Feature request: keymapping support for basic GVIM style editing

Maybe this isn't the right forum, but it seems to be the only mechanism for providing
feedback. I'm getting used to the workshop environment and like a lot of the
features it provides. Tab completion of methods, parameter info, import automation
are all very nice modern features. I come from a Unix background and cut my teeth
coding on VI and GVIM off the command prompt. A feature that would really sell
me on an IDE and many that I know, would be some support for VI keymappings.
Once you are used to an editor that doesn't make you run to the mouse or the arrow
keys every time you need to move the cursor, anything less feels slow and taxing.
If basic support for "VI like" operation could be added, I think you'd find more
people like myself willing to spend time in the IDE for its other features. GVIM
offers a rich set of features, of which about 10 would suffice for most of what
I do.
1. insert/navigate modes so you can use ijkl instead of arrow keys.
2. support for '/' as a search prompt as well as 'n' and 'N' to jump between
findings.
3. support for regular expressions on the search line
4. support for regular expressions via a VI style substitute command {range}:s/search/replace/
5. :w for write or "save"
6. :e to open a file
7. 'A' to jump to the end of a line and enter insert mode.
8. 'D' to delete beyond the cursor to the end of the line.
9. :line-number to jump to a line number.
10. 'x' to delete a character and 2x for two etc...
Okay, my list goes beyond ten if I continue, but if I could perform basic editing
without having to go to the arrows or the mouse or a separate window of gvim,
I'd be a happy customer.
Thanks,
Morgan

Morgan,
The engg team has confirmed that its a goal to support this in the next
version.
Thanks for the suggestion. Keep them coming!

Worth noting, I just found viPlugin for Eclipse on Sourceforge.net.
From
the looks
of the documentation, it will act as a layer on top of any JDT editor oran editor
that extends ITextEditor, which might be an Eclipse class. Hope thathelps your
development team.

Feature request: Replaygain support for FLAC files

Hi guys,
When converting some of my mp3's to FLAC, I noticed that the REPLAY_GAIN_TRACK tags are not used by the Walkman app on my Z3C. It works perfectly for mp3 files though. This is a real obstacle for me as I do not like having to change the volume all the time when playing different kinds of music.
So my request would be to extend the replaygain support to FLAC files. I think anyone who uses FLAC files would consider that a very welcome addition, and it should be really easy to do!

No, the album art actually works for both mp3 and FLAC. What I'm referring to is the REPLAY_GAIN_TRACK tag that you can attach to your files (for mp3 you could use e.g. the program called mp3gain). This allows you to normalize the volume of each track to for instance 92dB. When you do this, you will find that each track plays at a pleasant loudness without having to change the volume all the time. Or to put it differently, if this tag is not supported (like for FLAC at the moment), then I'm listening to one track and when the next one starts it may be way louder or quieter, meaning I have to reach for my phone and change the volume. It really is a very nice feature to have, and since Sony has it working for mp3 it seems very easy to extend this support to FLAC as well.
Are you having issues with album art though? Perhaps I could help you then.

[Feature Request] Better support for new buttons in JUNavigationBar

In my project I use a home made sub-class of JUNavigationBar, which contains some new functionality apart from a new button as well. This button allows me to refresh the currently selected row.
However, since I added this button though a simple this.add(), some of the functionality in JUNavigationBar may get confused.
For example, when I have removed some of the standard buttons but left my own button in place (setHasXXX()), the component index (calculated in JToolBar) and the array index for the buttons in JUNavigationBar may not match. This occasionally causes an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
In short, what I'm asking for, is a better way to manage buttons on JUNavigationBar. Even making the array of buttons and related methods and such protected in stead of private (so that my sub-class could handle it) would be a good start.

Hi Arno,
I had a similar issue with trying to create a Nav bar with dynamic content. My solution was to leave all the standard buttons in place and to use setVisible(x) to make them appear or not as required.
BTW have you noticed that rollover behaviour isn't consistant ie works for FIRST/LAST etc but not for FIND/QUERY.

