Feature Request: Slideshow and Light table

Hello
I was hoping for two features in the next Lightroom:
First a more professional audio-slideshow option. More parallel soundtracks possible on a timeline are a must I think. More editing tools for timing the slides and the audio as well. And the possibility to add video files would be good. Nowadays multimedia slideshows are getting more and more important in photo-journalism and I am afraid Lightroom is getting a little behind on that part. Since the slideshow option has its own separate panel in Lightroom, it might as well be a good one...
Last week I saw the new Aperture 3. Although it is not perfect yet either (the main track is not editable), I really do think they got it right with their slideshow options ...
Second, I would like to see a Light table (again like in Aperture) to quickly view/arrange a selection of pictures manually in the field. See what pictures work well together in a story/magazine and what pictures are still needed ...
The current Survey view doesn't let me arrange the pictures manually. It starts moving pictures around without me being able to influence it.
Kind regards
Johannes Abeling

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!

Book, Web Gallery and Light Table Not Working

When I try to create a new book or open an old one the design window does not open. Cannot get to the light table and other features as well.
Where did they all go?

This sounds odd. Did you try quitting and relaunching? You might delete the .plist in the Preferences and rebuild the database (Option>CMD on launch).

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!!!

Feature Request: Export and Import all or part of vCenter configuration from the GUI

One of the challenges we face is how to recover a large vCenter to a different VM, without having to restore any databases or use vCenter VMs and databases on replicated storage. We currently have a PowerCLI based process for exporting vCenter configurations - vCenter settings, roles/privs, alarm definitions, datacenters/clusters/hosts - to an XML file, which can then be used to import that vCenter configuration into a recovery vCenter. Three part process - export the vCenter configuration, import the settings and structure (datacenters, clusters, alarms), then import the hosts. This last step pulls in the hosts once by one from the original vCenter, complete with their running VMs and once all hosts in a cluster are imported creates the required Resource Pools and moves the VMs in to them. A subsequent script moves all the VMs into appropriate blue folders based on their CMDB classification/OS.
The above process is OK, but has a number of faults:
It's all or nothing for a migration, unless there is some serious editing of the XML dump to extract, for example, a specific datacenter or cluster, which could if incorrectly done result in configuration issues, hosts not being imported, etc.
It can't (at least not in vc4.x) migrate dvSwitches. If we have those in a datacenter, we're going to have to reconfigure the hosts and VMs back onto conventional vSwitches
We'd really like to see a native tool built in to vSphere Client or the Web Client that will allow all or part of a vCenter configuration to be exported to an XML or other flat file and then imported into another vCenter in one easy step, taking running VMs, dvSwitches - the lot. In the same way you can export host and vCenter logs with a few clicks, it should be possible to do something similar for vCenter configurations. This would be useful for a number of things - vCenter recovery, vCenter upgrade, individual datacenter or cluster migration.

Feature request: current and updated versions in pacman -Su

I think it'd be really nice to have an option to display both the current installed and new upgraded version of packages when running pacman -Su
I often find myself wondering "how different" are the changes- is it a rev release? A major version upgrade? I don't really want to do that with 50 packages every week, but if it were easy I'd like to know that.
Instead of:
Targets (50): alsa-utils-1.0.23-3 tzdata-2010o-1 glibc-2.12.1-4 coreutils-8.7-1 db-5.1.19-3 heimdal-1.3.3-3 libcups-1.4.5-1 cups-1.4.5-1 glib2-2.26.1-1

Do:
Targets (50):
alsa-utils-1.0.23-2 to alsa-utils-1.0.23-3
tzdata-2010o to tzdata-2010o-1
glibc-2.12.1-3 to glibc-2.12.1-4
and so forth.

Uhh, but this is not already clearly? I follow this:
if (rev > 1):
revision bump
else if (rev == 1):
version bump
for example "foo 1.2.33-4" means that the previous version is "foo 1.2.33-3". and "bar 4.3-1" meant that the previous version is "bar 4.2-n"
This only break when a 4.3-1 is quickly followed by a 4.3-2, but the solutions is clearly, update more frequently than the devs solve a break in rev 1 =].
This too don't work when 4.2-n is followed by a 4.4-1, but if this is so probably the 4.3 can be ignored.
Updating more frequently than a week make all this works, as you get all the version and revisions (including the bogus ones).
When I update I always scan for -1, so I know that a version update happened. Of course I read the mailing list too.

