Feature Request: Color code lightroom folders

I have several hundred folders inside of lightroom. I would like to colorcode "favorite" folders to make them easier to find when moving imported photos from "Dated" folders into subject specific folders. Seems like this should be easy,
Or is there already a way to do this?
Collections will accept selected pictures but how about selected folders?

Feature Request - CSS code generation for advanced font - type options

Thanks to everyone for the amazing work done in Photoshop and Illustrator to enhance the ability to generate and use character and paragraph styles translated to CSS. The last two releases have brought designers something they could only dream of and talk about for the last decade, and now these tools are being delivered!
This request is to consider being able to use advanced character styles in Illustrator, such as X/Y percentage height/width of fonts, rotation or baseline shift to generate CSS for these options. As of this post, I haven't been able to find that CSS3 even supports these options, except possibly the 'font-stretch' rule, which does not appear to be supported yet in most browsers - see CSS Fonts Module Level 3 - W3C Candidate Recommendation, October 2013.
Sometimes, designers get very picky about wanting type to look just so, including making fonts look taller or wider in a design, although perhaps much to the horror of the original type designer
thanks very much,
Mark

I'll also add this is a feature that should be carried over into Adobe Photoshop too.
Within Adobe Photoshop if you want to size type in terms of pixels the type is, again, sized according to the Em square. Unless you're setting type at pretty large pixel sizes the rendered type really ends up looking pretty bad. That's because the edge of the baseline and the edge of the cap height line are never aligned to the pixel grid. You end up with type that's fuzzy looking on all sides. If designers were able to tell Photoshop "make this lettering 20 pixels tall according to the capital letters" the lettering would looking a whole lot better. Perfectly crisp edges on the base lines and cap height lines.

Feature request : color fill vector mask thumbnails in layers panel

I find that the color fill vector mask previews within the layers panel are not as helpful as they were in CS5. Having the vector path along side the color swatch worked better.

You should know that others have requested this, starting with the public beta. I happen to agree with you on this, showing the color and shape separately was more useful. But it must have been difficult for new users to understand or something.
There's a known bug that causes the shape icon to be hidden sometimes behind the little overlay. Adobe is looking into fixing that, and with some luck in an update we'll see the shapes become more visible, but of course this doesn't help with the shape of things like thin lines that you can't see at that scale, and complex coloring (e.g., gradient fills) doesn't show at all.
It would be great if they'd offer an option to display an additional color icon - if not in the Layers panel then in the Properties panel!
Oh, and I suppose it should be pointed out that fill layers with PIxel masks (vs. shapes, which are fill layers with vector masks) still look the old way. I don't know whose idea this was, but it seems a little half-baked.
Unfortunately, Adobe does not have a habit of changing functionality in any significant way after release. I think we're stuck with what we have, save for maybe that bug fix I mentioned.

Time Machine Feature Request: Rules to exclude Folders/Files

Hi.
I think its important to have rules for excluding folders/files from tm-backup in the next version of OS X (Snow Leopard).
Example: "Do not backup Folders/files which name begins with a specified character + location is "desktop".
So i have a better control of which files are in the backup. For example temporary big files on my desktop.
Best regards, Andre

Well, it's really no secret, macmatic , and the page I linked above derives from this one that contains many more feedback page links:

Source code / feature request

Hi
This tool is fantastic and saves me a huge amount of time, helping us find some interesting bugs (like why "delete myarr.pop()" was having such an odd side-effect when the array contained strings..).
I'm trying to get hold of the source code for this but my SVN clients can't connect, I've tried lots of different network configurations (from work, home and mobile connections) and both the SVN and HTTP connections, so I think the issue is on the Adobe/SoureForge end. Can anyone check/fix this?
The reason for wanting the source is to add a minor change to the Tag Viewer / Tag Information output. Currently I'm trying to work out what function is defined at offset 0x348B2 of my SWF file. I can see it in the hex editor but it's tricky to work out what this function name is: the class is defined in DoInitActions offset 200492 and length 24355 i.e. a big class.
What I'm hoping for is to add the offsets into each line in the DoInitActions 'Tag Information' panel, so e.g. instead of:
        if L63
        push $1
        push 'isMouseDown'
        getMember
        pushDuplicate
I'd see:
1522:        if L63
1527:        push $1
1527:        push 'isMouseDown'
1534:        getMember
1535:        pushDuplicate
etc where the number at the start is the offset of this instruction within the DoInitActions tag.
If anyone with the source can do this and update the binaries then great but I suspect it's something I would have to do myself... but currently I can't get at the source without having to individually browse to and download every file :-(
thanks
   Andrew

