FEATURE REQUEST: make swipe-down Notifications bar disable-able

I use the iPad as a drawing tablet every day, using Brushes, ArtRage, and other drawing apps.
It's wonderful and I am delighted to be able to do this . . . EXCEPT WHEN I DRAW A STROKE DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.
The introduction of the new pull-down Notifications drawer has led to loud cursing and a strong desire to break things, for me. When one is drawing, one is not in a state in which one wishes to glance at what the next day's schedule is at. Furthermore, the active area of the pull-down also 'catches' the drawing input, so the stroke which is misdirected into the Notification dialog is lost work, and subsequent rapid stokes, up to the threshold of my reaction time, also do not register.
I must then dismiss the godforsaken irritating dialog in order to continue drawing. It is the most incredibly irritating interaction I have ever experienced on an Apple product.
Please permit the dialog to be disabled either user-globally or on a per-app basis as a user-configurable setting.

even with all notifications turned off the drawer remains active. there's no way to disable it.
while this may be a user to user forum apple people do contribute.  I did file this as a feature request but wanted it to be visible and searchable.

  • How do i get my drop down notification bar back?

    My pull down notification bar and qslide bar have disappeared from my lg g2 and i ahve not downloaded anything new other than kitkat update.

    I think there is a way to disable the Notification Shade using Xposed Framework, but that would have required you modify your device in a way that would void your warranty, so I doubt you did that.
    Did you attempt to power-down and restart your device? If not, see if that restores the shade.
    If you do that and it doesn't restore the shade, try installing a program like Notification Weather and see if it does something to reset the state of the shade. Then if it's working, uninstall that new program.

  • Can not pull down notification bar in PORTRAIT mode

    I bought K900 from flipkart.com 2 months ago and everything was working ok. Now suddenly I have a problem with the notification bar; I can not pull down my notification bar. This problem started when I was using "GOOGLE+ app" and suddenly the notification bar automatically got pulled down; from that point I am unable to pull down my notification bar down. I have tried following ->
    1) Disable google+ app, uninstall google+ uppdates
    2) Restart phone normally and ALSO restarting the phone in safe mode.
    3) clear cache using an app "App managet" and also clear ALL cache using the recovery (by pressing vol down and power button).
    4) Factory reset
    5) tried another lauchers : LauncherPro, Atom launcher
    Has anyone faced this problem? There is an app on playstore "Drop down" which pulls down the notification bar. The touch sensors and also the display is working fine in the area of the notification bar (BUT I can not pull down by using fingers/swipe-down action). When the screen is in LANDSCAPE mode i.e. while playing a video using MXPlayer; the notification bar CAN BE PULLED DOWN, BUT CAN NOT in PORTRAIT mode.
    I have also read on the internet that some people having samsung galaxy s3/s4 have also faced the same problem.
    Can anybody suggest me to do something? Are my screen pixels/touch sensors dead on the top most row??
    My K900 is stock(non-rooted) and has android 4.2.1; I have not updated my phone to the latest firmware.

    I will leave this answer to my original question.
    I called Apple and was completely disappointed with their answer. They indicated that they would not answer such a question, since they deemed it to be "outside of the scope of Apple support" since my question was deemed "not a consumer-oriented
    question."
    So yesterday, I took my Samsung SyncMaster 204T monitor to the local Apple retailer to try it out on an actual system. I specifically tried it out on the 24" iMac with the nVidia 7300GT graphics card, since that is the system I was interested in.
    It turned out that this monitor works beautifully in portrait mode with the above system using Tiger 10.4.8.
    So, I went and bought it!!

  • Feature Request: Make a Setting Option for Export - Media - What to Render

    As I just changed after many years with Premiere Elements to Pro, I certainly find many things just anconversant.
    But there's one thing I really can't take: When I'm trying to render a project, there's a small selection list near the bottom of the "Export Media" window saying "export area". Here I can choose between "complete sequence", "work area", "sequence in/out" and "defined by user". This option jumps always back to "work area"!
    That's at least for me very unconveniant, because in 99+ % of my renderings, I need "complete sequence". Normally the software remembers the last used setting, but not in this case. I can imagine that one can fight about what's the best default setting: I Guess everyone is using Premiere differently. So in my opinion a predefined setting option would solve best for all: Just add one mor setting in the Presets section, maybe in "General" or make a new rubric "Export" or something. Just a place where everyone can predefine which setting for the export media area option he likes.
    No big deal, just one more presettings option!
    I hope I could make myself clear what I'm meaning
    Thanks in advance!

