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.

For those of you that don't visit the Smart View Forum, you should. It is one forum where it is monitored by real development people. I posted a wish list there and have heard from The Product Manager and one of the co-creators of Smart View. Please add to the list at
Enhancements to Smartview wish list
Note, if you know what is already on the road map like separate ribbons by product and a new connection, don't include those, it will just muck up the list.

I saw someone earlier this month listed their excellent wish list. The Jdev team responded and that was terrific. I just thought I'd list my growing list so they can see it, although I doubt any of these will make it to 9.0.3, unless they were already slated for inclusion. The list is in no particular priority order, it's just in the order that I encounted the bugs/desires.
1. Enable mouse wheel functionality. (Fix Bug 2055415)
2. Want to be able to drag and drop variables into watch window.
3. Want to be able to right click, and add the variable to the watch list, even though the program is not running yet. Now it only works if you stopped for a break point.
4. Not have JDeveloper window have its Normal window size reset to full screen upon startup. (Fix bug 1655341)
5. Code Insight sometimes is hard to invoke. For example, if I have a function, with a bunch of parameters already entered) and I click in the argument list, nothing happens (no popup). If I hit crtl-space, it brings up a huge list of all kinds of things that Im not interested in. What I really want is a way to bring up the list of argument parameters. Apparently the only way to do this is to get rid of all prior arguments and the left parenthesis and retype the left paren. But then if you say, paste in the existing arguments (which you cut to save them), then the argument list pop-up/tool-tip disappears and youre out of luck again. Basically, just have it work like Microsofts Intellisense which seems to know more intuitively what you want and when you want it. They even have a button on their edit toolbar which you can click when youre in an arg list to bring up Intellisense. Id like that button in Jdev.
6. Want easy way to comment out blocks of code. E.g., highlight lines and hit ctrl-/ and it will put a // in front of each line.
7. Want to be able to select a line of code by clicking in the left margin (arrow changes directions common in many applications, such as MS Word) rather than clicking and dragging a selection down to the line below.
8. Want a way to have bookmarks in the code editor. (Fix bug request #1797151.)
9. Dont have title bars of the various windows in the development environment have double lines across them. This makes it tough to find the proper line that you need to grab (cursor turns into double arrow head) to resize the window.
10. Upon restarting Jdeveloper, want replacement options (Single, Global, Prompted) to remain what I selected in my prior session.
11. Would like modified files in the System-Navigator window (System tab) to be in color (e.g. Red) rather than just black italics (not so obvious and hard to see).
12. When I click inside a method, the name of the method (which you see listed in the structure window) should become highlighted. Currently if you double clicked one method in the structure window and went there but then moused down in the code editor window and clicked in a different function, then the function (that you left) in the structure goes from blue highlighted to gray highlighted (fine I guess but would rather have no highlighting ) but the new method does not become highlighted (my gripe).
13. When youre going through the code doing search & replace, it should highlight, in the structure window, the name of the method that youre currently in (the place where its prompting you to replace).
14. When youre going through the code and stopping at breakpoints, it should highlight, in the structure window, the name of the method that youre currently in (the place where its prompting you to replace).
15. The only way to accept a suggestion from Code Insight is to press enter. It would be nice if you could also use the next logical operator like . (dot). Then the editor should insert the selected suggestion followed by . and start Code Insight again on the next level of the expression. There's already an enhancement request filed for this: #2197394
Gee, its starting to sound like I want JDev to look like Microsoft Visual Studio. A colleague just handed me Microsoft's Visual J++. I'm wondering whether to try it. I'm tempted but I'll hold off for a little bit.Hi Mark,
Responding to the Code Insight and Code Editor areas:
5. Code Insight sometimes is hard to invoke. For example, if I have a
function, with a bunch of parameters already entered) and I click in the
argument list, nothing happens (no popup). If I hit crtl-space, it brings
up a huge list of all kinds of things that Im not interested in. What I
really want is a way to bring up the list of argument parameters.Code Insight has two flavors. One is code completion, Ctl-space, which shows you a popup list of possible completions. The other is parameter info, Ctl-shift-space, which shows you a tooltip with the list of argument parameters as appropriate. Different hot-keys. They can coexist on your screen when
appropriate (starting with 9.0.3).
