Feature request: Replaygain support for FLAC files

Hi guys,
When converting some of my mp3's to FLAC, I noticed that the REPLAY_GAIN_TRACK tags are not used by the Walkman app on my Z3C. It works perfectly for mp3 files though. This is a real obstacle for me as I do not like having to change the volume all the time when playing different kinds of music.
So my request would be to extend the replaygain support to FLAC files. I think anyone who uses FLAC files would consider that a very welcome addition, and it should be really easy to do!

No, the album art actually works for both mp3 and FLAC. What I'm referring to is the REPLAY_GAIN_TRACK tag that you can attach to your files (for mp3 you could use e.g. the program called mp3gain). This allows you to normalize the volume of each track to for instance 92dB. When you do this, you will find that each track plays at a pleasant loudness without having to change the volume all the time. Or to put it differently, if this tag is not supported (like for FLAC at the moment), then I'm listening to one track and when the next one starts it may be way louder or quieter, meaning I have to reach for my phone and change the volume. It really is a very nice feature to have, and since Sony has it working for mp3 it seems very easy to extend this support to FLAC as well.
Are you having issues with album art though? Perhaps I could help you then.

  • Feature request:  keymapping support for basic GVIM style editing

    Maybe this isn't the right forum, but it seems to be the only mechanism for providing
    feedback. I'm getting used to the workshop environment and like a lot of the
    features it provides. Tab completion of methods, parameter info, import automation
    are all very nice modern features. I come from a Unix background and cut my teeth
    coding on VI and GVIM off the command prompt. A feature that would really sell
    me on an IDE and many that I know, would be some support for VI keymappings.
    Once you are used to an editor that doesn't make you run to the mouse or the arrow
    keys every time you need to move the cursor, anything less feels slow and taxing.
    If basic support for "VI like" operation could be added, I think you'd find more
    people like myself willing to spend time in the IDE for its other features. GVIM
    offers a rich set of features, of which about 10 would suffice for most of what
    I do.
    1. insert/navigate modes so you can use ijkl instead of arrow keys.
    2. support for '/' as a search prompt as well as 'n' and 'N' to jump between
    findings.
    3. support for regular expressions on the search line
    4. support for regular expressions via a VI style substitute command {range}:s/search/replace/
    5. :w for write or "save"
    6. :e to open a file
    7. 'A' to jump to the end of a line and enter insert mode.
    8. 'D' to delete beyond the cursor to the end of the line.
    9. :line-number to jump to a line number.
    10. 'x' to delete a character and 2x for two etc...
    Okay, my list goes beyond ten if I continue, but if I could perform basic editing
    without having to go to the arrows or the mouse or a separate window of gvim,
    I'd be a happy customer.
    Thanks,
    Morgan

    Morgan,
    The engg team has confirmed that its a goal to support this in the next
    version.
    Thanks for the suggestion. Keep them coming!

    Worth noting, I just found viPlugin for Eclipse on Sourceforge.net.
    From
    the looks
    of the documentation, it will act as a layer on top of any JDT editor oran editor
    that extends ITextEditor, which might be an Eclipse class. Hope thathelps your
    development team.

  • [Feature Request] Better support for new buttons in JUNavigationBar

    In my project I use a home made sub-class of JUNavigationBar, which contains some new functionality apart from a new button as well. This button allows me to refresh the currently selected row.
    However, since I added this button though a simple this.add(), some of the functionality in JUNavigationBar may get confused.
    For example, when I have removed some of the standard buttons but left my own button in place (setHasXXX()), the component index (calculated in JToolBar) and the array index for the buttons in JUNavigationBar may not match. This occasionally causes an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
    In short, what I'm asking for, is a better way to manage buttons on JUNavigationBar. Even making the array of buttons and related methods and such protected in stead of private (so that my sub-class could handle it) would be a good start.

    Hi Arno,
    I had a similar issue with trying to create a Nav bar with dynamic content. My solution was to leave all the standard buttons in place and to use setVisible(x) to make them appear or not as required.
    BTW have you noticed that rollover behaviour isn't consistant ie works for FIRST/LAST etc but not for FIND/QUERY.
    Regards
    Andy

  • 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!!!
    Max

    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!

  • Add support for FLAC!

    Hi everyone,
    My wife bought me a 30GB iPod for Christmas, what a present! Absolutely love my new gadget! I've gotten used to allowing iTunes manage my music collection and its an impressive application! There is one thing I'd like to see added to the next version of iTunes and its support for FLAC. I would like iTunes to support on the fly encoding from FLAC into whatever bitrate I need. But also, critically, is song ratings being associated with the FLAC files so when I set a rating of a song from my iPod, it'll be syned back to the FLAC file during teh next sync operation.
    Pardon me if this isnt the correct place to leave this feature request! I guess this might also be useful or MAC users as well???
    Happy new year,
    John.

    Two things:
    1) iPod and iTunes already support one loseless format -- the Apple Lossless Encoder. Perhaps you can transcode; you won't lose music quality, obviously.
    2) This isn't the correct place for feature requests, but this is:

  • Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?

    Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?
    This is nuts!

    You are not alone.
    Actions speak louder than words, but Apple does manage to still distract many from what is self evident before them.
    I am astonished by those who swear that non-existent features, or features that pre-exist the current version make Pages 5.2 a major upgrade.
    An affect that does seem to wear off with familiarity, as each version of Pages 5 gets a boost in the App Store, only to see the disapproval rating surge back again.
    Pages was always one of the top purchases in the App Store, now it doesn't even rate.

