Feature Request: Cloud Based Library Sync

I'd like to request the following feature for Lightroom 5:
Like many photographers, I use a notebook for field trips, and a MacPro for home. Life becomes painful when I come back from a shoot, as I transfer all my images to the MacPro, but still want to keep the ability to edit them on either machine. What I'd like to suggest is a Cloud Service where all of my directories are synced to the cloud, and on each machine, I have the ability to sync any directory down to that machine, and point to a local directory to find the RAW image files. Then if I make a change on in meta data, or develop, those settings (which are small amounts of data) should sync to the other machine via the cloud.
This would be an enormous productivity boost.
Thank you,
David

It would be lovely, but even the 100 Mbit lines that are appearing in Korea and other places would be so slow.
I'm sure there is an equation to calculate the time for 16Gb to be passed over at 10/100 Mbit line, but that was not all of my shoot yesterday.
4 questions for you
Q- How quickly does a your card reader write to your hard drive?
Q - what is the read / write speed of your card?
Q - what is your internet speed rated at?
Q what do you get realistically downloading a large file from a website?
Answers from my ISP and hardware
A - 1 x 24Mb RAW every 2-4 seconds
A - rated at 60MB/s
A - rated at 10Mb
A - I sometimes get 1000Kb/s
based on my answer 4, a 24 Mb file downloading on my line would take
24 seconds...
I took 700 photos yesterday, ie ±16 Gb
24 x 700 = 16,800 seconds or 280 minutes.
1Gb is taking ±18 minutes
On the assumption you can wait over 4,5 hours to get the images to your large computer which is probably sitting on the desk next to you, (next to your adsl router with network capability) that 16 Gb is just over 2/3 of my monthly ADSL capacity.
Then I want to edit / remove, tweak, make a nice 16bit Tiff of one of the images - 160 Mb....
I've made a pano from 6 images that I combine in Hugin, then take back to LR to edit, its another 16 BIT 14,000 by 3200 px TIFF... 800 Mb - a 15minute upload time.
That and I am not alone as a photographer with having several Tb of images, and that is a fair load of image data. Costly in time to squirt that all to the cloud, and when you hit CMD + S to update all the Metadata when you Geotag 1000's of images, another few days of updating every DNG or RAW/JPEG/TIFF sidecar.
What about your previews, would you keep them local or also on the clould?
You are asking for speeds and power required from a service that are just not available yet and logistically for a while.
realistic workarounds
suggestion one
Set up a server at home, with all your images one one large fast stack of hard drives and at least all your images are referenced from one place.
Have you tried working with LR over WIFI..... it is so slow.
speed it up by using network cables.
Suggestion two
I have all my images on several firewire 800 hard drives and at the moment swap the cables from one computer to another. Using a network cable I would not need to swap the cables over, - but I'd need network capable hard drives which I dont have.
As per the 2 responses above you've hit a physical barrier, pictures move faster thru cables than the air, and putting loads of pictures through the air will be slow, costly and frustrating.
to the future
Put it in as a feature request for LR6 and hope that in 4 years time that we all have access to 100GBit/1000Gbit dual band bi-synchronous DSL free internet so that them bits can zoom in and out of the cloud at speeds than make thunderbolt look slow. Then we'd be talking, but hey my new Canon D1HhellOfAnAmazingNewNumberingSystem 2016 camera has 800 Mpixels with 20Bits of data for each pixel... each photo is 2000 Mb.....
Maybe there is new hardware around the corner where you can make a local cloud in your home or office  - wifi and network based hard drives? Now all you need is some way of synching the LR5 database.
I will plus one your suggestion and agree there is great merit in it.

  • Feature Requests for BlackBerry10 OS: Sync Google contact grops to BB Contact groups

    Hi,
    I am using my Z10 and as well a Q10 for already one year now.
    What I am still missing dramatically is the opportunity that my google contact groups get also synced into groups in the BB device.
    I am using several groups to inform different teams with emails or SMS. All of them are organized in groups on google - unfortunately BB10 is still not able to sync these groups - and I am talking about 390 contacts :-/
    Is there any plan to integrate this feature?