Andy

Feature Request: iTunes support CD drive letters A&B

Not sure how to submit this feature request to Apple for iTunes for Windows enhancement so I figured I would start at the forum.
I know in the "dark ages" drive letters A&B where pretty much reserved for floppy drives. Not sure how many computers are actually still in use running Windows XP and up that still have one of those drives.
Therefore, for some time now these two drive letters have gone unused. C: in general was the first HD letter, and CD-Roms (or now DVD/Blu-Ray) drives started somewhere with D: and above depending on your computer configuration.
I changed my setup a while ago and named my two DVD drives A & B since Windows supports it just fine, as do a lot of other programs, with the exception of iTunes :-(. For some reason, iTunes will not support reading CDs from drives A or B, even if Windows autorun feature is enabled asking if it should import the CD into iTunes. Apple, what's up with that? Why actual restrict reading music from CD drives assigned letters A & B? Is this an old piece of code still lingering around in iTunes?
So, simple feature request for an upcoming iTunes release, please enable reading/important CD music from drives labeled A&B so that we can start using these letters again as well.
Anybody else want to support this simple request that should be fairly easy for Apple to implement?

We're a user-to-user community, so there's no guarantee that an Apple person will see your request. But you can make enhancement requests directly to the Apple folks if you like. Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

Feature Request(?): Readline for zonecfg

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to make a feature request, but I thought I might throw it out there since thats kind of what Express is all about. Is there any merit in adding readline support to zonecfg for command history recall and editing? I admit to never having written an app that used readline so I don't know how much work it is, but imho interfaces using readline always feel much more polished.
Just a thought. :)
Admittedly with the ability to use "info" at all stages of configuration it's not really neccisary, but again just adds some polish.

That means that you may not use it without GPLing all software that links with it.
I believe that one of my coworkers is investingating whether we can solve this using another
library which provides readline-like functionality. In the mean time, I have opened bugid
"5005631 Readline for zonecfg" on your behalf. Thanks for the RFE!

Feature Request - Please allow for a "classic" view option.

Please allow for a "classic" view option like you have in Mail. Miss the sidebar that had a list of all the calendars using. The pop up list is not nearly as functional. iCal in Lion may be great for touch screen users but is a step back on the intuitive scale for Mac users.
Also, the delete / revert button are too close to the done button. Too easy to hit on accident.

Feature Request: Raw-Lite for the F5/F55

Hi Sony Staff, Here's a feature request that I've been pondering for a long time now. Raw Lite on the F5(5). Is it a possibility? I'm a huge fan of the conventional 3:1 compressed 4K 16-bit Linear Raw from the AXS-R5. It provides a supremely high quality digital negative, with as much detail and tonality as you could ever really need. However the file sizes are very large. 1TB yeilds roughly an hour of recording time. And the storage costs associated with that are enough to scare away MANY producers from shooting Sony Raw (even with all of the benefits that doing so offers). You guys have addressed this issue nicely with the F65 by offering Raw Lite with it's 6:1 compression (which coincidentally, is a compression rate that many, many producers are content to shoot with on the most prolific raw cameras out their - the Red Epic/Dragon/Scarlet cameras). Being able to offer producers the option to shoot Sony Raw Lite, with it's massively more managable file sizes would greatly increase the uptake of Sony Raw for production - and that benefits everyone. It benefits the camera department with a superior digital negative, it benefits post-production with greater latitude for grading and VFX, it benefits producers with a superior end product, and it benefits audiences with better looking images. Given that the F65 was able to be upgraded to offer this additional raw recording option, I assume (and hope) that it's not an impossiblity for the F5(5). So I'd urge you to strongly consider this feature request, and the added appeal it would bring to the cameras as a capture choice. Cheers, Mark

