you're careful! Files with DRM are safe from unauthorised use and those without DRM are no less secure than they were before anyway. This could even be done by only allowing AppleTV to dump media to an external USB device instead of allowing an external connection to AppleTV itself, and could be controlled from say a backup menu option. Alternatively full manual bidirectional drag and drop of media via iTunes to/from AppleTV could be implemented with a mode to prevent a new sync library connection wiping existing content.
What's in it for Apple? Huge boost in consumer confidence that Apple allow them to easily recover their personal files in the event of a problem - there should be no need to hack or dismantle AppleTV just to get at your data. Just think of all those people saying thank heaven I had an appleTV as my Macbook died and I'd forgotten to backup those wedding photos etc. We see examples of frustrated users almost daily with this problem.
2 - Additional codec support - it's all very well saying h264 is the best thing since sliced bread and the current Apple/Apple Store standard, but the limited video codec support is probably the biggest hindrance to AppleTV becoming an extremely popular media device. It has the slickest interface of commercial products but many prospective customers have files in long established older formats that are incompatible without prior time consuming and quality degrading transcoding. Locking down AppleTV in this way alienates many potential users. The argument about the source of files in other formats may have some validity, but it is not Apple's job to infer that a user's file is of dubious origin simply for not being in h264 format. I am not condoning filesharing/torrents etc merely saying that most people have older files in older formats they want to use without conversion. Many DVD players allow playback of DivX (never use it myself), and if there's a licensing issue offer playback as a per device plugin option paid for by the user in the same way the QT MPEG2 pluging is offered.
What's in it for Apple? Happy customers who would simply use something else like a PS3 to view their files and not buy AppleTV. New customers who would not have purchased otherwise. Happy customers who no longer need to trasncode files to watch. You'd be happy with being able to use older files, but would also get the benefit of using iTunes Store for new things.
The overhwelming thing would be a sense of 'fair play' gained by the consumer. For me personally since 2.0+ the device's overwhelming iTunes Store based menu design sticks in the craw and has relegated MY content to the bottom of menus. Give us the best of both worlds - an iTunes Store top level section for purchases and separate simple top level sections for combined personal/purchased media as in software 1.0/1.1. In essence declutter the menu system for playback lumping all the purchasing/preview/search options together.
3 - Tricky. Most useful would be an AppleTV SDK and 3rd party plugins/apps via iTunes paid and/or free similar to the iPhone model - I can live without widgets/visualisers/social networking plugins etc but they would be valuable to many users. As far as I know the iPhone Apps have been a huge success - no reason why not on AppleTV too, though commiting to this pathway would probably be very expensive in terms of developing a secure/sandboxed environment for running apps/plugins unless they could port the iPhone software fairly simply.
Anyhow, once again delighted Apple have added the music video feature - I will start buying music videos from iTunes music store again. Bad for my wallet but good for Apple and AppleTV. Perhaps I should be thankful and consider how much I've saved not buying music videos in the last 18 months or so.....
What would you like to see? Some things will be impossible/hardware limited, others quite feasible.
Discuss, but also use the formal feedback link to give enhancements any chance to appear!
Let's all help make AppleTV a success, and hopefully the media extender to beat!

to be honest, adding playlists (or whatever it is) for just music videos is of no use to me.
it is playlists for tv shows that i need. ie the capability of playing episode 1 to 5 of a particular season back to back.
Funny isn't it, how we all do things differently, have different preferences, enhancement wishes etc.
For me it's not really a big chore to watch an episode then to manually start the next assuming I or Mrs AC are still awake!
For episodes of short duration say 5-15 minutes I appreciate this could get annoying, and for longer episodes I suppose we are used to Play All type options on DVDs.
If these are iTunes TV Shows you're stuck at the moment, but if they're say 'home recordings converted for AppleTV' you could theoretically get round it by setting their types to Music Video. Clumsy but it should work.
I'm sure you can see the benefit of playlists/shuffling for music videos that may be 3-4 minutes each on average. I rediscovered dozens of iTunes Store music video purchases last night and thought 'yes, this is one of the big reasons why I bought AppleTV initially' - it did not say anywhere that AppleTV could not do this somewhat logical task - assumptions are dangerous though and invariably you only find out the full capabilities of products when using them.
additional codec support ? i would say there is no chance of this. x264 is pretty standard theses days (if you discount the pirate industry). x264 is even used for HD TV in the UK.
I agree, there's more chance of Tony Blair making a comeback!
Piracy is rife and I do not support it.
My views on fair use of media you personally own are quite different.
It's not the codec/container that's the issue it's how the material was acquired in the first place - it may simply be your home videos, digitised off-air recordings etc that is in a 'legacy' format that you don't want to transcode. We know from the modders that most other SD formats are playable on the current hardware so that's not the issue.
Take say an Elgato EyeTV device - I can record anything off-air, edit and transcode for AppleTV or just transcode unedited automatically. How much more sensible it woudl be if AppleTv simply supported the MPEG-2 transport stream playback rather than wasting time and computing/power resources doing the transcode.
I have some some standard video-CDs I made on a PC in the late 1990's, how nice it would be to be able to play the MPEG-1 content back without fiddling - it's not as though converting to h264 will do anything for the quality!