    I don't know if there is any coming funciton for that.
    You can create those Address Book Groups in your device Contacts app.

  • Cloud based file sync for SBS?

    Hey All, I don't know if this already exists or if you know of a software program that can allow this. I have a large handful of SBS clients and non server environments. I would like to possibly host a server and then have my client's SBS server sync their
    files to my self hosting server. The idea is to give my clients greater piece of mind and quick access to data in the event of a catastrophe. I know programs like Crashplan are out there, but does it support SBS with Exchange?

    Hi,
    Do you mean the online backup for SBS? If the OS version is Windows Server 2012 Essentials, maybe we could use Windows Azure Online backup. For details, please refer to the following article.

  • Feature request for iTunes: Rating from iPod to Library.

    I'm not able to send feature requests via the 'Provide iTunes feedback'. So I'm posting here. I use my iPod more often to listen to music than my computer. I don't have time to sit at my machine and rate files. But My commute is an hour so I've got a LOT of time on the train & bus to rate my songs as I listen to them. However when I plug in my iPod to update it, etc. the ratings on my iPod stay there and my songs in my library stay unrated.
    I'd like for there to be an option for this. To be able to transfer song ratings from my iPod to my iTunes library.
    Many thanks for the music.

    Please teach me how to use this feature because it doesn't work for me. Even after restoring my iPod. Please note, I'm using an iPod Nano and I manually control my library & iPod. There is no syncing of playlists nor libraries.

  • Creative Cloud Feature Request

    There is no option for selecting "Creative Cloud" in the Adobe feature request/bug report form, so I'll post my request here. When syncing files to Creative Cloud, I would like to have some kind of progress indicator, with an estimate of when the syncing will be complete. It is rather disconcerting to be syncing large files to the cloud, and not knowing how progress is going.  Currently, the app just reports "syncing" with a spinning wheel. That is not enough information. Other cloud file services have this feature, so it shouldn't be a big deal for Adobe to add it.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your email. We already have a a progress indication build right into Creative Cloud. This will give you a time left until syncing is completed.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Applying Library Icon bug (or Feature request)?

    I am curious if NI would consider this a bug, or if it should be a feature request on the Idea Exchange.
    I typically have some small footprint VIs in a library/class/etc (i.e. they have a small icon).  In these cases I don't like to use the library icon.  In the Icon editor, I simply hide the NI_Library layer, and everything is fine.  Except, if I make a change to the library icon, LabVIEW, makes the layer visible again.  I am guessing that LabVIEW is actually deleting and adding the layers.
    Regardless, shouldn't LabVIEW check the visbility status of the layer and keep it intact after the update?
    This is all in LV2011.

    Hi Matthew,
    I tried to duplicate this behavior on my machine and it seems to be a bug.
    I'm going to create an CAR (correction action request) and I'll give you the update for this error.
    This is the number of the CAR so you can keep track of the bug for future releases. CAR : 349073
    Thank you so much for helping us to improve LabVIEW.
    Have a great day,

    Feature Request: TGA image previews in Creative Cloud Files (app & web) when browsing files in web and iOS App

    On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.

  • Feature Request: File Management for Creative Cloud Mobile

    I like the new Creative Cloud app but I am surprised that it is not possible to manage any files or folders.  This weakens the usefulness of the app since it forces a user to use the creative cloud website for this.  This should be part of the app and would improve the functionality of the app.

