Feature Request: publishedCollection:setPhotoPublished(photo, remoteId, remoteUrl, status)

In normal published collections I can do this
publishedCollection:addPhotoByRemoteId( photo, remoteId, remoteUrl, true )
and that will add a photo to the collection and set its published status to true and would not appear as photo need to be publsied by pressing the Publish Button. This gives me flexibility to add photos to multiple published collection without the requirements to republish. Also, it can act as update function if the photo is already in the collection. But.. with smart collection the function call addPhotoByRemoteId fail as there is no such method.
I am building a plugin that keep track of a single instance of the photos in the remote server (flickr) and each collection is just a mere photoset where a photo can be available within multiple photosets (collection in lightroom). with the function describe above my plugin worked well... but when I created a smart collection and try to publish that.. you can guess it, the function call fail.. for now I just diasble it for smart collections...
I want to suggest..
publishedCollection:setPhotoRemoteId(photo, remoteId, remoteUrl, status)
a somewhat similar method to the previous one but it only work if the photo is aready in a collection thus will raise error if the photo is not in that collection. This will work both on normal publish collection or smart publish collection.
Or better still.. make the first method addPhotoByRemoteId to work in both normal or smart collection. If the photo exist in smart publish collection because meeting criteria of the smart collection it will update the remote informations but if the photo is not already in smart publish collection method just exit quietly.

Feature Request: Add multiple photos to catalog at once

The API currently allows you to use catalog:addPhoto() to add a single photo to the catalog.
This works fine, but a poor user experience when adding a number of photos (esp. dozens or hundreds) - there's a separate child progress bar for each, masking the overall progress, and if the user has a sound enabled on import, it plays the sound on each photo import. If there were a way to import multiple photos at once (or API options/params to disable both of the feedbacks), this would make for a better UX when importing a lot of pictures.

Sorry. I'm having a hard time finding my way around these forums, and the search is less than helpful.
Please point me in the right direction.
Edit: I found the correct forum now, and have recreated my feature requests there and deleted them from this forum (with the exception of this thread, which I can't delete at this point). My apologies.

Feature Request - Save Emailed Photos

I'd like to be able to save pictures that are in my email to my iphone- using them as wallpaper, applying to contacts, etc...

In the bottom left corner of the email dialog, select Create New Preset. That'll take you to an export dialog where you can add watermark and save it as a new email preset.

Feature Request: Photo Borders and Copying in Books

These are a few related feature requests. If anyone knows of a better way to do this with the current software, then I would love to hear it.
When making books I like to have borders around the pictures of various colors (usually black or white) and various widths. In Apeture this is a pain to do. I fiqured out that I could fake it by making a picture box and inserting a solid black picture into it and then creating a smaller picture box in front of it for my real photo. This might be tolerable if I could at least then select both picture boxes and their contents to copy and then onto other pages as a template that I can resize as needed.
Ideally I would love to be able to copy and paste multiple elements on a book page and I would like to be able to define photo borders. Any chance of seeing this in the near future?
Thanks,
Sean

Thanks for the reply. You are right, the cut and paste works fine, it just didn't work the way I expected it to. Maybe that is a GUI design thing to consider. I was actually trying to click and drag a selection box like you might do in iPhoto to select multiple images that are right beside each other. This doesn't work at all in Aperture, but your method does work just fine.
I agree with the other poster that some additional features like:
Photo Borders
Export to PSD (with layers)
Custom page sizes and Custom themes
would be very nice and start to make that tool truley useful.
Thanks for a really nice product. Keep up the good work and stay ahead of the pack.

Attempting to update iphone software via pc. itunes engaged. back up does not appear to have occurred. device now locked requesting restore action. anyway to save photos in this status? or restore after ?

attempting to update iphone software via pc. itunes engaged. back up does not appear to have occurred. device now locked. requesting restore action. anyway to save photos in this status? or restore after?

it was just the biggest mistake of today, not my life :P
restoration steps i took were:
1. connect the dead phone to another pc with itunes turned on
2. follow the notifications on that itunes
3. restore the phone
4. disconnect the phone after the restoration without clicking any buttons of that itunes
5. connect the phone to my own pc
6. my own pc can recognize the phone and itunes will try to restore the backup of my phone
7. restore from the backup on my pc
8. sync everything (tick all the apps in itunes manually since there is no such button to select all) and reorganize all the apps
9. after ca. 25 min, the phone is back to the previous sw version

Feature request: import/copy locked photos only

the option to "import/copy locked photos only" (files that have been locked/tagged by camera) would be helpfull.