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.
2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!
3. Install free BlackBerry Protect today for backups of contacts and data.

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

Light table View error

when i swith from navigator view to lighttable view I get a error message that flashes causing the screen to flicker. I can only get out force quitting.
any ideas on the error? i'm getting on a few different presentations.
I'm on Keynote 5.1 with OS x 10.6.8

The same problem is happening to me in Keynote '09 v. 5.1. The Light Table view triggered a crash and I lost a lot of work. Shame on me for not hitting Command-S regularly to save along the way.
It might have something to do with fonts and/or formatting with shadows. I had some text that had shadows behind it, without the shadow feature being clicked in Inspector. Then when I clicked the feature in Inspector, I got a double-strength shadow. Maybe this was an error, and light table couldn't resolve it, so it chose to crash. Right now I am missing my Windows AutoRecover feature.

Feature Request: Add multiple photos to catalog at once

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

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

Feature Request: Add Catalog ID to Catalog Object

To support plugins that need to know which catalog they're working on...
Actually, if catalog:getPropertyForPlugin was working, one could roll their own ID, but it would still not be visible to sibling plugins...
Thanks,

Premiere Pro CC Feature Request: add multiple Markers at defined times

I'm about to post a feature request and wanted to check to see if anyone else was interested, as I've read that forum support can help to get feature requests added - and also just in case this feature already exists, and I've missed it in my Googling...!
Here's the request:
Brief title for your desired feature:
Option to add multiple Markers to a timeline at defined times
How would you like the feature to work?
It would be great to have an option in the Markers drop-down menu or to be able to right-click on the Marker icon in the timeline and be able to choose "Add Multiple Markers at xxx minutes/seconds/frames".
Why is this feature important to you?
I often end up creating a lot of montages, and it would be great to be able to use this feature to drop a Marker (for example) every three seconds in my timeline so that I can then add a bundle of clips using Automate to Sequence. At the moment, I do this by clicking on the Playhead Position hot text and typing in 00:03, 00:06, 00:09, etc, and dropping a Marker at each point, and this feature would speed things up a bit. I've also been asked by students if this feature is available as well.
If anyone else would be interested in this request, please let me know...!
Thanks

Yes, that's true, when using my method described above, Prem adds each clip from the first frame and cuts it off when it reaches the next Marker, then I use the Slip tool to get them to the bit I like. I'd just like to remove the step of typing the time into the Playhead Position counter by dropping Markers at set intervals or by choosing to use the first xx seconds in the Automate to Sequence dialogue. Either way, the request is in now, but it doesn't look like it'll gain a lot of traction...!
Cheers for the responses, Jim.

