Feature Request: provide screen resolution options?

Firstly, thanks for the amazing browserlab, it's so useful.
However, it would be great if we could preview sites in different screen sizes too.
Is this feature likely to be added at any point?

Hello,
I'd like to see more screen resolution settings too
Currently, 1024x768 is still a good percentage of visitors, but IMHO the sum of people with 1280+ is greater.
It also seems to me that your virtual machines sometimes renders a little less than 1024...
thank you for improving Browser Lab

Screen resolution option only 800x600

I have a G5 Dual 2.3 and an Acer 1917A monitor. I used this monitor with no issue on a G4 Dual. Plugged it into the "new" G5 and the only screen resolution option I have is 800x600 (not high enough). I have not installed any software from acer (can't find it, and frankly don't know if I ever had any). Any ideas as to what I am missing?

What's the native resolution, 1280x1024?
(I can't find info on a 1917A)
Try another user account.
If you need to, set up another user account with admin privledges.
See if the problem persists.
if not, it is a software problem in your account.
Might also download the ATI Display Panel, and see if resolution adjustment can be made there:

24 inch iMac screen resolution options

I have a 24 inch iMac. The native 1920x1200 resolution is great for displaying large amounts of data, but is sometimes too small for my aging eyeballs to see comfortably. The next option is 1344x840 which is easier to see, though a bit grainy, but I lose huge amounts of displayed data on web pages and things like that. I'd love the option for 1680x1050 (like the native res on 20 inch iMacs) but it is not an option on my display preferences selection menu. Why is that resolution not an option on the menu? Can I get to that resolution another way?

To SteveCG
I must be a conspiracy theorist. I've just bought a 20" iMac after many friends gave Macs such a great rap about their graphics etc. The 6 year-old 13" Dell Inspiron 4000 Laptop I'd just left produced much sharper screen images. Most of the work I do is just producing and reading text - reports and emails etc. I'm am SO annoyed that fonts are not sharp and clear on the 20" screen. Increasing the size (Command +) does not make any difference - the edges are still fussy.
I complained (fruitlessly) to Apple Support after I found the best resolution I could get was only 1680 x 1050. Was told that there was nothing Apple support could do to improve it and buying a better graphics card would not help since the maximum screen resolution was related to the composition of the screen structure.
And my theory? Apple will shortly launch a better higher resolution screen on the market and encourage us all to rush out and buy one.

Screen resolution options in Mini

I'm sorry to post a speculative question.
I'm planning to get a Mac mini shortly. I have assumed that the Minis have very flexible display options and I will able to set a screen resolution that matches a monitor's aspect ratio of 16:10 without distortion of loss of screen territory. Would this be right?
The background: I've just bought a low end 19" widescreen monitor in preparation for the Mini, thinking I can use it on my old G4 iBook in the meantime. The iBook doesn't have a wealth of display options (only 3), so I'm getting 1024x768 resolution on the external monitor which results either in an image stretched sideways or a band of unused monitor either side of the screen image. OK, but I want to make full use of the monitor with the Mini.

Sure,
The Mini deals with the 16:10 aspect ratio quite well. You'll probably see small black horizontal bars when watching 16:9 aspect ratio movies, which is a good thing, I think, and better than stretching the movie to fill the 16:10 aspect ratio. Otherwise, windows and other stuff appear just fine.
Your low-end 19" monitor is probably a 1680 x 1050 resolution, like the Dell 20.1" 2005FPW (16:10) I'm currently using with my Mini is. And believe it or not, at that size and resolution, our monitors are of a higher resolution and pixel density than a 23" monitor at 1950 x 1080 (16:9), or a 24" monitor at 1950 x 1200 (16:10).
That is to say, that picture sharpness will appear better at the right distance, because the PPI and dot pitch is better, even though the resolution is stated as being lower on the smaller monitors.
Does that mean that smaller is better? Maybe for some, it is. But I'm currently waiting for a new and well-priced NEC at 23", 1950 x 1080 (16:9), which will probably begin shipping in a week or two.
Here's a link to a cool Display Dimensions Calculator that somebody pointed out to me, recently:
http://thirdculture.com/joel/shumi/computer/hardware/ppicalc.html
So, try it out. You'll probably see how sharp a low-end, smaller monitor really is.
Peace to you,

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!

