Feature request: Repeat slide

Short version:
You can make a button or click box go to the previous slide,
next slide or jump to any slide but not _repeat_ the slide. I find
that to be a limitation.
Long version:
After every slide I want the user to interact.
I therefore want to add a button after each slides with the
text "Continue", but I also want the possibility to let the user
"Repeat" the current slide.
One option would be to tell the user to use the transport bar
and click next slide and then previous slide, but that seems very
stupid.
So my current (bad) work around is to insert a short slide
after the current one with the buttons "Continue" and "Repeat"
where the latter actually goes to the previous slide. But apart
from a lot of unnecessary slides it means the continue button can
not show until the previous slide is finished (normally i also
remove the transport bar so there is no next slide button there
either).
Will this function be added in Captivate 4.0 (and can I take
credit for it? ;) or is there another, better solution to my
problem?
Kind Regards,
Dennis

well, it would appear the way for captivate to incorporate
what you describe is when you select 'go to previous slide', you
would then, as the developer be prompted to set 'clear input
fields' or 'allow data to remain'.

Feature request: Repeat Alert for Calendar

At some apps you are able to set "Repeat Alert", for example: 1 time, 2 times, etc.
But not for the "Calendar".
I have meetings and I don't want to miss them.
But now there is no possibility to have the alert until I push the home button or slide to stop...
How can I address it to Apple?
Thank you!

As I can see for example here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2295319?start=0&tstart=0

FEATURE REQUEST: repeat last command

Hi to all!
many times you need to repeat the last command, example: in the Table, if you need add 5 row between two rows, with mouse you must repeat five times "Add row..". This is very very AND very boring!
Please, "remember" to insert this feature.
Regards..

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Definitely follow Niel's advice & leave feedback for the Pages team. In the meantime, did you know that you can insert multiple rows or columns at a time? Select the number of existing rows that equal how many you want to add & then right-click or use the Edit menu & choose add rows (above or below). Same applies for columns. This picture is from numbers, but tables in Pages work the same way.

Top Five Feature Requests for vs. 1.1

I love my ATV and it's working pretty well - Clearly there are hundreds features we could use - and want - apparently ANYtime we can expect vs 1.1 (will that be automatic? or do we have to manually stab for it)
Curious as to YOUR top 5 ATV software - "we need it now" feature requests...
Mine?
1. Video playlists
2. 720p content from the ITS
3. independant music select for different photo slide shows.
4. smother fast forward rewind - (if this remote can even deal with that)
5. Separate main menu section for music videos - (like movies, tv shows, etc) - They seem the odd child mixed in with the audio files)

Rental content!
I'm not one to buy movies/tv-shows. I watch something once, and on very rare occasion twice. If Apple wants more money, they need to figure out how to offer a rental option.
Let me rent a movie for $2 and have 48 hours to watch it from the time I start to watch it (kind of like the failed DIVX when DVD players were new to the market). This way I can start watching it, rewind, pause until the next day (hey, sometimes you get that unexpected phone call and have to stop your movie).
People who want to own a movie will see the value in paying $10 for some movie, and Apple will pick up plenty of revenue from people like me paying $1.99 a pop to rent a movie, cause we aren't buying now, nor ever will.
Renting TV shows could be nice, great way to try out a series you missed. Do something like $0.79+or- to rent an episode of show. Maybe you heard some episode of South Park was hilarious, you missed it, and it won't be repeated until who knows when, but you have no desire to "own" it for $1.99. Cough up 79 cents and you could watch it.
I think there is pent-up demand for something like this, and Apple/Movie-studios could make quite a bit of money by fulfilling this demand.

Delivering on your top feature requests!

