Feature request: recursionGuard:performWithGuard() should return a value

It would be better if recursionGuard:performWithGuard () were like LrFunctionContext.callWithContext() and returned the result of the called function. As a general rule, any such "control-flow" wrapper should return the result of the called function.

So far I've been using home-brewed recursion guarding, a.k.a. flag variables, however its hard to imagine returning function results not being a good idea...

Conditions - Top 10 - Should return 10 values ?

We have used conditions extensively, however this issue is causing us some grief.
We have a query to calculate Debtor Days. We have two conditions on Debtors, one to show Bottom 10 and one to show Top 10. Bottom 10 works perfectly, however Top 10 returns 7 values when you Activate it.
There are over 80 values in total so it's not a case of it only showing all values.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Gill

Thanks for your reply.
I've cut the query down to only one characteristic and still the same result.

Single RFC Lookup should return multiple values - but returns no values

I have an RFC Lookup in my PID system that i had to change due to a test defect.
the FM i wrote was working on a single value and returning the correct entry... however it now needs to return multliple entries and map 0..unbounded....
i have made the changes, the FM works in ECD, however when i call the FM from the mapping, it does not return any values... now, i am asking my basis team to change the PIAPPLUSER to dialog user so i can throw a breakpoint for an external user...
has anyone done a single to multi value mapping on lookup? i am not sure that it is the FM that is incorrect as it is very simple code..
DATA: lt_jobtype TYPE zhr_lkupjobtype_t.
CLEAR     lt_jobtype.
REFRESH lt_jobtype.
SELECT * FROM zhr_lkupjobtype
    INTO TABLE lt_jobtype
    WHERE zinterface_id = import-zinterface_id
    AND   zsap_jobtype = import-zsap_jobtype.
MOVE lt_jobtype TO export.
is there a way of checking the RFC part of an message mapping? i checked the full trace within graphical mapping but this shows no return....

I am using a MOVE instead of APPEND.
according to the keyword help if the tables are identical, you can use MOVE.
it works when i test in SE37.
i have tested it both ways and i get the same result each time.
i even tried it this way:
SELECT * FROM zhr_lkupjobtype
    INTO TABLE export
    WHERE zinterface_id = import-zinterface_id
    AND   zsap_jobtype = import-zsap_jobtype.
and that works too to get the target values into the export table! that's what made me think it was not the code as i have tried three different ways of writing the same code... the Function Module works perfectly anyway! but when it is called from PI i cannot see if any values are returned....

Feature Request: Double Clicking should be slowed down for Browsing use.

I have a menu on my website that you need to click some what fast - but when I do a normal double click using Opera, FF, or IE it doesn't highlight the entire menu. When I try in Safari it does.
It seems like the other browsers have set the double click up a couple notches some how.

This isn't the first instance of someone with mouse issues. It seems Safari is currently ignoring a lot of system wide keyboard and mouse settings, including but not limited to, special function buttons and scroll speeds.
My inital guess is that its a bug just like the others.

Feature Request: Point-Markers to Overlay Range-Markers (& compound markers-track)

Problem:
In Premiere CS6, both Prelude and Premiere, range markers (those with duration greater than zero) obscure any point markers (those with duration=0, the default). This is demonstrated at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cs6/improved-markers-and-importing-from-prelu de/ , at around 04:42. This obscuration discourages use of range-markers.
Solution (feature-request):
Please could you reverse that situation, so that point markers instead overlay range markers. In fact, more generally, shorter-duration markers should overlay longer-duration markers. The idea is that the longer-duration markers would serve as useful background to the shorter-duration ones, and also of course this would reduce loss of information display.
How it would be useful in practice:
For example, when editing a presentation, it is useful to initially mark ranges covering periods such as Establishing, Main Talk, Question&Answer Session, Finale & Applause. Then on top of that to add shorter-duration markers for particular elements to be used or avoided. Then on top of that, add markers for point-events such as "camera jolt".
Better still (feature-request):
Ideally, markers should be considered as a special compound kind of track, a metadata track (after all, markers do get stored as metadata). This (compound) track could then be viewed either in collapsed mode (where it would look like a single track, hopefully with the overlay priorities as described bove) or in expanded mode (revealing some number of separate lanes, defined by user, of markers). Such lanes could be given meaning by the user e.g. Info, Vital-use, Nice-use-if-possible, Avoid, Ancillary (Clapperboard, Grey-Card, Color Charts etc.). Colors could be defined for each lane, to make them intuitive to people, at a glance.
Many thanks,
David

Until things change, you might give subclips a go. They're returned to proper functioning in CC7 where you see only the subclip range in the Source Monitor, but are free to extend or add transitions in the sequence.

