Feature Request: Asset-sharing

Adobe Illustrator recently posted a survey (Shared Content Survey) highlighting potential asset-sharing capabilities in future versions of Adobe CC applications. The lack of this seemingly logical feature has been a constant frustration for me and many of the designers that I work with. I am excited to see the development of an Adobe panel that would allow for congruency of assets in between the CC applications that I use daily. In the following paragraphs, I will try to highlight the ways in which asset-sharing would facilitate my design process and the transition between adobe programs.
Much of my work revolves around the layout and design of books, both print and epub. For these tasks, I depend heavily on the creation of style-guides (master pages, paragraph/character/document styles) in Adobe InDesign. The ease of style-guide creation in InDesign is what makes it such a pleasurable application to use. In fact, I often use InDesign for tasks that most designers would use Adobe Illustrator or even Photoshop. Though it is probably the least-powerful program in the Cloud, the simple interactivity of InDesign is what I am most comfortable using. Unfortunately, the style guides featured in Id do not translate to the other programs in the CC, which causes me some frustration when trying to maintain a seamless identity through the book's graphics, cover, and other designs that are not rendered in InDesign.
Each program in the creative suite has its strengths, in regards to asset-creation. InDesign is most powerful with rich text, where Photoshop fails to maintain that ease of use (naturally). I would love to see style-guides translate from Id through other CC programs such as Ai, Ps, and Mu.
Aside from rich text layout, I struggle to find congruency in color palette creation between programs in the CC. I am dependent on Illustrator's Color Guide for seamless palette creation, and would love to see a higher degree of transparency brought to the color-assets in the CC. I would very much like to see asset-sharing capabilities in the following areas:
- Style guides (character/paragraph/document)
- Color swatches - Illustrator's Color Guide should be incorporated in all programs
- Vector art and Pixel images
- Various tool style-attributes
Thank you. I look forward to seeing increased seamlessness between the CC programs in the near future.

The new update(Flash Pro CC release - November 2013) is now available to you; which has the Authortime sharing feature enabled. This Flash CC update will update your flash version to 13.1.0.217.
You can update from the Adobe Creative Cloud application or from Flash Pro CC Help -> Updates menu.
You will more information about the update at: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/whats-new.html

Shared Workspace Tags - Feature Request

A fellow Acrobat.com user brought up a great feature request, shared tags. Currently when you tag a document within a shared workspace, only you can see those tags. Others with access to the shared workspace do not have the ability to see the tags you created.

Thanks! Style management and reusable styles are a HUGE feature set coming to Reflow...won't be there immediately but very soon. Thanks for the input.

ITunes Feature Request: Shared Library Enhancements

I didn't see a section of the forum specific to feature requests so I'll just post here and see what kind of feedback pops up.
I use iTunes to manage the music library for my home network, then share the library to each system on the network. The only gripe I have is that I can not make my local systems load the artwork from music in the shared library. I am also a bit dissapointed that the "jukebox" view doesn't work for shared libraries, and that you can't make a playlist containing songs on a shared library.
I'm assuming these features were left out to conserve network bandwidth, which makes sense, however I think it should be an optional feature that that can be enabled for people with the hardware to support it. If you're running a gigabit home network then there is certainly enough bandwidth to spare to support this.
I'm a windows user and will always be, however I'm very impressed with iTunes and how efficiently it operates and handles tagging and other features. I just think that the shared library capabilities should be expanded. It'd even be nice if you could grant permission to a specific computer name or IP range giving systems permission to edit the library. Remote Desktop/VNC solutions work well for this, but it'd be nice to have an internal feature to support it.

Screen Sharing - Possible Feature Request

Greetings
Loving Jabber (but also work in an environment that competes with Lync)
Reality:
Staff have deskphones and some with attached headsets.
Some staff have video cameras.
Some have laptops with video.
Very few staff have headsets on their desktop/laptops.
Screen sharing is not available to a user unless used in softphone mode
Staff do not like to have to use softphone just to get a few features such as screen sharing working, then have to have a conference call with the rest of the office since they do not have headsets.
Staff love the video calling if they have a camera (similar to VT Advantage) and they do not have to be in softphone mode for it.
So.........
Is there a way to screen share without being forced to use softphone mode?
I think this might be more a feature request, not sure if there are other ways around it, I cannot find anyhting in product guides or online.
Cheers
Mike

Hi,
BFCP is not designed for the mode CTI control deskphone.
Be confident anyway, Cisco is working on this feature...No idea of release date. Wait and see...

