Feature request: "In response to" blogs

Hi,
One of the things we haven't been able to achive with the blog system today, is discussion on topics. Most of the blogs are very technical and show you how to perform a certain task, nothing wrong with this, but it would be great to have some in-depth discussion by matter-experts on various topics.
I think you can facilitate this quite easily allowing a blog to be a response to another existing blog, and provide some method of showing the entire "discussion-thread" in an organized fashion (yes I stole the idea from YouTube, sue me!
The external link which exist today is not enough to facilitate this.
We could also have someone start with some controversial topics in order to spark the discussion:
"Why WD for Java is far superior to WD for ABAP"
"ESA - Been there, done that"
"ABAP coders, face the future of open languages"
"Java is the new Cobol" (Bring in DJ Adams for this one)
Cheers
Dagfinn

Hi Craig, how are things?
Basically, I want each blog to have a "Create blog response" which is visible for bloggers.
You can click this and the blog you then create is tagged/has metadata which identifies it as a response to the last blog.
For the normal user, he will see an extra section for the blogs that could be something like
"This blog has the following blog responses
List or Tree (not sure if you need tree structure for them)"
Very similar to trackbacks, but also usefull for longer threads with many persons involved.
Another feature which just popped in my head could be a "Related blogs" section on the weblog . This instead of having comments which say "look here".

Feature Request: Ability to download response PDF forms in mass

I noticed that after receiving a response in formscentral I need to go to each responce so get a saved copy of the PDF form. It would be great to the ability to "CTRL" select which files you wanted to download or the ability to download all response received as indivdual PDF forms. I guess it would even be helpful if you could download them all and receive it as once massive PDF file that could be sorted through after the fact.
I'm really liking FormsCentral so far and can't wait to see what additional features are coming.
Thanks!

FAQ: How do I submit a bug report or feature request or otherwise give feedback about Premiere Pro?

The best way to submit a bug report or feature request is to use the bug-report/feature-request form.
The Premiere Pro team doesn’t necessarily see and record every post on every forum and social network, but we do see, record, and track every entry through the the official feature-request/bug-report form.
It also helps a lot if you opt into the Product Improvement Program.
Also, be sure to use the crash reporter.
We really do read all of the bug reports and feature requests, and the software really does get a lot of benefit from detailed crash reports.
Don’t forget about contacting Adobe Technical Support or Customer Service, too. For information on how to contact Adobe Technical Support, see this page. (Note that you must register your product before you can open a technical support case for it.)
If you have tried to get help from our support staff, but the service was inadequate, I can help you to escalate your issue if you send me your case number at kopriva at adobe dot com. You must provide me a case number. I am not offering to solve your problem myself; rather, I am willing to forward your information to someone if you have already hit a dead end with our Technical Support or Customer Service.

We’ll keep you posted on our blogs, Facebook page, and Twitter feed about updates as they become available.

Hi qwerty,
Dun tink that creative customer support sucks cos I had been dealing with them in the past and I can say that their service are quite gd and fast. If you wanted a refund, I tink you need to contact the store that sells you the product. Dun tink creative will refund you though.

FEATURE REQUEST: Enhanced Texture Options in FW

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

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

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

FEATURE REQUEST: Sticky editing of feed info

I love iTunes 6 on Windows as pod-catching software. It's great. But a minor feature request.... (since I don't see anywhere else on Apple.Com for iTunes feature requests, I'm posting it here).
Most podcast authors seem to do a lousy job of creating intuitive feed metadata information (Artist, Description). And since podcasts seem to be sorted by default on my iPod by Music > Podcasts > [ARTIST FIELD], I always edit the Artist Field in iTunes before I sync with my iPod. I do this by selecting all items in a feed group, right clicking, choosing Get Info, and editing the Artist field to something short which makes sense to me.
However, this edit isn't sticky. When new items in a feed are downloaded to iTunes, they have the original Artist field. So I have to edit this a lot.
What I'd like is to be able to edit the Info of the feed once in iTunes. Then, every time a new item is downloaded to that feed in iTunes, I'd like iTunes to go ahead and edit that item's info to match my sticky feed setting. This way, I only need to edit the info once when I add a new feed, and each item subsequently downloaded will inherit those settings.
Make sense? A "power user" feauture, I'm sure. But it'd be nice....
Dell Dimension Windows XP iTunes 6, 20GB iPod
Dell Dimension Windows XP

Can't be done currently. Interesting idea, though.
However, I've found that podcast creators tend to be pretty responsive to criticisms along these lines. I've had this same problem with some podcasts, and after I mentioned it to them, they started tagging their podcasts appropriately. Some of them even started adding "album art" after I explained how it would show up on newer iPod's when playing the track, if the iPod user uses iTunes.
I'd email the podcast author and let them know what's up. This is generally a better long term solution anyway, as it helps everybody.

Use Sign.xml and Encrypt.xml for both request AND response within WSDL?

