Feature Request: Add Skype option to user name field in contacts
I know skype maintains it's own names but this is so you don't lose everrything when you move from one place to another. Or need to skype someone from an internet cafe with your iphone.

Why not simply add the field by modifying the template?

FEATURE REQUEST: Enhanced Texture Options in FW

Recently, a forum user was asking how to change the color of a texture in Fireworks to red or blue. In particular, he/she was struggling with attempting to apply a texture to a white object, and it wasn't showing up.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006694?tstart=0
The question got me thinking about textures, how they're created and how they're applied. Textures are a unique and distinctive feature of Fireworks. On the one hand, the interface for textures is very simple to use and almost magical; on the other hand, it's surprisingly limited. The concept is great, but the implementation seems only half-baked.
With this in mind, I'd like to suggest a few simple ways that textures could be made more fluid and versatile in Fireworks.
First, a little background...
WHAT IS A TEXTURE?
In the world of Fireworks, a texture is basically a type of pattern that's applied to an object. However, unlike a pattern fill, textures include transparency and integrate with the existing fill content (color, gradient or pattern). They're suggestive of textures in the real world, which are often tactile and defined visually by light and shadow.
Texture graphics are most commonly grayscale ("black and white") in GIF or PNG format. Applied within the application, the graphics are converted "on the fly" to white-on-transparency. If the Transparent option is checked, the graphic is converted into a sort of mask, making the "textured" areas invisible instead of white.
And that's about it.
So what if you'd like to apply a dark texture to a white object? Sorry, it can't be done. What if you'd like to apply a texture in color? It can't be done. What if you'd like to reverse or invert the pattern of the texture? Can't be done.
Well, in fact, these things can be done, but not directly. They require workarounds such as cloning the object and placing the clone above or beneath the original, applying textures as pattern fills (instead of as textures) and adding effects like Color Fill, Invert, and Convert to Alpha, or editing the texture file directly, saving out a new copy, etc. In short, there are unintuitive ways to accomplish these goals that lead to bloated effects lists and layers or that require extra time and care.
HOW CAN TEXTURES BE IMPROVED?
First of all, does it make any sense that textures are applied exclusively in white? Not really. In the real world, a texture can be defined not just by light but by shadow. And even shadows can have color. This means that, at minimum, it would make sense to allow for the application of a texture in black, and, at maximum, in any chosen color.
Secondly, textures are relative. They represent change to an existing surface. Sometimes, it might make sense to highlight the texture itself; other times, the surface around the texture. This means that being able to quickly reverse the figure-ground relationship of a texture would be a very handy feature.
With the above concerns in mind, I've devised three 'user interface' scenarios, presented here in order of most conservative to most extreme. The first scenario is the least powerful but still doubles the number of possible outcomes (compared to the existing interface). The second scenario may be the most logical of the bunch and represents a modest evolution of the existing interface, while increasing the number of potential outcomes even further. The third scenario allows for the application of any color to a texture but also represents the biggest change to the existing interface; that said, it's also quite compact.
Scenario 1: Invert option
The idea here is simply to add an Invert checkbox to the existing options. Checking this option would convert white to black, allowing for the application of dark textures to white or light-colored objects. In "Transparent" mode, this option would invert or reverse the figure-ground relationship of the existing texture.
Scenario 2: Dropdown menu plus Reverse option
Here, the Transparent checkbox is replaced by a dropdown menu that includes 3 mutually exclusive options: White, Black, or Transparent. Checking the "Reverse" option would invert the figure-ground relationship of the texture. This scenario allows for 6 possible outcomes in place of the existing 2, and is actually more logical than the first scenario, which conflates two options.
Scenario 3: Color picker plus Reverse option
Here, the Transparent checkbox is removed, and in its place, a color chip/palette is added to allow for the selection of any color to be applied to a texture. (Choosing Fill: None would create Transparency.) Again, a "Reverse" option would invert the figure-ground relationship of the texture. This scenario differs most from the existing interface but is quite compact and allows for the greatest number of outcomes.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?

FEATURE REQUEST
Product name: Fireworks
Product Version: 12.0.0.236
Product language: English
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Enhanced texture controls, including the ability to apply textures in black and/or color (instead of white), and the ability to reverse or invert texture.
How would you like the feature to work? Three possible implementations have been outlined in this forum posting:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042206?tstart=0
The basic scenarios are as follows:
SCENARIO 1: An additional "Invert" option. Checking this option would convert white to black, allowing for the application of dark textures to white or light-colored objects. In "Transparent" mode, this option would invert or reverse the figure-ground relationship of the existing texture. This scenario would allow for 4 options in place of the existing 2.
SCENARIO 2: Replace Transparent checkbox with a dropdown menu (White-Black-Transparent) and a "Reverse" checkbox. The dropdown menu offers 3 mutually exclusive options, while "Reverse" inverts the figure-ground relationship of the texture in each case. This scenario would allow for 6 options in place of the existing 2.
SCENARIO 3: Replace Transparent checkbox with a color chip/palette and a "Reverse" checkbox. The color palette would allow for the application of a texture in any color, while choosing Fill: None would create Transparency. This scenario would allow for the greatest number of options.
Why is this feature important to you? Textures are unique to Fireworks and potentially very useful, but their implementation is incomplete. The use of 'white only' means that textures cannot be applied to a white object. Inverting a texture or applying a texture in color requires advanced workarounds and can lead to bloat. The suggested options would make the feature exponentially more powerful and intuitive.