A few feature requests and problems

This mail is going to have several requests for improvement on the Oracle Help for Java platform. Lest anybody think I'm just complaining, let me say that in general I have been very happy with OHJ. We (ANSYS, Inc: http://www.ansys.com) use it as the online help system for a series of engineering simulation software products which we have been developing and marketing for over twenty years. We support about a dozen platforms and have a very large documentation set and OHJ is the only online help system we have encountered that gives us reasonable performance and the features we need. So far as we can tell, it is the best cross-platform online help system available.
That said, we have encountered a few minor problems which we would like to have addressed. I have already tried sending this to the support email address ([email protected], or something like that), but the mail is always returned with a message about internal lists not being available to outside users. (Another user complained about this in a prior thread)
1) We have two applications which run in tandem and access the same instance of OHJ. The documentation is contained in two different helpsets, and we want to keep the helpsets separate to the user, so we have set the combineBooks parameter to "false." When the user requests help, however, the Table of Contents pane is not updated to match the helpset in which they requested help. Could the showTopic(Book book, java.lang.String topicID) method be modified to call the showNavigatorWindow(Book activeBook) method if necessary? (i.e. if the navigator window is currently visible and set to a different book object)
2) Similarly, could the NavigatorWindow be updated if we follow a hyperlink into another book?
3) On the Windows platform, the Help window doesn't come to the top / gain focus when the user requests help for the first time
4) When using "dockedByDefault", the control over window size and position we had with the <wintype> tag is lost. That is, when docked, the window (navigator + content) always comes up in a fixed pixel by pixel dimension at the center of the screen. I use a high resolution screen, and the result is that I always have to resize the help window to read the content. I expect that some of our users will have similar high resolution screens. (we cater to the world of CAD). Could we have more control over the window size in docked mode, or at least have the default size relative to screen resolution in the same way we could set the wintype to 60% width and 60% height to fill a good portion of the user's screen?
5) Have the OHJ developers (or anyone else) looked closely at memory usage? I'm using up to 70MB of RAM for a run of the help system, and I'm just waiting for users' complaints on that one. I realize this is a trade-off that you often have to simply accept with Java-based technologies, and I'm not all that upset about it. However, if we could gain the user 10 or 20 more MB of RAM, that would be something.
6) Is there any way to combine some books and not others? (This is really grasping at straws. Feel free to simply say "no, and there never will be")
7) The documentation refers to the capability of customizing the toolbar for different wintypes. I haven't been able to do this for the default wintype.
The remaining few problems have to do with printing. These are really trivial issues from my point of view, as our official policy is that we don't support printing from the help system. (We provide PDF's of the manuals for people wanting hardcopy) However, they would still be nice to fix:
1) Printed hyperlink text often overlaps neighboring text
2) Ignoring background color when printing requires that we use media rules in our CSS. Could you ignore the background by default when printing?
3) In our Table of Contents, we have tree nodes that point to subheadings in a file, so it ends up that a single file will have multiple entries in the Table of Contents. When using the "Print Topics" feature, the entire file is printed for each of these nodes. Could the Print Topics feature keep track of which HTML files it prints, and print each one only once?
Again, I apologize for the many complaints (really suggestions) raised in this single post. These have been building up for a while, but between the previous state of this mailing list (completely overrun by people wanting general Java information) and the mail server errors at the only e-mail address I could find, this list just kept growing, based on our internal usage and testing. The truth is, I am very satisfied with OHJ, and am happy to find a cross-platform help system other than Sun's JavaHelp (which was way too slow for us last time I checked). Please consider this a detailed field test of OHJ 4.1.12.
Thanks for any help and attention to these concerns,
Jeff Beal
Documentation Tools Specialist
Ansys, Inc.

Wow, that's a lot! I have tried to answer all of your concerns. Here goes!
Problems with the mailing list
We're working on restoring the ability to send messages to our mailing list for external users. We'll post on this forum after we get that working again. Sorry about that.
1 and 2) Automatic switching of active book when showing topic
OHJ does not (by design) automatically switch the active book when a topic is displayed, whether it is from a CSH request or by following a link.
3) Help doesn't come to top
I cant reproduce this with OHJ 4.1.12 on Windows 2000. What OHJ and OS versions are you running? What options are you using on your Help object? Can you post some way to reproduce it?
4) dockedByDefault causes OHJ to ignore wintypes size
I reproduced the fact that OHJ ignores the wintypes size parameters when dockedByDefault is set to true. I have filed this as a bug; the height and width parameters should set the size of the content pane even if docked by default. The location parameters, on the other hand, are not supported when dockedByDefault.
5) Have the OHJ developers (or anyone else) looked closely at memory usage?
We certainly have looked closely at memory usage, but unfortunately this is not a problem with easy answers! :) Partially its due to the overhead Java imposes, and partially its a function of the size of your help contents metadata the number of entries you have in your keyword indices, TOCs, and (to a lesser degree) topic maps. So, the more you can remove entries from these files, the smaller OHJs memory footprint will be. (Note that you can have as many HTML files as you like; these dont stay in memory!)
6) Is there any way to combine some books and not others?
Sure. To combine books a.hs, b.hs and c.hs, you can create a master help set (master.hs) with these contents:
<helpset>
   . . . various helpset parameters here . . .
   <subhelpset location="a.hs" />
   <subhelpset location="b.hs" />
   <subhelpset location="c.hs" />
</helpset>Then instead of loading the books individually, just load master.hs.
See the docs for subhelpset in the Oracle Help guide at http://otn.oracle.com/ohguide/help.
7) Customizing the toolbar
Though we have documented syntax to support customizing the toolbar for a window type, OHJ does not currently implement this.
printing 1) Printed hyperlink text often overlaps neighboring text
This is an ICE problem, and we are waiting on a fix from them. Sorry about that. Out of curiosity, have you tried it on various printers/OSs/JDKs? Weve found some work better than others. Id be curious whether JDK 1.4 was any better.
printing 2) Ignoring background color when printing
You can disable printing background colors by doing the following in your code:
System.setProperty("ice.pilots.html4.printBackground", "false");
printing 3) Printing multiple copies of topics in same HTML file
Yep, this is a bug, and it is logged.
Thanks for all your comments, and were glad that you like the product.

