Feature request: auto-save timer reset

The auto save timer currently runs continuously: every n minutes, it auto-saves if the project has changed. It should auto-save n minutes after the last save whether auto or not. That is, any save action should reset the countdown timer. Also, auto-save shouldn't start while a manual save action is in progress.

There is a better way.

Feature Request: Auto-save in Background

Here's a feature request I've submitted. If you agree, please submit your request to:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Background Auto Save
How would you like the feature to work?
Auto-save would work just as it does today, except it would work as a background process, as it already does in Photoshop (without the Autosave popup getting in the way of the edit).
Why is this feature important to you?
The current autosave feature is terrifice and expected in any application today, but the current autosave popup dialog is useless. It only has a "Cancel" button. What's the point? I can't imagine when I would ever want to cancel an auto-save. And let's say I *did* want to cancel. The dialog is only on screen for a second or so. That's not enough time for user interaction, but it is just enough time for my work to be interupted, and for me to potentially hit the enter key as I go to Render something at precisely the same time.

Hi cscouper2013,
Thanks for taking the time to point out that my BSODs might be a problem with my RAM! Yes, I'll test it with the program you mention.

While I'm thinking of it, too. Sometimes Premiere will do an auto save only moments after I've done a hard save. That also seems like something to address in the next auto save feature update. If I have my autosave increment set to 5 minutes, then it seems to me there's no need to do an autosave for another 5 minutes after my last manual save.
I fully agree! That's something I requested during the CS5 beta program. I requested that every time a user does a manual save, the Autosave reset its counter. So for example, if the delay is 10 minutes between auto saves, and the user does a manual save two minutes before the next scheduled autosave, the autosave counter resets to 10 more minutes. But with the better solution of the current project constantly being saved after each edit, as Jim suggested, this feature wouldn't even be needed anymore.
MonkeyEatsMonkey wrote:If Premiere could "borrow" that functionality, while still retaining a "save as" option for versioning, I feel like we'd have the best of both worlds. It would even make dynamic linking more seamless, since changes wouldn't require saving. Any thoughts from the community on this?
That would be a perfect solution IMO! And yes, retaining the 'Save As' option would be very important!
I also like the idea of automatic versioning/backups (could be renamed to 'versions' since with a constantly saved project file, automatic 'backups' would no longer be necessary.
To resume, based on what has been discussed in this thread, I believe these would be the ideal saving options in Premiere:
Autosaving of every edit in the background without slowing down editing performance (as suggested by Jim).
Ability to create a user defined number of automatic backup versions, by setting maximum number of versions and time intervals (as is currently the case with Premiere).
In other words, the current project file would constantly be updated as the user edits. The automatic backups/versions would be created at user defined intervals.
Users would retain the ability to create a copy of the current project at any moment through the 'Save As' and 'Save a Copy' commands that already exist in Premiere.
Pop-up Auto-save dialogue boxes and the 'Save' command would be a thing of the past!
IMO, this would truly give us the best of both words as MonkeyEastMonkey suggests: constant saving as per FCPX, with the comprehensive versioning options Premiere currently offers.
Anything missing?

OS: Feature request: Send message before reset

Hello..
I have a feature request for the OS for the BB smartphones.
When the phone is locked with a password and the number of attempts is exceeded, the phone's memory is wiped and reset to a near-factory state. This is good; it protects confidential information from falling into the wrong hands.
What would be useful is, just before the memory is wiped, to send an email message from the default account (probably to the default email account as well, but have this be settable) with information regarding what is happening, a timestamp, and a location as well. For instance:
This is an automated message from the Blackberry SmartPhone with the following information:
Phone number: xxxxxxxxxx
Serial number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<other information such as OS version, &c>
The number of attempts to unlock the phone has been exceeded. The phone is being reset and the memory cleaned.
Date: xx-xx-xxxx
Time: xx:xx:xx am/pm (TZ information)
Latitude: dd.ddddddd
Longitude: dd.dddddd
You may use this information to locate where the phone was at the time this message was generated.
Is this possible? Advisable? The serial number could be obtained by looking at the phone, so including it shouldn't be a problem. The phone number may or may not be included.
Thanks!
roger

OS X Lion-specific features (Versions, Auto-Save, Fullscreen)

Why have these not been implemented? Okay, there is Adobe's own version of Auto-Save, and fullscreen is there too (but not in Apple's way where you can use the app as a space).
Versions is the most wanted feature. Is it possible for Adobe to integrate these OS X specific features in the new Photoshop?