Dear Adobe EchoSign community --
As Fall starts to settle in, [at least in the Northern Hemisphere], I wanted to share progress we've made on your feature requests. As context, our team sits down weekly to review your top feature requests that come from our community sites, our support, and our 1:1 conversations. Year to date, we've already delivered more than 80 of your top feature requests: Enterprise administration, API flexibility, improvements to our fields and more.
A partial list of the most-requested features delivered include:
Refreshed and new clients for Android and iOS
New sign-only role : control who has signing privileges, and who can send agreements
Batch user creation: enable/disable accounts
Ability to update & edit your published widgets
Advanced data retention policies and configuration
Field alignment & form field sizing during form authoring
Text Tags for creating hyperlinks in documents
Specify text color, font and font size for form fields through text tags
Repeat fields at the same location with the document via text tags and form authoring
EchoSign signature stamps on documents through text tags and form authoring

We have more to here.... we know! So keep the feedback and ideas coming. And thank you for your engagement and use of Adobe EchoSign. Hope to see you at Dreamforce '14.
-- Jon "JP" Perera

Evita,
Yes, you can still vote on Accepted. (You can even vote for "Scheduled for release...", because sometimes we need to move features from one release to the next)
Accepted means that it sounds feasible to do and we can do it, but "when" has not been established. Please add votes to help that decision.
Rejected Just that, we have no plans to do this. I don't revisit rejected on the Exchange.
(However, some features that have been rejected have been discussed on the forum and we've reconsidered. We have also changed "rejected" to "accepted" on previous occasions, but only based on discussions here. Some features rejected have very poor explanations as to the problem users are trying to solve)
Open We haven't read them or made any decision on them.
Awaiting Community Votes means just that. Someone has proposed a feature and no-one else seems to be interested.With the long list of features, we do need to prioritize and some features requested are obscure, so we want more feedback from the community. More votes and feedback from the community helps. We sometimes get 10 points from some folk and zero from others for the same feature.
Please note that except for the Open features, the others we have touched and added feedback.
Problems I have with the feature requests is lack of clarity in the request and more than one request described in a single request. The extra features get lost and others can't vote on them.

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.

NMT - Thoughts, Feature Requests & a Question - No...

After using Nokia Multimedia Transfer for over a day now with my N97 I am very happy with the software, it's a very good piece of software that looks at home on a Mac. I initially had problems with my mp3 collection not having embedded album artwork (this is the fault of iTunes not NMT) but have solved this by converting my mp3 collection to AAC (iTunes plus) and now have embedded album art.
The image transfer works but it just dumps all of the transferred images into an iPhoto structure that is not visible by the phone and as a result all of the images appear in the download folder of the image browser. This is not very practical when you have a lot of photos and it would be nice if NMT could duplicate the organisation of images in iPhoto (ie events, albums and folders). After all, you spend a lot of time organising your images in iPhoto and don't want to have manually repeat the process on your phone.
In another post I found a link to NMT feature requests that had been posted by a Nokia employee but I'm unable to find this link again. Does anybody have the link? If so could you post it to this topic?
The features I would like in NMT are:
The ability to duplicate the organisational structure in iPhoto (ie events, albums and folders)
Transfer of keywords/tags from iPhoto to the phone
Nokia, Great work on Nokia Multimedia Transfer!
Keep it coming for us Mac users (including an iSync plugin for the N97)
Nokia N97 (RM-507) v 22
iPhone 4 (Coming Soon) - Lemon N97 - SE - Nokia 8210 - Nokia 7710 - Nokia 5100

I am very agree with the most you talk.
But since the last update, the synchronization with iPhoto loose all the improvements done before with my N95.
1) The Delete after transfer do not work.
2) Photos deleted from the selected album in iPhoto, are not in the phone.
3) The phone never again is identified as a camera. And imports the files as a folder.
Any suggestion?

Five Feature Requests - Do you have more?

Forgive me if this isn't the appropriate place to post feature requests but I couldn't find anywhere else that seemed better.
I love Keynote.... I'm looking forward to the day when I can ditch PP for good. Here are some features that I think would really help Keynote become more powerful.
1. Export as faithfully as possible to PP. Motion paths, alpha channels, etc. We live in a mixed platform world and I hate seeing my presos butchered on export.
2. Include a "slide library" like we have in iPhoto and the new iMovie. Opening dozens of presentations to find a particular slide is a pain!
3. Give us a layer browser (ala PhotoShop) to make arranging object hierarchies easier
4. Let us apply Quartz image processing to objects/layers ( blur, distort, colorize, etc) and make those effects non-destructive and play in real-time if appropriate (eg, ripples, fading, etc).
5. Give us some alternative to "SmartArt". Being able to create structured diagrams easily with SmartArt is a HUGE time saver.
Thanks!