Posting Feature Requests for others to Copy/Paste

I recently posted a Feature Request I sent to Adobe for another member to copy/paste as his own FR since he liked the suggestion (see the FR below).
After doing so, I got the idea that we could all do this: copy/paste FRs we send to Adobe into threads on this forum to help each other support the idea with similar requests, or even copy/paste the FR as our own. With limited resources and time, there's only so many requests Adobe can implement in every new version. That why it's so important that new features the Premiere Pro team invests their hard work and time on be the tools that would benefit the greatest number of editors. The more people back up certain ideas, the more likely they'll be implemented sooner than later.
There's power in numbers, so how about using this forum to share our best ideas and make it easier for others to add their voice of support? It's great that Adobe provides us with a way to send them feedback, but it's too bad that it's a one-way conversation with very little, if any, dialogue back and forth between the submitter and Adobe. That's why I thought it would be great to bring more of that potential dialogue here, where we can share ideas and support the creation of an ever better Premiere Pro!
If you've never posted a FR or BR (Bug Report) before, you can easily join the effort to make Premiere Pro become all that it can be, here: www.adobe.com/go/wish
Comments? Ideas? Please share!
Here's the FR I pasted in another thread, as an example.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Drag&Drop Modified clips into Project Window
How would you like the feature to work?
Ability to Drag&Drop clips with effects, motion settings, keyframes and/or markers back into the Project Window from the Timeline for later use.
Why is this feature important to you?
The Project Window is far better than Sequences for storing/organizing modified clips for future use, since it is:
Searchable
Sortable
Viewable in Icon and List views
Full of helpful metadata columns such as 'Video/Audio Usage'
Foolproof in that the original sequence can be deleted without losing any created subclips
Given these advantages, why only allow us to store modified clips in Sequences? Please fix this by allowing users to Drag&Drop clips from the Timeline to the Project Window while preserving all of their modifications (effects, keyframes, motion settings and/or markers).

Comments? Ideas? Please share!
As it has already been discussed in this thread (and duplicated threads are not allowed in Adobe Forums), the aforementioned feature request is mainly based on the false statement that an editor can either store raw clips in the Project panel or modified clip in the timeline. That's false because an editor can nest modified clip right in the timeline and the nested sequence will be automatically stored in the Project panel, turning into a regular reusable asset.
Unfortunately, the OP, as was also outlined in the duplicated thread, carefully avoids any mentioning this ability, which becomes your second nature if you use After Effects (which is unlike FCP is a part of Adobe Suite).
However, since the OP asks for sharing ideas, I do not hesitate to do this once again. Here is the feature request intended to improve the usability of such PrPro assets as 'Sequences' without breaking existing workflow:
*******Managing Sequences*******
It would be nice if managing capabilities for such assets as 'Sequences' were extended with the following features:
- similar live thumbnail view, which was introduced for footages in CS6. A small 'Sequence' badge in the top left corner of the thumbnail would allow to differentiate between sequences and clips;
- enabled metadata and ability to handle them like for any other regular asset;
- ability to remove empty audio or video tracks completely, i.e. get a sequence as an Audio or Video asset only;
- pop-up dialog box on hitting 'Nest' command, which would allow to give meaning name instead of default 'Nested Sequence XXX', contain 'Delete All Empty Tracks' checkbox and a button for advanced dialog for logging metadata right on a brand new asset creation.
These features would improve an ability to exploit sequences as reusable assets and preserve consistent applications behaviour throughout the Suite instead of breaking existing workflow by inventing new FCP style 'subclip with effects' type of asset. See this discussion in PrPro Forum for some more details:

Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)

More Options for Clock.
In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

Feature Request: List of linked contacts

hi there,
as there is bug with disapearing gmail contacts (those which are linked with SIM contacts if SIM card contacts display is switched off) i've tried to view all linked contacts and unlink them. i found the only way to do this is to go trough all contacts in list, check everyone is it linked or not separatelly. as usual contact list may exceed even 100 positions it is really hard task, or time consuming.
it wouldbe very nice to have:
1. a quick access to list of all linked contacts, so i may decide manually which one should be unliked, or:
2. maybe a little icon next to a contact name to indicate that contact is linked, or:
3. little icon at right side of the name which would indicate a type of storage: gmail, local phone, sim... contacts linked from few sources could have more than one icon.

Try this:
Once logged in, click 'All Files' from the top-left corner. Then click the 'Clock' symbol to 'List by when I viewed'
I realize it's not exactly what you've asked for, but it may be helpful!
I've shared this feature request with the Workspaces product manager too.

Feature Request: Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence? I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature. The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it. But the benefit is entirely lost on me.
In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else. I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere. Note: Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two. Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence).
Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep. But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc). Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point. After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit. If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit. And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance. This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline! It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
Does anyone else feel the same? If not, what is your workflow?
Feature Summary: Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature.

Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement and use of a 3rd party application that runs you into an issue.
Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else. Find footage in the Media Browser. Import it. Create a Sequence and start editing. Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline.
At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline. The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip. This works, but requires many steps per clip. Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable.
Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio. Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate. This is not something Pluraleyes imposes. It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines. This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track." Ideal? No. I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work. Period.

Feature Request (again); Adobe Bridge Cache Manager

In Adobe Bridge, the Cache is still a problem and a huge memory hog. I asked for a good Cache Manager over 3 years ago when it was needed CS4.
Now in CS6, I am disappointed that the cache system in Bridge has not changed. Why do you have a section in the Adobe Forums that asks for 'Feature Request' and then ignore them?

"I would personally like a tool within Bridge that allows me to manage and control the Cache in a more personal and effective way. I would like a toggle that would keep '100% previews' in one folder for a selected period of time (1 day to 1 month) before the folder's cache is automatically purged. And another toggle that would give me the option to keep a selected folder's cache permanently intact (such as an Important Portfolio Folder or an Edited Images Folder).
As a photographer, I take and edit a lot of photos. When I import a photoshoot with 1,500 photos (not uncommom at all) I enjoy having the Bridge Previews at 100%, but for only a limited time. Unfortunately, I forget to purge the individual cache of that folder and the cache builds to a point that makes Adobe Bridge CS4 very slow. I then have to Purge the whole Bridge Cache in order to make Bridge run smooth again.

If you submit a feedback poll where Yammer pointed you, and it gets a couple of hundred (thousand?) users agree you might get Adobe's attention.
I agree with Yammer that Bridge is a low priority project with Adobe. Think their target audience is the casual user with a few hundred photos added each year. Your use pattern is more specialized and you either have to adapt with scripts or move to another product IMO.
The size of cache takes a lot of people by surprise. It can grow humongous if you use HQ thumbs and save 100% previews. One can dump the cache in preferences, but many are reluctant to to this as they think it will delete all their keywords and edits. In addition, to do a search you have to re-index all your files, which can take a long time.
If you have "export cache to folders" checked, dumping the cache in preferences only dumps the central cache. To dump the folder cache you have to visit each folder and click on Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder. Again, most people do not recognize this. This technique purges both the central and folder cache for this folder only.
It the 100% previews are the problem for you it would seem like a simple task for the script people to write one that would delete it after xx days as the 100% previews are held in a specific folder.
Bridge is not a good digital asset manager. You are probably in that arena dealing with several hundred thousand images. Omke uses a DAM as it does some functions better than Bridge, but Bridge is still his main program. Can't remember the name, but if you read these posts you might have seen it.

FEATURE REQUEST: After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies

If you feel the needs in efficient proxy workflow, welcome to the club and don't hesitate to submit feature request.
Here is the adjusted to less than 2000 symbols feature request text:
***After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies***
It would be nice if PrPro offered AE style Placeholders and Proxies workflow. There are cases, where they are extremely useful, e.g.:
1. Huge modern formats and resource hungry codecs. Not all machines can easily handle 2k or 4k footages, some can't get real time playback even with AVCHD. Not to mention that CinemaDNG importer was discontinued partly because of inability to get real time playback in PrPro. The issue can be resolved via rendering previews, but that's not always the most efficient workflow.
2. In multicam editing issues mentioned above increase dramatically. Rendering preview for every camera angle is simply impossible. Although PrPro offers offline clips workflow, an editor can't easily see if the clip is currently linked to a source footage or a proxy, and switching between sources and proxies involves several steps every time one needs to switch: selecting assets, making them offline, right-clicking again to link to other media, locating files on a disk; while in After Effects it's just one click once a proxy is set.
3. Adobe Dynamic Link. PrPro communicates with AE projects via single instance of headless AE, which creates a bottleneck and entails the need to render DI for complex comps. Although AE allows to set DIs as proxies and, hence, enjoy the best of both worlds, instantly switching between DI and dynamically linked comp and no needs to replace anything in PrPro timeline, with hundreds of dynamically linked comps PrPro timeline becomes unresponsive and takes forever to render (for my rig test 30 min sequence built out of 935 dynamically linked comps, which are just source footages in their own comps, hence, the equivalent to rendered DIs set to proxies, takes around 27 hours to render, while 30 min sequence built out of the same 935 source footages renders in real time). Meanwhile, PrPro doesn't currently allow to link offline dynamically linked comps to rendered DIs.