Tags, Keywords - tagging and filtering/searching photos - an other `advanced search`

Hello,
I'd like to know, who of you would like new functionality on handling tags for filtering/searching photos (as a replacement of the `advanced search`)
(I noted it in German - sorry, I'm not used to write in English...)
The goal is, to use the same Tag-structure to tag photos and also to filter them (most likely as you could do that with PSE 9 ) .
I don't want this `advanced search` window, that takes a lot of space - I want to see my photos, not a hug program border... ;-) )
What's your opinion?
Regards
Thomas

Helllo Robert,
Thank you for your answer... ;-) - at least I'm not alone... ;-))
Well, if you only want to not to show up the `waste of space` - you can click on the ^ symbol most right in the top of the search area (next to the X symbol).
You can also put away tags from the filter by double klicking on them in the bar on the top of photos.
But you
- can not mix up AND/OR and NOT selections.
- can not enlarge the advanced search space to the whole screen - so, with many tags the selection of a specific tag is annoying
(since there are no optical differences like color and symbols as it does in the tags-tree)
How can we report that to adobe so they will enhance their product for us... ;-))
Regard
Thomas

GOOD FEATURE ENHANCEMENT REQUEST: Locking Projects

I have an excellent Feature Enhancement request for iLife '08 & wanted to post it somewhere in hopes it gets to the hands of the right people that can make things happen so I'm not wasting 5 minutes posting.
I (like anyone) like saving my iLife Printed Books, Calendars, etc. on my MacBook so I may always order more copies if needed. However, I fear somewhere somehow someone will be playing on my Mac & will accidentally move stuff around or even delete text / words / layouts / effects from an iLife printed project of mine which I ordered & may want to reorder years down the road.
*I'd like an advanced options area with options typically displayed in any kind of publishing software. Options in mind include "Group Objects", Ungroup Objects, Lock, Unlock, etc.*
Does anyone else here agree with me??

To add to Larry's suggestion....passwords and protected accounts are always good:
1. Put your iPhoto Library(ies) on an external drive and eject or disconnect the drive when you are not using the computer. Then, no one else can get into your projects. I have ten iPhoto Libraries on my external drive.
2. Make an iPhoto Library just for your projects and put that one on an external drive. That way, your photos are available to whoever wants to view them, but the projects library can be left alone.
3. Have you considered not letting others access your computer without your permission? If they are not responsible enough, setting up different user accounts would be the way to go. You can limit their access to your files.
If you want to suggest that Apple do something more global, feel free to make your suggestion here, as Larry recommended:

In MAC OS, does PSE9 duplicate your photos on import?

I'm moving from PC to MacBook Pro and just learned that iPhoto duplicates your images when you import into iPhoto? Does PSE9 do that or does it just create a catalog and not make duplicates of your photos on your hard drive?

Yes right. Organizer is db-based application which stores associations between actual files on your hard disk/external hard disk/cd/dvd to their previews (called thumbnails) within the EO catalog. Along with these links, it stores tags/albums information which are two modes of organizing your files in EO.
It does not replicate these files anywhere on your disk.
Thanks