A new version of SWF Investigator was released on Friday (version 0.6.2) and I will be updating the open-source repository in the next day or two. When the update is complete, I will respond to this thread so that you know to pull down the latest version of the source code.
For SVN access, I have used TortoiseSVN on Windows which is supported by SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/TortoiseSVN%20instructions
The logic for your feature request already exists in SWF Investigator but it is currently commented out. For the next release, I can work on enabling it. If you want to play with the functionality in the meantime, then the code is in SWFInvestigator/src/decompiler/tools/Disassembler.as.Within that file there is a function called, "start." Within that function, there is an if-block which checks for "showOffset". You will need to uncomment the out.print() statement within the showOffset if-block. You will also want to set showOffset to true just before the if statement. Recompile the application and it will begin to show the information you want.

Is there any way to color code my eMail folders?

Good Evening All...
I was wondering if I had missed something or if there was some freeware, shareware or inexpensive third party software, in that order that allows on the color code my eMail folders. I have to save a dread deal of my eMail and a method color coding would add in finding something down the road.
Just a through or two
As always, thanks in advance to those who replay and to all have a great 4th, stay safe and stay away from using "Bush Gas" as much as possible <GRIN>

Hi!
Both questions have asked many times. Have a look at older threads.

Feature Request: AME Watch Folders file type filter

Hi,
maybe I'm posting it to the wrong forum. If so, maybe some moderator can move this thread to the correct forum.
I'm exporting Quicktime Reference files from Avid, which creates two files: .mov and. wav. Since I'm exporting it to Watch Folder AME automatically converts the wav also. But would be useful to "tell" AME only convert files with mov extension. It's of course possible later to erase encoded sound files but would be convinient to point out only the file types which require converting.
thank you,
Revenger

Feature Request: Code Defining

For people who don't know code very well yet, but are trying to learn, it would be very helpful to have a tab on the side that has a complete list of all commands, and descriptions of how they work and what they do, including descriptions of what information the user needs to input within the parenthesis to make it work properly. You should be able to use it in whichever code base you are using at the time. Even for people who are well versed in code, this could still be helpful, unless they already know every single command and what they do by heart. I would like you to consider adding this feature to Edge Code CC.

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)

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)

How can I change the color of individual folders in Apple Mail?

Hi,
I would like to do to my mail folders what I do for my regular document folders -- highlight them in a color to set them off from one another. It's a great and helpful feature to be able to do this with regular folders on my hard drive (in my documents section). How can I do this with mailbox folders in Mail?
Every time I do a search on the web from people I usually end up getting seduced by people with GTD tricks and codes for making the mailboxes work better. And in the end, the tricks don't seem to work out for me, which makes me want to go back and just make certain mailboxes stand out from others. Is there such a way?
Thanks in advance,
Sheila

Most of us just use names for the folders which seems to work fine unless you're not alphabetically inclined.
It really doesn't make much difference who else may want a feature like that, it still isn't going to magically appear. If you wish to submit it as a feature request you can do so here: Feedback.
There aqre third-party programs that may provide a similar function although not colors: DockStar and Mail Badger.

Import Feature Request...

Having used Lightroom for sometime I have a feature request dealing with the
importing of images in to Lightroom.
I would like to see the ability to have Lightroom look at each image it
imports and based on where the image is dark, light or in the middle it
would apply a different preset to them. For example if Lightroom found that
60% of the pixels in the image was dark colors it would apply a preset that
I create for dark images that would lighten the image. If it found that 40%
of an image was light colors it would apply a preset I create that would
darken the image. If it found that 50% of the image was dark colors and 50%
were light colors it would apply a preset that I create that might up the
saturation and other things but not adjust the exposure any.
I would like to see the percentages that Lightroom uses to make these
decisions adjustable by the user. For example for an image to be considered
dark it would have to have 80% of the pixels dark, etc. I would also like to
see this feature be able to be turned on or off by the user (for those that
don't want to use it) as I realize this could slow the import process down.
And, while it would make the importing slower I think it would mean less
work for the user later.
Also, maybe instead of looking at all of the pixels in the image one by one
to make a decisions on how light or dark the image is it could simply create
a quick histogram and use that. It seems like histogram generation in
Lightroom is pretty fast and this may keep the import time down to something
that isn't so bad.
As it is right now, I see little point in having a preset applied to the
images I import as very seldom do all of the images I import in to Lightroom
would work with the same preset. I think a setup like this would cut down on
adjustments later.
Robert