As the person who maintains the feature request database for After Effects, I can confirm that the number of times an item has been requested is a major factor when we consider what to work on next. So are other factors, such as how hard the feature is to implement and maintain, how much testing is involved (often the larger concern than programming time), whether the request conflicts with something else that we are already working on, and so on. It is true that we consider not just raw numbers of requests but the details of who is making the requests---e.g., whether the requests are coming from animators or compositors, beginners or experts.
I can only speak for the After Effects team, but the Premiere Pro team works much the same way (which is unsurprising, since we are in the same group and have overlapping team members).
We also try to give some visibility into the most requested items with posts like this:

Feature Request: AE Collect Option in PPro Project Manager

While PPro Project Manager collects linked AEP projects, it falls short of collecting assets embedded with the AEP project itself. This results in the user having to re-open the AEP project, locate and copy the original embedded media to new location and relink.
Another option is to open the original AEP Project, perform a collectioning within AEP, then having to manually import and replace the media on the timeline in the newly collected PPro. Tedious considering the complexity of AEPs that can run several layers deep with many assets.
Is this feature possible to add in the next round of updates?

Feature Request / After Effects

Feature Request from Advanced Level User.
1. Copy and Paste Comp settings to Other Selected Comps
We are creating Motor Shows for major Automotive clients and often need to resize animated stings etc. in various different formats and clients often change things whenever they like.
When a client says could you change the resolution of that master render or the framerate then it would be great if you could copy composition settings and apply them to all the nested compositions that you choose. This should be similar to copying footage interpretation and pasting the info to a selection of video assets.
To elaborate, take the scenario where you have a file rendered at 1024x768 @ 30fps. The client says please make it PAL 720x576. Simple: you just put the master output into another comp and scale down to the new size. The 25fps would be reducing frames so that should be fine also. Now the client says they need a 1280x720p @ 50fps version that they forgot to tell you about. Now you could put the 1024x768 comp into the new 720p size and crop top and bottom. But you would have to scale UP the width from 1024 to 1280. Increasing the framerate would only work if you switched on collapse transformation in all of the nested comps, lets assume there are 50 of these due to the nature of this streamlined composite. Collapse Trans. or Grow Bounds is of course an option but not always relevant. Often the only way is to trawl though a chain of Nested comps and manually change size, framerate etc. The process of neatly nesting and working at the highest resolution needed is good practice. But often clients do not tell you about that 'big' version they need too, so speaking in hindsight is of little use. It happens often.
If you could simply change the size of the master output comp and then copy it's settings, select all the nested comps in the Project Window and then paste the settings into all the nested comps you would have saved a lot of time.
Shari.

Dear Steve,
Thank you for that superb feedback. It was a great place to start and eventually I arrived at a script called selected_comps_changer.jsx by Chris Green.
If anyone else needs it then it is here:
http://www.crgreen.com/aescripts/actual_scripts/Selected_Comps_Changer.jsx
It does exactly what it says on the box.
Many thanks again,
Shari.

Feature Request: Export catalog for 2nd editor/machine

Since there isn't a shared network environment for LR, to involve multiple editors or multiple locations for the same editor on large projects, I often need to export a subset of a catalog so someone else can work on it, or I can work on it off my laptop somewhere other than the studio, using only the proxy 1:1 previews to make my decisions from and then re-assimilate those edit changes to the master catalog of that job, usually back on my primary workstation. This process also allows me to start processing out parts of the job while other parts are being edited on other machines, or letting my primary workstation process while I use a 2nd workstation to continue editing at speed on.
I can make this happen, but it's all on me to remember which portions of the catalog have been exported, where their destination was/is, remember not to make any changes to that portion of the library while the subsection has been exported, and an over-lengthy and complicated merging of exported and internal catalogs.
It would be incredibly useful if LR could show the status (checked out for primary edit, checked out for client approval, etc.) of any exported catalog by mousing over that visibly different section and build in a preference for those varied conditions to potentially limit any changes to that subset of images while the export is still 'checked-out.' A true merge would be nice to allow possible overlaps of work on the same images, but a managed lock-out would be sufficient to start with.
As it is, the re-assimilation process for me involves removing images from the master catalog leaving the raw files in place, and re-importing the exported catalog which also necessitates the needless redundancy of bringing the 1:1 previews back in as well. At the scale I'm doing this it's overly time consuming, compared to the speed of just bringing in the library itself. The process also puts me in the place of deleting images from a catalog while they're essentially still in use, which is scary from a file management standpoint, usually with me having 4 and 5 copies of that library lingering around until all the manual merging actions are finished.

That's a feature I've asked for myself Brad, in the absense of true network use. As it's not likely to make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.

