Feature Request: 1. Clarify metadata updating in Guide, and 2. make errors visible.

A couple things would help immensely:
1. Clarify metadata schema/version updating in the guide, and
2. make errors visible - as it stands, these flash by so fast they are unreadable. I've a feeling there's some useful information in them thats going straight to bit bucket instead of eyes/brain.
Rob

One thing thats confusing in the guide is the example update function is provided, yet 'noAutoUpdate' is not provided.
I thought if no-auto-update is nil, then the update function would not be called. Is this just a whoops in the doc, or is there something I'm missing? i.e. is it possible to use auto-updating in conjunction with the manual update function? Say if item versions are changing but not the schema version?
What is the purpose of noAutoUpdate if the mere presence or absence of an update function would do the same thing? I'm starting to think it must be possible to have auto update and manual update concurrently, but if so - how would that work? auto-update runs first, then manual? Or, maybe auto-update (only) runs if no schema change but item version changes, and manual update runs (only) if schema changed. Or maybe auto runs first to handle item version changes, then manual runs to do the schema update - I'm getting confused again.
Also, if previousSchemaVersion is nil, will the update function still be called? If so, then one had better check for it or no first-time users will ever be able to install the plugin, since update func would "error out" when comparing nil to a number. Actually, it may be that update function errors dont hurt in this case - my previous problem was errors that I think kept the update function from being called at all - which made it impossible to enable the plugin.
PS - I miss the days when Eric Scouten would at least occasionally respond on the SDK forum.
Where in the world is Chet Drarvik?

Hi
I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html
He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

Feature Request | Allow custom metadata per table/column to be stored

Someone please correct me if there's already a feature that allows this...
I'd like to see a feature where you can define a set of metadata that can be stored per table / column, and perhaps a trigger that updates that metadata.
As a use case, it is sometimes necessary to find out how many records exist in a table, and the typical way of doing this is by running a statement like select count(*) from example_table;. With a large table, this statement might take a long time though, and certainly has overhead associated with it. If this is something that's done on a regular basis, like maybe even once every minute, wouldn't it be much better to store this number as metadata for the table that can be updated on inserts and deletes and then can be queried? It might involve extra overhead on an insert or delete statement to add to or subtract from this number, but then for some applications the benefit of getting the count quickly might outweigh the extra overhead.
Another use case is finding a minimum or maximum out of a table. Say you store a date and you need to find the max value for some feature in your application; with a large table, and especially if its a date with accuracy to the millisecond where an index wouldn't help much because most values are unique, it can take quite a bit of time and overhead to find that max value. If you could define for that column that you'd like to store the max value in metadata, and could query it, it would be very quick to get the info. The added overhead in this scenario would be on insert, update or especially on delete, the value would have to be updated. But in some applications, if you don't expect alot of deletes or updates on this column, it might be worth the added overhead to be able to quickly find the max value for this column.
I know you could probably make a separate table to store such info, and write triggers to keep it up to date, but why not have a built in feature in Oracle that manages it all for you? When you create a table, you could define with the column definition something like 'METADATA MAX' and it will store the max value of that column in metadata for you, etc.
I know that the overhead of this feature wouldn't be good for most circumstances, but there certainly are those cases where it would be hugely beneficial and the overhead wouldn't matter so much.
Any thoughts?
Can this be submitted as a feature request? Am I asking in the right place?
(p.s. while you're at it, make a feature to mimic IDENTITY columns from SQL Server!)