Apparently the only way to do this is to get rid of all prior arguments
and the left parenthesis and retype the left paren. But then if you say,
paste in the existing arguments (which you cut to save them), then the
argument list pop-up/tool-tip disappears and youre out of luck again.We've made a lot of improvements to Code Insight for release 9.0.3. It's much stabler than in v9.0. For example, the above problem is fixed for 9.0.3 (assuming I understand your request correctly).
Basically, just have it work like Microsofts Intellisense which seems to
know more intuitively what you want and when you want it. They even have
a button on their edit toolbar which you can click when youre in an arg
list to bring up Intellisense. Id like that button in Jdev.Hmm... we hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the idea. Can't guarantee that we'll implement it, but I'll bring it up for discussion.
6. Want easy way to comment out blocks of code. E.g., highlight lines
and hit ctrl-/ and it will put a // in front of each line.#2175300. Implemented for 9.0.3.
8. Want a way to have bookmarks in the code editor. (Fix bug request
#1797151.)Implemented for 9.0.3.
10. Upon restarting Jdeveloper, want replacement options (Single,
Global, Prompted) to remain what I selected in my prior session.Implemented for 9.0.3 as an option in the preferences for the Code Editor.
Couldn't find a specific bug number for that.
12. When I click inside a method, the name of the method (which you see
listed in the structure window) should become highlighted. Currently if
you double clicked one method in the structure window and went there but
then moused down in the code editor window and clicked in a different
function, then the function (that you left) in the structure goes from
blue highlighted to gray highlighted (fine I guess but would rather have
no highlighting ) but the new method does not become highlighted (my
gripe).
13. When youre going through the code doing search & replace, it should
highlight, in the structure window, the name of the method that youre
currently in (the place where its prompting you to replace).
14. When youre going through the code and stopping at breakpoints, it
should highlight, in the structure window, the name of the method that
youre currently in (the place where its prompting you to replace).Treating all three as a single request: Any time the cursor moves in the code editor, hilite the appropriate node in the structure pane. This actually did occur to me just recently. Filing ER 2428707 to track this request. Probably won't make it into 9.0.3.
15. The only way to accept a suggestion from Code Insight is to press
enter. It would be nice if you could also use the next logical operator
like . (dot). Then the editor should insert the selected suggestion
followed by . and start Code Insight again on the next level of the
expression. There's already an enhancement request filed for this: #2197394Won't make it into 9.0.3.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I usually only read these forums through the Newsgroups interface, in which case you don't see any explanation of or introduction to new sub-forums. So I visited the forums' web interface and read the introduction. Here are my comments:
> Welcome to the FrameMaker wish list area. Here, you can make your
> suggestions for improvements and new features to be added to FrameMaker.
>
> Please note that this is a user forum and there is no guarantee that

If the intention is to simply discuss possible improvements and their
merits with your fellow FM users, fine. But I would guess that many
people posting here would assume that this is a forum for getting feature
requests sent to Adobe, directly or indirectly. Especially if you don't
use the web interface or don't read the introduction quoted above.
In that case, I have posted my opinion on such postings in the previous
"wish list" thread, and I won't repeat it here again. I just encourage
the forum hosts and other forum participants to keep an eye of the
postings here and make clear that this is a user-to-user discussion
forum, nothing more (if that's the intention).
If the forum hosts intend to actually collect and summarize these
postings to Adobe R&D or product management, please make that clear.
I really think this affects the type of "requests" to post here, and the
spirit of the following discussions. In my opinion, it may be hard to
combine a true "feature request forum" and a more free "discussion of
merit forum" into something truly useful.

>I usually only read these forums through the Newsgroups interface, in which case you don't see any explanation of or introduction to new sub-forums. So I visited the forums' web interface and read the introduction. Here are my comments:
Unfortunately, the forum software doesn't send the forum description
through the nntp: channel.
I am aware of your sentiments on the "Feature request" issue, and I do
make the marketing and product management and support folks at Adobe
aware of these forums at every opportunity.
Adobe already has a direct route for feature requests (as indicated in
the forum description) for all products. Any of the Adobe product
"Feature Request" forums are in the same spirit as this one - it's
just that some Forums have more active participation of Adobe
employees (on their own time), but that doesn't mean that nobody from
the FM team will read these postings. One can hope that some ideas
here will strike a chord and be acted upon.
Please also don't discount the various plug-in and script developers
that may pick up and run with any of the ideas presented here to
provide all of us with something to enhance the product or our
workflows.
All I hope for is that we can make the best of the opportunities that
are presented to us.

