FEATURE REQUEST: Song Linking

Recently, I have purchased both some classical music and some iTunes original recordings that really should have a few of the tracks played in sequence. Meaning that for example, ALL of Copeland's Rodeo should play in sequence when it comes up on the randomized playlist. You currently allow an entire "work" to be purchased (may be 3-4 tracks off one CD), it would be nice for those to be forced to be grouped together when a playlist is randomized.
This means that instead of "Hoedown" being selected as a random track, the entire 4 dances of Rodeo would be selected and played in order. I would call this "Song Linking", i.e., force songs to be linked together in a chain such that the group is selected for random play in the order of the links.

  • Feature Request: Song Controls in Coverflow and Bigger touch buttons

    Something that really needs to be added to the iPhone software for the iPod are song controls ( |<< and >>| buttons) when the phone is resting sideways and in coverflow mode. I use the iPhone in my car as an MP3 player, and if it is in coverflow mode and I am listening to an entire Genre (on shuffle), there is no way skip forward to the next song - this also becomes a problem if I'm using an armband. It would be nice if Apple added forward/backward skip buttons in the coverflow mode.
    Also - another concern is that touch-area around the song control buttons when you are NOT in coverflow mode isa bit small. When you are driving in a car, it actually becomes difficult to find the right area to touch (you know the >>| button) to skip to the next song. These would benefit from a small increase in size or just the touch area surrounding the button.
    These seem like simple changes that can be easily implemented. Anyone else have these same concerns? Does anyone else have any other simple features that could be added to the iPod functionality to make it easier to use?

    Since this is a user to user help forum only for technical support issues and questions, best to use the iPhone feedback link for such feedback, which at least ensures that your feedback is forwarded to and read by the appropriate Apple personnel but does not ensure that your request will be implemented.

  • Feature Request: List of linked contacts

    hi there,
    as there is bug with disapearing gmail contacts (those which are linked with SIM contacts if SIM card contacts display is switched off) i've tried to view all linked contacts and unlink them. i found the only way to do this is to go trough all contacts in list, check everyone is it linked or not separatelly. as usual contact list may exceed even 100 positions it is really hard task, or time consuming.
    it wouldbe very nice to have:
    1. a quick access to list of all linked contacts, so i may decide manually which one should be unliked, or:
    2. maybe a little icon next to a contact name to indicate that contact is linked, or:
    3. little icon at right side of the name which would indicate a type of storage: gmail, local phone, sim... contacts linked from few sources could have more than one icon.

    Try this:
    Once logged in, click 'All Files' from the top-left corner.  Then click the 'Clock' symbol to 'List by when I viewed'
    I realize it's not exactly what you've asked for, but it may be helpful!
    I've shared this feature request with the Workspaces product manager too.

  • Feature Request:  iTunes to merge the "Song Name" & "Artist" fields

    This is a feature request that i would like to see in a future release of iTunes. The option to merge the "Song Name" & "Artist" fields together. This would be a very valuable option when surfing your iTunes Library thru your iPod, Front Row, or Apple TV.
    Let me explain:
    Not everyone knows at the top of their head who sings a particular song. This is especially true when someone other than the owner of the iTunes Library is browsing through it.
    Let's say that I want to browse my ENTIRE music collection all at once. The easiest way to do this, is by browsing thru the "Songs" list because it creates 1 massive list displaying ALL the songs in the library, without having to jump into different fields. The current problem with this, is, it only lists the name of the song. There are 2 problems with this philosophy. #1 - You must know who sings the songs to have any chance of making this a useful option because the artist is not displayed. #2 - It puts them in alphabetical based on the song name. Once again, not a very useful way to make this option really functional because you will have the Artists all over the map! Keeping the Artist's songs together makes it a much more feasable option.
    The solution, I feel, would be to have iTunes create an "Option" that would allow users like me to make iTunes merge the "Artist" & "Name" fields together. Make it an option so that users who do not see the benefit to this, would not have to use it. By doing this, I could now surf my ENTIRE collection via the "Songs" field in a very logical approach.
    For an example, let's take a song: Artist - "Def Leppard" & Song Name - "Pour Some Sugar On Me". By clicking this option, when browsing thru the "Songs" field, it would now display as: Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me. This allows me to browse my ENTIRE library while at the same time, keeping "like" songs together, and making it very easy to distinguish whether or not it is a song I want to select. By knowing that Def Leppard is a Rock Artist, it helps to distinguish the song.
    I work for a custom AV integration shop that has put hundreds of music servers into homes. We have been teaching our clients the benefits of this for some time now, with great feedback. The only problem presently, is it requires the users to have to re-edit every single file by putting the Artist's Name & the Song Title into the "Name" field of iTunes. Very time consuming! As well, because you also have the "Artists" name entered in the "Artist" field, you get Front Row displaying the "Artist" name twice, once in the song name, and once in the artist's field.
    Any feedback would be welcomed.
    Regards,
    Trevor

