Feature Request: 7d Mark II - Add option to show compass direction in viewfinder.

Please add option to show compass direction in the viewfinder display.

That's interesting, I didn't know that they added new information to the viewfinder.  I agree, it's a nice addition.  That said, I'll still say that any change is unlikely for three reasons:
1) I'm guessing that the overlay is still some sort of LCD type technology, where you can't simply program in new information at will.
2) Even if I'm wrong and it is a customizable display, unless Canon programmed it with the intent of adding variables later it's probably more work than you think to add in a new feature and fully validate the design change.
3) Historically Canon has been very reserved with firmware updates.  Usually they're just to fix errors, not add features.  The one exception to that are updates to the 1Dx, which Canon seems happy to do.  As they should, for a $6700 camera.  But plenty of changes (such as the auto-ISO exposure compensation) could easily trickle down to other models.  Not to mention allowing reprogramming of rear panel buttons for things like AF mode toggle, or white balance (6D).  And they released the 7D2 with the same GPS battery drain issue they seem to refuse to acknowledge.  Sorry, I think the chance of putting a compass in the viewfinder is slim.  Just my opinion.
Your first 2½ points are valid, along with one you didn't make: Incorporating a compass into the viewfinder introduces a magnetic field in a location where you probably don't want one.
I think your third point is a bit overstated, however. The 7D (and I think also the 5D3) has had a fairly major firmware update during its lifetime that did include an additional feature that I thought was importatnt: the ability to name image files before they leave the camera. Since I have two 7Ds, it's very helpful to be able to see quickly which pictures were taken with which camera. And when I share photo shoots with my wife, it helps me tell my pictures from hers. (She uses a Rebel, which lacks the in-camera naming feature.)
All that aside, the value of an in-camera compass is at best debatable. If you actually need it, you probably want it to be accurate; and unless you never leave your home town, you'd have to recalibrate it often to keep it in sync with true north (or south). I think I'd consider it just another unnecessary distraction.

  • Feature Request: Blackberry Q10 Search Configuration Option to "SHOW ALL" Results without clicking an arrow to expand

    Hi,
    So my search function does not find "Contacts", in order to search for contacts I need to go into the "Contacts" application/menu. Previously, I would be able to search for contacts using the Global search.
    Not sure if this is supposed to be a feature, to separate searching for email content versus phone contacts, but I suspect it's probably a Blackberry Q10 glitch. 
    Oddly enough I added a contact called "Some New" now in the Search if I type "some" the "Some New" contact doesn't show up yet until I type "some n".
    Ah I see, so the Blackberry by default in the search shows only the first few results and makes me click an arrow to expand results.
    Perhaps a Default search setting to show ALL Results:
    phone variable(s)
    MYVER:
    OS:Q10SQN100-1/10.1.0.1483

    You have your mobile phone number listed as your "My Mobile Provider" or carrier. Putting your phone number out on the internet on these public forums for the world to see, is not wise. To change that, at the top of this page click on My Settings > Personal Profile > Personal Information, and in the entry block for "Carrier" type the name of your mobile provider.

  • Feature Request: Shortcut files to web pages should show the website's favicon

    If I'm viewing a website, and I drag it's favicon in the address bar onto the desktop, then a shortcut is created to the website. But, the shortcut always has the generic "@" icon. The feature request is to change the icon to include the favicon which I dragged, so for example, if I drag the Apple favicon, I would end up with a shortcut which looks like a document with the Apple logo on it.

  • Feature request for  Address Book: add possibility to Skype name

    I had "misused" the IM fields to store Skype telephone names, but the disadvantage is that they show up in iChat. I have tried to add them to the telephone fields (which is more correct), but that works only for those names which have alphanumeric charactes. As soon as you have for instance dots in that name, this does not work (on Mac OS X you are not able to make a skype named field via other, and syncing via MobileMe to the iPhone leaves out the dots and no way to edit them in).
    Skype is becoming more and more mainstream and I think that adding this functionality would be good on both Mac OS X as well as iPhone.