Scott Kelby posted his wish list for LRv4 on his blog today pointing out features, adjustments and tweaks he would like to see in the next iteration of Lightroom ....
http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2010/archives/11824
Is he on target? Are his suggestions worthy, important and doable?
I must say I wouldn't be disappointed with his vision of what LR4 would be capable of ....Personally, I'm on a pretty different page.
I could care less about Lightroom's slideshow capability - because I don't use it (I use 3rd party presentation tools after exporting from Lr).
I could care less about Lightroom's photobooks - because if I did use photobooks, I could do it in Aperture or some other 3rd party software.
I could care less about soft-proofing because I don't use it, and if I did, I could always pull the photos into another app that does support soft-proofing.
... I could go on, but my point is that anything that can easily be done at the endpoints of the workflow with another tool is less of a concern to me than the things I do day in and day out, which is Library + Develop, especially Develop.
And Adobe still has some serious image quality matters to address, e.g. Highlight recovery.
I would agree with Scott on these points:
- Networked catalog support (although I don't have need, I understand other peoples need for this).
- Soft-proofing: this is not a contradiction - I acknowlege other peoples strong desire/need for this.
Other stuff I don't use but would imagine becoming big:
- GPS/Location support.
My wishlist:
- Finish what they started being #1 image-quality-wise
- especially highlight recovery
- and other hue shift anomalies.
- Finish what they started being #1 performance-wise (read: get the bugs out so the performance for "all" of us matches the performance for the lucky ones).
- Add better color handling and/or adjustment capability.
- Better auto-tone and Active-D-Lighting-like support (fill-light + clarity goes pretty far now, and jjust fixing highlight recovery would be a huge step in the right direction here).
- Fix 'Clarity' so that one can down-throttle its affect on "already high-contrast" edges.
- targeted adjustments (based on luminance, color, ..., e.g. U-points only better)
- includes making the auto-mask work better.
- all adjustments available locally.
- Separate channel levels and curves.
- distraction removal brush (e.g. content-aware fill).
- Support for image enhancement via plugin. - once pixel manipulation is integrated with parametric editing (see my #1 wish below) - this will be a fallout - I don't care too much whether image manipulation tools plug into photoshop or lightroom, as long as they are readily accessible in Lightroom without forking a separate photo.
- Full-screen editing with develop panels + library panels simultaneously open on secondary monitor.
- Full access to Lightroom UI via SDK (plugin) - including event notification and having things in the panels.
AND MY #1 WISH FOR LIGHTROOM 4:
- 100% integration with Photoshop and/or other 3rd party pixel editors and plugins - this would include the ability to have multiple shots be considered sub-shots of an HDR image. - If this were done, it would lessen many of the needs for natively supporting things like separate channel levels and curves and all adjustments local. To reiterate: the main goal is to be able to do things presently relegated to pixel editors without forking a new photo, even if internally its handled as a fork - I don't want to have to manage an additional independent photo entity just to remove a twig.
I'm sure there's more, but I gotta go dance...

Just sent the following to Apple's iPhoto Feedback; figured I'd post same here just for the heck of it. Many of these feature requests might only apply to my particular (and peculiar?) workflow, but I suspect at least a few of them might strike an empathetic chord...
One User's iPhoto Wish List:
Your first priority is to contact the creators of iPhoto Diet and iPhoto Library Manager, pay them lots of money for their work, and then incorporate all the features of their shareware apps into iPhoto itself.
This would add to iPhoto features it should have had for a long time now, including:
1) An option to delete unrotated originals.
It's silly to take up space on a hard drive with copies of files whose only difference is that one is correctly rotated and the other is not. Give us the choice to dispense with the unrotated ones.
2) An option to delete the originals for any selected file(s).
I know that "always keeping a copy of the original" is a sacred cornerstone of the iPhoto app, but SOMETIMES, after I've edited, resized, or done whatever to a given file, I feel I've created the new master file, and I truly really honestly would like the ability to just dispose of the now redundant original and get the space back on my hard drive.
(If this sounds like giving the user of a "consumer app" too much control, by all means bury this kind of option behind all the Advanced Tabs and all the Warning Dialogs you want -- but please at least give us the option to manage what we ultimately keep or don't keep in our iPhoto Libraries.)
3) Ways to manage multiple libraries on multiple machines with multiple users.