I disagree that there is little difference between 12bit and 16 bit linear raw. The difference is huge. Shadows and dark areas from the FS7/FS700 are pretty grim, lot's of noise caused by the data rounding. Besides, in terms of bit rate it's not a question of simply reducing the bit depth, you need to increase the compression. For linear raw you need 16 bits unless you do an extreme amount of data rounding. For Linear raw, if the first stop is represented by just 2 bits of data (which results in very blocky noise as noise will be one of 4 luma levels and cannot be smoothly reproduced): stop 1: 2 bitsstop 2: 4stop 3: 8stop 4: 16stop 5: 32stop 6: 64stop 7 128 (8 bit linear limit, 128 + 128 = 256 bits)stop 8: 256stop 9: 512 (10 bit linear limit)stop 10: 1024stop 11: 2048 (12 bit linear limit)stop 12: 4096stop 13: 8192 stop 14: 16384 bitsstop 15: 32768 bits (16 bit linear limit) If you move this scale up so that the first stop is represented by using 4 bits of data you will still have pretty coarse shadows and noise (one whole f stop will only have 16 posible luma values). So rather than just use binary math most linear raw systems use floating point math to make more bits available for the shadows. But with 12bit there just isn't anywhere near the same amount of "spare" bits that you get with 16 bit, so the shadows and low key areas really suffer. Just go and look at the FS7/FS700 boards and all the compliants about unusable, grainy and blocky shadow areas in the raw. Sure raw lite would be a welcome option, but it wouldn't be one for me. The whole point of raw for me is a robust, bomb proof format that you can expose and grade as you wish without worrying about artefacts etc.

Feature request - 'shadow' settings for changing locked VM settings

I have a possible idea for you that I know I would find helpful. I understand that certain VM settings can't be changed while the VM is running. I would love to be able to make the change so that next time the VM restarts, it can first have those settings
changed for me before starting up again. That way, I could make the change (although it would tell me it couldn't be changed right now), and schedule the computer to restart sometime overnight, so that I don't have to either a) get up at 3am to do it manually
or b)work out what powershell command to run which would shut the machine down, make the changes, then start it up again - and hope that I'd done it correctly :-)
I hope this is a useful feature request. Generally very happy with all the improvements you keep making, thanks.
(I didn't find anywhere else I could submit a feature request, so I hope this gets to someone that can use it.)

I like that as a feature for those who manage via GUI. It would be possible to create script to accomplish the same thing and then schedule the script for execution later. But for GUI users, it makes sense to me.
I think the forums would be a good place for putting feature suggestions. It could easily be a Sticky post that would always appear at the top of the forum. Anyone with an idea for a new feature could add a post to the Stickey post, and
Microsoft PM's could just read that Sticky post from time to time. And, the built in Vote capability would allow other forum readers/contributors the ability to vote on it if they like it. It would be a useful Sticky post on any product forum.

Feature Request - My idea for a Today Screen...your thoughts??

Submitted this to Palm as a feature request. Curious what others think about the idea. I know there are apps such as Active Home Screen (AHS) being tested and developed, but my approach would be contained within WebOS, thus not dependent upon running another App.
Let me know your thoughts...
I think it would be great to have a page very similar to a launcher page that shows a summary of certain data for the day...such as Weather, Tasks, a Calendar agenda for the day, etc.
My ideal feature would be to make this function the same way a launcher page does...swipe up to display and again to dismiss.
I would prefer to split the gesture area in half, so that one half displays the current launcher pages, and the other half displays the today screen. For example swiping up on the left side of the gesture area launches the Today screen, and swiping up on the right side displays the standard launcher pages.
It would be an active page that updates based on current weather, next appointment, etc. Also, being able to tap one of the displayed summaries would launch that app.
One of the great features of WebOS is multi-tasking, however in some ways you are forced to over multi-task. Sometimes all you need to see is an overview of the day or whats coming up next without having to run 3 or 4 apps to get an idea of what the day looks like. Thus allowing you to save more of that precious multi-tasking benefit for apps that are constantly in use.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Great ideas!
I encourage you to share these ideas and software requests, along with any hardware changes you would like to suggest with our developers at www.palm.com/feedback so we can make the changes that our customers want to see.