  • AD sync service account for cloud based application

    i have a cloud based application that i am setting up AD sync with. in their directions below i have bolded the ones i need answers too. my domain functional level is windows server 2003
    The active directory synchronization requires the following:
    A domain user which has the following properties:
    The password is known and does not expire - completed
    The domain user account has read permissions to all objects in the entire domain within active directory
    Confirm that if the domain has been upgraded to Windows 200x functional level from Windows NT4, 2000 or 2003 that we have the appropriate Group permissions below available to the domain user account for the synchronization in addition
    to read permissions to the entire domain:
    Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access
    Pre-Windows 2003 Compatible Access
    The username and password are passed using the appropriate communication channels - completed
    i have created a service account in my AD called myappldap. does a domain user have read permissions to all objects in the entire domain within active directory without adding the to any other security groups except domain users? Or do i have to click on
    the top level domain object in AD>go to properties>security>and give them read permission and proprogate down those premissions? Also i do not see Pre-windows 2003 compatible access as a security object i can give this service account read permissions
    to. i just wanted to confirm that this is because i am still running a functional domain of windows server 2003?

    A domain user has complete Read on everything in the forest.
    As for the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible group, that's a reduced security group to allow NULL password for pre-Windows 2000 DCs, such as the way NT4 RRAS (VPN servers) used. In Windows 2000 and newer, we can eliminate that group, since it's a security concern.
    More info to read up on it, here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e8dfacba-985f-4042-abeb-f341bf37522f/prewindows-2000-compatible-access-group?forum=winserverDS
    Everyone group does not include anonymous security identifier
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278259
    As for Pre-Windows 2003, I haven't come across anything that would say
    pre-2003.  It almost appears that the software is using NULL or some other kind of reduces security on the password. Then again, I could totally be wrong. Is that specifically how the third party software specifies it in the docs? 
    Can you post a link to it?

    This thread has been closed and is continued in this new thread here: 
    Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1
    Please click on that link.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Let's use this thread to list BlackBerry10 OS feature requests. There's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
    Please let's keep it to feature requests with simple short statements and comments, in this manner:
    1. Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
    2. Personal distribution groups Address Book
    4. Add BBM Group icon to home screen
    **This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
    So, what would YOU add to BB10?
    What do YOU need to make the OS platform work better for you?
    Here are the collected feature requests as of 04 April 2013. Thanks for Ride_The_Sky for helping collect these from this thread.
    There are listed in no order, just as collected.
    Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easily pressed when retrieving from holster)
    Personal distribution groups Address Book
    Add BBM Group icon to home screen
    Way to add line carriage to BBM messages
    Why doesn't the most used name come up first? <- In latest OS, there is another line with most common contacts, but when typing it won't provide most commonly emailed contacts.
    Bring back the option "Send As" or include this option in "Share"
    Enable word wrap when zooming in to emails and messages.

    Offer Balance without BES to have two workspaces in device.
    Delete on Server/Device/Both
    Delete on Server but Keep on Device (This is going to be tough since EAS does not work like POP, using POP you can do this by deleting on server after sync)

    Swipe half way up the screen to minimize an application to an active tile.
    Swipe it all the way up the screen to close the application.
    Playbook app switching gestures (swipe sideways, I guess this won't work since there are other gestures associated with side-swiping)
    Lock screen with gesture (or maybe they should just add a button on home screen, somewhere on top or bottom)
    Airplane mode on status bar options.
    Option to customize status bar with select Settings/Options.
    Colors for Hub!
    Face recognition for camera, being able to associate contacts with faces or pull info from Facebook, etc.

    Sorting and Ordering of the way contacts are displayed depending on account.
    While editing an entry in calendar, notification about a recent call may cause loss of data in that entry.
    Location for Calendar entries and be able to see it on the map with a tap.
    Being able to see multiple pictures from an email by swiping left and right to see next/previous without having to reopen (I must say the same thing is needed for App World, why can't we just scroll through screenshots??)
    Multiple flags or ability to set a flag date, associate with a reminder.
    Move people from TO to CC or BCC easily (If I may add, also ability to backspace to delete a contact without having to tap the X in blue box).
    Option to add favorites to Hub for easy to reach contact management (I think it is same as going to contacts and choosing Favs)
    Being able to answer and make calls when the phone is locked.
    Add more colors to LED notification (I think they are there now, orange, green, red so far, did not see blue, I don't think blue is needed in my opinion)
    Change the way to add date and time for appointment, rollbar is too slow and too sensitive.
    Dismiss and Snooze buttons for Alarm to be different colors, larger, easier to notice.
    Make it easier to order world clocks, instead of the order they are added.
    Alarms based on days/schedule.
    Easier way to get to the bottom of e-mails (I think it scrolls pretty fast, I think poster wants "B" shortcut)
    Easer way to get to the bottom of web pages (same as above, space or B shortcut?)
    Add option to ask if you really want to dial, instead of just dialing right away every time a phone number is clicked/tapped on.
    Ability to resize image before attaching to an e-mail.
    More than 30 days email sync on device, please!
    Make BB boot up slower, so we can actually get to do something else while waiting for it to start!