I have a 12GB (and growing) iPhoto Library on my G5 PowerMac. My wife's G5 iMac has a subset of that Library (about half the size), with the same Roll designations, Comments info, and Keyword assignments, along with some of the same Albums plus some unique Albums. I use iPhoto Library Manager to do this, but I should be able to do it using iPhoto itself.
Especially since the introduction of OS X, Apple has encouraged the notion of multiple users on multiple Macs. iPhoto needs to embrace that world view, and make the sharing and management of multiple iPhoto Libraries, even different versions of the same Library on different machines, a fluid, user-friendly, and fully-integrated process. For instance, I should be able to select which images, Rolls, and/or Albums from my Library get copied to my wife's machine (with all Comments, Roll info and Keywords intact) -- AND whether or not those copies include the corresponding original files or not.
Other features iPhoto needs:
4) Ability to correct and change the actual EXIF date/time info.
One example: It is extremely common to get jpegs from other users who haven't bothered to correctly set the date/time menu on their digital cameras. You want to correct that info, but if you do that in iPhoto's Info pane, and then Export that image and in turn Import it into another iPhoto Library, the Date/Time reverts back to the original INCORRECT setting. This is really annoying, and I feel like it's insulting my intelligence. (When I change the date of a photo, THAT'S the date I should now be able to search for by using the calendar mode, NOT its incorrect "creation" date.)
The current workaround of having to export the file, use another app like Graphic Converter to really change the exif data, then re-import into iPhoto (after first deleting the originals), then recreate all your Comments and Album arrangements, is clumsy, time-consuming, and when you think about it, absurd.
PLEASE consider a User Pref to the effect of "Changing Date/Time info changes original exif data as well"? You could have it unchecked as the default; you could have all sorts of "do you really want to do that?" warnings pop up when a user does check it -- but please just give us the option!
5) Better User Pref options.
Give us the choice to NOT create a dupe original when a file is viewed in an external editor but no changes are made; likewise when just rotating an image within iPhoto.
6) Better sorting/display options.
I display my library in Rolls (each Roll being pictures taken on a particular day or at a particular event). I'd like the ability to designate how files are sorted within a particular Roll -- the pictures in some Rolls sorted by file name, the pictures in other Rolls sorted by Date & Time.
Would also like to be able to insert dividers in the Source pane to separate some of my albums into different groups, as well as a way to set bookmarks or placeholders within a Library, as a quick shortcut to an often-viewed section for example.
7) More e-mail attachment options.
Within each of the Small, Medium, Large, and Actual Size choices, there should also be (perhaps under an Advanced tab) a sliding scale of jpg quality, with an instant feedback showing what the total file size will be at that particular setting.
Also, there should be four checkboxes: one for Image Name, one for Date, one for Time, and especially one for Comments -- allowing the user to determine which of those four bits of iPhoto info are included in the e-mail attachment along with the image itself.
8) Option to have Comments included in Captions for online albums.
Those same four checkboxes also need to be options for any kind online album posting. It's crazy that right now I can't put up an iWeb photo page that automatically includes the Comments I've taken the time to enter in iPhoto as part of that photo's Caption online.
9) Option to show file extension in Title
Including or not including the .jpg or .psd or .gif extension is an option when Exporting a file; why not when displaying it as well?
10) Option to "show all layers" of an imported Photoshop file.
Or any kind of layered file which has been imported into the iPhoto Library.
11) Ability to enter partial dates.
It often happens when you import an older scanned photo into your library (or even when you're just sent a recent photo from a friend), you don't know know the exact date and/or time the picture was originally taken. iPhoto really needs a way to enter partial, approximate or estimated dates -- just the month/year without a specific day, for example -- both in the Info pane AND in Batch Change mode.
(Also wouldn't mind a user pref option to display the Time without the seconds.)
12) Ability to Import pictures into an already selected Roll.
There are many times when I'd like to be able to select a particular Roll, then Import some new pics directly into that Roll -- rather than doing the Import, then having to drag the images sometimes several months back in time to drop them into the correct Roll.
13) Ability to delete files from an Album and the Library simultaneously.
This would be some sort of Option-Delete command, where a selected image being viewed in a particular Album is ALSO removed and sent to the Trash from the Library as well -- with the appropriate warning dialog, of course.
14) Built-in support for doing INCREMENTAL back-ups of either your entire Library -- or only the files from selected Albums -- to another hard drive.
I hope that most of these features have already been incorporated into the next release of iPhoto -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you.
John Bertram
Torontoshould add ability to scan directly to iphoto.
How would I give this wish to apple?