  • Feature request: improved interface for 'synchronize' option

    Hi,
    sometimes I right-click a package and select 'synchronize with database'. There's one thing that jdeveloper wants to synchronize all the time, but I don't want it to (something I need later, so I don't want to synchronize that particular thing yet).
    Currently, you can only 'synchronize all' or individually perform all synchronization tasks. I would like a 'synchronize all but ... ' feature. Or, in other words, maybe a set of checkboxes so you can select what to synchronize and what not? The 'synchronize all' button ould then just check all boxes, and there could be a 'none' button as well, and an 'invert selection' button.
    The 'ok' button would then perform the synchronization, and there should be a 'cancel' button.
    (Currently, the naming of the 'ok' button is inconsistent. 'ok' implies that it will perform an action after clicking it. It should actually have been called 'close' since it merely closes the dialog)
    Greetings,

  • Feature Request- Another level of categories​(optional)

    Hey. There are still way too many apps to scroll through in each category, for users convenience and for vendors to be found (discoverability). On the menu, you could put More Specific Categories, and users could select from an extra level of more detailed categories. Thanks!

    I guess you could have a go at it using the terminal. The recipe is here (under the Finder heading).

    I have not tried it nor do I necessarily recommend it. (Let me know if it works though).
    That site is actually what piqued my interest--I've actually commented there about the same issue. Unfortunately, the LocalizableCore.strings file is just a list of string elements to be used in the Finder interface--it has nothing to do with placement, ordering, etc. Localizable strings are what allow easy multi-language support in the OS. For example, each *.lproj folder in the Finder (or any app) Resources folder contains a set of Localizable strings (among other language-specific settings) that are specific to each supported language. The application chooses the correct *.lproj folder based on the system-wide language setting and renders the interface accordingly. For example, I could edit the English.lproj/LocalizableCore.strings and English.lproj/Localizable.strings files, replacing every entry with it's pig-latin translation. Viola, I've instantly converted the English localization to a pig-latin localization... anyway, I digress--none of this is relevant to reordering the Finder sidebar.
    Thanks for the heads up, Gunnar. Unfortunately, this one doesn't do the trick--I'll let you know if I find anything else.

  • Feature Request: Add Skype option to user name field in contacts

    Feature Request: Add Skype option to user name field in contacts
    I know skype maintains it's own names but this is so you don't lose everrything when you move from one place to another. Or need to skype someone from an internet cafe with your iphone.

    Why not simply add the field by modifying the template?

  • BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

    I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
    I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
    BUGS
    (Not listed in any particular order)
    (A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
    (B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
    (C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
    (D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
    (E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
    (F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
    (G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
    (H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
    (I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
    (J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
    (K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
    Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
    (In no particular order)
    1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
    2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
    3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
    4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
    5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
    6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
    7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
    8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
    9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
    10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
    11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
    12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
    13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
    14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
    15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
    16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
    17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
    18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
    Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
    I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
    It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
    The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

    This is a great post.
    I couldn't have written it myself better.
    I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
    But I second every point.
    I hope the tech teams are reading this.

  • Premiere Pro CC Feature Request: add multiple Markers at defined times

    I'm about to post a feature request and wanted to check to see if anyone else was interested, as I've read that forum support can help to get feature requests added - and also just in case this feature already exists, and I've missed it in my Googling...!
    Here's the request:
    Brief title for your desired feature:
    Option to add multiple Markers to a timeline at defined times
    How would you like the feature to work?
    It would be great to have an option in the Markers drop-down menu or to be able to right-click on the Marker icon in the timeline and be able to choose "Add Multiple Markers at xxx minutes/seconds/frames".
    Why is this feature important to you?
    I often end up creating a lot of montages, and it would be great to be able to use this feature to drop a Marker (for example) every three seconds in my timeline so that I can then add a bundle of clips using Automate to Sequence. At the moment, I do this by clicking on the Playhead Position hot text and typing in 00:03, 00:06, 00:09, etc, and dropping a Marker at each point, and this feature would speed things up a bit. I've also been asked by students if this feature is available as well.
    If anyone else would be interested in this request, please let me know...!
    Thanks