  • Feature Request: iTunes support CD drive letters A&B

    Not sure how to submit this feature request to Apple for iTunes for Windows enhancement so I figured I would start at the forum.
    I know in the "dark ages" drive letters A&B where pretty much reserved for floppy drives. Not sure how many computers are actually still in use running Windows XP and up that still have one of those drives.
    Therefore, for some time now these two drive letters have gone unused. C: in general was the first HD letter, and CD-Roms (or now DVD/Blu-Ray) drives started somewhere with D: and above depending on your computer configuration.
    I changed my setup a while ago and named my two DVD drives A & B since Windows supports it just fine, as do a lot of other programs, with the exception of iTunes :-(. For some reason, iTunes will not support reading CDs from drives A or B, even if Windows autorun feature is enabled asking if it should import the CD into iTunes. Apple, what's up with that? Why actual restrict reading music from CD drives assigned letters A & B? Is this an old piece of code still lingering around in iTunes?
    So, simple feature request for an upcoming iTunes release, please enable reading/important CD music from drives labeled A&B so that we can start using these letters again as well.
    Anybody else want to support this simple request that should be fairly easy for Apple to implement?

    We're a user-to-user community, so there's no guarantee that an Apple person will see your request. But you can make enhancement requests directly to the Apple folks if you like. Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

  • How to add support for new file type.

    Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
    I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
    I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
    Thank you

    Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
    Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
    CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
    LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
    I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
    At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

  • Selective XML Index feature is not supported for the current database version , SQL Server Extended Events , Optimizing Reading from XML column datatype

    Team , Thanks for looking into this  ..
    As a last resort on  optimizing my stored procedure ( Below ) i wanted to create a Selective XML index  ( Normal XML indexes doesn't seem to be improving performance as needed ) but i keep getting this error within my stored proc . Selective XML

  • OS X support for offline files

    Dear all,
    I have a mixed environment of workstations running both OS X and Windows that connect to file shares hosted on Windows file servers.  In order to be able to manage the storage space effectively, tape based archiving was implemented using Symantec's Enterprise Vault for File System Archiving.  EV and many other archiving solutions use the Windows Offline file attribute to mark a file that has been archived off and install a filter driver into Windows so that archived files can be recalled directly from Windows Explorer without requiring additional software (this is also known as a reparse point).  Please note that this is different from how Microsoft intended offline files to be used for synchronising between a roaming laptop and a network share (see KB 312717).
    OS X does not have any support for offline files natively, both for how Microsoft intended it to be used and for use with archiving software as a reparse point.  There are a couple of offerings on the market which add the required functionality to OS X, but recent updates to OS X have rendered these offerings non-functional:
    10.6.7 - I understand that Apple replaced the SMB/CIFS modules with their own code.  At this point, it no longer became possible to recall archived files using said software offerings, when connecting to a Windows file server via SMB.  See Apple bug ID 10836961.
    10.7.4 - a kernel update is included which means said software offerings are now not able to block the icon preview in Finder.  The icon preview in Finder causes archived material to be recalled which we do not want it to do (imagine the problem when using tape as the archiving platform - this will cause a huge recall job on the tape drives)
    This is going to cause significant difficulties as it effectively means that we can't use archiving with OS X to manage our storage costs. 
    I'm writing this as I'm hoping that someone will know of a product or solution that is able to work around the 2 difficulties noted above, or that someone from Apple is going to read this and realise that this is a serious problem.  The ideal that is required is to add support for the offline files, in particular reparse points, directly into OS X.
    Many thanks.
    A frustrated storage engineer.

    Hi Richard,
    We are looking at file archiving here and have the same potential issues. We haven't evaluated this product, but it claims to solve the problem:

  • Color space support for png files

    kindly suggesting :
    color space support for png files, requiring the support (read/write) of the chunks: iCCP, cHRM, gAMA, sRGB

    Hi ChrisT,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I went to:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4148...
    Which is the software update page for my model. I see 10 items under Software Solutions, 8 of which are just video tutorial updates, not actual application updates (and none of those are for the Photo App). The two application updates are:
    HP TouchSmart Recipe Box Application Update
    HP Support Assistant Application Update
    So, are you saying that PNG file types are supported in some versions of the Photo App and I don't have the correct version? Or in other words, what am I missing?
    Cheers,
    D

  • Support for Growing files (DNxHD wrapped in MXF) from EVS in Premiere Pro?

    We are using Premiere CC Pro on the Mac-plattform against a shared storage soulution. We need to be able to open growing files from an EVS system to edit soccer-highlights while the matches are still playing. The problem is that the codec is DNxHD 120 and the wrapper is MXF op1a. This works fine with a QT-wrapper, but not with a MXF-wrapper. It is not possible for us the change the wrapper on the EVS system, so we need to do something on the editing side. We have tested it, and confirmed that this works fine in Final Cut Pro and Avid, but we want to use Premiere Pro. Can you provide us with a solution? Please do not say that the solution is to use FCP... ;-) Thanks in advance for all help!

    Hi Peter!
    Latest version. Cc 2014 with all updates.
    Mac OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite.
    Error during opening. As soon as the file is closed, it opens fine.

  • Please add support for MXF files created by Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio

    We have a Hyperdeck Studio that records DNxHD220 files in a MXF wrapper. Right now it is not possible to import them into Premiere CS5.5.
    It would be great if Adobe would add support for those files.