Note that under the Application Menu (in other words, in iPhoto under the bold Menu item called "iPhoto", right next to the blue Apple icon), there's a selection called Provide iPhoto Feedback. Clicking on that opens your default browser (if it's not already open), and sends you to the specific Apple webpage set up to receive user suggestions for that particular app.
In this case, the URL is the one "Old Toad" mentioned in his post:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Many of the major Apple apps have this direct menu link; for others you can just go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and navigate from there.
They claim to actually pay attention to this kind of user input; and I've heard people say it actually does affect how the development and implementation of new features get prioritized.
Let's hope so, anyway. -
I have a wish list in my itunes on my computer but i can't find it in my itunes on my ipad2. I went to my movies tab and it is not there in my quick links. Where did it go? For that matter why does the itunes store/account look different on my ipad as opposed to my computer? There is a lot of links missing from my ipad2 itunes -------
To my knowledge, the wish list has never been in the iTunes app. It certainly isn't now. You can comment to Apple here:

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. -
Dear Lenovo,
seeing that you have completely messed up the Design of the W530 here is my recommendations for features to be included your next mobile Workstation:
A 19:10 display with either an IPS 1920x1200 Display or an 2880x1800 (so called retina) Display (offer both). A 16:9 display on a workstation is a joke. Nobody buys a proper mobile Workstation (>$3000 with max memory and large SSD) as a mobile DVD player. I would happily spend an extra $1000 for a good display resolution so stop trying to save a couple of dollars by offering a resolution that is useless for >90% of workstation users.
If you need some insight to the type of work done with your workstation:
CAD: The ideal working area for CAD is a actually square, else you are liable to take wrong design decisions and make mistakes because you see the sides better than what lies above or below. Even if you place quite a number of toolboxes at the sides a view on a 16:9 screen always ends up rectangular and offers less hight than the old 1600x1200 screens
PHOTOGRAPHERS: The ratio in standard analog (35mm) film was 2:3 which has been largely adapted by digital cameras. Again, even if you are working on a landscape picture and placing all your tools at the sides 16:9 is very far from the ideal retio.
MOVIE PRODUCTION: One would think that 16:9 is ideal for the production of films, but for editing it is not. Usually timelines are added above or below the output area. On 16:10 at least some of this space was provided by the additional vertical resolution.
PROGRAMMERS: For software engineers the vertical height is the most important feature of a display, as software is usually coded with many quite short lines. Here of course the 1080 pixel vertical resolution is a grat step backwards from the 1920x1200 and even 1600x1200 resolutions.
2 PAGES SIDE-BY-SIDE: I have heard the argument again and again (usually by people that don't use their laptop for work) that 16:9 is great for viewing two pages side by side. It is not. The ideal ratio for two A4 pages would be 16:11.3 if you don't have a task bar and menu at top and bottom. Discounting these it is closer to 16:12 or 4:3. You actually get a better resolution of two A4 sheets on a 1600x1200 display than on 1920x1080.
A decent keyboard: I currently own a W510 and it has a good keyboard, although not as good as my old T40 and T60 used to be. Now with the W530 you are offering a keyboard that is just not made for typing. A "Chiclet" style keyboard, though it might be ok for gaming is just not for serious work. Just add the 2mm extra hight to the chassis, a mobile workstation is not meant to be a ultraportable.
Graphics that use less power: I don't know how well the current generation of NVidia graphics fares, but the model included in my laptop sucks power like nothing. ATI has a better power management, at least has had in the last couple of years. My W510 runs less than 2 hours on a nine cell battery even at light use.
Other things that would be nice but are not essential:
- Bring back the ultrabay battery. Hardly anybody needs optical drives on the move and any extension in working time on the road would be appreciated. Ultrabay should support Hard drives at the same speed as the main HD controller (for raid).
- A docking station with included graphics (I don't need the full power on the move but wouldn't mind driving three monitors from the docking station)
- A docking station with a fast PCIe slot (x4 or better)
- At least one horizontal USB port on the right and one on the left (for the mouse). Make all ports USB3.
- A seperate microphone jack (used by most headset and allows use of stereo microphones)
- Please keep the eSATA and powered USB ports.
- Please keep the 'nipple' and trackpad input devices with three buttons (third button at the bottom for the trackpad would be nice)
I wanted to upgrade to the W530, but the display ratio and keyboard have put me off. I have been using thinkpads for many many years, but the design keeps getting worse, so I think my current workstation could be my last thinkpad. Might try to attach a W510 keyboard to the new MacbookPro with retina display and run Win7. Now that would be a great machine, but I would prefer it to be black and from Lenovo.I agree, this is a good wish list.