OWB 10gR2 - some enhancement requests

Hi, I've been working with OWB 10gR2 for approximately a week now, and I've come across a few (minor) bugs, as well as a list of enhancements that I think would make the tool better. I'd like to surface these in this forum so they can be either disagreed with or have workarounds suggested, as well as getting this list in front of Oracle. Also I'm new to the tool, so maybe there are ways to accomplish what I want.
p.s. as a side note - please don't take these as criticisms of the tool. I'm actually very impressed with OWB 10gR2, but just want to surface some ideas that I think would make the tool better.
Thanks,
Scott
---Bugs:
1.     If I enter a quote character in one of the business description fields (i.e. for a cube or dimension), it causes the DDL scripts to blow up. It probably mentions the list of valid characters in the users guide somewhere - but if a character isn't legal, it should be flagged when I try to enter it originally not when deploying
2.     I can enter illegal strings in an expression operator that fail validation there, but the whole map still passes validation. For instance, I put in an expression (for a varchar2 field) using a single quote at the start, but mistakenly with a double quote at the end. I didnt bother to validate this within the expression. The whole map validated fine, but (of course) blew up with the illegal syntax when generating the code.
3.     I get the following error when trying to browse a cube (ROLAP, not MOLAP) through OWB, but I'm able to pull the cube up fine using either the excel add-in or biBeans: CubeDV_OLAPSchemaConnectionException_ENT_06952???
---Enhancement Requests:
1.     Add a deploy button in control center next to the to default actions and reset actions buttons
2.     Allow an option to have dimensions and cube defaults set to either deploy all, deploy data only, deploy catalog only, deploy aggregations (for cubes). Also, why is the default set to deploy data only? Does deploying the CMW2 metadata involve huge performance impacts or something? It seems like the CMW2 is almost free so it should be turned on by default. Its a pain to use the dimension wizard, but then have to go in to each dimension afterwards to set this option.
3.     When using configure on dims and cubes in control center, the first time the configuration properties dialog pops up, everything is fine. However, when you try to configure the 2nd object, the background focus switches from control center back to design center. This makes navigation very slow if you have lots of items to change. I've noticed this behavior in a few other places as well.
4.     Some dialogs do not have maximize buttons (i.e. dimension wizard dialogs), and default to a very small size. It is possible to have size of dialogs dynamically scaled to screen resolutions, and attempt to size columns so they fit properly. Or better yet, have each dialog remember how large it was last time, and automatically open up to that size?
5.     When generating the autobind relational table while creating a dimension, it seems to be randomizing the order of the attributes within a level (although it does sort the top level attributes first, followed by lower level attributes), at least when using the dimension wizard. It would be nice if the attributes in the relational table came out sorted in the same order as they are specified in the attributes tab.
6.     When using a unmapped display set there doesnt seem to be a way to refresh the set (i.e. remove the items that have since been mapped) unless you select all and then unmapped again. Would be nice if you could simply choose unmapped again and have it refresh the object
7.     While doing a mapping, right click on canvas allows option to generate. Would be nice to also add the validate option to this menu
8.     Validating mappings takes a decent amount of time would be nice if a busy icon was displayed to let user know that OWB hasnt locked up.
9.     default size of job details dialog is too small, and even if I maximize I still have to go through and manually adjust the size of each pane. Similar to enhancement #4
10.     Horizontal size of operators in mapping seems to be determined by the length of the operator name, instead of tying directly to the icon. Looks strange. Very minor
11.     When displaying dimension objects in a mapping:
a.     For the surrogate key columns add an icon to indicate this attribute is a surrogate key. Likewise, since its not legal to map anything to this column, remove the little arrow next to it (the one that turns gray when something is mapped to a column), or perhaps don't even show this column at all.
b.     For the business key columns add some type of icon to show which attributes represent the business natural key (or make color different, etc.)
12.     Similar to #11, for the cube operator in a mapping:
a.     For the surrogate key columns if they cant be mapped to, then dont show them
b.     For the business key columns add some type of icon to show which attributes represent the business natural key
c.     Separate the measure columns from the dimension columns
13.     For the Aggregation operator can you move the <None> default operator to the top of the list. At the bottom, it means you always have to scroll to use the most common operations (which are at the top of the list), i.e. sum and avg, etc.
14.     In the log on prompt, if I choose SQL*Net connection, every time I start it up it defaults to the details being shown (even when I chose no detail last time), with cursor in the host box. I should be able to have the details hidden, and this dialog should ALWAYS default to having the active cursor in the password box on startup
15.     When printing in a mapping, the page setup print dialog is very slow. Also, the print setup dialog shows margins, but you cant adjust them. It would be nice if this could be changed here
16.     Add a print preview icon to all of the toolbars. Printer icon is there, print preview should also be.
17.     In the dimension attributes, we need a way to tag an attribute as being the insert record date or the update record date. The corresponding MERGE SQL should be updated to use these attributes.
18.     It would be nice if the mapping canvas defaulted to an unlimited sizei.e. when I want to add new operators and the screen is already full, I either need to shrink the zoom factor down to the point where I cant read the icons anymore, or I have to pick up the new operator and drag at the bottom / right side until it scrolls enough to drop it where I want. If the canvas had an unlimited size, I could simple use the scroll bars to scroll to where I want.
19.     Scroll wheel functionality to zoom in / out (and have it zoom in around the currently selected object)
20.     Option to have operations automatically resize when longer attribute names are added to them (can workaround by mimimizing and then maximizing, but would be better to have the operators automatically adjust size to fit)
21.     Ability to sort output attributes in an operator (just like table column sort functionality). If I create a new operator, it would be nice to group it with related operators instead of always having it at bottom.
22.     re: column sort functionality drag and drop instead of up/down arrows would be nice
23.     It would be nice if, when adding output attributes to (for example) the expression operator, it would choose the default data type the same way the dimension attribute wizard works (i.e. if it sees ind in name, automatically choose char(1)
24.     Change the zoom in button so that it zooms in on the currently selected operator i.e. if I click on a particular table and then hit the zoom in button, it should keep the table I selected centered
25.     When in a mapping, clicking on a line should highlight the attributes on both the source and target operators (to allow easier visual ID of where data is coming from / going to)
26.     AWM has a feature where table attributes can be sorted so that mappings between them don't have "crossed" lines. Similar functionality in OWB would be very appreciated. It may be harder to automate this, but even manual drag and drop of attributes within an operator would be nice.