    Yes, that's true, when using my method described above, Prem adds each clip from the first frame and cuts it off when it reaches the next Marker, then I use the Slip tool to get them to the bit I like. I'd just like to remove the step of typing the time into the Playhead Position counter by dropping Markers at set intervals or by choosing to use the first xx seconds in the Automate to Sequence dialogue. Either way, the request is in now, but it doesn't look like it'll gain a lot of traction...!
    Cheers for the responses, Jim.

  • FEATURE REQUEST: Enhanced Texture Options in FW

    Recently, a forum user was asking how to change the color of a texture in Fireworks to red or blue. In particular, he/she was struggling with attempting to apply a texture to a white object, and it wasn't showing up.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006694?tstart=0
    The question got me thinking about textures, how they're created and how they're applied. Textures are a unique and distinctive feature of Fireworks. On the one hand, the interface for textures is very simple to use and almost magical; on the other hand, it's surprisingly limited. The concept is great, but the implementation seems only half-baked.
    With this in mind, I'd like to suggest a few simple ways that textures could be made more fluid and versatile in Fireworks.
    First, a little background...
    WHAT IS A TEXTURE?
    In the world of Fireworks, a texture is basically a type of pattern that's applied to an object. However, unlike a pattern fill, textures include transparency and integrate with the existing fill content (color, gradient or pattern). They're suggestive of textures in the real world, which are often tactile and defined visually by light and shadow.
    Texture graphics are most commonly grayscale ("black and white") in GIF or PNG format. Applied within the application, the graphics are converted "on the fly" to white-on-transparency. If the Transparent option is checked, the graphic is converted into a sort of mask, making the "textured" areas invisible instead of white.
    And that's about it.
    So what if you'd like to apply a dark texture to a white object? Sorry, it can't be done. What if you'd like to apply a texture in color? It can't be done. What if you'd like to reverse or invert the pattern of the texture? Can't be done.
    Well, in fact, these things can be done, but not directly. They require workarounds such as cloning the object and placing the clone above or beneath the original, applying textures as pattern fills (instead of as textures) and adding effects like Color Fill, Invert, and Convert to Alpha, or editing the texture file directly, saving out a new copy, etc. In short, there are unintuitive ways to accomplish these goals that lead to bloated effects lists and layers or that require extra time and care.
    HOW CAN TEXTURES BE IMPROVED?
    First of all, does it make any sense that textures are applied exclusively in white? Not really. In the real world, a texture can be defined not just by light but by shadow. And even shadows can have color. This means that, at minimum, it would make sense to allow for the application of a texture in black, and, at maximum, in any chosen color.
    Secondly, textures are relative. They represent change to an existing surface. Sometimes, it might make sense to highlight the texture itself; other times, the surface around the texture. This means that being able to quickly reverse the figure-ground relationship of a texture would be a very handy feature.
    With the above concerns in mind, I've devised three 'user interface' scenarios, presented here in order of most conservative to most extreme. The first scenario is the least powerful but still doubles the number of possible outcomes (compared to the existing interface). The second scenario may be the most logical of the bunch and represents a modest evolution of the existing interface, while increasing the number of potential outcomes even further. The third scenario allows for the application of any color to a texture but also represents the biggest change to the existing interface; that said, it's also quite compact.
    Scenario 1: Invert option
    The idea here is simply to add an Invert checkbox to the existing options. Checking this option would convert white to black, allowing for the application of dark textures to white or light-colored objects. In "Transparent" mode, this option would invert or reverse the figure-ground relationship of the existing texture.
    Scenario 2: Dropdown menu plus Reverse option
    Here, the Transparent checkbox is replaced by a dropdown menu that includes 3 mutually exclusive options: White, Black, or Transparent. Checking the "Reverse" option would invert the figure-ground relationship of the texture. This scenario allows for 6 possible outcomes in place of the existing 2, and is actually more logical than the first scenario, which conflates two options.
    Scenario 3: Color picker plus Reverse option
    Here, the Transparent checkbox is removed, and in its place, a color chip/palette is added to allow for the selection of any color to be applied to a texture. (Choosing Fill: None would create Transparency.) Again, a "Reverse" option would invert the figure-ground relationship of the texture. This scenario differs most from the existing interface but is quite compact and allows for the greatest number of outcomes.
    SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?
    I've submitted a feature request to Adobe's official site:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    When it comes to bugs and/or feature requests, every vote counts.