Create and Save a Photo Colllage from Light Table

Hi Everyone,
I want to create a montage of several photos that I can save as one .JPG or similar, then take and have printed as a large photo collage.
I have had limited success using Apertures Light Table feature, however cannot find a way to save the entire light table as a single image for printing.
Can anyone offer any advise on this, or perhaps suggest a different application that will do the job?
Best Regards
Darryn

If a PDF format works for you, then you can simply choose the light table, select FILE->PRINT LIGHT TABLE and in the window that pops up you can select SAVE AS PDF.
Then you can print that file...
Cheers,

Light tables and multiple items

I am trying to discover how to add an image to a light table more than once.
Both Apple's documentation and the Luna book say it's possible but I don't quite get the trick involved.

Ian,
Rather the other way around. I'm pretty sure I
remember dragging Versions onto a light table
multiple times before 1.5.
I did a clean install back to v1.1 to test this and it doesn't work there either. Either Long & Luna were confused and when they wrote that part of the book and mistook a feature of Aperture books where you can use an image more than once or they had advice from Apple about a feature that didn't get implemented.
I think the ability to have an image master or version appear in a single light table more than once would be a useful feature. I will use Aperture feedback to tell Apple this.
On a related note I called Apple Care tech support for the Aperture application and asked them: "How should the program work in this area?"
I wanted to see if what I was observing was the normal behavior.
The response I got from Tech support was so STUPID that I was astonished! The rep told me to first delete my plist file then export all my image masters and create a new library and reimport the masters. I told him that procedure would loose all of the metadata and adjustments Aperture contained for my 28,000 master files, throwing away 100's of hours of work. He said it was the only way to find out if I could add a image multiple times to a light table.
The rep didn't really seem to know much at all about Aperture and when I challenged him on this point he defended himself saying that he had to support all the pro apps and couldn't really know much about any of them. He concluded by saying that if I wanted to find out how the program was supposed to be working I would have to call tech support at Peachpit since they published the Long & Luna manual.
It was a very dissapointing response but I probably shouldn't have been too surprised. Non existent tech suppport is the norm for our times. I did expect Apple to do a bit better though.........

Feature Request: Lights Out Mode / tagging display.

Problem: "Lights out" mode hides tags - need to enable option to allow tags to be seen during lights out mode.
I love editing down photos to selects in lightroom, I love using the (L) LightsOut Mode to set the screen(s) to black.
however, when I do so, it hides tagging data as well. I would like an option (keyboard shortcut) to toggle the display of stars/flags/colors on and off.
Possible solutions:
Flags and stars are simple graphics that could appear over the image or beside/under it in tiny non distracting ways. colours could be the same or perhaps have the outer border turn to the selected colour.
ADDITIONALLY: I would love to see an option to "LIGHTS OUT" the second monitor indipendantly of the main. (this could be done in the second monitor drop down menu)

Some headphones sound just too **** loud when plugged in the headphone amp so line out is only option. However, while that works just fine for normal stereo music, it is not optimal solution for games because the HRTF is way less accurate.
So, how about adding "Headphone mode" tick box for line out (or "Use line out plug instead" tick box in headphone mode)? It would solve various issues and fix one of the most annoying problem with Z/Zx/ZxR cards right now. It should be rather simple (i.e. same settings as headphone out but different output plug) thing yet would make massive difference in usability.
Hi Anarion,
I have relayed your product feature request to the designated department.
Will keep you informed for any updates on this thread, fingers crossed!