I thought I'd take a moment to outline OS X's fullscreen mode in relation to Photoshop's Full Screen Modes and explain why we stuck with our Full Screen Mode in the near term:
Here's the short story:
If we replace Photoshop's Full Screen mode with the native 10.7 full screen mode, then our users will loose the following functionality:
The ability to use multiple displays while in fullscreen mode
The ability to switch between different document windows while in fullscreen mode
This in not something our long time users have said they want to give up.
That said, we're pretty excited about full screen mode in Lion like you guys are, and it's possible that Apple may change the full screen mode in OS X in the future to include this functionality in the future – and we'll continue to evaluate if it meets all our users needs.
Here's the longer story with more details:
Photoshop's full screen model is a per display mode. This means that in multi-displays configurations, some displays may be in Full Screen Mode while others are not. Photoshop's full screen display can can also contain one or more document windows. When a display is in Full Screen Mode, then all document-windows on that display will be full screen when they are brought forward. Photoshop's model has two full screen modes: Full Screen with UI (including the OSX menu bar) and Full Screen without UI (in this mode the OSX menu bar is hidden).
The native full screen implementation in OS X 10.7 is a single display mode. When you enter fullscreen mode on a given display, then all other displays become dark (and windows are hidden on dark displays). Dark displays can contain UI for the active application (but not documents).
When you enter the OSX fullscreen mode, then a new (temporary) Space is created for the fullscreen window. Only a single document window lives in this new Space. This means that you cannot switch between different document windows while in fullscreen mode (command-tilde does nothing).
Here's the definitive/first post on Full Screen mode: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4282217#4282217

Feature request: auto-complete by typing Page Title (not only URL)

I'm switching from Firefox to Safari.
I really miss new Firefox auto URL complete feature.
Please add it in the future updates.
I can start typing a word in address line, and a drop-list of URLs appears with URLs AND Page titles.
Example of a desired behavior.
Lets say I've visited a week ago an article-page titled "World History" located here http://www.hyperhistory.com/onlinen2/Historyn2/a.html
Now week later I dont remember the URL, i want to start typing "world history" and a drop list appears of URLs with Page Titles that contain this in a page title (but not necessarily in URL).
Also if I would type "history" , i want URL "www.hyperhistory.com" to appear in results because it is part of an URL (doesnt matter if its the second word, it should be there.
Example of a drop list is here http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture2df8.jpg
Please let me know if that is possible with current Safari 3.2.1.

As far as I am aware it's not possible for Safari to do that.
We're just fellow users like yourself here, so it's unlikely your (good) request will be seen unfortunately. Send feedback to Apple via the Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... and/or http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Feature Request: In-App Time Keeping with Cloud Accounting Sync

Has Adobe ever considered adding In-App Time-Tracking to their applications?
I'm currently in the middle of catching up on my time-tracking. I'm two weeks behind… Don't judge me, you know you ALL do this . Anyway, I'm having a hard time remembering how much time I've accutately spent on certain tasks for certain clients. I usually go back into my emails to see who I was communicating with and what we were talking about, but that can only get me so far.
Then it occurred to me that there is no reason my Adobe applications couldn't track time for me. It would be a pretty easy thing to do. For example, while the application is open, it could clock both idle and active time and store that into a log. This could all happen in the background with very little CPU draw I suspect.
Active time could be determined by the app as—time spent in the app while the mouse or keyboard is being activated. If they aren't activated within 2 minutes or when the app is not being used, is in the background (i.e. User's browser, email, or other app is in-use instead), that's logged as idle-time. Idle time obviously wouldn't have to show up in the log. Maybe just as sidebar information.
At the end of the week, if I could export that log from the CC dialogue in my Finder, I could very quickly determine how much time I spent working on specific files, in specific apps, and on what days. Guess work eliminated!
Even better, if I could connect this information to my FreshBooks account, I'd save a TON of time doing time entry.
THAT is a feature I would LOVE to see in the upcoming updates.

I agree that a desktop app or access to the bookstore via the Web is essential for the iBook store to grow. For example, every Friday, I read the New York Times Book Reviews. To see more reviews, user reactions, and the Kindle price, I check Amazon. Once I'm there, it's a lot easier to buy the Kindle version than to open iBooks and check its availability there. Also, I have 600+ Kindle books. If I inadvertently try to repurchase a book, Amazon warns me that I've already bought it. No such warning (naturally) if I buy a previously purchased Kindle book from the iBook store. But if I could open two browser windows, it would be easy to check for duplicates. I want the iBook store to succeed, but it's time for an upgrade and soon it may be too late.