Thanks, Jim! It is a very blog-like post. (I still haven't gotten around to starting a blog but keep thinking I should.)
I figured the clearer and more thought-out the presentation, the greater the likelihood it might get implemented. Also, I was originally stuck on Scenario 1 as a solution, and writing this helped me see other options.

Feature Request: AE Collect Option in PPro Project Manager

While PPro Project Manager collects linked AEP projects, it falls short of collecting assets embedded with the AEP project itself. This results in the user having to re-open the AEP project, locate and copy the original embedded media to new location and relink.
Another option is to open the original AEP Project, perform a collectioning within AEP, then having to manually import and replace the media on the timeline in the newly collected PPro. Tedious considering the complexity of AEPs that can run several layers deep with many assets.
Is this feature possible to add in the next round of updates?

Feature Request: "Show Password" option in login s...

When I am connecting to wi-fi networks, the connection dlg box often gives me the option to show the characters of the wi-fi password, so that I can ensure that I'm putting the right chars in.
Can I request this same option in the login screen for Skype, as it happens too often that I fumble-finger a character and only find out about it when I can't log in, and then I can only see dots in the password field, so I have to backspace over the whole password and tap it all in again. Would be easirer if I could just fix the incorrect character.
Yes, I have turned on the "show temporarily the chars in the PW field as you type them" option in my device but that's not sufficient.

Feature Request: Better format options Please!

I've been using Adobe Story recently and think it's a great, competitive product that definitely rivals other products!
However, I do think there need to be a few more output options to increase compatibility with writers and producers who may not necessarily be using the latest software. In particular, .rtf and .fdr (Final Draft 7 or older) formats are not given as options to export and this would be very handy as I know plenty of writers who have not upgraded to Final Draft 8 and therefore cannot read the new .fdx extension on files.
Adding these two little things shouldn't be at all difficult and would allow much greater flexibility for users of Adobe Story to share material out without the need of the other party having to reformat things on their end.
Hopefully I'm not the only one looking for this feature update?

Hi Deepak
Thanks for your response. Don't take this the wrong way and please don't feel like I'm shooting the messenger here, but honestly speaking I think rtf *and* fdr format compatibility should be in your frontlog considering you are making a version 1 product that's trying to compete or at least compliment industry standard tools!
Having only fdx compatibility is like Office 2007/2010 only having .docx with no backwards compatibility for legacy formats - it renders the tool useless in the eyes of many potential customers. It great to push new and more open formatting standards but there must, must, must be legacy support too - I mean you already support import of rtf and fdr so it's nuts that it doesn't go out that way too!
I have found that having .txt and .pdf as a bridge for the older software tends to be an inefficient workaround. There are always occasional formatting errors that crop up due to the use of some type of special character that isn't translated properly in the conversion and therefore there is always a need to spend an additional 15-20 minutes re-checking entire scripts to make sure there are no problems before sharing the material to a colleague or client who either cannot afford to or hasn't bothered to upgrade to Final Draft 8 (or Adobe Story ).
That's just my two cents but I'm sure that many people would agree with me that this small update should be a priority to make AS (sorry, I've gone an abbreviated another one of your products - doh!) a more appealing alternative to the tools people may have been used to in the past.
Hope you take this pledge into serious consideration for your next upcoming update!
Thanks,
Kaush

FEATURE REQUEST: 'Select Printer' option when printing envelopes or labels

I have a Samsung laserjet printer that will not print labels properly with the default paper type setting...the toner smears. So I have created a second printer object for the Samsung device with 'Labels' selected as the default paper type and I've named
it 'Samsung Labels'. I can select it as the printer in Word 2010 and it will print labels correctly for that session. I've read the discussion about Word 2010 only remembering the printer preferences during the current session. That is unfortunate, but I consider
this to be even worse: when you click the 'Print' button after creating your label or envelope, Word just prints to the default printer without displaying the print control panel. This prevents me from selecting the printer object that I've created to print
labels correctly with my Samsung. I use a number of different printers and I don't want to necessarily use my default printer for Word. I want to be able to select a different default printer for Word and also have the option to select a different printer
for a particular print task in Word...like labels. I don't want to have to go into Word's print options every time I want to print a label and make sure that everything is set correctly. It makes no sense that I can't select a printer object when I hit the
print button. There are a million 'features' built into Office that I would never think of using, but one that seems so obvious is missing. Arg!
I doubt that I'll hear back from someone with a simple work around for this, but I'd love it if I did.
Thanks in advance,
Wayne