Pl/sql package for use with workflow will not return a value

hi all,
just trying to intercept a requisition being turned into an order if it uses a certain cost code. so i have amended the workflow and created a package to check what cost centre a requisition is using. how over the workflow stops on the function that calls the package witha a status of complete as if the package is not returning any values.
the package is as below:

Hi Community, first of all, english is not my native language and im not sure to use the correct terms for PowerCenter - so if im wrong please help me correct and make clear what we need. We have a kind of 3-steps ToDo. First step: Load data from an external source into a "local" datastore (its an oracle db on a server in our "hands")Second step: Check data against several verifications, this is done with a PL/SQL Package. The PL/SQL Package shall be called with an Interfacename who is set in the First PowerCenter Mapping. Our current thoghts are to do this via a stored procedure, which runs as "Target Post Load" and gets a variable "Interface Name".Is that possible? Im not quite sure about it. About the last part its even more unclear how we can solve it:Third part should be switch back to PowerCenter now - and the package (or to be correct a function in the package) should return a value for "okay everything fine => workflow continue" or "something happened => workflow is stopped" Im not sure how i can handle this. I hope my explanations are good enough so you can provide some help?!If there are any questions please ask! Thank you alot, best regards, Christian

How to get a function to return a value occuring after a character

I need to write a function to return the next value occurring after the ":" character in a column. If multiple values of ":" occurs then the function should return the sum of the next value occurring after each ":" in the column.
For example a rating value of 4:1 would return the value of 1. However, the rating of "5:1:1" should return a value of 1+1 = 2, and 6:2:1 will return of 2+1 = 3.
I have the below function skeletion and trying to figure out how the select statement will compute based on the position of : in the column and add the values and return the value back to function.
Function fn_check_internalrating(p_internalrating IN VARCHAR2)
      RETURN number
IS
    cnumber number;
    cursor c1 is
   select ................................
BEGIN
open c1;
fetch c1 into cnumber;
close c1;
RETURN cnumber;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN RETURN NULL;
END;

Hi,
You don't need a cursor: there's no table involved in this function, and no point in using any table.
Here's one way:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_check_internalrating
(   p_internalrating   IN   VARCHAR2
,   p_delimiter            IN   VARCHAR2     DEFAULT     ':'
RETURN NUMBER
DETERMINISTIC          -- Same input always produces same output
IS
    cnumber     NUMBER     := 0;               -- value to be returned
    pos          PLS_INTEGER := INSTR ( p_internalrating
                                    , p_delimiter
                         );          -- position where delimiter was found
BEGIN
    WHILE pos != 0
    LOOP
        cnumber := cnumber + TO_NUMBER ( SUBSTR ( p_internalrating
                                              , pos + 1
                                     , 1
     pos := INSTR ( p_internalrating
                      , p_delimiter
               , pos + 1
    END LOOP;
    RETURN cnumber;
END fn_check_internalrating;
SHOW ERRORSThis assumes the function is a stand-alone function. If it's part of a package, you don't say CREATE OR REPLACE at the beginning.
Try to make functions generic, so that if a similar (but not identical) situation comes up in 6 months from now, you can use the same function. I'm guessing that somethimes you may want to do the same thing with some character other than ':' before each number, so I added the 2nd (optional) argument p_delimiter. You can call the fucntion with either 1 or 2 arguments.
If an error occurs in a PL/SQL fucntion, an error message (showing the exact location of the error) is displayed, and execution halts. If you use an EXCEPTION sectinn, you lose all that functionality, or have to code it yourself. Only use an EXCEPTION handler when you really have to.
For this function, you may or may not want to. For example, if the character right after a delimiter is not a digit, the call to TO_NUMBER in function will raise "ORA-01722: invalid number". You may want to catch that error in an exception handler, and return 0 or NULL. On the other hand, you may want to test that the character after the delimiter is a digit before calling TO_NUMBER, and not have an EXCEPTION section.
What else could go wrong? Try to think of potential problems and fix them when you first write the function. If you discover an error next year, you'll have to spend a fair amount of time finding the function, and getting acquainted with it again.
What should the function return if p_internalrating is NULL, or doesn't contain any delimiters?
What if there's a number longer than 1 digit after a delimiter, e.g. '6:78:9'?