CS6 Feature request - Auto Blend CMYK

I need to auto blend CMYK imagery. Unless someone knows how to do this or it's been fixed in Cs5, I'll go ahead and make the request official.
Feel free to comment

Thanks for the quick and thoughtful reply Chris. I’m hoping that PS architects like you will see this as an opportunity, no make that a challenge to rise to. Please excuse the long reply.
While your premise that CMYK conversion is final step in an image editing process may be true for three channels of image data in a conventional prepress workflow, for the type of four band multi-spectral (RGB+IR) imagery that the geospatial community relies on more and more, this conversion is the first step when working in Photoshop.
We work this way because CMYK is the only color space PS recognizes that maintains data integrity between the RGB and IR channels. It’s not that geospatial imaging professionals like to work like this, heck the imagery looks just awful (before channel reassignment) and we are still limited when trying to do selective color adjustments. But for 90% of editing working in CMYK does the job. Until you need to ‘blend’ large image (multiple GB) composites together (say blend county A imagery into county B imagery)
Back to the auto align part. Using a wonderful plug-in toolset like Geographic Imager we can “auto-align” previously rectified, georeferenced images into geometrically accurate composite mosaics. These images originate from many different and competing applications, and my shop uses a few different ways to do it, depending on stuff I have nothing to do with. But, here’s the interesting thing for Adobe – as far as ‘auto’ defining where a seam is created and then ‘auto’ blending that image data together, however Photoshop does this – PS simply kicks ***. With RGB data, our techniques and Photoshop can actually produce technically accurate orthophotography with a high standard of ‘aesthetic’ quality. IOW, it doesn’t look like crap (been to Google Earth lately?).
All this workflow wonderfulness goes away with multi-spectral, and we keep trying to wrestle it back into a workable solution. Adobe would be wise to take notice of our needs. Geospatial imagery is becoming more and more ubiquitous (just watch your local weather on TV) and my job along with my colleagues is to create value for our customers and differentiate ourselves from our competitors on things other than price. Things like image quality. I still believe Photoshop provides me the best chance to do that, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon…

Feature request: jump to time in program

It would be great to enter a number of minutes and jump to that time in a program. Replay DVRs implement this by entering the number of minutes that you want to advance and then press the forward or backward advance. So when the FIOS DVR fails to present a "Resume Play" option one could key in 130 forward advance and the DVR will start playing the show at 2 hours and ten minutes.

Aww crap, wrong forum.... sorry.
But this is good to know for Audition
Thank you

Feature Request: Auto-Synchronize Folders

Hi
It is a hell of a palaver to synchronize a folder within LR when a new image is added. You have to go through the whole import dialog thing and then navigate back to the folder you want.
Would love a more streamlined process, preferably in which LR simply recognises that a new image has been added, and imports automatically without the user having to do anything, or failing that just importing and adding without the dialog box on a right-click option
Any thoughts ?

When you right-click on a folder and choose Synchronize Folder, the dialog that is presented has an option to show, or not, the import dialog. Uncheck the option. Any new photos in the folder (LR tells you how many it found) will be imported without "having to go through the whole import dialog thing".
I'd much rather have the control over what gets synchronized than having an "automatic" way that could result in lots of stuff in the LR catalog I didn't want.

Feature request: improve audio (track) fx workflow

Hey, this might have been suggested before but I just keep running into these limitations on an almost daily basis so thought I'd just add my request.
First of all, I really like having the option to have FX on an audio track (as opposed to on a per-clip basis). But it misses some basic workflow functionality.
1. We should be able to drag and drop FX between the slots, so we can change the order of processing.
2. we should be able to copy and paste effects between tracks and sequences. Very often I'll be making something like 5 variations on a spot and dialed in some compression on a voice-over in one sequence. But there's no way to copy these settings to the other 4 sequences (except to copy the entire sequence and then copy and paste back the correct video from the other sequences ... not ideal)
3. We need the ability to save and recall user presets for the audio FX and whole FX chains so we can re-use these throughout sequences and projects.
Hopefully the next update could add some of this much needed functionality and make Premiere Pro even better! (it's come a long way recently )

I'm just writing to say that you're not alone. I put in these feature requests a second time about ten minutes after I noticed they were missing from CS6.
The audio is getting so good in Pr, there's almost no need to go to Au or another DAW for mixing. But, they need to fix a few things, like the suggestions you and I made.
There are some bugs that need fixing as well. I've never gotten the noise reducer to work (I'm on Mac.), and some of the GUIs in CC are messed up for third-party VST plug-ins that work fine in CS6.
Dragging the order of FX would be great. So, would, option-dragging or copy/paste to make copies from one track to another.
And, the absence of having an ability to save audio presets is a major oversight. When I (often) start a new sequence whose settings differ from the original, I have to manually apply the same track effects, and then note settings manually from the first instance and apply the settings to the second instance in the new Sequence. Very time consuming.
Here's my list of feature requests from 4-25-12:

You'll see that a lot of them have been implemented.