    Volume lock/unlock button on demand.
    Auto Run app on device boot up.
    Lock or Pin apps.
    Ability to run background apps (Google Talk is running in the background, or it is tricking me, I don't know but I am getting messages from it when it is shut down on BB10, I hope they do Skype the same way)
    Ability to have multiple documents of same type open at the same time (tabbed docs2go)
    Calendar sharing of BB10 users in the area/company/group.
    PIN Messaging to return.

    From Call Menu when going into contacts, it should be ready to search with keyboard out.
    Option to customize volume key to act as page up/down, etc depending on app running.
    Red star in app world (means you need to run Updates, just refresh and check by swiping down from top)
    Better headphones with the phone (hey, we didn't even get any!)
    Better night shots in camera (hardware or software improvement?)
    Ability to choose which address book to sync with bluetooth car.
    When app is opened from a folder three or four pages into apps list, we hope the screen can go back to that spot when the app is closed (sadly it uses active frames at the moment)
    Change acceptance of auto corrected key, instead of space key, make it something else (actually, you can just backspace to un-autocorrect it back to what you typed).
    Ability to load certificates (X 509 S/MIME and/or PGP/MIME) from a computer
    Ability to sign and or encrypt emails (POP3)  before sending (As in MS Office Outlook)
    Ability to receive and recognize signed and or encrypted emails (POP3) (As in MS Office Outlook)
    Add a password/certificate manager that doesn't require manual copy/paste
    Ability to encrypt the memories Device and Media of the Q10 like it is done for the BB9900
    Ability to encrypt selected folders (preferably by Private Key)
    Ability to create Self-Decrypting Archive like in PGP
    Ability to delete email-messages by group as an alternate option to one by one
    Opening Video-chat to non-BBM users (Skype for instance)
    For above encryption request, SecuSmart was suggested...
    Renaming the file without extension can break the file or hide it from pictures list.
    Wallpaper scrolling sideways.
    Standalone e-mail app (not sure how different it is than choosing emails-only for hub)
    Different colors or small tabs in different colors for different accounts in Hub.
    Share webpages with smart tag (I think you can just create it by pasting the URL into create QR)
    Application management (being able to see which app takes up how much space, etc..) CPU/Memory/Battery Usage/Data Usage/Storage Usage in more details
    Custom vibration options.
    Move Send button in BBM to avoid accidental submission of message
    Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
    Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
    Single key press to change profiles.
    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)
    Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
    Call Recording
    Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails,  or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
    Customize email signatures with formatting.
    Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
    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)

  • Adobe Creative Cloud will not Sync Any Files/Folders (MAC OSX)

    I am posting this more as a guide for people having similar issues than I am a question, as it has already been resolved but I could not find this answer anywhere on the forums.
    Here was my situation:
    After a fresh install of a completely empty creative cloud account, Creative Cloud is unable to sync any files or folders.
    In order to troubleshoot the issue, I created a single <folder> and 1 file (Instructions.txt) inside my Creative Cloud Folder that needed to sync. Remember, this was a brand new install on a brand new account.
    I then attempted to sync.
    Here is an excerpt from my CoreSync log, so that you can see the errors being generated:

    I called Adobe Customer Support, and after explaining the situation, was first instructed on how to save a file to my Creative Cloud folder. Just a note to Adobe, when a customer sends you a detailed log file and tells you they have already tried certain steps from the forums, don't start at using Adobe 101.
    Customer service insisted that I try deleting options.tix again. I did so, following the instruction posted here: Re: I can't sync to my files In the CC desktop app
    This did not work.
    Support then requested that I navigate to /Users/<my username>/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/ and rename the "CoreSync" folder to "Coresyncold".
    Upon doing, killing "Adobe Creative Cloud" and "CoreSync" processes, and restarting the "Adobe Creative Cloud" Application, all syncing functionality worked correctly.
    To summarize, this fixed the issue:
    Rename "CoreSync" to "Coresyncold" (Functionally, the same as deleting it)
    Kill "Adobe Creative Cloud" and "CoreSync" Processes
    Restart "Adobe Creative Cloud"
    Here is the process as terminal commands:
    mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CoreSync ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CoreSyncOld
    killall Creative\ Cloud
    killall CoreSync
    open -a Creative\ Cloud
    Good Luck,
    Michael

    Hi, Thanks for the reply.  Everything worked fine until I updated to CC14.  after that, I receive conflicted file messages. So, I archived all my files that were in cloud.  I opened each file on my Mac and re-saved them using SaveAs so I was sure the file was in the CC14 format.  I uploaded each file to the cloud as they would not synch.  Now when I work on a file I get double the files showing the original file (with the old upload date) and the conflicted file on my Mac.  I have no idea now which file I am actually using is the original file or the conflicted file.  Still today, nothing synchs - I get the "Some Files failed to Sync" message - click Learn More and the message tells me that the cloud is working perfectly... but it's not... my files aren't synching... I have worked on two files today and neither have synched.  It's the weirdest thing...

  • Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1

    So, with 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 now officially released on the Passport and Classic, let's look forward!
    What feature request(s) would you like to see included in future updates, say OS10.3.2 and beyond? Of course, there's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
    Please post your feature request below, and let's make sure BlackBerry has a good reference point for user-input on what we'd like to see.
    Let's simple short statements AND please add the value of your request (i.e., why that feature request has value to you):
    Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
    Implement a shutdown confirmation screen to the top edge power key before shutting down (many pocket carrying users complain of device shutdowns in their pocket).
    Allow BlackBerry Protect to automatically backup and restore personal data, such as contacts (I trust BlackBerry to protect our data and other third party apps can do this already).
     **This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
    So, what would YOU like to see beyond 10.3.1?

    Cool! I was waiting for this, there are a few things I would like to see.
    OS 
    - No frames option (for the people that want this), this means that you swipe up it will never go to a active frame
    - Keep swiping to close, when you keep swiping up it will close the app/frame (like on playbook I think it was)
    - Auto reboot, choose a day, time when your phone restarts (and unlocks after reboot) this is nice for people that want their phone to reboot when they sleep so they have a fresh start and don't have to reboot during work day 
    - Alternative keyboard, everyone knows the BlackBerry keyboard is awesome.. but allow developers to create own keyboards (native, no android port)
    - Themes, One reason why people jailbreak iPhone or use Android or loved BBOS. Themes that will totally transform your phone, keyboard, colours will be nice for people that want to customize their device
    - Font type change, this was possible in BBOS. Some people like to have a different font.
    - Completely light OS, this is something personal; some people like dark theme, some people like light.. but with the latest BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 it is still mixed up, some parts are light some parts are dark. When selecting light theme everything should be light, all core apps, buttons, everything, when you select dark everything will be dark, and then there will be a customize option where you can set it for each app (core apps and layout) how you want it
    - Show date, time, signal always on top-option, Remember.. screenshots on internet are shown a lot, when posting a screenshot of a BlackBerry 10 app nobody knows its BlackBerry, with BBOS you always had time, signal, on top people knew it was a BlackBerry and would be nice to get this back, plus no need for swiping up to see the time
    E-mail
    - Able to create filters, example move e-mails from this person to this folder, and give them this colour or move everything with this word in header or subject and delete it forward it and more.
    - "Out of Office", able to set out of office for work emails / accounts as automatic reply
    Hub
    - More colours, now there are only a few
    Keyboard
    - Emoij button on the keyboard (including special characters)
    LED
    - More led colours and settings
    Cloud, Sync and backup
    - Create backup from your device instead of BlackBerry link and backup them to any cloud storage (or blackberry cloud)
    - Sync bookmarks and settings with your BlackBerry ID
    - Sync remember with your BlackBerry ID
    - Sync Wi-Fi networks and passwords with your BlackBerry ID
    - BlackBerry Cloud storage (5 or 10GB free and pay for more?)
    Blend
    - Webblend access your phone from a secure BlackBerry website so you don't have to install any program on a computer you maybe will only use for one day.
    BBM
    - Multiply login, access BBM on more devices (including a web version) at the same time
    - PIN transfer, take your BlackBerry PIN to your new device. I really liked my old BB pin but when I sold the device I lost it, it would be nice to be able to "keep" my BBM pin or get a personal pin
    - Add user my phone number if linked, BBM Pin is awesome but allow users to also add people with phone number so you can give your phone number or pin If my contacts get BBM but forget to give their pin they will just show because I have their phone number
    Device