The best way to hide such a discussion such as this is to lead on from another established thread about a related matter. The worse way is to put "feature request" in the title. I listed ten or so features and got the thread pulled in 24hrs.
Against that, I feature requested (*Keynote Menu> Feedback...*) a feature similar to Magic Move (but less ambitious) last year and was pleasantly surprised to see MM in KN'09. Also noted KN'08 had very difficult Build>Move path construction tools that hid control points under other objects and now they stay active. Very subtle but effective improvements there. Not sure if it was listening, synchronicity or randomness but gives hope.

Feature Request: Apply effects to group of clip instances

I have been trying to supply this feature request into the Adobe feedback form. But it appeared that it was too large to be posted in a single feedback form. So I had to split it into three distinct feedback forms.
I don't want this feature request to get lost just because those three parts can't be joined back into a single feature request again. So I'd like to post it here, requesting for comments, too...
This feature request is about applying effects to more than one clip:
a)
Currently, when selecting more than one clip, it's not possible to change any effects settings. The Effects Settings windows only shows a "Multiple clips selected" message.
Thus, I'd like to suggest the following:
When selecting more than one clip, the Effects Settings window should display any effects that apply to all the selected clips. Moreover, only those effect parameter values should be displayed having the same value across all selected effects. This on the other hand, of course, can only be displayed for effect parameters not having key frames/timing activated.
Editing any of the displayed effects' parameters should apply the new value to each currently selected clip instance.
b)
Then again, when using key frame/timing activated effect parameters, it is currently not possible to apply such effect to more than a clip, too. To apply such animated effects to more than one clip it is currently necessary to nest those clips into a separate sequence.
Thus, I'd like to suggest the following improvement:
It should be possible to apply effects not only to clips but also to a group of clips (Menu Clip > Group).
Activating animation/key framing to any of the effect settings of those effects being assigned to a clip group (in contrast to those effects assigned to any clip instance contained in the the group) will allow to add key frames spanning all clips of the group.
This way it will be possible to easily create, e.g., a zoom effect spanning several clips.
If there are clips in-between those belonging to the group, the group's effects won't be applied to those clips not belonging to the group. However, the effects' parameter values are continued to be calculated in the background.
So this example would be true:
- Available clips:
| a | b | c | d | e |
- Clips grouped into a Clip Group:
| a |   | c |   | e |
- Zoom video effect applied to the group, having two key frames added:
Key frame #1 = beginning of clip | a |
Key frame #2 = end of clip | e |
Zoom value of key frame #1 = 100%
Zoom value of key frame #2 = 400%
--> So this will be the approximated calculated zoom value when the timeline reaches following points in time:
Beginning of clip | a |:     100%
End of clip       | a |:     132%
Beginning of clip | b |: (100%)
End of clip       | b |: (100%)
Beginning of clip | c |:     174%
End of clip       | c |:     230%
Beginning of clip | d |: (100%)
End of clip       | d |: (100%)
Beginning of clip | e |:     303%
End of clip       | e |:     400%
(Unfortunately, this forum doesn't allow me to apply any kind of formatting to the example above. So I can't apply a monospace font or colouring )
When a group gets ungrouped (Menu Clip > Ungroup), effects that had been applied to the group will be assigned to each individual clip of the group. For effect parameters that had key frames/animation activated, key frames will be created at the beginning and end of each of the clips. The previously calculated values will now be inserted at each automatically created key frame to mimic the grouped effect behaviour. This operation then would finalize the Ungroup operation involving clip group effects.
Regards,
Axel Dahmen