I would like to second Wayne's suggestion but I am concerned with printing envelopes, not labels. I have been a PC user (and even an instructor) since the days of VisiCalc, Lotus 1-2-3, and the first Microsoft products. It has never ceased to amaze me
that, as mentioned by Wayne, the most fundamental needs are overlooked. It wastes a lot of my time to constantly have to change the printer just to print an envelope or to print something on letterhead. We have a lot of documents that include one letter on
letterhead followed or preceded by several pages that need to print on plain paper. I think I should be able to tell Word that page X is letterhead, and the others default to the plain paper tray or printer. I also should be able to tell the print envelopes
feature that envelopes are on printer X or tray X. Then every time I need to print such a document, I just click print for the doc and envelope print for the envelope (I keep an icon for this in my toolbar). We use a legal software package in our office that
lets you specify the appropriate printer and tray for reports, general checks, trust checks, labels, receipts, deposit slips, bills and pre-bills! Super easy and convenient. Word processing should be SMART so we don't have to be bothered with these very mundane
and never-ending printer issues!! Please, please, take this to the top! Please send your developers to actual real-world users and find out our needs!!!

Feature Request : Export (3rd Option)

When I re-export from a catalogue I am working on, sometimes I am exporting images I have exported before.
So . . . Lightroom asks me: Do you want to
a. Overwrite exixting files or
B. Create unique filenames.
. . . which, BTW -in my humble opinion, is flawed anyway since the unique filenames do not appear in the file listing anywhere near their companion.
Example: Img008 does not get a uniquely named copy like Img008-b, but instead gets something like copy-Img008 - which does not allow for quick side-by-side comparisons in an image browser.
(SO: Unique filename option should be fixed!)
But there should also be a third option: (the real reason I write)
C. Ignore duplicates (Do not overwrite or create new file when there is already an existing file.) This will save my computer lots of processing time trying to re-export over existing files.
Now for arguments sake, you could tell me just to not select the pre-existing exported files when I export, but in my particular case, that would involved nearly as much brain power as not doing it consumes computer time, since I have already exported selected non-sequential files for my first export, and I'll be damned if I can remember which ones they were until the export "expert" tells me which files are about to be duplicated.

It keeps the password. Whatever issues you are having are the exception, not the rule. However, without any system info, nobody can really help. Start by reviewing these steps:
Sign in or activation errors
And since you are in a corporate environment, definitely talk to IT and have them release the necessary network ports and grant sufficient user privileges to make this stuff stick...

Feature request: Better keywording options

There appears to be no improvements in keywording otpions in LR4b.
How about:
Larger panels of suggested keywords. (could be configuarable in options, like the number of recent files option in PS)
Larger numbers of keywords in a set.
Buttons to apply a complete set with one click.
Put the keywording tools,( ie the same panels as in library module), in the import dialogue.

Feature Request: allow Layer sort options + math in layer search fields

First off, thank you so much for implementing layer sorting! I have one suggestion, and that would be to add a sort option by most recently edited or most recently created.
That and the ability to do math in fields would be sublime.

Hello Sly,
I did exactly thuch beast for freehand some years ago. It's called Layersets. Perhaps we can discuss this off list first.

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

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

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

Feature Request - Please allow for a "classic" view option.

Please allow for a "classic" view option like you have in Mail. Miss the sidebar that had a list of all the calendars using. The pop up list is not nearly as functional. iCal in Lion may be great for touch screen users but is a step back on the intuitive scale for Mac users.
Also, the delete / revert button are too close to the done button. Too easy to hit on accident.

This is a good feature request and should be submitted here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
The team reviews all the requests that come in through that form. It is a guaranteed way to get your request seen while we do not always see everything that gets posted to the forums.

Feature Request: Option to Not Autohide Video Controller

Curently, when you enable the built in video controller it will auto-hide when the cursor is not over the movie. I'd like to request you make the autohide feature a checkbox option in the Video properties area and have the video controller stay on the screen as the default behavior. Here's why.
When students come to a sheet with an enbedded video, they have no idea it's a video unless they accidentially move the cursor over the video area. It would be great to have the video controller always visible to let users know there is a video on the sheet, and would save developers some time from having to add instructions on the sheet to play the video. I'd like to remove any/all confusion the students might have in using content built by ROME.
Thanks.
David Egbert

Thanks David! This is now added to the feature request list.
Best,