I'm sure I've seen that request over on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked, but I can't find it right now. That would be the best place to add your vote or request as this forum will be closed once the beta's over.

Canon 70D - firmware feature request - separate photo / video picture style

Hello, Canon.
I dont know, if there is a dedicated way of making a feature request for a firmware update?
I have a simple problem, so please take a look at it. When I choose a picture style in photo mode, the same style is activating for the video mode and vice-versa.
The previous camera that I had, the 60D, was remembering the video and the photo picture style separately.
I will appreciate it, if you make this behaviour available for the 70D.
It can cause a headache, if you need to shoot a video with a custom picture style, but then forget to turn it off for a photo shoot, or the other way around.
Thanks.

This is just a user-based forum, you won't get any technical Canon response here. Though one of the Canon admins may be able to point you to a place where you could file your request.
I wouldn't get your hopes up though, Canon doesn't really do a lot of feature add-ons through firmware, mostly they just put bandaides on mistakes.
Although there are exceptions. The firmware updates for the 7D, 5DIII and 1DX among them.

Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)

In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

Feature Request (again); Adobe Bridge Cache Manager

In Adobe Bridge, the Cache is still a problem and a huge memory hog. I asked for a good Cache Manager over 3 years ago when it was needed CS4.
Now in CS6, I am disappointed that the cache system in Bridge has not changed. Why do you have a section in the Adobe Forums that asks for 'Feature Request' and then ignore them?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2652688#2652688
"I would personally like a tool within Bridge that allows me to manage and control the Cache in a more personal and effective way. I would like a toggle that would keep '100% previews' in one folder for a selected period of time (1 day to 1 month) before the folder's cache is automatically purged. And another toggle that would give me the option to keep a selected folder's cache permanently intact (such as an Important Portfolio Folder or an Edited Images Folder).
As a photographer, I take and edit a lot of photos. When I import a photoshoot with 1,500 photos (not uncommom at all) I enjoy having the Bridge Previews at 100%, but for only a limited time. Unfortunately, I forget to purge the individual cache of that folder and the cache builds to a point that makes Adobe Bridge CS4 very slow. I then have to Purge the whole Bridge Cache in order to make Bridge run smooth again.

If you submit a feedback poll where Yammer pointed you, and it gets a couple of hundred (thousand?) users agree you might get Adobe's attention.
I agree with Yammer that Bridge is a low priority project with Adobe. Think their target audience is the casual user with a few hundred photos added each year. Your use pattern is more specialized and you either have to adapt with scripts or move to another product IMO.
The size of cache takes a lot of people by surprise. It can grow humongous if you use HQ thumbs and save 100% previews. One can dump the cache in preferences, but many are reluctant to to this as they think it will delete all their keywords and edits. In addition, to do a search you have to re-index all your files, which can take a long time.
If you have "export cache to folders" checked, dumping the cache in preferences only dumps the central cache. To dump the folder cache you have to visit each folder and click on Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder. Again, most people do not recognize this. This technique purges both the central and folder cache for this folder only.
It the 100% previews are the problem for you it would seem like a simple task for the script people to write one that would delete it after xx days as the 100% previews are held in a specific folder.
Bridge is not a good digital asset manager. You are probably in that arena dealing with several hundred thousand images. Omke uses a DAM as it does some functions better than Bridge, but Bridge is still his main program. Can't remember the name, but if you read these posts you might have seen it.

Feature Request for Adobe Camera Raw CC

Cinema DNG Videographers / Cinema Photographers using ACR to debayer footage...
Feature request to export / save video files directly from ACR - - > Option to create video files with fps.
Note: The option to export video does exist within the main menu of Photoshop. However, this does not apply to image sequences when imported into ACR.
Uses:
Current workflow for using ACR requires applying color correction and/or image presets to footage in order to process DNG image sequences.
When shooting Cinema DNG files the image sequence is likely to be hundreds or even thousands of photos in length. These files could be processed with ACR and no other application.
Adobe Media Encoder does not accept 16-bit Tiff sequences (CS 5.5).
AE and Premiere CC accept 16-bit image sequences.
Why import into AE and CC just to set FPS?
Why import into AE and CC just to export proxy files & additional video files?
May be a very applicable option for 64-bit & 256-bit background processing?
Why make this feature applicable?
ACR is remarkable at debayering DNG images.
ACR processes DNG files faster than AE.
ACR enables user color-correction presets as well as secondary Look Up Tables (LUTs) to be applied to image sequences (potential investment for Kodak, Fuji and other color-correction houses).
ACR has the potential to offer users the ability to acquire a single application for processing DNG image sequences without having to purchase an entire post-production software suite.