You could combine the Next/Previous Edit commands with either the Apply Video Transition shortcut or with a paste command if you had copied the transition you want.
OR... much easier if all you want is a bunch of consistent fade ins/fade outs...
On a single clip, keyframe opacity to create a fade in from the in point of the clip at the duration you like, e.g. 30 frames. Right click Opacity, and select Save Preset; give it a name, e.g. Fade In 30 Frames and set it to Anchor to In Point. Reset the effect and delete the keyframes, and then repeat this to create a fade out. Go to the out point of the clip, set keyframes, and once again, right-click Opacity and Save Preset; this time call it something like Fade Out 30 Frames and set it to Anchor to Out Point.
Now, you can simply select all of your clips in the sequence, and apply these presets by dragging them to the selection. Even though you created two presets, because you can only have one instance of Opacity on a clip, the keyframes from both presets will be added to that single effect. You have to do this with two presets--if you do it with one and use Scale, the keyframes will stretch out or compress to maintain a relative duration instead of an absolute duration.

Feature Request // Book Module: Export as indd file and management

Book Module: Export as indd file and management
I would like to request a feature to export a book module as indd file.
I like PDF's but .indd is nice also so we are able to to more in depth layouts.
Having Lightoom being able to manage all your pictures and book layouts would be nice, alot of things can be done in one application.
Another Feature: Using Lightoom as book layout management.
Being able to send a page(s) of the book from lightroom into InDesign to do indepth layout and editing, then being able to send it back into lightroom
Almost similar to how you can send a photo from LR in Photoshop to do indepth editing and then send it back into lightroom.
This could and will ease the workflow of book management and layout design. So lightroom will not only be able to manage photos, but also indesign and book layouts.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4238530#4238530

Why do repeat it here, as you have already filed a feature request for it?
BTW AFAIK this is already implemented: you can use Adobe Illustrator or InDesign or Opensource Scribus to edit layouts.
They are just not ready to publish how - another sign of the quality processes at Adobe.
But you do not send from the book module.
You create upfront layout templates, which you can import for use inside LR book module.
This is a one-way street.
The book module designers did not acknowledge a use case where you might want to fiddle the exact placement of really chosen images.
It is always you first design a template, then use it.
Love it or leave it - *change it* is not an option that Adobe seems to give to their beta testers.

RV320 and RV325 Feature Request

Hello Cisco Small Business Community.
We are a Cisco Select Partner and have started using RV320's and RV325's with our customers. As we are implementing these deployments, I have noticed there are a few features I would like to see added to the product. I've listed them below.
Urgently Needed Feature Requests:
1. Allow a subnet mask in the 255.255.0.0 range for LAN VLAN's. Many of our customers use a 10.x.x.x range for subnets and many use a 16 bit subnet mask to give them plenty of room to create both static and dynamic assignments. For example, subnet 10: 10.10.0.0/16 with a range of 10.10.10.1-254 for dhcp dynamic leases, and 10.10.0.1-254 for servers, and 10.10.1.1-254 for printers, and 10.10.2.1-254 for networking gear, etc. None of these networks have more than 254 devices on them, but the extra IP range availability is nice because it allows us to help keep their networks organized.
2. The ability to create service groups for firewall and NAT rule creation. There are often times when we need to group several services together and create firewall and NAT rules for them. This would simplify setup and implementation. An example of this feature on Cisco Small Business Products was on the ISA550.
3. The ability to have the RV320/325 to serve as the NTP server for the network. Most small business customers need NTP server functionality, and the logical place to stick this service for many of these networks is on the firewall.
4. The ability to specify any RFC DHCP option. We have some need to be able to specify several additional DHCP options than the ones hard coded into the firewall dhcp server pages. In addition to the options the DHCP servers on the RV320/325 already includes, the common ones that we often use are "Time Server," "Log Server," and "Time Offset."
6. The ability to specify a domain search list and for DHCP clients.
7. The option to register DHCP clients with the specified DNS server (including the on-box DNS Forwarder).
8. The ability to tweak Firewall Session Settings (like in the RV220w and ISA550) and TCP/UDP Timeouts. If full control is not an option, then may four choices such as: "Conservative" -- keeps TCP/UDP connections alive for the longest period of time, "Normal" -- normal TCP/UDP Timeouts, High Latency -- Keep TCP/UDP connections alive for a longer period of time.
9. Additional Diagnostic/status screen information: -- CPU usage for 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes, -- number of Firewall Sessions/States, --Firewall Temperature, -- Real Time and RRD based traffic graphs for 15 minutes, 4 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, and 1 week,
10. The ability to pull Firmware Updates directly from the Cisco support site onto the firewall.
Nice to Have Features:
1. VRRP on both WAN and LAN interfaces.
2. The ability to answer DNS helper requests. What I mean is to be able to set the on-box DHCP server up to serve as the DHCP server for non-connected subnets
3. SSH and Telnet command line access for basic troubleshooting (top, pftop, nbtstat, reboot, etc.)
4. The ability to backup and restore parts of the Config file, e.g. just the VPN setup or just the firewall rules
5. OSPF Dynamic Routing Support
With some of the advanced features, I wouldn't mind needing to buy a perpetual "advanced" license for an extra $50 to $100 (e.g. for VRRP, OSPF, SSH access, etc.).
I hope to hear some responses back from Cisco Product Support on these items.