The problem with the auto preset is that the current auto functions in
Lightroom just kind of suck. On all of the images I have used it on it blows
everything out and this is even on images that already have plenty blown
out. I have yet to see it darken an image.
I also want to point out I am not asking for an auto feature I am asking
that options be added that lets the user apply a preset (any preset they
want) to images that are too dark, too light and 50-50. This is a far cry
from the auto functions that are in LR now.
If you apply a preset to images that are dark and that preset ups the
Exposure to +1, etc. the chances are good that it will get your image much
close to what you want. Just like applying a preset that adjusts the
exposure to -1 on images that are very light. And, of course the user can
control the threshold that LR uses to decide if an image is light, dark or
50-50. You can also turn this off if you don't want to use it. There really
is nothing auto about my suggestion since the entire process is controlled
by the user. It just saves you time of waiting for an import to complete and
then going through your images manaully and apply a lightening and darkening
preset to the appropriate images.
Robert

Multiple Imperative Feature Requests

I am a MN Photographer and have been using PS Lightroom through 2 betas and 2 release versions. I have been amazed at the improvements Adobe has added, but from my point of view, they need to add a few more features to make LR more robust and efficient!
I love the way LR makes terrific web galleries!
I am running LR from a Seagate Barracuda 300 External Hard Drive with Firewire connection. I am using a Mac Powerbook (1GHz Processor) with 60GB HD and 55% free, w/ 2GB DRAM, and an Apple Cinema Display. I can't complain about slow downs, but keep my permissions tuned once a week, both on the Mac PB and all EHDs.
LIGHTROOM FEATURE REQUESTS
1. From the Web module, there is only one option for adding Copyright Info to images in the Web Galleries, either ON or OFF. It would be a great addition to have this option variable by type size, type placement on images, and opacity. I last generated a web gallery and some of the images said, "2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," but many of the images said, "Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," without a year. A few images said, "Copyright 2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," like it is supposed to! The LR application has been inconsistent so far in this area. By adding a line of copy that can be saved, and by varying the opacity and placement on images would be a huge step forward!
2. It is IMPERATIVE that you embed metadata into the Web gallery images. This is primarily for adding keywords and copyright information, but LR is inconsistent so far. Sometimes metadata is preserved, but it doesn't always get embedded when exporting images.
3. When I generated a Flash Web Gallery, some of the color was good, some of it was terrible. I have suggested before that you write into the action that takes the original image, reduces it in size, then convert to profile from Prophoto to sRGB. I suspect that you have a script in there "Save for Web". This script is denigrating the color when Convert to Profile would preserve the color. Admittedly Safari is the primary web browser I use, and it's color-centric, whereas most of the others IE, Netscape, and Mozilla, aren't.
4. When I use HTML for the web galleries, the color is spot on, but a young friend told me it would be better to hit one button to go through the images as in a rapidly advancing slide show, rather than hitting each image, and then wait for it to enlarge. This could be another marked improvement, if you made the output a slideshow from the Web Module.
5. I tried generating a slideshow from the Lightroom menu, and had about 200 images in a collection. The application went through the motions, but I tried opening the slideshow but it didn't work. I tried it in PDF format and it output a 135MB file that ADobe Acrobat couldn't open. It is still not working. I have also used a third party application Photo to Movie (www.LQGraphics.com). This is a $50 application that you can add music to and vary the zooms and dissolves and this works incredibly well!!!
6. One of my biggest problems so far is the sort mechanism. I have about 9500 images in my library, and about 5% of those were made from about 2004 and on. My images are sorted by "capture time," but the images shot back in CY 2004--2005 are mixed in somewhere way down in the pile. There are some bugs in the program for reading the capture time, and so far this is not working accurately!
7. From the Lightroom Library module, several times I have exported images for 3rd party needs and the application puts out varying results. In March I output some images for Communication Arts magazine. They specified file size and format, and it took me several times to export the images to their specifications. I recently exported some images for submission to a UK based stock photography agent. The images came from 5 different cameras~~Hasselblad w/ Imacon Digital Back, Kodak DCS-14, Canon 1ds MkII, and Canon D-20. There were 10 images that needed to be output as JPEGs (