Here's my wishlist for ACR. I'll list the feature first and then in a separate section afterwards, I'll explain why I want it.
1) Shadow/Highlights
2) Multi-instance and modeless behavior for ACR so I can truly have ACR open, Bridge open, PS open and work in all three and even open another ACR window.
3) The ability to open one image into PS and keep the rest going in ACR when you have multiple images open in ACR.
4) The point locator feature for curves like curves has in PS so you can find out what tone area on the curve a given area in the photo is, just by clicking/dragging over an area on the photo.
5) White balance assist to make it easier to get skin tones right when there are no good grayscale references in the photo.
6) An ACR pref to have a suffix automatically added to each filename when it goes into PS so after editing it in PS, I can just hit Ctrl-S and not have to manually add a suffix onto every single image I edit in CS.
7) A drag/drop bin for recently used saved settings in ACR and shortcut keys for cycling through a preview of those settings (described in more detail below).
8) A pref to allow the Save Images folder in the Save dialog in ACR to default to the directory of the RAW files rather than the last directory used.
9) More sophisticated sharpening in ACR (like smart sharpening).
10) Ability to set label or rating when only one image open in ACR.
11) Ability to delete and close when only one image open in ACR.
12) An easier way to see how a rotated image looks. There is no way in ACR to see the straight version of an image you've rotated slightly.
13) Shortcut keys to cycle through saved curve settings.
Here's the explanation for why I want each of these:
1) Shadow/Highlights. A significant percentage of my images need no other adjustments in PS except shadow/highlights and it's a big workflow savings to be able to finish a picture in ACR instead of having to take it into PS.
2) Multi-instance and modeless. The CS2 behavior is better than it was before because you can set it up for Bridge to host ACR and still be able to use PS. But, I often open many images in ACR and the current design still forces me to serially finish all those images in ACR before I do anything else becuase I'm blocked from going back to either Bridge or PS (depending upon who's hosting ACR) and I can't open any other images in ACR. This forces a serial workflow when sometimes I'd like to be able to be in the middle of one workflow (a hundred images open in ACR), but go do something else in Bridge and PS for a short period of time. I can't do that today.
3) The ability to open one image from ACR into PS while keeping the other images in ACR. When I see the preview in ACR, this is often the first time I've seen my images at any decent size. I often find I want to take a few into PS just to see how well they fix up with certain changes or to see if they benefit from things I can do in PS and can't in ACR, without discarding all the other images I have in ACR at the time. So, again, I am forced to serially finish all the image I have in ACR before I can take any into PS. I'd like to be able to open the selected images in PS and keep the others in ACR.
4) The point locator feature that PS has in the curves dialog is very valuable for finding out where on the curve a given feature in the photo is. I'd like that feature in the PS curves.
5) White balance assist for skin tones. One of the hardest things in ACR is getting the white balance right for skin tones when there is no easy gray reference in the photo. I don't know how it would work (I think this is an area for your invention and cleverness), but I'd like some sort of white balance assist that helps me pick a white balance that leads to a pleasing skin tone. I'd be willing to tell ACR where the skin tone is by pointing at it.
6) I add a suffix of "-edited" to ALL images that I open in PS from ACR. That means I have to type that suffix on every image when I hit the Save command in PS. I'd like a preference in ACR to automatically append a suffix onto the filename when it goes into PS to save me that typing on every single image. I've even tried to figure out if I could write a script in PS to do this for me (if file extension is a RAW file extension when user hits save, then add default suffix to the filename before Save dialog comes up), but I haven't figured out whether it can be done via script or not. I know that others save their PSD or JPEG files to a different directory than their RAW files (I keep all of mine in the same directory so this isn't an issue for me), so I imagine they'd like the ability to specify a default relative path also to save having to point every PSD they save in PS to a new directory.
7) Drag/drop bin for RAW settings. In a workflow of processing 200-800 RAW files, I'd like the ability to easily and temporarily save a small number of RAW file settings (10 would do). I know you can do it in the pull right menu in ACR today, but that's too much typing and clicks to make it worth it. I'm looking for something that allows me to pick a bunch of files from a shoot, identify a representative "sunny" shot and drop it's settings into a bin that I quickly label sunny. Then, when other sunny shots come up, rather than having to scroll around to find that image or go back to bridge to find that image, I just drag it out of the bin an drop it on the selected images. I don't want it to persist globally because then they pile up and I have to clean them up. I do need them to persist between ACR sessions as long as Bridge or PS is still running because I often process my RAW files in many ACR sessions. The whole point is to make an easy place for me to deposit a small number of saved settings so I can easily (very few mouse clicks or keystores) use them again while processing the same shoot. It's all about speeding up the workflow and letting me re-use work I've done earlier in the workflow. In my experience, this happens most often for white balance and curves since I'm more likely to tweak exposure on nearly every shot anyway.
8) When I hit Save Images in ACR, it remembers the previously set directory. In my workflow, I want it to default to the directory of the first image I'm saving. The way it is now, it is NEVER the right directory so I always have to change it. It could be smart enough so my normal workflow never has to change it. Even better, I'd get to set a pref that was a relative path from where the first image is located. So, when I'm saving JPEGs, I could have a default path of ./JPEG (a sub-directory under where the RAW files are located). Other people would want ../JPEG (a sub-directory at the same level as where the RAW files are stored).
9) In the spirit of getting as much of my work done in ACR as possible, I'd like to see a unification of the sharpening functionality so that ACR can do smart sharpening with all the same features. That would again keep many of my images out of PS and drastically improve my workflow.
10) I'd like the ability to set a label or rating when there's only one image open in ACR. Because you can do this when you have multiple images open in ACR, I'm programmed to set this in ACR, but that workflow programming is busted when I only have one image open.
11) I'd like the ability to delete an image from ACR when there's only one image open in ACR. Just like with labels and ratings described above, I'm programmed to want to delete a ruined image when I see it up close in ACR and determine it's no good. In this case, I think I'd like to just hit the trash can icon and have the ACR window close and have the image deleted in one single step.
12) When I straighten an image in ACR, there's no good way to see how the rotated version looks at full size. All you get to see is a thumb in ACR (if you have multiple images open) or a thumb in Bridge. To see whether it rea