Hello vreid47362,
I'm quite a bit surprised to see that we have both the same idea: provide our feedbacks to cisco to increase our product usage.
Here's mine list:
Custom services
- I was a bit surprised when I have seen for the first time the embedded services list : there is some that I'm sure that nobody use (HTTP and HTTPS secondary), and some usefull network protocols which are missing : NTP, NNTP, NFS, SAMBA, BONJOUR, SSDP, etc.
It could be interesting to start router with those embedded services.
- An option to select both the TCP and UDP services could be very usefull : for now, when we add a service, we have to specify protocol in the following list : TCP, UDP, IPV6.
If I wants to add a rule for NFS without take care of TCP and UDP, I have to set up :
- two custom services, one for UDP, one for TCP
- two custom rules, one for NFS TCP, one for NFS UDP.
If we have two networks or VLAN, we have to define 4 rules...
- Increase the custom service description length could be helpfull : for now it's a problem if we wants to add more than 11 characters.
- If we add a custom service by error, we are unable to remove the generated field : field say that it expect something. if we do not wants to loose previous fields set, we have to save it with false values, and delete after it. Just boring.
Setting up firewall rules for the first time
- The "View logs" button is located on the bottom of the log tab; if we wants to view logs, we have to scroll : it's very boring when we're setting up our rules : we have to go to the firewall tab, and if there is something wrong, we need to go to log tab and scroll.
If you add a shortcut to the log from the firewall rules tab could be very usefull.
Managing firewall rules on the time
- Be able to add a description of the rules defined could be helpfull : I've set all my rules now, but in few months when I'll come back to the interface, I'm not sure to understand all meaning. A description to explain the rule's object could be usefull.
- If we log something in the firewall logs and if we want to remove the a logging trace type, we have to pass on each rules we think it can log something. It could be interesting to view logging option from the grid: it'll help us to earn time.
- Be able to filter rules by VLAN, protocol, ports or the rule's logging state from the rules grid could be helpfull.
Double Wan management
- Add an autodetect feature for the available bandwith could be very helpfull : accoding with values detected, you can help to configure more easily the router
Double wan protocol binding and multiples VLAN
- When I set up the protocols binding configuration I'm was very boring to have to set up rules for all outgoing protocol rules a interface : for example, wants to set up all outgoing SMTP protocol on the WAN1 interface, we have to select SMTP and add 1.1.1.1 au 223.255.255.254. If we have multiples VLAN, we have to repeat this rule for each VLAN subnet mask…
Set up an option for all outgoing traffic could be very helpfull.
DHCP Subnet masks more than 255.255.255.x
Like vreid47362 said, I'm also interested in this feature: For now, subnet masks defined for the DHCP Vlan are provided from a preconfigured select box. If we wants to choose something other than those provided, we can't. It could be interesting to add own own subnet mask (like for example 255.255.0.0).
Kind regards
David