Hi,
ALSB: 2.6
I was wandering if it's possible to use abstract outof the box WS-Policy file within WSDL file to specify encryption
(Encrypt.xml) and digital signature(Sign.xml) with X509 for both request and response???
So far, it only works for either request or response BUT not both. i.e. within WSDL file
.....
<wsdl:binding name="DexService2Soap" type="tns:DexService2Soap">
    <soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" style="document" />
    <wsdl:operation name="Message">

                          <wsdl:input>
                           
                         <wsp:Policy>

So is this a feature not supported in ALSB 2.6 yet or am I missing something dead simple?
Thanks in advance

Instead of specifying policies for input and output separately you could place the policy reference only once in the operation element. Maybe will this solve your problem...

JDBC(Sender)-XI-RFC (Request) RFC (Response)-XI-JDBC(Receiver)

Hi All,
JDBC(Sender)-XI-RFC (Request)
RFC (Response)-XI-JDBC(Receiver).
Need some solution for sending email for successfully completion of scenario after updating SQL DB Table.
Let me explain the scenario:
We are pooling the SQL DB table to pull the records and map the records to RFC request parameters, after successful Posting the entries in R3 HR, RFC response contain the same with E (Error) S (Success) records status, we are updating the same in SQL DB table, I implemented the complete scenario without BPM with the help of module processor in Sending JDBC Adapter, scenario is working fine but now we have to send the successful mail to our support team with status contain Number of success, Error and total records as email.
I need the solution how to implement the same requirement in current scenario.
Is their way to do something with the RFC receiver adapter module addition to send the successful mail or generating Alert with all the description?
I am at PI 7.0 SP12 with HP unix box.
Thanks in Advance for creative idea
With Regards
Sunil

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for your help and your blog is really helpful. I implemented the UDF for generating Email Alert but this alert is generating before Updating the SQL Database, is their any way to generate alert after updating the SQL.
Actually in my scenario we are sending the data from SQL to R3 by RFC and again updating the SQL status whatever the RFC return, after successfully updating SQL we need to send success email to support people but if we are sending the email before updating the DB then their will be problem.
JDBC receiver after updating the SQL DB returns the response with No. of row updated but how to capture this response, if we can capture this response then we can send email through email adapter even their is one more problem, In my scenario I am counting the number of rows with status S and E and sending the same in alert email but if are sending email after updating the SQL DB where can hold the row count value and use it while sending the email.
Implemented the scenario without using BPM..i am using sender JDBC module processor for Syn-Asyn bridge.
Even I do not find the link to reward point. Please let me know how to do it.
With Regards
Sunil

(Harmful) edit not visible in WkiHistory in "Feature Requests"

Maybe this should be a discussion.
I've just removed a porn link from the Forums table in "Feature Requests for..."
The disturbing part is that the edit I removed first appeared in Rev.233, but was not visible in the WikiHistory. I can construct a lot of scenarios here (but I won't!) and all of them are scary. I cannot construct a scenario with a "harmless"
rating.
I'm only a newbie, it's not for me to take this further. But I am sufficiently experienced to know that a revision of best practise access control should be undertaken. Yesterday would be a good time to initiate it.
Gordon.

Hi Richard -
Thanks for answering. It's the comment to the edit that's missing.
I believe (I have not tested) that blank comments are not listed as part of the edit, so all we get is the user's edit listing, but no clue of what was done in the edit.
I draw your attention to Wikipedia, where all parts of the edit are summarized in the History List. I don't believe the Technet Wiki History needs that amount of data, but OTOH that is the sort of thing computers excel at. But I do believe Technet
Wiki should record blank comments as well as filled comments. Maybe a blank comment could be filled with the first 10 or 20 words of the edit?
Gordon.
Okay, please add the feature request to the Wiki section:

You removed a dead link and a spam link!
And the history tab showed me all that!
We're actually thinking of migrating to the Wikimedia platform. Then that would give us your feature request. But it's best to capture it on our list so we don't lose sight of it.
Thanks!

Copy and paste feature request

Please God... uh, Mr. Jobs,
When in text edit mode and while viewing web pages etc., please add a button with a clipboard icon that switches into a text select mode that allows you to drag over text to select as well as double and triple tap sentances and paragraphs. Then we'll be able to select either a copy, cut or paste button.
This phone is a great tool. However, without the ability to copy text from anywhere it is very limited as a creative writing, blogging and research tool.
Hope to see it implemented soon.
Thanks
Does, anyone have a link for feature request submissions specific to iPhone?

I'd love cut & paste too. Otherwise how do you maintain/organize/re-organize lists on it easily...errands, tasks, to-dos, shopping lists, etc.
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.
(If this has answered your question, please mark your original post as answered)

Broken link at top of PS feature request page

Should be this?

Google also has the bad link in their listings:

Five Feature Requests - Do you have more?