Feature Request: Export catalog for 2nd editor/machine

Since there isn't a shared network environment for LR, to involve multiple editors or multiple locations for the same editor on large projects, I often need to export a subset of a catalog so someone else can work on it, or I can work on it off my laptop somewhere other than the studio, using only the proxy 1:1 previews to make my decisions from and then re-assimilate those edit changes to the master catalog of that job, usually back on my primary workstation. This process also allows me to start processing out parts of the job while other parts are being edited on other machines, or letting my primary workstation process while I use a 2nd workstation to continue editing at speed on.
I can make this happen, but it's all on me to remember which portions of the catalog have been exported, where their destination was/is, remember not to make any changes to that portion of the library while the subsection has been exported, and an over-lengthy and complicated merging of exported and internal catalogs.
It would be incredibly useful if LR could show the status (checked out for primary edit, checked out for client approval, etc.) of any exported catalog by mousing over that visibly different section and build in a preference for those varied conditions to potentially limit any changes to that subset of images while the export is still 'checked-out.' A true merge would be nice to allow possible overlaps of work on the same images, but a managed lock-out would be sufficient to start with.
As it is, the re-assimilation process for me involves removing images from the master catalog leaving the raw files in place, and re-importing the exported catalog which also necessitates the needless redundancy of bringing the 1:1 previews back in as well. At the scale I'm doing this it's overly time consuming, compared to the speed of just bringing in the library itself. The process also puts me in the place of deleting images from a catalog while they're essentially still in use, which is scary from a file management standpoint, usually with me having 4 and 5 copies of that library lingering around until all the manual merging actions are finished.

That's a feature I've asked for myself Brad, in the absense of true network use. As it's not likely to make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.

Feature Request: HDR support

HDR is becoming more and more important.   LR really needs to support 32-bit PSD and TIFFs.   It would also be nice if it support OpenEXR and HDR file formats.

I think that supporting HDR files is really independent of how well PhotoShop handles them.   Though, in my experience OpenEXR support is fine in PS.   But having LR completely ignore 32-bit files whether they are OpenEXR, TIFF, PSD, or Radiance files is really a problem.   On projects that use them, having them missing from the LR browser complicates management of the project.   Even if there is no support for HDR in the develop module, just being able to import and see them from the browser and have them be meat for plugins or external editting would be a big win.
As to the stacking feature suggestion:
   Maybe this should be a separate thread as the handling of stacks is really independent of support for HDR.

Feature Request: Collection Support

I already submitted this as part of a long laundry list of feature requests. Its becoming pressing enough that I thought it warranted its own post.
The purpose of this feature is to allow collections to be built using any programmatic algorithm combining information available ala SDK or XMP. Example function calls:
- LrCollections.createNewCollection( collectionName, clearIfAlreadyExisting )
- LrCollections.addToCollection( photo )
That would do it.

Dynu.com uses a HTTP-update mechanism. So you can change the updater-settings in your config to match the syntax from dynu. The URL is shown in their SDK: http://downloads.dynu.com/files/basic_sdk.txt

Feature Request: Disable Checkbox for Palette Fade in CS3

Dear Adobe Team,
please be so kind and give us a switch to disable the - Palette Fade Feature - of the CS3 Applications.
It just distracts (some of us) from work. - Fast Copy/Paste actions are a bit harder this way, even though it's fast on new machines. (Which is obvious because
Even though some of us bought new fast computers to have programmes INSTANTLY available.
I'm looking so much forward to your response

Dear Forum - please make this a petition to have this checkbox available, and DO NOT start another, RAM/G4/G5 discussion about the speed of the palette fading.
Just, sign with your Name, and/or, Account ID here and help us all get rid of the GUI-Desaster.
Thanx!

This is not the feature request forum nor the feature request form. If you really want to make this a feature request do a search for feature request and submit an actual feature request/bug report form to Adobe. All you are doing here is feature requesting to other users that can do nothing about the issue.

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.

You would want to go here for feature requests: Photoshop Family Customer Community