  • Feature request: make podcast "Keep" preferences specific to each podcast

    I subscribe to many different podcasts of different types for various reasons. With some podcasts I want to retain all episodes in an archive. With others I want to delete them as soon as I have listened to them. With others I might want to keep them for a week or month and then delete them even if I have not gotten around to listening to them. It would be very nice to be able to set a default preference for how long to keep podcasts in the iTunes preferences, just as can be done now, but to be able to override that default preference on a podcast by podcast basis. Please give us this ability to make podcast-specific decisions on how long to keep individual episodes. Thank you for considering this request.

  • Cannot pull down notification bar after TB software upgrade?

    I completed the software upgrade last night on my TB. For some reason the notification bar will no longer pull down.  Any thoughts on what the problem might be?

        Hello owj,
    Thank you for your inquiry today. I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your recent software update.

  • Feature Request: Make RECENTS better with two more drill down options

    Hi everyone!
    I love my iPhone but - as with everything - one can make things get even better... Not sure where to post so I try here. Would love to hear if you feel the same need:
    I realize that RECENTS within the phone application could be improved quite a bit by adding two simple buttons at the top.
    Right now there is "ALL" and "MISSED"... being able to drill down the MISSED calls is great, but many times I would like to be able to drill down:
    * outgoing calls (aka those placed by me via iPhone)
    * incoming calls (aka those that I received on my iPhone)
    Would love to hear what others think about that. If we there will be many replies chances are good that Apple will fix this with a software update. It should be very little work on Apple's side.
    Greetings!

    I agree this feature would be most useful: most other phones incorporate it, and it would probably not be too difficult to add it to the iPhone? I expect most will agree with you, but this type of feedback should be sent directly to Apple:

  • Feature request: make the "transform" dialogs non-modal

    Currently, the transformation dialogs accessible at Object>Transform are modal. I'm talking about "Move…", "Rotate…", "Reflect…", and so forth. These dialogs, when open, lock the user out of any interaction with the artboard other than the "preview" button, until the dialog is closed.
    Even more problematically, they lock the scroll and zoom factor of the current user view, so that there's no way to inspect how a precise numeric adjustment affects a part of the layout outside the current window (or within the current window but very small inside it) without committing the change, inspecting it, and then later undoing if necessary. This creates cycles of tedious user adjustments (especially on small monitors) that really should be possible in one user step, by toggling the preview button on and off, and zooming/scrolling.
    This is contrary to most modern UI design principles, which suggest avoiding modes unless they are truly and meaningfully necessary. I don't think this is one of those cases. Photoshop made dialogs for adjustment layers non-modal with CS4, and while there are issues with the newer interface (see John Nack's Configurator workaround), I think it's a win overall. Illustrator needs to catch up in this regard. I realize there is some pretty serious refactoring involved to do this, but it has to be do-able.
    In the words of Larry Tesler's immortal Subaru license plate: "NO MODES"!

    ...make the "transform" dialogs non-modal...
    What, and bring Illustrator out of the 1980s?! Are you mad, man?
    Just so you know you're not alone; I've been complaining about AI's archaic dependency upon modal dialogs for many years.
    ...I'm fully aware of the Transform panel...observing that there's another way to do it...doesn't really address any of my points here...
    But it's not "another way to do it," because the functionality is not the same. The modal dialogs include crucial functionality that cannot be done in the Transform palette. For example, moving something in terms of distance and direction (diagonally), instead of merely by lame X and Y factors. Or transforming about an off-object center of transformation, rather than merely by the 9-point proxy.
    ...the "preview" isn't updated on keyboard entry, and the "preview" checkbox need to be manually toggled on and off...
    But the preview does refresh (and does not have to be toggled) in response to keyboard entry if that keyboard entry is by the arrow keys. For example: Select something, doubleClick the Scale tool, click your cursor in the Uniform value field, and tap the up/down arrow keys (or press and hold them). The value will increment and the preview will update with each key tap. (Be sure to teach that to your students.)
    That does not, of course, negate the complaint, but it does ameleorate it somewhat. The increments are preset; there are no preference settings for them. (Don't even get me started on preferences that should be doc-specific settings, and vice-versa).
    Nor does the valid point that problematic dialogs abound beyond just those associated with the transform tools, but I do agree with it. For just one of many examples, it's nothing short of idiotic that the Scale fields of Transform Each do not have a uniform scaling lock, and that only percentage fields are provided and no explicit dimension fields. Illustrator is quite saturated with such inconsistencies and half-baked implementations.
    But...you're often arguing with the emotionally attached Illustrator devoted here. So I wouldn't recommend holding your breath. It would probably be more effective teaching Illustrator's shortcomings to your beginning students. Probably one of the easiest ways to explain the problem of modal dialogs is to point out that you can't change the current selection with the dialog open.

