Feature request: smooth zooming in develop module

It would be very helpful if the develop module (especially) allowed viewing not just at 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 etc but also at every % in between.
This would make it far easier to properly evaluate the image at output size where you intend to upsize (or down sample) on output. For example, some of my stock libraries require a standard size which isn't the same as sensor size.
Is this a possibility for LR3?
Thanks,
David.

Doesn't catalog:getTargetPhoto () return just one photo, the active photo?
Yes, but the problem is that a develop-settings plugin (as example) should target all selected photos in grid view, but only most selected photo in loupe and develop modes - in order to be consistent with how Lightroom proper behaves, which is what most users expect. At present there is no way to do it - that I can see. Its not a big thing as long as the users understand what behavior to expect, and in fact I think I'll just put a checkbox for "all selected photos" vs. "most selected photo only" right on the interface which will make it clear and give either option regardless of display mode / module - I think this will be a super solution actually - thanks for helping me think of it .

Feature Request: Support for External Synths/Modules (via MIDI)

Hi,
I just posted a feature request (via the Apple Feature Request form) but also wanted to post here. I use a combination of hardware instruments (sound modules) and software instruments.
*My Setup*
- Keyboard #1: M-Audio Axiom 25 (also includes a USB MIDI interface)
- Keyboard #2: Roland A-33 Controller Keyboard (via my Axiom-25's MIDI In)
- Edirol USB MIDI Interface (sound modules plugged into MIDI Outs)
- Sound Module #1: Roland JV-1080
- Sound Module #2: Yamaha TX802
MainStage currently takes care of all my software instrument needs, however, what is missing is the ability to add external physical MIDI devices as either patches or as channel strips. I would like to use a combination of software and hardware instruments in the same song, and control this via Mainstage.
Example:
- Patch 1 could potentially contain 2 software instruments, each seperately controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently possible)
- Patch 2 could contain 1 software instrument and 1 external sound module each controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently impossible)
- Patch 3 could contain 2 external sound modules, mapped to different ports and/or channels, and therefore independantly controlled by my 2 keyboads (this is also currently impossible)
Would I be correct in assuming that this is a fairly common limitation of MainStage?

I have achieved MIDI out from Mainstage, thank to the information found on this forum..
what I actually do is send Prg Change from every preset I select to control a hardware vocal harmony pedal. this way i don't have to remember which setting i use on every song or even, section of a song.
*Step 1:*
Library>application support>Logic> create a folder named precisely MAINSTAGE CALLBACKS
inside of it, create an applescript with this code
on action(parameter)
set myprogramchange to programchangenumber of parameter
tell application "MidiPipe"
MIDISend toPort "MidiPipe AppleScript Input" withData {192, myprogramchange}
end tell
end action
*step 2*
download MIDIPIPE from http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/
and install it in your apps folder
*step 3*
start midipipe, and define the following modules
MIDI IN-> use applescript input from menu
MIDI OUT-> route to your midi interface desired output
save this to a Midipipe file you can easily access
Now, when I go to a gig I FIRST (this is important) load midipipe and my preset, and just hide it and let it work in the background
Start mainstage, and set the program change of every PATCH to what I want to be sent over MIDI OUT when I enter the preset (-1 if needed or modify the previous applescript).
Ok, this just gives you Prg change... if you want something like CC or others, you can look at some of the example files on midipipe, and write your own applescripts to be used from a control within mainstage (you know, select a screen control, and assign it to an applescript located in library>application suport>logic>Mainstage scripts. you have to tell the applescript to receive incoming data from mainstage and send it (with even some filtering or transforming) to midipipe to go to the outside world.
One last idea: i used a free plug-in called MIDIIO that, although the plugin analysis on mainstage might say does not pass, you can use it anyway, and lets you insert it as if it was a plugin instrument...then you just route your screen controller to a MIDI parameter on that track, and there you go...but in the past it was not as solid as the midipipe solution.
I am still investigating...I am pursuing having my hardware controller knobs to follow screen settings everytime I just change a patch, but lack some info on how to get parameter values when entering the patch ¿anyone knows, blueberry, zuelito...? I promise to share the results!

Video feature request for all the Develop settings to be applied to video output

I hope you are planning on allowing all processes in develope module to be applied to video. I was a bit surprised that all were not applied.
I know this opens up LR to a bigger playing field and would love to be able to use the tool with moving picture for color and processing. The editing is not so critical but a good round trip to prem pro would be awesome. with updates links like affter affects and audition have.

