Feature Request: Javascript libraries of which the versions are in better control

This essentially aimed at the developpers:
Anyone who browsed with noscript, or used ghostery, knows the web is full of javascript. These are often downloaded from separate websites.(for no apparent reason, they can easily be hosted locally) This is a bad thing:
* Accessing these gives the the http-referrer(presumably) so it indicates someone where you are browsing.(though other resources do this too)
* Javascript is nowhere as secure as html in terms of potential weaknesses.
* Javascript is -plainly- designed to have access to the web page, or the current url.
* These are often accessed via http, it could be spoofed to return a different
* The servers it came from can outright change it at any point, and the user has little control, even if the javascript source code unobfuscated, there is no time to do so as it is in the hands of the users immediately.
For this reason i suggest implementing a library(package system) for these javascripts, of which the packages are signed, and the user controls when they are updated. It should be easy to use and add these libraries for developpers, preferably, additional people can attest they read the source code and approve of it.
Well, to be honest, i cannot really suggest entirely how to do it, i just dont know enough. And it has to be entirely transparent to users, at least. Some kind system that detects that people have checked the source code, and/or a default time duration.(depending on the package)
Of course this has to be coordinated with other browsers/standards creation. This sounds hard and it seems like you're already doing a really good job at it.(And at developping FF in general)

Hi Jasper, to give a specific example, if Firefox were to find a site using a particular version of jQuery then it would instead use a pre-validated copy of that library from a trusted site or from the Firefox program folder?
I think this would be a complex project, but perhaps an extension developer would consider building it, at least to demonstrate how it could be done?
This forum is like an emergency room so your suggest may get lost here. You can submit a version to the Input site (Help > Submit Feedback connects you) or on a Mozilla mailing list. Not sure which one would be right for this idea, but you could take a look here: [https://lists.mozilla.org/].

  • I recently upgraded to iWork v9.0.3, but when I access each applications the versions are different (i.e. Pages V.4.1, Numbers V2.6, Keynote V5.1.1) with a install date of 3/18/09 -- which is not the current install date of 2 weeks ago. Why?

    I recently upgraded to iWork v9.0.3, but when I access each applications the versions are different (i.e. Pages V.4.1, Numbers V2.6, Keynote V5.1.1) with a install date of 3/18/09 -- which is not the current install date of 2 weeks ago. Shouldn't Pages, Numbers, and Keynote show version 9.?? My MAC confirned installation of v9.0.3 and even accepted the software code. With this discrepancy, how can I determine if the latest was installed and operational? I even downloading v9.0.4, 9.0.5, and 9.1. When I tried installing these downloads it popped up note stating that a later version of Keynote was already installed.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • Which XSLT versions are support by Oracle BPEL? v1.1  or v2.0?

    Which XSLT versions are support by Oracle BPEL? v1.1 or v2.0?
    As far as I heard v1.1 is the highest version but some functions of v2.0 are supported as well.
    Is this true?
    If yes: Which XSLT functions of v2.0 are supported?
    Does it matter if I change the
    version="1.1"
    attribute in the topmost
    <xsl:stylesheet......>
    tag?
    Which XSLT processor is built-in/used?
    Peter

    XSL mapper in BPEL supports 1.0 only in-built. And this is true for 11g also. However, we can declare <xsl:stylesheet version = 2.0 ... and use all xpath 2.0 functions. I have used few of them and has been successful so far. Once you declare version as 2.0 the only issue will be that XSL's visual GUI mapper will not work in JDeveloper and you will need to modify the code from the source.

  • Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?

    Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?
    That's it...
    I've an old file without it's links folder, I was wondering If there was any way to extract low quality images from it to relink them.

    @Bernardo – you could export the graphic frame that holds the low res preview to e.g. PNG.
    But I would *NOT* re-link them! Place them anew in case someone has geometrically transformed (cropped, rotated, skewed, mirrored) the original ones. Keep in mind that by exporting graphic frames to PNG, fill and stroke properties together with applied effects are exported as well.

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

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

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

  • Feature request: Add "Cancel" button to the close program / backup actions pop up window

    Please add a way to cancel out of an unintended close of LR4.  I cannot count how many times I have thought of something else I needed to do or wanted to try, only to have to totally restart the program to complete the action.  If I prematurely exit the program I would like a way to get back in without having to totally close out and restart.  LR3 suffers from the identical coding/programming oversight.  Thanks.

    Ok, so I did not see this feature request for LR4 but was able to find a few references for it under LR3 (which I apparently missed before posting this request).  Is this simple request really that difficult a programming feat?

  • Feature Request: reopen each PDF at the last open page

    I love many things about Reader for Android, but I read many books at the same time, so for me it is missing one crucial feature: please enhance Reader to reopen each PDF at the last open page.  Currently if I switch from one PDF to another, when I return to the first, it forgets what page I was on, so there's no way to use Reader for my real reading of PDF books.
    Everything else about Reader is fantastic,  so I really hope you can make this improvement.
      Thanks
      Jim

    Thanks Jim , for appreciating Adobe Reader and  for the feature request on remembering last opened page for a pdf . It is one of the top few priorities for us. We would try to include this at earliest in  our next major update.
    Thanks again.