1. LR uses what was written in the copyright field so it's your data entry that is inconsistent.
2. Are you 100% certain this is not working reliably under 1.1? It definitely wasn't working at all under 1.0 and Adobe responded to complaints. Since 1.1, I've taken large numbers of Web-generated pictures into iView and not found any cases where the metadata was missing. "Sometimes" is too vague. How exactly can you prove it? What programs prove it?
3. Not sure, but isn't this a problem because of Flash? Also the browser you use is not important - it's the browser that your visitor uses that you need to focus on.
4. Realistically, Flash is better for this. You can always get someone to write/modify HTML templates to do such a slideshow, but the built-in templates are already very complex and this suggestion would add another layer of browser incompatibility.
7. This isn't a feature request. Raise this in the main forum - and be specific (your post was also too long and got truncated). How can anyone help you if you say "varying results"? It's unlikely that any variation is random.

Feature request: Creative Cloud collaboration

I've been a CC member and supporter from the start and the one thing I was hoping for was more collaboration features. I'll give an example:
I have a client shoot and when I'm done I use Lightroom to import my images. Currently there is no way (that I know of) for my client to rate, color code, or add notes to the images in real-time.
With my CC membership I should be able to upload preview versions of the images for clients and have the items I describe above sync in real-time or with a button press. We all have 5GB of CC online so there is room with options to buy more. I would image a website version first with app integration later.
If anyone knows of a painless way of doing what I described please let me know below.

Feature Request: Lights Out Mode / tagging display.

Problem: "Lights out" mode hides tags - need to enable option to allow tags to be seen during lights out mode.
I love editing down photos to selects in lightroom, I love using the (L) LightsOut Mode to set the screen(s) to black.
however, when I do so, it hides tagging data as well. I would like an option (keyboard shortcut) to toggle the display of stars/flags/colors on and off.
Possible solutions:
Flags and stars are simple graphics that could appear over the image or beside/under it in tiny non distracting ways. colours could be the same or perhaps have the outer border turn to the selected colour.
ADDITIONALLY: I would love to see an option to "LIGHTS OUT" the second monitor indipendantly of the main. (this could be done in the second monitor drop down menu)

For example, if someone wants to use more powerful or better suited external headphone amp, he has to use already amped headphone out if he want best virtual surround/HRTF in games. The headphone out is slightly worse in quality too so it makes no sense to use it in above case.
Some headphones sound just too **** loud when plugged in the headphone amp so line out is only option. However, while that works just fine for normal stereo music, it is not optimal solution for games because the HRTF is way less accurate.
So, how about adding "Headphone mode" tick box for line out (or "Use line out plug instead" tick box in headphone mode)? It would solve various issues and fix one of the most annoying problem with Z/Zx/ZxR cards right now. It should be rather simple (i.e. same settings as headphone out but different output plug) thing yet would make massive difference in usability.
Hi Anarion,
I have relayed your product feature request to the designated department.
Will keep you informed for any updates on this thread, fingers crossed!

Flawed colors with Lightroom and Fuji XE-1

The Camera Raw support for Fuji XE-1 is heavily flawed. Using Lightroom as a raw converter for these pictures, severe color mismatches can be found in the images. The problem is well known and was frequently reported on in internet blogs (sometimes refered to as "chroma smearing"), and it still persists even with Lightroom 4.3. Fuji tells me that all necessary data was given to Adobe long ago. So here comes my question: Why is the support for Fuji's XE-1 so flawed and when will Adobe guarantee full compatibility?

There is a thread in the Official Adobe forum for the reporting of bugs and feature request about the sub-standard processing of raw files from the Fuji X Pro1 and X E1. They have acknowledged that they are aware of the problem and are working on resolving the issue.
It appears that the Fuji sensor is unique and more of a chalange in creating an acceptable quality profile. I am sure that Abobe is making every effort to resolve the problem, however they will not release an update untill it meets their quality standard. Process engines are different for every third party raw processing software providers who are not able to use the camera manufacturer's proprietory processes and profiles.
Each provider have their own chefs and recipe's are unique.