    You might be able to get where you want using Chaotic Software's MediaRage. It can automate and batch tag editing, including building a Title tag that combines Artist and Title and, to possibly address you other problem, blanking the Artist tag.
    MediaRage is not expensive and it is very powerful, you can even define regexs for how to parse tags.

  • Feature request, link contact to appointment, including mapping

    Feature request for iPhone.
    1. Ability to link a contact to an appointment.
    I would like to be able to go to the calendar, and have a button that associates a contact with a scheduled appointment.
    the goal is to be able to have the iPhone type the contact name into an appointment, and to have the map to their address, as well as their phone number, available from the appointment screen.
    I do not like having to type in an appointment with the mechanic, and then when I need a map I have to go into the phone book and scroll to the entry.
    I do like very much the new search feature on FW 2.0. I already have that feature on 1.1.4, using the program called Search downloaded from Installer.
    But it would be much cleaner user interface if simply touching the appointment text field one could access the contact that is scheduled in that appointment.
    for example, say on Friday at 1pm Im supposed to take my car to my mechanic. Go to calendar, touch the text entry field, click a new button that adds the contact name to the appointment field. Then save.
    Then implement a button on the text field in the calendar, that when touched links to the contact, including their address info so it can be mapped.
    In summary, the feature allows a user to paste a contact name into an appointment, and then use the contact name in the appointment to link back to the phone book, so I can use the mapping feature.
    I hope that makes sense.

  • Feature request : Crossfade when skipping to next song ...

    Hello,
    Is there any feature request area for iTunes ? I really love the program and think it is great. I would like to request implementation of crossfading between songs when hitting the next song button. This is the only reason I still have to use my winamp from time to time. Almost every other player has this feature or a plugin that has.
    It is really anoying when we have some friends over or a party at home and you want to skip to the next song. The cold transition really cools down everyone ...
    Hoping this will be implemented !
    Greetings
      Windows XP Pro

    Move people from TO to CC or BCC easily (If I may add, also ability to backspace to delete a contact without having to tap the X in blue box).

    Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
    Single key press to change profiles.
    Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
    Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
    Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
    Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
    Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
    Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
    Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
    Call Recording
    Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails,  or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
    Customize email signatures with formatting.
    Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
    More Options for Clock.
    In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
    There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
    Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
    E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
    When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
    Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
    Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
    When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
    Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
    We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
    I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
    None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
    There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
    Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
    Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
    Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
    Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
    Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
    Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
    No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
    The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
    Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
    Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
    We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
    them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
    Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
    There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
    Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
    I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
    Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

  • FAQ: How do I submit a bug report or feature request or otherwise give feedback about Premiere Pro?