  • Feature Request: Single Click in URL Bar, Hightlight Current URL.

    Normally when you click on the URL bar for the first time it will highlight the complete url, or the portion between www. & .com
    You should be able to single click to highlight then a second click to deselect highlight

    Eme,
    How do you assume in the world that u know
    what i read ?
    You're missing the point (again). I didn't assume anything. It's you who have assumed what was I talking about.
    Maybe I am just new, you think that may be the case?
    Is there anything in what I've said that makes you think so?
    mind reading is not your forte
    You'd be really surprised in this regard if you knew me...
    give it up at least when it comes to me, Okay.
    OK, no problem. May I ask (again) where have you seen "option click" mentioned?
    Yikes. Condesending ;~P
    Maybe, but I don't think so. At least, not until you tell me where have you seen "option click" mentioned?
    It was in reference to Ali Brown's post, which i
    looked at without your permisssion, off course.
    Of course. Now, where exactly?
    TIA.

  • Feature Request - Make it run without crashing

    I have two windows computers running XP SP2. Bridge used to run fine on both and now will not keep running on either. It opens, sits there and will see pictures on my C drive, but the a few seconds after I select another internal drive, it crashes with the wonderful "Bridge has had to close" drop down.
    I have reset preferences until I am blue in the face but nothing ever changes. I don't know why this has gone on for at least a year and yet I see no fixes for it from adobe. I would be happy to be a guinie pig for any attempts to patch-correct this seemingly widespread problem.

    Check the RAW and normal cache directories for space allocated and space used. Make sure you have no more than 80% of the space filled up. Give it room to work freely.

  • Tethered Capture feature request - make a 2nd copy

    Make a 2nd copy feature is available during import of images, so why not whilst shooting tethered. Would love to see that feature. Please please please consider adding.

    Short answer: No. That is the way it is.
    Why? The Make Second Copy during Import is designed to be a backup of your memory card processes-not a back up of your files as you store them on disk. It is intended to be a transient copy that allows you an immediate backup until such time as a File System Level backup can be performed, allowing you to have two copies so that you can reformat your memory cards.
    I agree it would be nice if the folder storage strategy was duplicated for the backup as it is created for the import but that is not something you can set the program to do currently.  I remember it behaving differently versions ago but do not recall exactly how it used to work.

  • Feature Request - Make Outgoing Message in Garage Band

    I want to be able to pre-record an outgoing message in Garage Band and then upload it to the phone to use as my custom outgoing message.
    That would be cool and sound good.

    That's probably information you should get from the manufacturer of your telephone.

  • Feature request: make enhancer more silent

    It would be nice if the enhancer only reported (or had an option to only
    report) the classes actually enhanced.
    Currently (as of 2.2.6) it displays:
    Enhancing "class x"...
    Type "x" is already PersistenceCapable; skipping.
    Cheers,
    Sebastien

    I second that.

  • Feature Request: Make SDK-Min & SDK-Ver Available

    'Twould be awesome to be able to build common/shared/library code that can auto-detect the minimum and "maximum" SDK that a plugin is targeted for in order to adapt behavior or throw proper errors...
    Tnks,
    R

    Yeah.
    One of my favorite uses is for displaying Lr compatibility.
    I'm taking advantage of the fact that Lr does not care a whit what you set LrSdkVersion to, and using it to indicate maximum compatible version for display in info-provider. Thus, if my plugins don't say: "Compatible with Lr3", then even though they load, and may even run somewhat, you can be sure I have not tested and certified them for Lr3... (and vice versa...)
    Now that I think about it, adding "Mac support level" to the info.lua return table is not a bad idea - for display in info-provider.
    PS - I suppose we should be adding some of this knowlege to the new repository...