Feature Request: Ultrabeat: Load Sample auto copy file name to Drum Voice

Feature Request: Ultrabeat: Load Sample auto copy file name to Drum Voice
I wish that when I load a sample into a drum voice, that it would automatically copy the name of the sound file I'm importing to the drum voice minus the extension. If I were importing BD01.wav I'd like for the drum voice to display BD01. As it is, I have to import the file, then name or rename the drum voice to BD01. When importing large quntities, this becomes a giant pain, and I'm looking for anything programmatic that could save me a load of time. When I think of all the time I'm going to waste...and if you multiply that by all the number of users...that's a lot of wasted time.
I wish of course that the program could suck up and autoload all of the sound files within a directory, names too, until the voices were full. Then I could just fine tune and kick out ones I don't want or want in different order. Not a big deal for users who are importing from all kinds of different sources, but say for impoting libraries like NI's Battery, it's a big deal.
Maybe these could be choices in the load sample menu.

Microsoft pulled the plug on DirectSound HAL in Vista due to lack of hardware support. The SAL exists for
software compatibility, good intention but bad performance as there is no longer a direct path from
DirectSound to audio drivers.
People choose DirectSound for its Direct-ness
but there is no reason to choose it now.
DirectX SDK was integrated
with WIndows SDK which ships with Visual Studio 2012 so you don't need additional downloads for
WASAPI and XAudio 2.
Just look up the documentation for headers/librarieslike every other Windows API you use. If you have a hard time to find the documentation then you need to go to search engines and find search engine tutorials.
There are plenty of samples for both WASAPI and XAudio 2, both in the Windows SDK and online. The DirectX team has some suggestions on which to use on their team blog.
You can find experts for those APIs at the Windows Desktop Pro-Audio Application Development forum and the
Audio/XACT forum on MSDN (link left out for you to practice your search skills). Again, it is fine to ask for hints but don't ask the whole
solution. You are competing with others who just need a hint to finish work here. The time spent on working on your assignment would be better spent on helping on giving hints to others.

I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere.

No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

Version 1.2.0.2998 (Windows XP) "Save As" feature request

The "Save As" dialog does not remember the last directory saved to, nor can I find a way to customize the three Location buttons (Project, Home, Work) or add any additional Locations.
If I save a package body as "R:\foo.pkb", the next time I "Save As" from the same window, it reverts to saving in my home directory (C:\Documents and Settings\username" with a ".sql" extension.

As stated in the Feature Requests sticky post, requests go to the Exchange.
There you will find various requests about this already; vote and add comments on them.

(feature request) Save bookmarks

I've been using sqld to do some pl/sql development recently and it is great. A feature that would make it even better would be the ability to save bookmarks. If I have a package nicely bookmarked it's great....until I shutdown sqld. At which point all my bookmarks are lost. This essentially makes bookmarking useless. I'm not going to bother setting up bookmarks if they're going to be lost every time I shutdown.

I like the idea. Please post over at http://sqldeveloper.oracle.com under feature requests so that people can vote on it.

Auto Save/Cache Feature?

Is there any chance Photoshop can develop a Auto Save/Cache feature, kind of similar to what Microsoft Word and other programs use?
If you're not familiar, if the program crashes or closes without saving, upon re-opening the program, it gives you a message to recover the unsaved data.
I'm tired of constantly getting crashing glitches in my photoshop program that causes me to lose all the work I've done.
I know the simple solution is to constantly save your work, but when I get into the zone with my work and I start getting on a roll with my artwork, I don't always remember to save.
I can work for a few hours when I get into my zone, and when the program glitches and crashes, all that data, artwork, inspiration and time is lost forever, and it is very discouraging.
I think developing an Auto Save/Cache feature would greatly benefit the program and help artists like me greatly.

Noel Carboni wrote:
Though it always seems to work for me, some Windows users have reported that it doesn't actually auto-save for them.
They need to move to OS X, then. It has better aesthetics, too.
