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.

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 - 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.

This is a good feature request and should be submitted here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
The team reviews all the requests that come in through that form. It is a guaranteed way to get your request seen while we do not always see everything that gets posted to the forums.

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: 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(?): 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.
benr.

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: 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!

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: support previews for png files

hello,
i like to see previews supported for png files. This is a common file type and should be supported Especially since it is one of the options supported for export to creative cloud from photoshop touch. It would make a lot more sense.

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.

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.

Feature Request: Remove "No calendar entries today...

Hi,
I have an e66 and I typically have only 1 or 2 calendar entries each week... so most days I have "No calendar entries today" on the home screen. It annoys me that my calendar is telling me to remember that there's nothing to remember today... it's like the alarm going off every morning telling me I don't need to get up early. It could tell me the same thing with less hassle by saying nothing at all. I also find that by having something there all the time, it means that when I _do_ have something to remember, it doesn't stand out like it should - ",,,Something,,," stands out more than "Nothing,Nothing,Nothing,Something,Nothing,Nothing,Nothing"
I worked around it on my old phone (6280) by adding a calendar entry for the next 20 years with just a space in it (so all you get on the home screen is a calendar icon) but this new phone is too smart and I get "Unnamed" if I try to use a space (or newline, or any pure whitespace combination I've tried).I've ended up using "To do:" which is, if nothing else, short.
So I hereby request, either by default or as an option, for the calendar to only display something on the homescreen if there actually _is_ a calendar entry.. if there's no calendar entry to display, then _don't display anything_.

To all friends who see " no calendar entries today' in the home screen of Nokia E63:
I have got the problem before as I have made few entries on the {to do} list but when the date comes, there is no calendar entries today! Just like alarm clock set but no alarm. I have made net checking/searches, quite a few people put this up in the net but seems no definite solution. I have 'asked nokia' and the suggestion was " to reinsert the battery and sims card while no switch off the mobile, reboot the mobile in 1-2 minutes, if still not working, then reset the factory setting."
Done this, no luck. There is no solution in the menu nor else where!
Some how I remember i have 'seen' entry in the calender entries today by trial and error. Luck came it appeared. It looks like the entries only appear in "meeting' entry not 'to do list' entry.
OK friend, try to make new entry for today as meeting, and another entry on to do list on the same date and see see..
cheers

Feature request - Vector export for all CC customers (free or paid)

Hi.
This is a fantastic tool, that can replace or add really much to the field already covered by Adobe Ideas. It just need to do all the job as Ideas do: export a professional and useable vector file.
I understand the need of prospecting more customers to the CC service, but it can be done in several other ways. As a professional illustrator, and a huge user of the iPad as a creative tool, not always I need to rely on Adobe Illustrator to finish any job (when I need of it, is just for type work, and I am already using a CS6 version for it, with no intentions - read $$$ - to change for CC by now). My suggestions are:
a. the addition of this simple export feature (maybe even by e-mail as Ideas do), for free - it would be really kind of Adobe's part ;
b. not being possible this feature addition for free, make it a paid app, but complete in terms of export options;
c. or include the vector export feature as an in-app purchase (in both cases I would be paying for it without thinking twice, and I'm sure many other people too).
That's it. I hope this little - but EXTREMELLY IMPORTANT - request could be implemented as soon as possible in a future update.

Adobe is the worst tech company on the planet as far as treating their customers well. I've unfortunately been using their products since Illustrator88 as they've been industry standard. I've paid exorbitant amounts to keep the Adobe upgrade extortion ring going. And now, they'd suggest we "upgrade" to IllustratorDraw from AdobeIdeas, crippling the best feature the app has–the ability to export vector art for refining elsewhere. This has actually become a part of my workflow so I'm not giving up Ideas any time soon. As much as I like the new features of Illustrator Draw, they are USELESS (Hear that Adobe?) without the ability to export vector art.
Thanks for another collective poke in the eye, Adobe. If there's any justice, the $50 AffinityDesigner app will unseat you as emperor soon. Affinity Designer - Vector art & design