    The best way to submit a bug report or feature request is to use the bug-report/feature-request form.
    The Premiere Pro team doesn’t  necessarily see and record every post on every forum and social network, but we do see, record, and track every entry  through the the official feature-request/bug-report form.
    It also helps a lot if you opt into the Product Improvement Program.
    Also, be sure to use the crash reporter.
    We really do read all of the bug reports and feature  requests, and the software really does get a lot of benefit from  detailed crash reports.
    Don’t forget about contacting Adobe Technical Support or Customer  Service, too. For information on how to contact Adobe Technical Support,  see this page. (Note that you must register your product before you can open a technical support case for it.)
    If you have tried to get help from our support staff, but the service  was inadequate, I can help you to escalate your issue if you send me  your case number at kopriva at adobe dot com. You must provide me  a case number. I am not offering to solve your problem myself; rather, I  am willing to forward your information to someone if you have already  hit a dead end with our Technical Support or Customer Service.
    If you have feedback about the content of the Premiere Pro Help document,  then please add a comment at the bottom of the relevant page. You can  add comments to add information, to add links, to make corrections, or  to ask for clarification.
    If you want to keep up with the Premiere Pro team, then you can follow our blogs, Facebook page, and Twitter feed and so on.
    Oh, and I can’t resist this opportunity to remind you to update to  the most recent version of the application. Don’t be surprised when the  first thing that you hear back from us is that you need to install the  latest updates. We fix a lot of things in updates, and we don’t want to go chasing bugs that we’ve already fixed. We’ll keep you posted on our blogs, Facebook page, and Twitter feed about updates as they become available.

    Hi qwerty,
    Dun tink that creative customer support sucks cos I had been dealing with them in the past and I can say that their service are quite gd and fast. If you wanted a refund, I tink you need to contact the store that sells you the product. Dun tink creative will refund you though.

  • Feature Request: Custom uninstaller which executes actionscript function on uninstall

    Hi,
    My name is Ronald Kamp and I'm an IT Consultant at iDA MediaFoundry Belgium.
    I would like to request a feature. At the moment I have an application that writes a file to the app-storage of my application, to the user's documents and settings folder and one value to the Encrypted Local Store. On uninstall, I would like to remove all of these files so that all links to the application are removed.
    Would it be possible to add a feature to the AIR SDK that will execute a certain piece of actionscript so that all of these files are removed? Of course, it would be possible to create an installer with InstallAnywhere but then we would lose all of the checks that are performed with the standard AIR installer and uninstaller.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Ronald Kamp

    Hi Ronald,
    Thank you for the feature request feedback.  I agree, having this functionality would be great.  If you get a chance, I'd like to recommend voting for both of these ideas:
    Custom hook on AIR application uninstall
    Deleting local data store while unistall
    You might also be able to work around this now by creating a native installer and having it sub launch your AIR installer.  More details about this can be found on our redistribution instructions, and you can sign up for the licensing needed on our runtime distribution page.
    Thanks,
    Chris

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

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

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

  • Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1

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

    PIN: C0005A9AA   Display/Scan Bar Code

    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

  • Feature Request: Several Key Items

    I am not really new to DPS. Have been publishing under contract for my client for the last 2 years now and it's been going great. However, there seems to be a few things we wish for that we can't seem to do. I figured this is probably the best place to request these features, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that somehow these make their way into an update or are considered maybe for other program features (you'll see what I mean later when I get into it).
    1) It would be nice if we could produce apps for android phones as well as tablets. I am more of an iOS guy but we do have a bunch of users who want to access these folios on their phablets and android phones but cannot get access to it. I don't know how complicated this process might be but it would be a great feature to add in any upcoming DPS releases.
    2) We are using DPS for publishing but we have been requested to use it in an "app style". The client wants this because they are comfortable with DPS and happy that their staff can use pretty much all the adobe suite programs. Maybe an ability to disable the browse toolbar (where the thumbails for articles show up and navigate). This way we can create a single page with MSOs and trick the user into thinking they're in an app instead of a digital magazine publishing platform app. This would work great for companies that want an app to accompany their magazine and display info about the company, how to reach them etc instead of having certain pages within the magazine.
    3) A muse widget. I would love if we could directly export muse files directly into DPS (say, as if we were importing an image). I know this may be much to ask since this isn't the Muse feature request board but it woudl be nice to be able to export it as a widget that will automatically package it into an element with all the required files to import into DPS.
    4) As muse and DPS are both great apps for designers who don't know how to code, maybe one or the other, or creating an app that is based off of the two could be an excellent choice for deisgners. There is a huge gap in the market for app builders. Muse is mainly a web builder and DPS is mainly for publishing. I think if Adobe could maybe mash the two into an app that helps users build basic apps. Imagine being able to make an app the same way you do in DPS? Having preset widgets such as capture image from camera, use geolocation, upload to server or whatever. I'm not too verse in this but it'd be nice if I could use an Adobe app to build an app that wasn't just a digital magazine. Maybe my lack of knowledge in this area is simplfying the whole process so forgive me if that's the case. From a business perspective it just seems that there is a huge gap for this, and maybe Adobe can conjure something up for the Adobe Faithful.
    5) Automatic web viewer. Would be nice if whatever displayed on my iPad can automatically shoot up into a web viewer linked to a business catalyst account or a specified server as an HTML5 file. Again, I haven't gone too much into the web viewer version so forgive me if this already exists, but I have looked through some documentation and not really found much on it.
    6) WIDGETS! More widgets like muse would be a life saver! Maybe something like a slideshow instead of just having the MSOs fade in and fade out, maybe allow a widget to do a slideshow that snaps into place everytime you swipe. It seems more natural since a lot of the apps function this way. Widgets also open up a lot of doors, maybe allowing users to create their own widget and housing a widget library on the adobe website?
    Just some thoughts, not sure which ones are really doable but I figured it's worth a shot requesting them.
    Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards,