Lost screen resolution option

Actually, this isn't a question about an Apple monitor, but it's the kind of thing contributors here seem to know about. Hope that's OK.
I've been happily using my G4 (1.25 Dual) with a Belinea 17" CRT (30 10 20) for some years, with successive versions of OSX. Just recently I opened 'Displays' in System Preferences and closed it, without altering anything, and the screen resolution immediately changed.
Now I can't change it back - evidently the original resolution is no longer shown in the drop down list. If anyone knows ANYTHING I can do to get it back again, I'd be eternally grateful, as this has ruined my Mac-using experience.
Thanks,
Andy

Thanks to everyone who replied, I sorted it out in the end!

Zen feature request - please add an option to completely dim the screen when i

Hello, I know I can lock the screeen to dim it completely, but this is a REAL hassle. I would like to see this as an option in the system menu. How can we get items like this in front of Creative's development staff Without locking my 32gig player it'sis eating the battery, and that's not good.
Thanks,DaveR

Why are you posting this here ? This is a User to User forum only.
Apple don't read these forums, and there are Apps which do what you're asking for I believe.

No wide screen resolution option

i just connected my imac to a external display(HD TV) useing a vga cable. the only problem i have is that the resolution wont go high enough to tvs native resolution and ratio. i need a wide screen ratio but the only option i get in the dispay settings is 3:4
i do not want to pay for a fix.

VGA does not support widescreen and is limited to 640 x 480 resolution.

Feature Request: "Flip Screen" on iPod

Hey Apple,
Here's the deal: When I wear my 4 GB white iPod nano in its armband, I have to wear the armband upside-down (iPod screen closer to my hand) because otherwise the screen's hard to read.
How about adding an option under Settings to Flip Screen, so that the nano's screen is actually readable when you're wearing the nano armband in its correct orientation?

really you need to post a request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
but however apple may not listen to only one view

Feature Request - Flag or note options

Switched from the Dark Side ten days ago after spending my first dozen computing years on PCs. Am tickled with my new Mini and having a great time getting familiar with the Mac environment and learning what different apps can do.
On the PC, I used Thunderbird for email and there are features it includes that I miss in Mail. My preference is to stay with Mail rather than switch to TBird for Mac, but the absence of certain options is a nuisance given the nature of my work.
One thing I'd like to see ASAP are more sophisticated options for flagging, rather than merely whether or not to add a flag to an email message. Minimally, it would be good to be able to choose from an assortment of different coloured flags. But ideally, added to that feature, I'd like to see a tool for setting follow-up reminders (e.g., a right-click option that lets you send a reference to the email and add a note about it in iCal).
Alternatively, being able to attach a sticky or note to a flagged message could provide the additional functionality I'm looking for.
Does anyone know of any plans to add these or similar features to Mail?

Apple doesnt often announce new features/plans unless its a for sure thing, or right before launch. I have not heard of any of these features, but that does not mean they are not coming. If you would like, I have provided the link below where you can leave feedback. This feedback is where apple harvests many ideas for upcoming software.

X-FI driver feature request(s): put all options in plain conso

Hi, Could somebody please pass this request on to whoever makes the plain audio console?
I would like to have all the features in the graphical consoles, available in the plain console.
missing features such as the EQ, bass redirection, THX console, etc.
and could individual speaker volume please be brought back into the options?
Also, if the mode switching is really necessary, could this please be implemented into automatic application profiles?
thank you.

lol, yeah.
somebody needs to bring back aureal.
what happened to innovation in sound anymore?
its like creative killed it, and everyone else is afraid of doing anything.
there isn't much for linux either.
a3d was way ahead of its time, and still is.
I don't think to this day eax can do the geometry processing that a3d once did.
2. speakers and headphones actually had good 3d sound.
I don't have the full space to set up my 5., so I can't get the full surround effect, not to mention it still isn't that great.
and when is pci-express cards coming?
regular pci is dying fast, and will soon be extinct.
get with the times, creative.
we need some updates, better/more stable drivers, less bloat, and better 3d sound processing.
is this ever going to happen?

