Feature Request: Timelines in Event Folder

Hi,
Final Cut X is an awesome video editing program - great job with all of the updates you've been pushing out!!
There's something that I would love to see in Final Cut Pro X that would enhance the editors ability to organize. I'd love to see timelines in the Event folder - like the title says. I know that the creators of FCPX initially allowed the seperation of Events and Timelines to give editors access to all of their media at all times - and I am thankful that they are continually thinking out of the box to give us this kind of functionality. But after it was released, I'd like to know if editors wound up using that functionality - that's not a rhetorical question, I'd really like to know. Do they take footage from one movie shoot and use it in a different movie? Do they take graphics for one commercial and use it in another? If it's a consumer making a family vacation DVD, do they take shots from one trip and use it in another? I definitely think it was an innovative idea, but it didn't wind up adding functionality that we use very often, and it wound up introducing complexity to the organization process. The way timelines currently work, I have to export the entire sequence - I can't have version 1 of my video at the beginning of the timeline and version 2 at the end. I have to create two, three, four seperate timelines. I can't use keywords to make the different versions. I also can't have 2 different commercials on the same timeline. I would love to one day be able to open up the Event window, choose my event, and see all of my related timelines there, all my footage, all my graphics, and even all my Motion files (because right now, I have to create my Motion files as templates and organize those in a seperate template window.) It would be great to hit a little plus sign in my Event and create another timeline. But right now, I start getting stressed when I have more than 10 projects in Final Cut... and I have about 30 and counting. It also takes 2 to 3 times longer to delete my old projects because they're in three different windows, and I have to remember how I made them. It may sound like a small issue, but I think Final Cut is good at eliminating the small problems in an editor's day to day workflow. It would also consolidate all of the project's data into one folder on my hard drive. And the great part is, editors would still have all of the same functionality that you originally envisioned, being able to access all of their media in any timeline - because the Event window is still there, and as accessible as ever. Allowing timelines to be placed in an Event, along with Motion files, would allow an increased level of organizational optimization that would give editors the freedom to think less about saving their work and more about creating it. Lemme know if you have any thoughts, too!
- David

Okay, that's a good thing. I just tried it out, and this is what happened. I made a selection of the area I wanted to export, turned it into a compound clip, and copied it. Then, in the project list, created a new project that will adjust it's frame size automatically, pasted it, then export. That definitely is a way to put different videos in the same timeline. Nice workaround, thank you Tom!
But, even though this answers one of my questions (thanks Tom), I still have a bunch more that I want Apple to consider. First of all, this doesn't answer the questions about organization.. or Motion. I would still like to be able to organize my projects in a more conducive environment. If I could see my timelines in the Event pane, I could utilize all of FCPX's awesome export features in one click, the way FCPX intended.

Unimplemented feature request marked as released

SQL Developer Exchange feature request for extended code folding capabilities is marked as "In release 1.1". I can find no indication that the feature as originally described - or the many worthwhile additions from the comments - exist in 1.1 or 1.2. (However, it would Feature Request "Navigator: Distinct icons for package objects".)

Fixed broken link

I have changed the setting to reviewed. The reason it was listed as in 1.1, is that there was improved code folding in 1.1
As mentioned in other threads, we are working on improving the SQL and PL/SQL parsing for a future release and once that's in place, the code insight, folding etc will be improved.
I can't comment on the other link you have as it does not appear to be working.

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.

I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature, the photo is there. Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature the picture is there. Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

What system and iPhoto version are you running?
If your're using iPhoto 9 or later Command (right) - click on the photo in the search window and select Show Event in the Contextual menu.
That will take you to the event where the photo is.

Premiere Pro CC Feature Request: Shortcut for 'Close Other Timeline Panels'

I'm about to post a feature request, but wanted to see if anyone else is interested in this request too. Adobe told me that getting support on the forum first is a good way to push the request through.
Here's the very simple FR:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Keyboard Shortcut for 'Close Other Timeline Panels'
How would you like the feature to work?
It was a great touch to add this contextual menu item to Premiere Pro CC, but it's a little clunky without being able to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
It's usage would simply close every other Timeline Panel except the active one upon pressing the shortcut.
The default could be something not currently in use like Ctrl+Cmd+W (since CMD+W closes the active panel), but customisable in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel.
Why is this feature important to you?
This is something I have to do very frequently while editing, and since I (and many others) edit largely with the keyboard, a shortcut would be very useful and speed up workflow just a tiny bit.
Anyone else interested in this (admittedly fairly boring) feature request, let me know!
Thanks!

Thanks for the support and video Kevin!
cscooper2013: I totally agree with you, I can't see any reason why any action should be exluded from having a shortcut. I've submitted this simple request because I feel like it's more likely to get done on it's own.
Maybe make a separate FR for that?

Timeline window - Feature Request

Attention FCPx Developers!
-- Please create a View option to hide the Events window entirely, along with the option to Maximise the Timeline editing Window. Most of my timeline editing work does not require viewing the Events window. It is a waste of screen space, when I need much more area for working on clips in the Timeline.
This would make a HUGE difference!
Thanks
Geoff

Thanks for the replies.
The triangle button to the left only hides the list of event folders, not the selected event folder. Please explain further if yours does something mine doesn't. I am using FCPx 10.0.2
Regards
Geoff

IOS 7 feature request: Option for home button to home not folder.