AudiCLip.play should return a boolean value

Java Experts,
looks like it's a bug in java, the audioClip.play method should return a boolean value indicating whether it was able to play the clip or not. Because sometimes the method doesn't play anything. Right now the method plays asynchronously that may be the reason that it returns a void. Thoughts???
Q.

i agree with you..i also encountered this problem sometimes the play method doesn't play and the programmer has no clue to figure this out programmetically...Looks like this problem has no solution..where are java experts in this forum??

Query with subquery should return value but doesn't

When I run this SQL, it returns no value:
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
AND vf.permit_year = 2010
AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
AND vfn.date_issued = (SELECT MAX(date_issued)
FROM vps_fishery_ner
WHERE vp_num = 211652
AND ap_year = 2010);
In order to test, I take out the subquery and run it separately:
SELECT MAX(date_issued)
FROM vps_fishery_ner
WHERE vp_num = 211652
AND ap_year = 2010;
Returns 02-APR-10
Then I paste this date into the original query (using the TRUNC function, of course, since I hardcode only the DDMMYY part of the date):
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
AND vf.permit_year = 2010
AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
AND TRUNC(date_issued) = TO_DATE('02-APR-10');
And this returns the required value, 'A'.
So why doesn't the full query with subquery work, if the value that is returned by the subquery is valid and works when you just paste it in?
Thanks.

Hi,
Not sure about your question.
But you say when you uss 01-apr-10 you get the expected results.
So why dont you try using trunc on botht sides
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
   AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
   AND vf.permit_year = 2010
   AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
   AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
   AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
   AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
   AND trunc(vfn.date_issued) = (SELECT MAX(trunc(date_issued))
                            FROM vps_fishery_ner
                           WHERE vp_num = 211652
                             AND ap_year = 2010);Rememeber if you are couting on some Index to be used you might want to recheck.
IN answer to your question why it does not return with subquery included, because the TIME PART is not the same.
You yourself proved it by using the supplying only the date part.

Bhushan

Feature Request: Shortcut files to web pages should show the website's favicon

If I'm viewing a website, and I drag it's favicon in the address bar onto the desktop, then a shortcut is created to the website. But, the shortcut always has the generic "@" icon. The feature request is to change the icon to include the favicon which I dragged, so for example, if I drag the Apple favicon, I would end up with a shortcut which looks like a document with the Apple logo on it.

This thread has been closed and is continued in this new thread here:
Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1
Please click on that link.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's use this thread to list BlackBerry10 OS feature requests. There's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.

Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
Single key press to change profiles.
Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)

Customize email signatures with formatting.
Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
More Options for Clock.
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: Better handling of accents

Hi everyone,
Since the "Provide iTunes feedback" menu item in iTunes itself only allows you to request music from the iTMS, I'm going to post my feature request for iTunes here, and hope that Apple picks up on it.
For most of the English-speaking world, accented characters (e.g.: é, à, â, ö, etc...) are never used, but for someone like me who speaks French or someone who has international music, it's an important part of using your computer.
So, here are two suggestions on how iTunes could handle accented characters more gracefully:
1. Don't be so aggressive in the auto-complete behaviour! iTunes will routinely disregard capitalisation and accents in order to "fuzzy-match" the auto-complete.
For instance, suppose I have an artist in my library named "Stephanie McKay", and I want to add another artist named "Stéphane Pompougnac". Here is how the auto-complete would look at six different stages (iTunes' suggestions are in square brakets):
1. St[ephanie McKay]
2. Ste[phanie McKay] iTunes replaces the é I just typed with a normal, unaccented e
3. Stephan[ie McKay]
4. Stephane iTunes doesn't have any suggestions to make at this point
5. Stephane Pompougnac I've typed in the complete name, and now I have to return to put the accent on the first e
6. Stéphane Pompougnac
In this case, the 'é' should've stuck as of step 2 and iTunes should've not had any suggestions to make since nothing else in my library starts with 'Sté'.
2. As far as searches go, the same is partially true, but with one caveat. If I'm searching for "Stéph", I should only get one result back, "Stéphane Pompougnac".
On the other hand, if I'm searching for "Steph", I think there's a possibility that I was too lazy to type the accent or I didn't know if/where there was an accent, and so I should get both results back: "Stéphane Pompougnac" and "Stephanie McKay".
The same is true of other accented characters (é, à, ö, ô, and even ç). I don't know how languages other than French and Spanish deal with characters that look alike (e.g. ø and o) or that represent the same thing, but if there is a relationship, I suppose the same behaviour should apply there.
Cheers,

Hi Brad,
Thanks a lot for pointing this out. We have verified this. We are looking into this issue and would try to incorporate the fix in future releases.