You can use just about any tools for the videos...
The confusing part is that those listed in Lib. mode are sugesting that the dev. mode counterparts arent working.
While they are...
You can apply just all the dev. tools to the video. Aside from brushes etc. SplitTone, Saturation, HSL, curves all working.
Syncing is slow... Do this:
1)Make your adjustments on a captured JPEG frame. The hit Shift+Command + C...
2)Exit Dev. Mode and enter Lib. Mode and select your video
3) Hit shift+command+v to paste the settings.
Much faster than using the sync mode or saving a preset.
It beats me why LR4 doesn't just capture an automatic frame of the footage (From whereever the playhead is) and the when we click Dev. mode just edit on that.
As of now we have to:
0) In Library Mode
1) Goto the Frame we need
2) Click Capture Frame
3) Select the captured frame
4) Switch to develop mode and make settings
5) Exit Develop mode and goto Library mode
6) Select video clip
7) Apply settings...
Even if adobe had strived for it, I dont think they could possible have complicated things any further. They'll get a grammy for this one ;-)
There is SO MUCH room in the library tab.... For ANY video clip... Just put the dev. settings right there for us to mess with. Why only put a few there
with crippled controls...
Why even have TWO MODES... What I hate in Lightroom and always have hated.. Is having to SWITCH from ONE window to the NEXT just to make adjustments with sliders that makes sense
instead of those crippled ones in Library Mode.
We have 2012, fast computers and faster minds. Why should we be crippled like this. Makes absolutely no sense.
Is Lightroom the best software around. IMO = YES.
But I sure hope that LIghtroom WONT be setting what we will come to know as a bar for standard. So much room for improvement. And there has been since V1.
Please --- This time.. Make the app easier to get around. I find myself clicking around MUCH more than I have to.

FEATURE REQUEST: Independently zoom page size and font size

Firefox lets me zoom the page in and out, which is great, but usually useless. The problem I usually have is that font is the right size, but the text doesn't all fit in the window. What Firefox needs is a way to independently zoom text and page size. Then, I could fit all of the text in the window without making the text microscopic. Here's how it would work: CTRL+- ZOOMS JUST THE PAGE SIZE. The text size would remain the same. CTRL-SHIFT+- ZOOMS JUST THE TEXT. The page size would remain the same.
I know this is possible. The fact that Firefox can zoom the text only without affecting the page size is evidence of that. Firefox is always looking for good ideas that have never been done before. Well, this is one of them. Do it, and we would love you all forever!

Web pages with a fixed width layout will always be a problem for any zoom feature. Assuming Firefox wants to adjust the layout so it can't exceed the width of the window, should it just do a proportional adjustment of widths or try to keep sidebars the same while reducing a main area, or wrap a sidebar to the bottom of the content (as though it were a floated element), etc., etc. Maybe the experience of programming zoom on mobile browsers will feed back some learning to desktop browsers, but UI designers have a long way to go there as well.
In the short run, maybe something like the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/readability/ Readability extension] will help tame those unruly layouts?

New feature request - More Zoom Levels at a Keystroke

Hi
I would love to have more levels of zoom available at a keystroke
I just took an image into Photoshop CS 5 from LR (I bet the developers hate this comparison - there must be considerable, if friendly rivalry in Adobe!) and remembered the joy of just hitting the "+" key maybe three or four times and then the "-" key till I have the image at the right size I want it and then throwing the image about with the hand tool in that way so that the image carries on after you let go (I can't remember what that is called -anyone help me?). It just seems much quicker and more intuitive than LR which lets you have one quick level of zoom and doesn't have that easy moving around of the image which PS has.
I suspect that problem for developers in being able to do this in LR could be to do with the way that LR deals with previews and the fact that it probably has to load and compute any adjustments you have already made to the image before it can even give you a fully rendered image at any given size.
Any feedback from LR developers or other people who agree with me would be much appreciated

It would be more than useful but I don't know if it's the previews or not. You compared with PS but even with C1s workflow the zoom works as you'd expect and pretty fast too. I'm sure Eric will give the scoop as to why LR handles it in this way.

Feature request : import of multi-line notes in CSV or tab-delimited file

This is a feature request to the AddressBook development team:
Following a question posted here and asked to support (thanks to Barry and Julia from ADC), it turns out that AddressBook is not ready yet to import multi-line notes from a CSV or tab-delimited file.
I would like to kindly suggest the AddressBook development team to update the import methods for such flat files to parse the text of what is assigned to the Notes field, and convert documented escape sequences to their pre-determined corresponding special character.
I would think that the following would be pretty easy to implement, and easy for the targeted audience (enthousiasts power-users and up) to remember:
"\n " : mark a new line (same as ^p in Word)
"\t " : replace by a tab
I would keep the trailing space to avoid problems with DOS-type file path problems.
and of course...
"\\n " and "\\t " for whoever would want to import notes about \n and \t
For example, in a Notes column, the text:
"Escape sequence \\n :\n move the text to a new line\n \n while escape sequence \\t :\t move the text to the next horizontal tab"
would give the following (just consider text between <Note> marks):
<Note>
Escape sequence \n:
move the text to a new line
while escape sequence \t: move the text to the next horizontal tab
</Note>
Thanks for reading...