  • Feature Request: Several Key Items

    I am not really new to DPS. Have been publishing under contract for my client for the last 2 years now and it's been going great. However, there seems to be a few things we wish for that we can't seem to do. I figured this is probably the best place to request these features, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that somehow these make their way into an update or are considered maybe for other program features (you'll see what I mean later when I get into it).
    1) It would be nice if we could produce apps for android phones as well as tablets. I am more of an iOS guy but we do have a bunch of users who want to access these folios on their phablets and android phones but cannot get access to it. I don't know how complicated this process might be but it would be a great feature to add in any upcoming DPS releases.
    2) We are using DPS for publishing but we have been requested to use it in an "app style". The client wants this because they are comfortable with DPS and happy that their staff can use pretty much all the adobe suite programs. Maybe an ability to disable the browse toolbar (where the thumbails for articles show up and navigate). This way we can create a single page with MSOs and trick the user into thinking they're in an app instead of a digital magazine publishing platform app. This would work great for companies that want an app to accompany their magazine and display info about the company, how to reach them etc instead of having certain pages within the magazine.
    3) A muse widget. I would love if we could directly export muse files directly into DPS (say, as if we were importing an image). I know this may be much to ask since this isn't the Muse feature request board but it woudl be nice to be able to export it as a widget that will automatically package it into an element with all the required files to import into DPS.
    4) As muse and DPS are both great apps for designers who don't know how to code, maybe one or the other, or creating an app that is based off of the two could be an excellent choice for deisgners. There is a huge gap in the market for app builders. Muse is mainly a web builder and DPS is mainly for publishing. I think if Adobe could maybe mash the two into an app that helps users build basic apps. Imagine being able to make an app the same way you do in DPS? Having preset widgets such as capture image from camera, use geolocation, upload to server or whatever. I'm not too verse in this but it'd be nice if I could use an Adobe app to build an app that wasn't just a digital magazine. Maybe my lack of knowledge in this area is simplfying the whole process so forgive me if that's the case. From a business perspective it just seems that there is a huge gap for this, and maybe Adobe can conjure something up for the Adobe Faithful.
    5) Automatic web viewer. Would be nice if whatever displayed on my iPad can automatically shoot up into a web viewer linked to a business catalyst account or a specified server as an HTML5 file. Again, I haven't gone too much into the web viewer version so forgive me if this already exists, but I have looked through some documentation and not really found much on it.
    6) WIDGETS! More widgets like muse would be a life saver! Maybe something like a slideshow instead of just having the MSOs fade in and fade out, maybe allow a widget to do a slideshow that snaps into place everytime you swipe. It seems more natural since a lot of the apps function this way. Widgets also open up a lot of doors, maybe allowing users to create their own widget and housing a widget library on the adobe website?
    Just some thoughts, not sure which ones are really doable but I figured it's worth a shot requesting them.
    Thanks for your time!