  • Top 10 feature requests for reliability

    As per the Terms of Use:
    Post constructive comments and questions. Unless otherwise noted, your Submission should either be a technical support question or a technical support answer. Feedback about new feature requests or product enhancements are welcome too.
    My top 10 list:
    1) Require enough extra safe guards that users can't accidentally rename their Home folder.
    2) Don't let the Finder become unresponsive and beach-balled when dot-mac mounting is occurring.
    3) Faster Finder list view updating when sorted by last modified.
    4) OS update scripts should perform a hard disk verify before installation. If hard disk does not verify, the user should be told of the risk of proceeding and given directions on how to fix before proceeding.
    5) The filesystem should should be able to fix itself with fsck (ala AppleJack) without being booted from install CD/DVD.
    6) iPhoto Library folder should have an extra layer of protection to keep users from messing with it via the Finder.
    7) Forced shutdown via power key should give OS and filesystem more of a chance for recovery. (Not sure how this would work, but if users are doing this, it should not be so often fatal.)
    8) System maintenance scripts should have a method for running (other than cron) for those who don't leave their computer on 24/7.
    9) & 10) coming soon ...
    What are your feature requests for improved reliability?

    5) The filesystem should should be able to fix itself with fsck (ala AppleJack) without being booted from install CD/DVD.
    David Pogue explains why this can't be done in his Mac OS X: The Missing Manual He basically says that running fsck without an operating system disc is much akin to "a doctor performing an appendectomy on himself." While a method of doing this is provided, naturally fsck itself is not analyzed because it can't do that. To run fsck without an operating system disc, boot into single user mode, holding command-S at startup. Type /sbin/fsck -fy
    followed by return key,
    when done type:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    followed by return key and when done with that type
    exit. This is documented here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Thankfully single user mode provides more safeguards. But they aren't perfect. Fixing the directory is something that should only be done if your data is backed up, and it is obvious you may have a damaged directory. A damaged directory may have the symptoms of a dying hard drive, and it is impossible to tell the difference.
    Apple is readying a really good backup system in Time Machine in Leopard. You can read more about it here:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/timemachine.html
    Your best protection for what you are looking for is to learn how to backup your data, as my FAQ* explains:

  • Feature request: option to deactivate builtin screen when monitor connected

    This is a feature request for laptops, or rather for the Air specifically. To see why it might be a good thing, see this thread:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=449778
    I'd like a checkbox in the display preferences to deactivate the internal monitor when an external monitor is plugged in. This would save load on the Air's GPU and reduce heat while using an external monitor.
    Users of the regular Macbook might want this as well.

    Apple doesn't monitor the forum for feature requests and the like. It's just for user-to-user help.
    Also note that this feature already exists: all Mac laptops sold in the past few years, including the MacBook Air, can be run with only an external monitor. It's called closed-lid mode.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307315
    If you then want to open the lid to increase cooling, you can. Once the external display is attached, the internal display does not come on automatically when you open it.