Feature Requests/Bug Reports for PlayBook OS 2.0

I'd like to report a few bugs/features that I think would really help make PlayBook better.
Although most are minor items there is a chance that some items would be better suited as private reports directly to RIM. If there is an appropriate channel to do so, please advise.
For now, these 4 items are the main ones that come to mind.
1.) Screen settings: I would **really**, **really** like to have an option to go to standby after 30min, 1hour, 2hours, or better yet - **never** (especially when I'm plugged in to A/C power or docked. There are several apps I enjoy using (e.g. Browser) that I read/watch... only to have the device try to auto-suspend when the 5min is up.
2.) If it is possible, it would be very nice if holding the volume up/down buttons actually continuously increased/decreased the volume vs. having to press the buttons multiple times
3.) When using the Browser, I often minimize/auto-hide the location bar to maximize my screen real-estate... however when swiping down to view it... if I type a partial address and notice a match in the drop down for the site I want... I can't click on it, as this triggers the menu's auto-hide action
4.) The new Messages app is great! My only issue is that although I like the blinking red LED indicator (similar to a BB phone), the red corner marker in the top left of the screen is too distracting (and ruins the asthetics) of the apps/games I'm running when I get new messages all day long. It would be very nice if there was a separate option for this indicator. (e.g. I still want the LED light, and the email count/icon indicator... just not the red corner overlay)
Otherwise I'm loving my PlayBook both as a user and a developer and I'm looking forward to whats to come. ;-)
PlayBook Apps: DataMine, Dots + Boxes, 5 Marbles
BlackBerry SmartPhone Apps: 5 Marbles Soon: **** (D.Z.A), ****Quest, **** Challenge, VaultCracker, DevBrowser, Radial****

Allow me to use the native contact, calendar and email apps to work with my contacts, calendar and email that are on my phone/desktop. Can't believe that this is not already done.

Feature Request: Cover Flow for Selecting Desktop Picture

Cover Flow is a great way to scan through a set of images within a defined visual real estate. It would be perfect for the Desktop System Preferences, where we users have had to suffer forever with squinting at 72x51pixel images (at 1440x900 resolution) of our desktops. It's nearly impossible at this thumbnail size to tell what image one is looking at, and selecting to view it in the preview at 128x73 pixels is only marginally better. And of course, there's no way I know of to expand the System Preferences window to expand this whole scanario. It's the year 2009 guys; please give us your great Cover Flow to help us choose our Desktop Pictures in a reasonable way.

Hi Scott,
I know this isn't the best place, but Apple doesn't make easily apparent where to submit such requests, and I know its staff do occasionally visit these boards.
As to the appropriateness of the expectation, I have to disagree. I make my living in user interface and usability, and Apple has clearly set the expectation in the user's mind that System Preferences is the primary method for setting all sorts of Finder behaviors, including screensavers and desktop pictures. I see no reason for the user to either accept a substandard main method of setting this preference or have to learn a secondary one simply to avoid the main method.
As to the System Preference not lending itself to Cover Flow, there may be some underlying technology of which I'm unaware, but interface-wise, it seems to fit right into the Preference screen:

SQL Developer Feature Request :: Tool Security for DBAs

TOAD has a feature that our DBAs like. It is called TOAD Security. In effect the tool looks at a table (on a per instance, per schema basis) to determine what menu options and features should be enabled/disabled. DBA's are provided with a GUI interface to manage the permissions, however once the table changes are noted, then the activity can be scripted for other schema/instances.
If it is not already in the plans, then it would be an excellent feature to add to SQL Developer. With something like this in place, we could defintely consider moving to SQL Developer as our tool of choice.

thats understandable. The expense of TOAD is small peanuts compared to the larger sums of monies being spent in IT, however, IMHO there is no sense spending it if a proper match can be found. I am just watching and waiting as the Oracle product continues to mature. Having the ability for tool to be controlled via an external security model, would be a plus.
To give an idea, DBA's basically took away abilities that were too easy to accidentally do but had bad results..
* Drop an object.... they prefer us to physically write the statement... no oops click the button accidentally. This applies to a test environment as well as production.
* Kill a Session..... again, test (not in production) we can kill a process thread, but they didn't want it to be so easy as a click of a button.
... I could go on... but you get the idea. At first they went overboard, and essentially turned our TOAD tool into an expensive Notepad clone. After working with them, the permissions were readjusted and we have been fine since then. The feature makes a good companion to the database level security for things that the Database Security setup does not cover.