Feel free to copy and paste the feature request below or write your own. (Be aware that there is a 2,000 character limit to the "issue description" of a bug report or feature request, and the following report is very close to that maximum.)
    FEATURE REQUEST
    Product name: Fireworks
    Product Version: 12.0.0.236
    Product language: English
    *******Enhancement / FMR*********
    Brief title for your desired feature: Enhanced texture controls, including the ability to apply textures in black and/or color (instead of white), and the ability to reverse or invert texture.
    How would you like the feature to work? Three possible implementations have been outlined in this forum posting:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042206?tstart=0
    The basic scenarios are as follows:
    SCENARIO 1: An additional "Invert" option. Checking this option would convert white to black, allowing for the application of dark textures to white or light-colored objects. In "Transparent" mode, this option would invert or reverse the figure-ground relationship of the existing texture. This scenario would allow for 4 options in place of the existing 2.
    SCENARIO 2: Replace Transparent checkbox with a dropdown menu (White-Black-Transparent) and a "Reverse" checkbox. The dropdown menu offers 3 mutually exclusive options, while "Reverse" inverts the figure-ground relationship of the texture in each case. This scenario would allow for 6 options in place of the existing 2.
    SCENARIO 3: Replace Transparent checkbox with a color chip/palette and a "Reverse" checkbox. The color palette would allow for the application of a texture in any color, while choosing Fill: None would create Transparency. This scenario would allow for the greatest number of options.
    Why is this feature important to you? Textures are unique to Fireworks and potentially very useful, but their implementation is incomplete. The use of 'white only' means that textures cannot be applied to a white object. Inverting a texture or applying a texture in color requires advanced workarounds and can lead to bloat. The suggested options would make the feature exponentially more powerful and intuitive.

    Thanks, Jim! It is a very blog-like post. (I still haven't gotten around to starting a blog but keep thinking I should.)
    I figured the clearer and more thought-out the presentation, the greater the likelihood it might get implemented. Also, I was originally stuck on Scenario 1 as a solution, and writing this helped me see other options.

  • Feature Request: Add multiple photos to catalog at once

    The API currently allows you to use catalog:addPhoto() to add a single photo to the catalog.
    This works fine, but a poor user experience when adding a number of photos (esp. dozens or hundreds) - there's a separate child progress bar for each, masking the overall progress, and if the user has a sound enabled on import, it plays the sound on each photo import. If there were a way to import multiple photos at once (or API options/params to disable both of the feedbacks), this would make for a better UX when importing a lot of pictures.

    Sorry. I'm having a hard time finding my way around these forums, and the search is less than helpful.
    Please point me in the right direction.
    Edit: I found the correct forum now, and have recreated my feature requests there and deleted them from this forum (with the exception of this thread, which I can't delete at this point). My apologies.