if you could copy/paste this whole thing into the submission form (see feedback option under the numbers menu). The more people that request these features, the more likely we are to see them in an update or the next version.

Enhancement request for more fine-grained templates

JHeadstart version : 10.1.2.0
I like to have the possibility to define templates on the level of table rows. If I am correct, currently the 'lowest' level of a .jtt template is the $FORM_ITEMS$ token. According to the userguide this token "is used to indicate the place where a form must be generated". My question is now: How can I influence this generation process? For example, I want to embed text-items within <c:if's in order to conditionally set a text-item attribute. Am I right to conclude that on this "deeper" level of a jsp (for instance table-row level), it is not possible to define templates?
If so, I want to request an enhancement for a further 'fine-graining' of the templating technique.
Thanks and greetings, Erik

Erik,
Yes, this is not possible in he current release.
Your enhancement request has already been implemented for the JDev10.1.3/Faces release. We will the support two kinds of tokens, one that outputs all items as it is today ($FORM_ITEMS$ or $TABLE_ITEMS$), and one token that refers to an individual item. This reference can be bpoth on index number and name:
FORM_ITEM_1 or
FORM_ITEM_DepartmentName
This will allow you to layout the items exactly as you want.
Note that in the 10.1.3 release, we will also support item-level templates where you can add code to conditonally render items.

Enhancement request: Java Class Diagram new facilities

Hi JDev team
Can you log the following enhancement request for the Java Class Diagram editor please? Firstly it would be useful when selecting a class in the diagram that the Hierarchy window was synchronized and updated the class stack to show the selected item.
Secondly it would be nice to be able to drag and drop items from the Hierarchy window into the Java Class Diagram to be included in the diagram.
Thanks & regards,
CM.

Chris,
I submitted an ER for your request. The tracking number is 6279159.

Highlight reconciled files in RSC 3.1 (Enhancement request)

I just filed this enhancement request, pertaining to reconciling files between branches (parallel development).
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Highlight reconciled files in RSC 3.1
How would you like the feature to work?
As a file is reconciled, it should either be removed from the window or at least dimmed.
Why is this feature important to you?
If you are interrupted during the course of reconciling multiple files, you can't often remember where you stopped.
Leon

Saved in 8.2.1, which you can open with anything newer.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

OAUG Enhancement Request System (ERS) Pilot Program

OAUG Enhancement Request System (ERS) Pilot Program
The OAUG Board of Directors and Oracle® Corporation have previously announced the Pilot Program for the OAUG Enhancement Request System (ERS). This system has been collaboratively designed to achieve objectives that are mutually beneficial to Oracle customers, the OAUG, and Oracle Corporation:
* Provide a centralized and standardized solution for Oracle customers to submit, validate and have OAUG members vote on Oracle® Applications Enhancement Requests
* Provide Oracle® Product Development with direct access to user input and requirements that may provide direction for future versions of the Oracle® Products
* Create an enhancement related communication channel between end users, Special Interest Group (OHUG) Chairs, OHUG Enhancement Coordinators and Oracle® Product Management
The goal of the OAUG ERS Pilot Program is to comprehensively test the new system with live enhancement data from two specific product areas:
- Self Service Human Resources
- Oracle Order Management
Oracle® customers interested in entering enhancements for either product are encouraged to do so by logging into MetaLink, selecting "News & Events" from the navigation bar, selecting "OAUG Enhancement Request System (ERS) Pilot Program" from the articles listed, and choosing "LOGIN to the OAUG ERS" from the article text (use your OAUG LoginID and Password at this point, not your MetaLink credentials).
Step-by-Step Instructions -
Through Oracle's MetaLink:
1. Log into metalink.oracle.com using your MetaLink credentials.
2. Click on the "News and Events."
3. Click on the OAUG ERS Pilot Program link.