  • Feature Request Level 3 alerts to the Lounge

    Hello all,
    Does anyone feel that the ability of level 3's to be able to send alerts to the Lounge Level members of any benefit?
    I have had a few times where sending up an SOS to the level 4 + 5's concerning a particularly troublesome topic might be of great help to users having more difficult problems.
    I feel that most level 3's tend to be people helping users here as opposed to posting topics for help. But I wonder if the topics they are helping with get glossed over by level 4-5's and sometimes need more experienced help.
    I think that many times level 3 helpers will begin to help a user and then the topic evolves and requires more advanced troubleshooting.
    I know that level 4's and 5's peruse the forums quite thoroughly but wonder if topics get "glossed" over if in progress already. I say this in regards to a topic that seems simple from the outset but evolves into something that a less experienced person helping can't deal with. It seems that the ability at that point to send an alert to the lounge would really come in handy. Whether to act upon or not would be at their discretion but at least an alert to them would be posted that there is a troublesome problem.
    I know that level 4's and 5's post in the lounge for additional help but what I'm asking here is not that ability but rather just a place where level threes could send up a flag to alert the lounge of such situations.
    I hope I'm making some sense here....and not trying to degrade the benefit that level 4's + 5's have with their "lounge" but rather just enhance the discussions.
    I'd love to hear from you if you see inherent problems with such an idea. Would it be abused somehow, etc. etc.? Or is there just some simple reason that this would not be appropriate?
    best regards,
    littleshoulders [:-)

    Hi ~Bee,
    I knew I could count on you.....)))
    Thanks for taking the time to respond with your thoughts and your offer of communicating if I were to have a problem with a topic.....it's most appreciated!
    I was just thinking a feature such as that would help level 3's to do alot of pre leg work with topics and filter the more troublesome to the more experienced users here. As I'm sure you know yourself, topics can sometimes elevate into much more difficult solving to resolve them, than at first glance.
    Was just a thought that might help refine how the discussions could work better.
    I didn't think of posting alerts to level 4-5's here in the Feedback About Discussions forum....I wasn't sure if that was appropriate to the forum but I guess it is.
    Thanks again as always for your assistance and thoughts,
    littleshoulders [:-)
    PS. Get ready for the onslaught of emails.....just kidding )))))....but sure would appreciate being able to email you and get some added help if I needed it for some difficult topic. Thanks for the offer!
    edit; An example of a topic can be found here where it would have been nice (appropriate I think) to have been able to have sent an "alert" to level 4-5's for some help.

  • JAVASCRIPT ERROR WHEN DISABLED THE WELCOME AREA

    Hi sdn,
    I have modified our portal design. I set the welcome area and the logo area to the value none. Now I am always getting a javascript error when I call the side in my browser.
    I get the message that an object is missing and the browser can not set the focus to an element ==> because I have disabled two areas of the portal header.
    I have recognized this problem in all portal releases from EP6SP2 to EP6SP9.
    What can I do to prevent these error messages?

    I think this issue is fixed by this note : 798647. Suggested to go with latest hotfix.

  • Feature request - page centered when turning the page

    I routinely enlarge pages in PDF files so that they bleed off the top and bottom of the screen. I lose the white space at the top and bottom of the page, in order to make the text in the middle clearer. This requires using the up and down arrows.
    It would be great if Acrobat could intelligently present a page, perhaps as an option, so that the printing appears on the screen instead of white space. Particularly in the non-scrolling view, where one really is turning pages. The software would judge what part of the page was interesting and center it vertically around the interesting features.
    Thank you for considering this suggestion.

  • InDesign CS6: Is it possible to create a pdf in which the version for printing is different from that on the screen?

    hello,
    Everything is in the title!
    The idea is to make a pdf that I send to clients by email, very graphic with colored backgrounds but when printed, the background becomes white to save ink. Similarly to the change of color of the text.
    For example, on the screen when I open a pdf I see white text on a blue background but the impression we see black text on white background.
    thank you

    hi Bob,
    With a little delay & my apologies, anyway, after a little test, your solution works very well. thx!!
    A more flexible solution was given to me on the French forum by Mr. JR Boulay
    "We need to generate 2 PDF, one with color and one in black and white. Open the PDF with Acrobat b & w and in the layers palette ask "Import as Layer" color PDF.
    Who will come on top. In the Layer Properties it only remains to define the PDF / color layer as "not printable."
    It will just be careful that the color PDF has no white background because in PDF it means transparency and thus we see through ...
    (Just use black backgrounds at 1% to fix this problem). "

  • Feature request: Add a whitelist to the NoExtract functionality

    In pacman.conf it would be useful to add a NoExtractWhitelist= or NoExtractException= directive.
    NoExtract = usr/share/locale/*
    NoExtractException = usr/share/locale/en_US/*
    The use case I have in mind for this is the /usr/share/locale/ directory.
    On my laptop I have no problem with this directory, but I install arch to usb keys and optical media frequently and
    it would be good to be able to blacklist the the 100MB+ and ~2500 files that I don't use w/o having to add every locale
    other than my own to the NoExtract line.

    Use the «value» property of viewFactory:tab_view() with data from «identifier» from nesting viewFactory:tab_view_item(). I just tried this and it works well. You can bind this value directly to entry in preferences table, and the tab selection will be restored at each run.