The developers do not necessarily read these USER discussion pages. If you want to make suggestions and know they will be read (which is at least a step towards implementation) use the OS X feedback page.

Feature Request Marked as Being in SQL Developer 3.0 Isn't

The Unit Test feature request titled "Unit Test Implementation Specific Startup/Teardown" has a Status that is "In Release 3.0", but what was added in version 3.0 was the ability to have multiple startups and teardowns per Test, not what this feature request was actually requesting, which was the ability to give each implementation of the Test its own specific Startup and Teardown (which would be in addition to the Test's Startup and Teardown).
Oracle: Please update this feature request's status accordingly, or if you need clarification of the feature request, please let me know.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry it was not recognized when you originally posted. I have logged an internal bug for this:
Bug 13578934 - FORUM: TRACE VIEWER ERRORS ON POST-11.1.0.6 DBS DUE TO NEW PLAN HASH VALUE ATTR
The bug is not a regression, but simply reflects a lack of necessary maintenance in the the trace viewer.

Any Plan for JDeveloper to have feature requests like SQL Developer

Recently SQL Developer has come up with "Feature requests" link where users can request for feature requests or see the existing ones.
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:37:3434730358746967::NO:::
This sort of feature will be very useful in one place instead of using JDev Forum for feature requests.

Hi,
yes, we like the idea and we are looking into this.

Lens correction feature completely missing from Develop Module

The lens correction feature has gone missing from the Development Module. It was missing before I upgraded to 5.6 and is still missing. Previously, it was present, so I am wondering if I did anything to hide or remove it?

Right-click on one of the other section headings, such as Tone Curve, Basic, etc. Make sure there is a checkmark in lens corrections. This is how you control which develop features you want displayed on your system. Sometimes features disappear mysteriously.

Space bar zoom not working in Develop module

According to Lightroom help (using F1 button) it is possible to use the space bar to zoom in and out of an image, and as I recall this was possible in both Library and Develop modules in the Beta 4.1 version.
In v. 1.0 it only works in Library module. In Develop module the 'Z' character is the only way to do it (this also works in Library module). It annoys me, and I think it's a bug.
Also according to Lightroom help it is possible to press [Ctrl+ +/-] to select between zoom levels. I can only make [Ctrl+ -] work (zoom out)
Does anyone have these problems?
BTW, I use Windows XP Pro with service pack 2.
Thanks!
Per

Thanks Victoria.
Did you try your PC as well?
I still think it's a bit strange that space bar can be used in the Library module and not in the Develop module. Especially because space bar is unused in Develop module.
Ok, I can live with the 'Z' key for zooming, it just seems a bit strange changing it.
Otherwise I'm very happy with Lightroom. It fit my needs very well.

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.

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!

Feature Request: Right-Click Zoom (like in Audition)

You can hold down the right mouse button down, select an area, and release to zoom to that region in Audition.
Can we please have this feature in Premiere Pro CC? It would be a huge timesaver, and it won't add any bulk to the interface (in terms of height or width of components).
Imagine zooming into the exact section of the timeline you want with one click & drag of the mouse! It works so well in Audition, I really think it's time to bring it over to Premiere (and After Effects would be cool too, but I'd have to request it there, probably). Navigating the timeline is one of the timesinks of editing. This feature could drastically speed that process up.
Does anyone else want this as much as I do?

Honestly, I feel like feature requests get ignored, unless they have more than one person's support behind them.
Not sure about that. We get Features that no one ever mentioned, discussed or asked for.
Its called 'Feature Creep' and I think there is one from last update being discussed in a Forum near you... right now.

SQL Developer Feature Request :: Tool Security for DBAs

TOAD has a feature that our DBAs like. It is called TOAD Security. In effect the tool looks at a table (on a per instance, per schema basis) to determine what menu options and features should be enabled/disabled. DBA's are provided with a GUI interface to manage the permissions, however once the table changes are noted, then the activity can be scripted for other schema/instances.
If it is not already in the plans, then it would be an excellent feature to add to SQL Developer. With something like this in place, we could defintely consider moving to SQL Developer as our tool of choice.

thats understandable. The expense of TOAD is small peanuts compared to the larger sums of monies being spent in IT, however, IMHO there is no sense spending it if a proper match can be found. I am just watching and waiting as the Oracle product continues to mature. Having the ability for tool to be controlled via an external security model, would be a plus.
To give an idea, DBA's basically took away abilities that were too easy to accidentally do but had bad results..
* Drop an object.... they prefer us to physically write the statement... no oops click the button accidentally. This applies to a test environment as well as production.
* Kill a Session..... again, test (not in production) we can kill a process thread, but they didn't want it to be so easy as a click of a button.
... I could go on... but you get the idea. At first they went overboard, and essentially turned our TOAD tool into an expensive Notepad clone. After working with them, the permissions were readjusted and we have been fine since then. The feature makes a good companion to the database level security for things that the Database Security setup does not cover.