Forgive me if this isn't the appropriate place to post feature requests but I couldn't find anywhere else that seemed better.
I love Keynote.... I'm looking forward to the day when I can ditch PP for good. Here are some features that I think would really help Keynote become more powerful.
1. Export as faithfully as possible to PP. Motion paths, alpha channels, etc. We live in a mixed platform world and I hate seeing my presos butchered on export.
2. Include a "slide library" like we have in iPhoto and the new iMovie. Opening dozens of presentations to find a particular slide is a pain!
3. Give us a layer browser (ala PhotoShop) to make arranging object hierarchies easier
4. Let us apply Quartz image processing to objects/layers ( blur, distort, colorize, etc) and make those effects non-destructive and play in real-time if appropriate (eg, ripples, fading, etc).
5. Give us some alternative to "SmartArt". Being able to create structured diagrams easily with SmartArt is a HUGE time saver.
Thanks!

The best way to hide such a discussion such as this is to lead on from another established thread about a related matter. The worse way is to put "feature request" in the title. I listed ten or so features and got the thread pulled in 24hrs.
Against that, I feature requested (*Keynote Menu> Feedback...*) a feature similar to Magic Move (but less ambitious) last year and was pleasantly surprised to see MM in KN'09. Also noted KN'08 had very difficult Build>Move path construction tools that hid control points under other objects and now they stay active. Very subtle but effective improvements there. Not sure if it was listening, synchronicity or randomness but gives hope.
Co-Melbournian, Les Posen presented to the Keynote dev team and his blog has an account of sorts.

Working collection, not necessarilly pinned - New feature request

Do you think this is a useful feature?
Currently when you are working with objects the only way to keep "non-editing" windows is to pin them.
Can this behaviour be extended as a new node that allows you keep a "working collection" of different object types. The method of user operation that I can see is have a context menu on each object in the node, do a right click "Add to working list".
* Having the ability to add objects maybe from a different schema to the list could be nice. That way the "working collection" is not limited to a connection.
* If this list of objects can be saved for later reuse, it could make it even more functional.
Is it possible to do this as a customisation/extension?

Have you created an feature request for this on the Exchange? Or identified any existing request that is equivalent? Sounds worthwhile.No I haven't. I was hoping for some community response. It seemed like something some would have requested.
I like your idea of a restore. A ability to restore via a session manager even more powerful (As long as dead/obselete objects and broken connections are managed well).
My suggestion was more inclined towards the "project based working" mentioned by Jim.
I did a little bit of digging around and found this, [Favorites folder to store a collection of objects|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:39:3557915450647134::NO::P39_ID:301] : Accepted
Thanks for replying Sue. Any chance "[Favorites folder to store a collection of objects|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:39:3557915450647134::NO::P39_ID:301]" would make into version 2.0?

Feature request: keyword search like Google Toolbar

One of the features (well, the ONLY feature) that keeps me from using Safari as my default browser is a feature I get through Google's Toolbar.
After you type in keywords for a search in Google's toolbar. You can click on the word (in the right area) and it will automatically find the next occurrence of that word on the page. (You can alternatively clock on the "highlighter" icon and it will highlight any words in your search). You can find any individual word.
Safari's feature to do this, as far as I can tell, is far less useful. After you type in some keywords. You can click on the magnifying glass and at the bottom, it has the ability to search for the keyword OR phrase, depending on how you search.
Google's Toolbar feature is amazingly productive -- and useful. I can't figure out why none of the browsers have picked up on this feature.
(If someone knows a way to do this with Safari, I'd appreciate it).
Thank you.

Thank you very much for the responses. I spent forever trying to find the feature request area in support, but failed. Perhaps it would have bitten me.... Thanks for the pointer...
As for this capability, there's no reason why a browser couldn't support this feature -- doesn't matter that Google did it in a toolbar. And, in fact, if you click on the magnifying glass in the search box, it does allow you to search within the current page for what you searched for (though it's limited only to the "phrase"). It's at the bottom... You have to have words in the search box to see this.
I'll make the suggestion directly to Apple.
To anyone who hasn't used this capability -- it's really powerful. That said, you need the Google Toolbar which is only supported on Firefox, not Safari (on the Mac platform).

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 - Safari Dimmer

Did not see any other place to make a feature request, so here goes:
Recently I installed a DivX player on a WinXP system as was pleasantly surprised with the "Desktop Dimmer" (apparently also available for OSX). It seems that though this functionality is currently a function of the player, it may be possible for Safari to detect that a particular video player plugin is active and streaming and perform the same function for all formats.
This would tie in nicely with the annoying behaviour on my MBP to dimm the screen after a minute or so of inactivity which can't be controlled from the Power management or Screen controlls in System Manager. Argh.
If I'm trying to stream an hour long motorcycle race, I don't want to have to keep moving my mouse to brighten up the screen. And it absolutely MUST be dimmed, then at least leave the streaming part alone.

This is a perfectly good place to post this. There is also at least one other place to give Apple feedback (including feature requests) about their Mac OS X applications: the Mac OS X feedback form. (You will not receive a response by filling out that form, but the feedback is channeled to the people who can best use it.)
This would tie in nicely with the annoying behaviour on my MBP to dimm the screen after a minute or so of inactivity which can't be controlled from the Power management or Screen controlls in System Manager. Argh.
Raising the time before display sleep in the "Sleep" section of Energy Saver settings, making sure that's changed for both the Power Adapter and Battery settings, doesn't do the trick? (It might not, always - just checking. :-))