Feature Request - Options to Size & Align Type by Cap Height

I have repeated this feature request at least a couple or more times in this forum over the years. It's a pretty fundamental, basic design thing that bears repeating until the feature is incorporated somehow.
From its first version up to now Adobe Illustrator has only sized type according to the height of the Em Square. That's the standard convention for print and doesn't really need to change for print publishing. However the Em square methods are really pretty bad in other areas. Designers need pixel-level control for creating and positioning type on electronic, pixel-based screens. For large format printing, sign design and outdoor advertising designers need to size type by cap height in units of inches, centimeters or pixels when designing for LED variable message center signs.
Adobe Illustrator currently can't even do something as simple as accurately aligning lettering vertically inside of a box. When aligning by way of the Em square the type is never correctly aligned. The fundamentals needed for this have never been present in the application. It really stinks. Designers have to employ all sorts of time-wasting work-arounds to get the type looking correct. This makes basic tasks like button creation far more of a time wasting chore than it should be.
All fonts have built-in values that establish a capital letter height in numerical terms (the units between the base line and M height line). Industry specific sign design software applications like Flexi and Gerber Omega access that font data and allow designers to accurately size, align and position type according to its capital letter height. Adobe Illustrator can and should be able to do the very same thing. Not only that, but Illustrator could let designers size, position and align type in terms of inches, centimeters and pixels.
I'm not sure how this feature should be incorporated. Perhaps it could be something that users can enable in the document setup. Or it could be an optional type palette. Nevertheless, it is a badly needed, very basic feature rooted in the core of Adobe Illustrator's vector object editing purposes.

I'll also add this is a feature that should be carried over into Adobe Photoshop too.
Within Adobe Photoshop if you want to size type in terms of pixels the type is, again, sized according to the Em square. Unless you're setting type at pretty large pixel sizes the rendered type really ends up looking pretty bad. That's because the edge of the baseline and the edge of the cap height line are never aligned to the pixel grid. You end up with type that's fuzzy looking on all sides. If designers were able to tell Photoshop "make this lettering 20 pixels tall according to the capital letters" the lettering would looking a whole lot better. Perfectly crisp edges on the base lines and cap height lines.

Feature request: Slideshow module support for video files

I'm very excited about your MTS support!
Feature request: Slide show module support for video files...
Say you have 10 takes to choose from. Are you able to almost like SLIDESHOW view the 10 clips full screen so you can decide, like a playlist? Or rate them as they play? It would also be great, like SLIDESHOW to be able to export a MP4 with a title, the 10 clips you are working with, and maybe add an end title and a song, just like SLIDESHOW.
I have found editing stills like this in slideshow far faster than in any other editing program.
Basically, I just need a fast means to view or export an MP4 of a set of video clips to review. You are almost there.
great job!!!

I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

Feature request - Non-destructive export to Photoshop Touch

It would be pretty nice if we could export .idea files into Photoshop Touch as a layer (like a smart object in Illustrator/Photoshop) and link the file so any future edits would be reflected

Why do repeat it here, as you have already filed a feature request for it?
BTW AFAIK this is already implemented: you can use Adobe Illustrator or InDesign or Opensource Scribus to edit layouts.
They are just not ready to publish how - another sign of the quality processes at Adobe.
But you do not send from the book module.
You create upfront layout templates, which you can import for use inside LR book module.
This is a one-way street.
The book module designers did not acknowledge a use case where you might want to fiddle the exact placement of really chosen images.
It is always you first design a template, then use it.
Love it or leave it - *change it* is not an option that Adobe seems to give to their beta testers.

Nokia 5310 Alarm Feature Request/Improvement

Hi,
I started using the Alarm with my Nokia recently. As alarm tone i selected a song. Unfortunatly the alarm switches itself off after 1 min? Can this be changed. It quite annoying if you sleep deep and cant hear the alarm or want to keep listening to the song while waking up.
It would be nice to have the alarm keep running. Or even make it play a playlist.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not doable, the phone will just repeat the alert tone when snoozed.