Hi Sue,
As i understood so far,Sales order is an auto generated number pre-configured by the SD consultant to fall within that number range...
The following are only my suggestions .....
(1)to check if it is possible through configurations for having a number range similar to the external number provided these 2 are directly linked and that there is always a Sales order linked to every external number..........
(2) we have a field called PO refernce number in the header.We can fill this field in the user exit of the include MV45AFZZ in userexit for move field to vbak and then in all the custom reports and programs link this field and standard VBELN number so that SAP flow is not affected.
(3) check for enhancement spots wherein the vbeln field is overwritten immediatly after number generation...Please note that overwriting the standard field is a tiring task.,especially a key field..because we need to clearly understand which all tables are being updated with this number..so if the field vbeln has a parameter name(press F1 on Vbeln field and you will get the detail list ,with one field called "parameter name" ) assigned to it overwrite it with the required number so that all standard tables are relected with this number....(use F1 helo set/Get parameters to learn more)..try filling this parameter using set parameter statement OR check for badis and user exits
If I come across a possible exit ,will update you
Hope it helps

Keyword tags for imported iPhone photos disappeared from LR5.7 catalog under OS 10.10.1Yosemite.

I am using LR 5.7 on a Mac OS 10.10.1 with a Time Machine backup - the vast majority of my photos were taken on an iPhone 5 in the year 2014 and are in a folder on my computer internal hard drive.
The structure is my Folders > Macintosh HD which has a folder inside called
Pictures Users/myname with 1719 photos in it -
when I click on this folder the following folders open up:
> folder dated 1904(?) with 2 items
> folder dated 2012 with 1 item
> folder dated 2013 with 1 item
> folder dated 2014 with 1352 items...
.... and so on until
>Exported Original Photos 365 (which are exports of photos from iPhoto that I wanted to catalog and develop in LR)
The Maths are correct. But as for the tags:
when I open the folder Pictures Users/myname containing 1719 photos and view them as thumbnails I see all the keywording applied to my collection of photos
BUT when I open the folder Pictures - Users/myname and then folder 2014, I see a list:
folder 2014 with 199 items
folder 2014-01-20 with 1 item
folder 2014-01-21 with 5 items
etc
All well and good.
BUT if I open these dated folders with small numbers of images in them (never more than 50 per day), view the images in a grid and click on a photo, there are no keyboard tags to be seen in the information panel. They only time I see any keyword tags that I have entered is when I open Macintosh HD > Pictures - Users/myname which contains my entire library of photos taken in 2014 and those added to the catalog from iPhoto.
Should I see tags for the photos in the individually dated folders e.g. Macintosh HD > Pictures - Users/myname > 2014 > 2014-01-20 and so on day by day ?
I have been tagging my photos with keywords after my weekly import. And have been doing this after viewing each photo from the grid view of photos displayed by clicking on Macintosh HD >Pictures - Users/myname.
Have I made an error?
I want to tag my collection of photos by the correct method before it grows in size.
Many thanks
David (Brighton, UK)

Hi,
I moused down on the "+" sign where it says Folders and "show photos in subfolders" was shown as already being "on".
I followed your suggestion: I tried to keyword the photo in Macintosh HD/Pictures - Users/myname/folder 2014-01-20 with 1 item however it did not permit me to type in a keyword in the keyboarding section panel on the left hand side, so I was unable to check if it stuck.
I don't know whether this is important or not, but the list of folders, subfolders etc have slightly different arrow heads:
If I drop down the Macintosh HD location there is a SOLID, grey downward pointing arrow to the left hand side of the folder Pictures - Users/myname/..
However, if you drop down folders from Macintosh HD > Pictures - Users/myname/.. to show inner folders:
Macintosh HD> Pictures - Users/myname/... > folders dated 2014-01-20 etc., then there is a horizontal triangle that is made up of grey dots rather than a solid triangle for every dated folder - is this as expected?

Enhance request: Tag poeple in your photos