I don't think what you mentioned is exactly what I was talking about. There's no min_value or max_value in the dba_tab_columns table; there's only high_value and low_value, and they are stored in binary. And I believe to be accurate in the use cases that I suggested, you would have to analyze the table after every insert/update/delete. So no, that's not the same feature I've asked for, although I appreciate the feedback.
Also, the num_rows in dba_tables relies on the table being analyzed too, so for a table that stores temporary date to be processed where you want to know the size of the queue every few seconds, it wouldn't make sense to analyze the whole table every few seconds when all you want is a count of the records, and it's also inefficient to use the COUNT function with every query when it would be much faster to store the count in some metadata form that is updated with every insert or delete (adding to a count and subtracting from a count with each insert/delete is WAY faster than analyzing the table and letting it literally recount the entire table every time).
So again, while I appreciate the feedback, I don't think what you mentioned addresses either of the use cases I gave. I'm talking about a different kind of user defined metadata that could be stored per table/column with rules to govern how it is updated. Not you standard metadata that requires an analyze and isn't real time. I also only gave a few use cases, but the feature I'm really looking for is the ability for users to define many different types of custom metadata even maybe based on their own logic.
Again, this feature could be implemented right now by creating a USERMETADATA table for every standard table you have, and then using triggers to populate the info you want at the table level and column level, but why do that when it could be built in?
Also, I don't really agree that having to create a trigger/sequence for every table instead of setting a column as IDENTITY is better. It's cumbersome. Why not build these commonly used features in? It can create a trigger/sequence behind the scenes for all I care, but why not at least let someone mark a column as IDENTITY (or use whatever other term you want) at the time of table creation and let it do everything for them. But that's off-topic; I meant it for more of a side comment, but should really have a separate post about it.

Feature Request: Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request. I've wanted to see this one for a while. If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse. I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation. A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
Moust Back Button = "BACK"
ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
ENTER opens a folder.
ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
F2 Renames a folder
ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
ESC cancels the renaming operation.
Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context. (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor. ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor. ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers. When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect. It's muscle memory, if not intuitive. I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence). And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
Preference:
checkbox: Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
checkbox: Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin. Of course that doesn't work. And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too. I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER. Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should.
I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr. However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.

Feature request: View layer comps in both Comments and Extract

Good day,
I'd like to see the layer comps dropdown duplicated and applied to the Comments panel of Extract, in hopes that when viewing layer comps over the web, there's better, faster performance when reviewing comps. Extract is wonderful, but not everyone on my team needs the tools it offers (just developers, really). Everyone on my team does need to view the layer comps, making the comments section an appropriate home for it.
Note: I'm not suggesting moving layer comps from Extract to Comments. Please make layer comps available to both.
Thanks for reading,

Hi John,

Feature Request // Book Module: Export as indd file and management

Book Module: Export as indd file and management
I would like to request a feature to export a book module as indd file.
I like PDF's but .indd is nice also so we are able to to more in depth layouts.
Having Lightoom being able to manage all your pictures and book layouts would be nice, alot of things can be done in one application.
Another Feature: Using Lightoom as book layout management.
Being able to send a page(s) of the book from lightroom into InDesign to do indepth layout and editing, then being able to send it back into lightroom
Almost similar to how you can send a photo from LR in Photoshop to do indepth editing and then send it back into lightroom.
This could and will ease the workflow of book management and layout design. So lightroom will not only be able to manage photos, but also indesign and book layouts.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4238530#4238530

Why do repeat it here, as you have already filed a feature request for it?
BTW AFAIK this is already implemented: you can use Adobe Illustrator or InDesign or Opensource Scribus to edit layouts.
They are just not ready to publish how - another sign of the quality processes at Adobe.
But you do not send from the book module.
You create upfront layout templates, which you can import for use inside LR book module.
This is a one-way street.
The book module designers did not acknowledge a use case where you might want to fiddle the exact placement of really chosen images.
It is always you first design a template, then use it.
Love it or leave it - *change it* is not an option that Adobe seems to give to their beta testers.