Feature Request : provide a way to create access policies or identities with matching condition based on the HTTP header's "Referer" field

Hello,
I have a use-case I would like to share with you. When a customer configures its WSA with highly restrictive internet access like in the example below, it may trigger some issues :
1- allow internet access only for URLs defined in whitelist.
2- block ALL other requests.
Let's take the following example :
1- the customer only allow requests to www.siteA.com. siteA.com is the only URL included in its whitelist.
2- www.siteA.com contains many embedded objects (such as facebook like tags, youtube videos, links to partners sites, ...)
In this configuration, the end user will be allowed to reach siteA but the page will not be fully displayed. All the embedded objects not directly located on siteA will be missing.
With WSA, the easiest way I can imagine to solve the issue is to list all the embedded objects present on siteA, get back their URL and also add these URLs to the whitelist. But this solution if of course far to be really convenient since it involves to know exactly how each HTTP page you want to consult is built.
With other proxies, such as Bluecoat proxies or McAfee Web Gateway proxies for example, I used to solve this kind of issue by using the HTTP referer field (the URL you come from). For example with Bluecoat :
<Proxy>
ALLOW request.header.Referer.url.domain=//www.siteA.com/
=> All requested objects from siteA.com will be automatically allowed by the proxy, even if they are not part of my whitelist.
- Do you have a better suggestion than the one I'm currently using with WSA (adding each sites in whitelist) ?
- Would it be possible to add the field HTTP referer as a matching condition for Identities and access policies in your next release ?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

As far as I'm aware this functionality is still not available... would be an awesome feature to have, but could also be abused at the same time by a user writing their own "middleware" proxy and setting the referrer header to that allowed site.. could be done in like ~15 lines of perl / python.
Either way... would still be a cool feature to have.

Feature Request: Provide search functionality to procedures, functions and keywords in code

Have been using SQL Server since 1998, and been wondering why MS cant better the GUI , in terms of ease of use, as its done in Visual Studio and other such tools, though there are some enhancements like multiple window etc, would expect few more for easy
working for developers.
1) A search text box, in the SSMS interface, for searching stored procedures, functions, tables etc would be very useful, instead of expanding the entire tree and going through a long list to find your procedure or table, especially when you have a large
list of them.
2) Also a code search tool, like to find a keyword in the entire stored procedures, triggers and functions would be useful, currently we had to generate whole script and then find the keyword, and this is cumbersome, as you have to move back and forth to
find which stored procedure or function has that keyword etc.
Thanks.

1. You already have feature in SQL management studio to search for objects using full names or patterns through object explorer
See
http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2013/02/object-filtering-using-ssms-object.html
2. For this you can use the catalog view sys.sql_modules and fire a query on it
see

Feature Request: allow Layer sort options + math in layer search fields

First off, thank you so much for implementing layer sorting! I have one suggestion, and that would be to add a sort option by most recently edited or most recently created.
That and the ability to do math in fields would be sublime.

Hello Sly,
I did exactly thuch beast for freehand some years ago. It's called Layersets. Perhaps we can discuss this off list first.
My Email is [email protected]

Feature Request: More input resolution choice.

It really would be a tremendous help to be able to select more 16:9 resolutions between 1920x1080 and 1280x720, as that is an absolutely enormous jump. Particularly in terms of performance.
Supporting 16:10 resolutions would be great, too, since, half of the people that I work with have monitors with this aspect ratio and many with 1900x1200.

Hmm,
FMLE shows the resolutions of the detected Capture Device.
If you need other resolutions / aspect ratio you could use resizing and cropping.