Feature Request: Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence? I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature. The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it. But the benefit is entirely lost on me.
In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else. I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere. Note: Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two. Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence).
Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep. But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc). Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point. After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit. If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit. And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance. This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline! It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
Does anyone else feel the same? If not, what is your workflow?
Feature Summary: Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature.

Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement and use of a 3rd party application that runs you into an issue.
Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else. Find footage in the Media Browser. Import it. Create a Sequence and start editing. Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline.
At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline. The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip. This works, but requires many steps per clip. Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable.
Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio. Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate. This is not something Pluraleyes imposes. It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines. This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track." Ideal? No. I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work. Period.

Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1

So, with 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 now officially released on the Passport and Classic, let's look forward!
What feature request(s) would you like to see included in future updates, say OS10.3.2 and beyond? Of course, there's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
Please post your feature request below, and let's make sure BlackBerry has a good reference point for user-input on what we'd like to see.
Let's simple short statements AND please add the value of your request (i.e., why that feature request has value to you):
Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
Implement a shutdown confirmation screen to the top edge power key before shutting down (many pocket carrying users complain of device shutdowns in their pocket).
Allow BlackBerry Protect to automatically backup and restore personal data, such as contacts (I trust BlackBerry to protect our data and other third party apps can do this already).
**This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
So, what would YOU like to see beyond 10.3.1?
1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.

Cool! I was waiting for this, there are a few things I would like to see.
OS
- No frames option (for the people that want this), this means that you swipe up it will never go to a active frame
- Keep swiping to close, when you keep swiping up it will close the app/frame (like on playbook I think it was)
- Auto reboot, choose a day, time when your phone restarts (and unlocks after reboot) this is nice for people that want their phone to reboot when they sleep so they have a fresh start and don't have to reboot during work day
- Alternative keyboard, everyone knows the BlackBerry keyboard is awesome.. but allow developers to create own keyboards (native, no android port)
- Themes, One reason why people jailbreak iPhone or use Android or loved BBOS. Themes that will totally transform your phone, keyboard, colours will be nice for people that want to customize their device
- Font type change, this was possible in BBOS. Some people like to have a different font.
- Completely light OS, this is something personal; some people like dark theme, some people like light.. but with the latest BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 it is still mixed up, some parts are light some parts are dark. When selecting light theme everything should be light, all core apps, buttons, everything, when you select dark everything will be dark, and then there will be a customize option where you can set it for each app (core apps and layout) how you want it
- Show date, time, signal always on top-option, Remember.. screenshots on internet are shown a lot, when posting a screenshot of a BlackBerry 10 app nobody knows its BlackBerry, with BBOS you always had time, signal, on top people knew it was a BlackBerry and would be nice to get this back, plus no need for swiping up to see the time
E-mail
- Able to create filters, example move e-mails from this person to this folder, and give them this colour or move everything with this word in header or subject and delete it forward it and more.
- "Out of Office", able to set out of office for work emails / accounts as automatic reply
Hub
- More colours, now there are only a few
Keyboard
- Emoij button on the keyboard (including special characters)
LED
- More led colours and settings
Cloud, Sync and backup
- Create backup from your device instead of BlackBerry link and backup them to any cloud storage (or blackberry cloud)
- Sync bookmarks and settings with your BlackBerry ID
- Sync remember with your BlackBerry ID
- Sync Wi-Fi networks and passwords with your BlackBerry ID
- BlackBerry Cloud storage (5 or 10GB free and pay for more?)
Blend
- Webblend access your phone from a secure BlackBerry website so you don't have to install any program on a computer you maybe will only use for one day.
BBM
- Multiply login, access BBM on more devices (including a web version) at the same time
- PIN transfer, take your BlackBerry PIN to your new device. I really liked my old BB pin but when I sold the device I lost it, it would be nice to be able to "keep" my BBM pin or get a personal pin
- Add user my phone number if linked, BBM Pin is awesome but allow users to also add people with phone number so you can give your phone number or pin If my contacts get BBM but forget to give their pin they will just show because I have their phone number
Device
*nothing yet*