Multiple Imperative Feature Requests

I am a MN Photographer and have been using PS Lightroom through 2 betas and 2 release versions. I have been amazed at the improvements Adobe has added, but from my point of view, they need to add a few more features to make LR more robust and efficient!
I love the way LR makes terrific web galleries!
I am running LR from a Seagate Barracuda 300 External Hard Drive with Firewire connection. I am using a Mac Powerbook (1GHz Processor) with 60GB HD and 55% free, w/ 2GB DRAM, and an Apple Cinema Display. I can't complain about slow downs, but keep my permissions tuned once a week, both on the Mac PB and all EHDs.
LIGHTROOM FEATURE REQUESTS
1. From the Web module, there is only one option for adding Copyright Info to images in the Web Galleries, either ON or OFF. It would be a great addition to have this option variable by type size, type placement on images, and opacity. I last generated a web gallery and some of the images said, "2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," but many of the images said, "Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," without a year. A few images said, "Copyright 2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," like it is supposed to! The LR application has been inconsistent so far in this area. By adding a line of copy that can be saved, and by varying the opacity and placement on images would be a huge step forward!
2. It is IMPERATIVE that you embed metadata into the Web gallery images. This is primarily for adding keywords and copyright information, but LR is inconsistent so far. Sometimes metadata is preserved, but it doesn't always get embedded when exporting images.
3. When I generated a Flash Web Gallery, some of the color was good, some of it was terrible. I have suggested before that you write into the action that takes the original image, reduces it in size, then convert to profile from Prophoto to sRGB. I suspect that you have a script in there "Save for Web". This script is denigrating the color when Convert to Profile would preserve the color. Admittedly Safari is the primary web browser I use, and it's color-centric, whereas most of the others IE, Netscape, and Mozilla, aren't.
4. When I use HTML for the web galleries, the color is spot on, but a young friend told me it would be better to hit one button to go through the images as in a rapidly advancing slide show, rather than hitting each image, and then wait for it to enlarge. This could be another marked improvement, if you made the output a slideshow from the Web Module.
5. I tried generating a slideshow from the Lightroom menu, and had about 200 images in a collection. The application went through the motions, but I tried opening the slideshow but it didn't work. I tried it in PDF format and it output a 135MB file that ADobe Acrobat couldn't open. It is still not working. I have also used a third party application Photo to Movie (www.LQGraphics.com). This is a $50 application that you can add music to and vary the zooms and dissolves and this works incredibly well!!!
6. One of my biggest problems so far is the sort mechanism. I have about 9500 images in my library, and about 5% of those were made from about 2004 and on. My images are sorted by "capture time," but the images shot back in CY 2004--2005 are mixed in somewhere way down in the pile. There are some bugs in the program for reading the capture time, and so far this is not working accurately!
7. From the Lightroom Library module, several times I have exported images for 3rd party needs and the application puts out varying results. In March I output some images for Communication Arts magazine. They specified file size and format, and it took me several times to export the images to their specifications. I recently exported some images for submission to a UK based stock photography agent. The images came from 5 different cameras~~Hasselblad w/ Imacon Digital Back, Kodak DCS-14, Canon 1ds MkII, and Canon D-20. There were 10 images that needed to be output as JPEGs (