Feature Request: Import Sidecars When Updating PSE 8 Catalog

I am working to get a usable Lightroom catalog when updating from PSE 8. I have tens of thousands of raw files, several thousand video files in the catalog, almost all of which have an accompanying THM and/or XMP file in the same Windows folder as the photo or video file. PSE, of course, doesn't deal with sidecars, but I would have expected Lightroom to check for the sidecar, just as it does with a regular import of those files. Or at least allow you to ask it to discover sidecars from the library menu after the catalog has been updated.
I would re-import the files to get the metadata from the sidecars, but then I would lose all the tags, captions and other metadata I've built up in the PSE catalog. Lightroom doesn't give the option to "Read Metadata from File" for video files, but when I use on my raw files, it does not attempt to discover any existing sidecar files. The XMP sidecars would be especially helpful because they contain the PSE data (including date/time changes, keywords, etc.) for both raw and video files as written out by PSEDBtool from John Ellis.
If multiple sidecars are available for a file (e.g. both a THM and an XMP), I would hope that Lightroom would read both in date order, and apply the metadata in that order. That is, if the THM is older, read and use that metadata, and then read the XMP, updating any data supplied in that file, so that we get the benefit all all the data available. In the cases above, there is a lot of camera data in the THM for the video files that is not in the AVI, MOV or XMP files, so I wouldn't want to lose that.

John - Thanks for your helpful responses. A couple answers to your questions:
I do have XMP sidecars for my raw (and video) files, courtesy of psedbtool. In addition, most of my raw (and video) files have a .THM file associated with them from the camera itself. I have done very little with ACR in PSE 8, so I don't believe I have any XMP files from that source.
After converting my PSE 8 catalog to LR 3, I do not see any sidecar extensions in the LR 3 metadata pane, which is leading me to believe that LR 3 has ignored both the XMP and THM sidecars (I would have expected to see both listed). If I instead import the raw files directly, rather than through the PSE 8 catalog upgrade, then I see both XMP and THM sidecars listed in the EXIF metadata pane. For raw files, I can't be sure that the sidecars are not being read, because the camera data in them is duplicated in the raw file, and other data such as keywords may be coming straight from the PSE catalog.
By analogy, when I import video files with sidecars directly into LR, the sidecar metadata (both THM and XMP) is definitely imported to LR from the sidecars because that data does not exist in the video file, but it shows up in the LR metadata panel. If I instead upgrade the PSE catalog containing the videos, only the bare-bones file data comes in with the video files - none of the EXIF data from the sidecars comes in. LR doesn't even set a valid capture time for sorting in the grid view.
So I am drawing a conclusion that the PSE sidecar raw behavior is the same as the video behavior in this case. John - are you seeing sidecar extensions in the metadata panel in LR from imported raw files?
Thanks!
Jon

Feature-Request: Ignore or disable updates that are flagged "allowedOffline=false"

Updates (packages in MDT terms) that contain 'allowedOffline="false"' in their update.mum file will make the OS installation stop in the offline servicing phase (KB2533552 is an example). Wouldn't it be reasonable to check this flag when importing the
updates and disable the package in MDT or even refuse to import? Would make my workflow "grab all the updates *.cab detected by Windows Update from the SoftwareDistribution\Download folder and import them in MDT" a lot easier.

+1,000 I agree 100%. This is something simple that should be implemented into MDT.
I just upgraded my capture deployment share and was really really hoping that this would have been implemented by now.

Feature Request: Provide search functionality to procedures, functions and keywords in code

Have been using SQL Server since 1998, and been wondering why MS cant better the GUI , in terms of ease of use, as its done in Visual Studio and other such tools, though there are some enhancements like multiple window etc, would expect few more for easy
working for developers.
1) A search text box, in the SSMS interface, for searching stored procedures, functions, tables etc would be very useful, instead of expanding the entire tree and going through a long list to find your procedure or table, especially when you have a large
list of them.
2) Also a code search tool, like to find a keyword in the entire stored procedures, triggers and functions would be useful, currently we had to generate whole script and then find the keyword, and this is cumbersome, as you have to move back and forth to
find which stored procedure or function has that keyword etc.
Thanks.