DVDSP Features Request??

Not that apple will listen but list any features you'd like to see in upcoming versions:
- I like to see some basic editing features - cutting and pasting MPEGs, basic audio controls and an audio scope please.
- Real Video output control
- Fully integrate Compressor with DVDSP - bring your assets in and be able to adjust your settings in DVDSP. If somethings not right - go back to the assets window and makes encoding adjustments and hit "submit"
- A frame-level bitrate viewer - this would be a biggie!
- Most of all - I wish Apple would design a spec level application. I spit on Sonic and thier crappy support team. Scenarist is a pain to use well. I sit thier all day and can think of endless ways to improve it. I wonder to myself why this poor excuse for a company doesn't have any real competition.

Oh boy. I've got a whole bunch of FR's. I'm actually putting them on my blog when I get a chance. Anyway...
>- I like to see some basic editing features - cutting and pasting MPEGs, basic audio controls and an audio scope please.
Sure. I think quite a few people would like that. There are OSX apps out there if you need the control right away.
>- Real Video output control
Yeah, this is high on a lot of peoples list. Would be great if we got that in the next version.
>- Fully integrate Compressor with DVDSP - bring your assets in and be able to adjust your settings in DVDSP. If somethings not right - go back to the assets window and makes encoding adjustments and hit "submit"
It seems like a lot people would like this too. I don't really use Compressor but I'm sure those that do would welcome it. It seems to me a happy middle ground may be better cause Compressor is more than just an mpeg-2 encoder. If all the options where visible in dvdsp that would cause confusion... I'd like a hardware option from Apple...
>- A frame-level bitrate viewer - this would be a biggie!
Yeah that would be cool. I should do a feature request list for MPressionist Pro too. I use Digigami's analyzer all the time but it would be interesting to see an apple version. One of the things I want back (but an improved version) is the dvdsp 1.x.x mux window. I think apple could make a very cool and informative version of this.
http://www.digigami.com/mpressionist/
>- Most of all - I wish Apple would design a spec level application.
Oh don't get me started on this one! I soooo wish that too. I do not want it to be part of the current dvdsp. I'd rather it be a very different app with no 'basic' mode, dropzones etc.
>I sit thier all day and can think of endless ways to improve it. I wonder to myself why this poor excuse for a company doesn't have any real competition.
Yeah I have a big list of things I'd like changed/added to Scenarist but I actually don't mind it. Why no real competition? Well my thinking is cause spec authoring is a niche of a niche market. Then you throw a mac only version into that equation and the numbers don't look great! Who are you targeting? Many editors don't want to learn about PGCs, VTSs and all the good ol' spec stuff. Many Scenarist users wouldn't switch to mac. Many mac users are happy getting apps for a few hundred bucks so may not want to shell out for a spec app and support! This is one we could talk about for ages and maybe others will step up for the HD stuff... we'll see...

Feature Request: Setting App page title to something other than "Eloqua 10"

Hello everyone,
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. As someone who has been using Eloqua for over 3 years, when working in the application, I will usually end up with upwards of half-a-dozen tabs open in Firefox, all of which say "Eloqua 10". Because of this, I'll usually try to strategically organize my tabs, but often times I end up having to click through multiple tabs to find the one I'm looking for, which can sometimes lead to Firefox freezing. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
So to alleviate this, I'd like to make the following feature request: Can we have the tabs/windows named by Asset Type & Asset Name? Perhaps in the following Format:
[Asset Type]: [Asset Name] - Eloqua 10
Note how I have "Eloqua 10" at the end of the string. An example of a title would be: "Campaigns: Nurture_Campaign_1 - Eloqua 10"
Could this please be implemented?
Thank you,
Sean

Here is a snippet of code that I wrote and use without any problem:
   public void ppPrint() {
      if (printJob==null) initPrintJob();
      try {
         if (!printJob.printDialog(aset)) return;
      } catch (Throwable e) {
   public void initPrintJob() {
      aset=new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
      aset.add(new JobName("AOKabc",null));
      aset.add(new MediaPrintableArea(.75f,.25f,7.5f,10.5f,MediaPrintableArea.INCH));
      printJob=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
/* locate a print service that can handle the request */
      PrintService[] services=PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
      if (services.length==0) System.out.println("Warning: No printer detected!");
      else {
         try {
            printJob.setPrintService(services[0]);
         } catch (Throwable pe) { }
      pageFormat=printJob.defaultPage();
      Paper paper=new Paper();
      paper.setImageableArea(54,18,540,756);
      pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
      printJob.setPrintable(Preview.this);
   };o)