IOS 7 feature request: Option for home button to home not folder. Maybe for some this workflow is good but not for me. To many clicks. At least give the option to have my home button take me to my home page. 9 times out of 10 that's where I want to go. Not back to my folder.

I would like to display a Thunderbird email folder as a timeline of events. How can i do this?

The view of a particular folder is controllable but I have not found the ability to display the emails as a timeline of events (sends/receives). I read that an extension exists but cannot find it. How do I do this?
Outlook has this ability.

That looks similar to the display offered by the [http://threadvis.github.io/ ThreadVis] add-on mentioned above. For calendars, there is also [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/timeline/ Timeline].

Feature Request: Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request. I've wanted to see this one for a while. If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse. I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation. A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
Moust Back Button = "BACK"
ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
ENTER opens a folder.
ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
F2 Renames a folder
ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
ESC cancels the renaming operation.
Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context. (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor. ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor. ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers. When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect. It's muscle memory, if not intuitive. I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence). And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
Preference:
checkbox: Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
checkbox: Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin. Of course that doesn't work. And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too. I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER. Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should.
I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr. However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.

NMT - Thoughts, Feature Requests & a Question - No...

After using Nokia Multimedia Transfer for over a day now with my N97 I am very happy with the software, it's a very good piece of software that looks at home on a Mac. I initially had problems with my mp3 collection not having embedded album artwork (this is the fault of iTunes not NMT) but have solved this by converting my mp3 collection to AAC (iTunes plus) and now have embedded album art.
The image transfer works but it just dumps all of the transferred images into an iPhoto structure that is not visible by the phone and as a result all of the images appear in the download folder of the image browser. This is not very practical when you have a lot of photos and it would be nice if NMT could duplicate the organisation of images in iPhoto (ie events, albums and folders). After all, you spend a lot of time organising your images in iPhoto and don't want to have manually repeat the process on your phone.
In another post I found a link to NMT feature requests that had been posted by a Nokia employee but I'm unable to find this link again. Does anybody have the link? If so could you post it to this topic?
The features I would like in NMT are:
The ability to duplicate the organisational structure in iPhoto (ie events, albums and folders)
Transfer of keywords/tags from iPhoto to the phone
Nokia, Great work on Nokia Multimedia Transfer!
Keep it coming for us Mac users (including an iSync plugin for the N97)
Nokia N97 (RM-507) v 22
iPhone 4 (Coming Soon) - Lemon N97 - SE - Nokia 8210 - Nokia 7710 - Nokia 5100

I am very agree with the most you talk.
But since the last update, the synchronization with iPhoto loose all the improvements done before with my N95.
1) The Delete after transfer do not work.
2) Photos deleted from the selected album in iPhoto, are not in the phone.
3) The phone never again is identified as a camera. And imports the files as a folder.
Any suggestion?

When app is opened from a folder three or four pages into apps list, we hope the screen can go back to that spot when the app is closed (sadly it uses active frames at the moment)

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.

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)

- ability to choose deletion of an email on handset only
- desktop software working with all older BB's allowing drag and drop type of transferring data, contacts etc. (BB link doesn't recognize my old Storm)
- auto power on/off
- contacts syncing with yahoo & Outlook (almost two weeks trying to work around it and no luck)

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 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?

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
Device
*nothing yet*

Feature request / Feedback

First off, WebOS is absolutely hands down the best mobile OS ever. I have an iPhone and an Android ICS tablet. But WebOS is still the best.
I love my Touchpad, and if Pre3s had more apps and weren't so expensive online I would totally buy one and replace my iPhone 4S.
Anyways, a couple feature requests for WebOS, and whoever else wants to add to this thread, I'm sure we can get some great ideas.
So yeah, First off:
Calendar- It would be great to be able to set a default view. Personally I like Month, so the default is pretty annoying.
Calendar- For some reason the auto correct won't pop up the menu to add a word to the dictionary when making an event, a weird bug lol.
Browser- Have a way to detect Captcha so that the auto correct doesn't try to correct whatever the captcha wants you to type.
Browser- When watching flash videos full screen it locks to one orientation, so you end up flipping the tablet around sometimes, there's got to be a way to correct this.
General- I have a lot of stuff on my 32GB Touchpad, and the 90% warning gets quite annoying, especially since 2.5GB left is plenty for the OS and other stuff.
Auto correct/Dictionary- If there could be a way for the OS to detect words that are missing a space and just auto correct that rather than thinking of it as a wrong word that would be good too. I'm constantly missing the space bar and hitting the bezel of the screen for some reason, even with using the largest keyboard.
Keyboard- If there was a way to make the keyboard transparent with a variable level that would be badass.
Other than that, WebOS is pretty solid. And of course I'm running the latest 3.0.5, keep you the good work! And I can't wait for HP to start building hardware again, I'm sure it will be better the second time around even though its pretty awesome this time too.