My main gripe is the new keyboard. I am with the original poster, if I'm buying a friggin workstation model which is a brick ANYWAY, add a few MM in height and put a classic thinkpad keyboard with travel more akin to desktop keyboards.
It's an interesting comment about chiclet keyboards and gaming, because in the desktop world gaming keyboards are not chiclet, and are often pretty fantastic keyboards to type on. I use a Razer Anansi on one of my work desktops, I think it's delightful to type on.
So, my wishlist improvements to the classic Thinkpad keyboard:
1.Decrease flex, X220 is not bad but the W520 has quite a bit, this shouldn't be difficult.
2.Increase travel, depth of keyboard
3.Slightly Increase thickness of plastic used in keys.
Again, it's a workstation. I don't care if it's a little thicker, I would much rather have the component with which I am in contact 100% of the time be >exceptional<, not this chiclet crap.
A strange note, on my W520 (i don't know if this is the same in all), the right shift key has a different feel to the rest of the keyboard, I think it's because it sits on top of a support element or something. But I wish the entire keyboard would feel like that key, that would be perfect, I think a lot of it would be addressed by a more robust structure underneath. -

SmartView Task List not opening FR report
I am trying to open FR report from a Task List task in SmartView (using Planning provider). If I am already logged into my Planning application in browser, the report opens. But if I am not logged (e.g., browser is closed), an empty page opens in browser, and at the bottom is status "Done" but with the error icon.
Is there a way (URL format) that would enable user to open report from SmartView Task List without having to log to Web client first?
Environment: EPM 11.1.2.3.500, FRS 11.1.2.3.503.0917, browser: IE 8, Excel: Office Professional Plus 2010
Thanks,
M. SladicCelvin, Ramkumar, thanks for your suggestions. My colleague, Soumyajit, discovered that the original method (URL) needed to be replaced.
Here is the original URL we used (this one was opening report twice on first open, and didn't open report from SmartView unless user was already logged to Workspace):
** https://i<server>/workspace/WorkspaceLaunch.jsp?uri=module%3Dwksp.relatedcontent%26repository_path%3D%2FReports%2FStatement%2520of%2520Financial%2520Statement%2520-%2520Expandable
Instead the right call is:
https://<server>/workspace/index.jsp?module=tools.relatedcontent&repository_path=%2FReports%2FFinancial%20Statement%20-%20Expandable
Using this other URL, the report:
- when open from the Tasks List, opens only once even the first time;
- opens in Workspace without additional login when opened from the Task List in SmartView
Note: We are using variant of OAM, maybe that has some impact to it. Not my area of expertise, though...

ITunes Store Apps (etc) Page Numbers, Wish List For My iTunes Account
Why doesn't the iTunes Store have page numbers under each page of the items (songs, e-books, apps, etc), because with over 200000 apps I will be damned if I am going to go back to the start of each apps category (for example) clicking in increments of 12 apps at a time until I get to app number 7264!!!!!! I WILL JUST STOP USING THE APPS STORE!!!
Some apps have a PRODUCTIVITY button in the left top corner that will take you back to the last apps browsing page you were on, while other apps have a BACK button in the top left corner WHICH TAKES YOU RIGHT BACK TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE APPS CATEGORY YOU WERE BROWSING, so if you were up to app 734 (for example) you have to click through 64 apps pages JUST TO GET BACK TO THE APP YOU WERE UP TO LAST!!! INFURIATING - BEGGARS BELIEF!?!
WHY CANT I CLICK AN 'ADD TO WISH LIST' BUTTON ON EACH APP PAGE, SO I ALSO DONT HAVE TO BROWSE THROUGH ANOTHER 100 PAGES OF APPS TO FIND THE ONE I LOOKED AT IN MY LAST ISTORE SESSION??????
Hasn't anyone at apple used eBay or amazon???
Update: As of this morning the updates were GONE again, so I'm thinking this may recur on and off until all settles after the launch of new software and iDevices this week.

You want to sell your own music on the itunes store? -
Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my purchases from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.
And I've already tried to search for downloadable purchases.
So fact is established, I've purchased this album before but iTunes does not recognize it.
What to do?Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town. I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album. They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing. Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there. So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it! I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.