  • Feature Request: Option to Not Autohide Video Controller

    Curently, when you enable the built in video controller it will auto-hide when the cursor is not over the movie. I'd like to request you make the autohide feature a checkbox option in the Video properties area and have the video controller stay on the screen as the default behavior. Here's why.
    When students come to a sheet with an enbedded video, they have no idea it's a video unless they accidentially move the cursor over the video area. It would be great to have the video controller always visible to let users know there is a video on the sheet, and would save developers some time from having to add instructions on the sheet to play the video. I'd like to remove any/all confusion the students might have in using content built by ROME.
    Thanks.

    Thanks David! This is now added to the feature request list.

  • Feature Request:- Option to reply to reply to emails in text

    Hi there....
    Is it possible to set up replying to emails to send text (with no html)
    If not, can i get a feature request to send emails in text, or is there an app that has this feature?
    It is sad I get maybe between 40 and 100 emails a day, that I cannot reply to on my Touchpad, or Pre 2, as they only allow text email return.
    as of 2007, there were over 109 million yahoo group members across 8.8 million groups. Mostly support forums, sending and recieving emails to and from 109 million people.
    These support forums and other ghelp yahoo groups, require emails to be received in text, and in our email apps had to set for text only, to avoid viruses and other attempts at marketting.
    I get my yahoo support emails, on webos, but cannot reply from webos, and have to wait until i get to my laptop with thunderbird.
    please can you add text send/reply option for those 109 million plus yahoo group users who cannot reply to yahoo groups emails.
    thanks....
    this is a major pain and must be for others.

    2- IMPORT this PSD file into Aperture
    3- CREATE A VERSION in Aperture by choosing to edit externally in Photoshop.
    4- Back in Photoshop OPEN THE ORIGINAL PSD file along with the new version
    5- LINK all the LAYERS in the original PSD file and DRAG them TO the new VERSION (holding the shift key down so they pin register)
    6- SAVE the new version in Photoshop
    7- Back in Aperture your version is now an exact layered copy of your original which will not flatten when reopened from Aperture into Photoshop.
    Obviously this process will be rather tedious if you need to deal with hundreds of layered PSD files, but if you are in that situation that implies you already have a workflow and a storage strategy that works well for you. So why change, especially to Aperture?
    Adobe Bridge or Media Pro or Portfolio are the obvious programs for you !

  • Palm, Have a request if you can add the option on webOS 1.4, PLEASE!

    Please add a simple feature.. well two.
    1) Please allow us to turn off auto-dim. I want my screen on my Pixi to be full blast. You give us these wonderful high-res screens, and they can only be used to their fullest potential during bright lights? Nooo, I want to use 100% brightness (no dimming) all the time. Just give us the option to do so.
    2) As an option or whatever, if we put AIM/Yahoo/Gmail accounts on our phone, don't let the contacts show up in the Contacts app. Give us the option to go into the list, and link the contact to the username they own. I have several hundred contacts on yahoo, and I had to create a seperate name with people who sign on all the time just so I didn't have a billion contacts in the contact app.
    I'm sure these things aren't hard to impliment. It would be so greatly appreciated if you could do this. It's been talked a lot over at PreCentral.net.
    Thanks!

  • Feature Request: Make a Setting Option for Export - Media - What to Render

    As I just changed after many years with Premiere Elements to Pro, I certainly find many things just anconversant.
    But there's one thing I really can't take: When I'm trying to render a project, there's a small selection list near the bottom of the "Export Media" window saying "export area". Here I can choose between "complete sequence", "work area", "sequence in/out" and "defined by user". This option jumps always back to "work area"!
    That's at least for me very unconveniant, because in 99+ % of my renderings, I need "complete sequence". Normally the software remembers the last used setting, but not in this case. I can imagine that one can fight about what's the best default setting: I Guess everyone is using Premiere differently. So in my opinion a predefined setting option would solve best for all: Just add one mor setting in the Presets section, maybe in "General" or make a new rubric "Export" or something. Just a place where everyone can predefine which setting for the export media area option he likes.
    No big deal, just one more presettings option!
    I hope I could make myself clear what I'm meaning
    Thanks in advance!