1. LR uses what was written in the copyright field so it's your data entry that is inconsistent.
2. Are you 100% certain this is not working reliably under 1.1? It definitely wasn't working at all under 1.0 and Adobe responded to complaints. Since 1.1, I've taken large numbers of Web-generated pictures into iView and not found any cases where the metadata was missing. "Sometimes" is too vague. How exactly can you prove it? What programs prove it?
3. Not sure, but isn't this a problem because of Flash? Also the browser you use is not important - it's the browser that your visitor uses that you need to focus on.
4. Realistically, Flash is better for this. You can always get someone to write/modify HTML templates to do such a slideshow, but the built-in templates are already very complex and this suggestion would add another layer of browser incompatibility.
7. This isn't a feature request. Raise this in the main forum - and be specific (your post was also too long and got truncated). How can anyone help you if you say "varying results"? It's unlikely that any variation is random.

Feature Request "Copy of column-name" in 2.1.1 not working

Scanning all the feature requests added to 2.1.1, i came across to the following one:
Title: Copy of column-name
Description:
after getting the query result it would be greate if we can mark the column-name and the copy the name of the column to the clipboard for further use (e.g. select colum_name from table ...)
Comment:
Try 2.1.1. You can drag a selection of columns to the worksheet. If not, then please provide more detail in future request.
Status: In Release 2.1.1 ;
Now i've tried few times to drag the column from the query result into the worksheet but it doesn't work. The only thing which works is to change the columns orders in the grid result.
Anybody experience the same result?
Dani

@Raghu
I'm already aware of this and it's working but the downside is that it copies the cell value too which i don't see the point.
If i want the cell values than i can export or copy them.
The request description was different though.
@K
Unfortunately you can't drag the column name from the navigator or result grid. Would be nice if it would.
Is anything else i can do to get this fix or are you gonna raise a CQ for this?
Regards,
Dani

Feature Requests: "Last Import" shortcut / Last visited collections in "New Coll." dialog

i think this isn't not only my personal workflow and others would be happy about this minor improvements:
1. after an import of photos from the memory card i'm usually separate them into several new collections. after naming them i'm pointing to an existing collection set.
here i always need to scroll around in the pulldown menu of the new collection dialog to find the desired set. this menu is growing longer and longer with my nearly 100k photos.
it would be extremely nice to have displayed here some, let's say, top 5 or 10 collection sets i've visited to get quickly to a set where to drop the new collection.
such kind of history is already availabe in the left hand pulldown menu above the film strip. so it shouldn't be difficult to integrate this in the new collection dialog.
additionally a structured menu would be better there than the current view with all collection sets folded out.
additionally think about the mac-like navigation through folders in the finder with the cursor keys: up/down to move in the set structure, right to go into a set, left to move one level up.
2. after having dropped a new collection into a set i usually need to go back to the last import section of the library to continue my work. this is possible only by clicking in the catalog panel or by choosing last import from the left hand pulldown menu above the film strip. here a keyboard shortcut would be a huge time saver.

You've got some nice ideas there. As they may not make the final release, and this forum will be closed down once the beta is over, 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: publishedCollection:setPhotoPublished(photo, remoteId, remoteUrl, status)
