Feature Request: use volume rocker for brightness

I find myself wishing I could adjust the screen brightness quickly using the rocker switch currently dedicated to volume. I seldom have need to adjust the volume, and if I did, it would also be helpful is that function could just be part of the open app, leaving the rocker switch to quickly adjust to changing light settings. (the auto brightness basically seems to have two settings: regular and slightly dimmer than regular)

Welcome to the forums, Tyrade. One of the first things to know is that we're all users here, just like yourself. While you may have a well-thought out feature request, posting it here goes nowhere.

FEATURE REQUEST: use type literal for primitive StoredMap creation

Mark, hello;
I suggest to incorporate into api classes like shown below to avoid boiler plate with primitive bindings;
the idea is to use TypeLiteral approach:
http://google-guice.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javadoc/com/google/inject/TypeLiteral.html
so you can instantiate like this:
// note the tail
          PrimitiveStoredMap<String, Integer> map = new PrimitiveStoredMap<String, Integer>(database) {};
thank you;

great! thanks for considering this;
still more ideas: add the "byte array primitive":
public class ByteArray {

     public byte[] getArray() {

               return Arrays.equals(this.array, that.array);
          return false;
     private int hashCode;
     @Override
     public int hashCode() {

Feature request - use same colors for joined tables

I brought two datasets into Power Map. Both have a shared segmentation dimension (joined in Power Pivot). Power Map doesn't pay attention to the fact that the tables are joined and does not use the same series colors. I have to manually adjust all
the colors (~2 dozen segments) which is painful and should not be necessary. Power Map should be smart and automatically use the same colors.

Feature request: Slideshow module support for video files

I'm very excited about your MTS support!
Feature request: Slide show module support for video files...
Say you have 10 takes to choose from. Are you able to almost like SLIDESHOW view the 10 clips full screen so you can decide, like a playlist? Or rate them as they play? It would also be great, like SLIDESHOW to be able to export a MP4 with a title, the 10 clips you are working with, and maybe add an end title and a song, just like SLIDESHOW.
I have found editing stills like this in slideshow far faster than in any other editing program.
Basically, I just need a fast means to view or export an MP4 of a set of video clips to review. You are almost there.
great job!!!
Max

I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

Using volume licence for Publisher 2007 with Publisher 2003

Hey everyone,
We have a Volume Licence for publisher 2007 but need to install publisher 2003 on a specific PC, I was wondering if we could use the same licence or if we need to purchase a new one.
Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
The rule is: a same user code is allowed to open two sessions concurrently. This is not changed. This function is for the need a user may need both session to complete certain tasks.
RSP has a new function to detect such case if the same B1 user are from two work stations. That is a sign to indicate this feature may be abused.
Thanks,

Feature request - Akima spline curves for vector graphics

Akima spline curves give drawing freedom, at least some kind
of interpolating spline curve where you can just simply lay the
points down and the curve follows along the points - I can't get
bezier curves to do what I want. It's like
Alice in wonderland using a flamingo for a mallet in a game
of croquet. unweildly.
Bezier Curves were introduced into Windows NT and all windows
NT family products after that. It
soon followed that all paint programs began including Bezier
Curves as a drawing method. Big
mistake. They should have introduced Akima spline curves into
Windows. I am not saying take
Bezier curves out - I am saying Add Akima Spline curves, or
the bettered (modified) version of
Akima Spline curves that doesn't react as much. At least some
type of interpolating spline curve
where you just lay the points down and the curve follows the
points.
Akima spline curves are cool. just put points along where you
want the curve. simple. you just
need more points around sharp edges, or you get a "ringing"
effect around that area. (See
discussion and visuals link).
part of the challenge of using Akima spline curves is that
the first 2 data points must be faked
or dropped. same goes with the last data point. this can be
taken care of with some simple
engineering tricks.

Feature Request - CSS code generation for advanced font - type options

Thanks to everyone for the amazing work done in Photoshop and Illustrator to enhance the ability to generate and use character and paragraph styles translated to CSS. The last two releases have brought designers something they could only dream of and talk about for the last decade, and now these tools are being delivered!
This request is to consider being able to use advanced character styles in Illustrator, such as X/Y percentage height/width of fonts, rotation or baseline shift to generate CSS for these options. As of this post, I haven't been able to find that CSS3 even supports these options, except possibly the 'font-stretch' rule, which does not appear to be supported yet in most browsers - see CSS Fonts Module Level 3 - W3C Candidate Recommendation, October 2013.
Sometimes, designers get very picky about wanting type to look just so, including making fonts look taller or wider in a design, although perhaps much to the horror of the original type designer
thanks very much,
Mark

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 - use native Windows file browsing dialog

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before. I wasn't able to find anything with a search in the forum, so I'll post it here.
An enhancement request for SQL Developer would be to have it use the native file browsing dialogs in Windows. I'm using Windows 7, and it would be nice to have a native Windows dialog pop up when I go to open or save a file, rather than the ugly (I think) default one, which must be a generic Java file browsing construct. The native dialog would allow it to include all the links to Windows 7 libraries, favorites, and other things like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. if those were installed.
I'd be curious to hear what others think about this idea.
Thanks,
Brian

At the risk of starting a Windows/Linux/Mac flame war, or pissing off Java developers, I'm not really into the whole Java write once, run anywhere approach. Particularly when it comes to look and feel. There are merits to cross-platform development when it comes to application functionality, but look and feel is a bit trickier. Windows has specific features that Windows users are used to seeing and using. Mac the same. Linux the same. I think this is especially true when it comes to dealing with the file system. So applications should adjust to the native environment nicely and not introduce elements that don't "fit in". Just MY $0.02. :-)
I'm not a Java developer, but IvanG pointed out that it SHOULD be pretty easy to invoke a native Windows dialog box from Java. That would be my choice.
Thanks!

Feature Request: Useful toStrings in Cookie and HttpServletResponse/Reques

Hi. It seems obvious to me that the Cookie.toString() should give the text representation of the Cookie as it will appear in the HTTP header. The reason that I need this is that Java does NOT support HttpOnly and I need to insert it into the Cookie manually. I can do this somewhat using HttpServletResponse.setHeader(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String value) except that I have a complex application with Cookies being set multiple times and there is no HttpServletResponse.getHeader(java.lang.String name) to allow me to read what'[s in the SET-COOKIE header, dynamically change it and write it back.
A reasonable implementation of HttpServletResponse.toString would allow me to do what I need to do also, but that alas also just shows the reference.
HttpOnly will not be the last custom HTTP cookie attribute or HTTP header and Java should give better support for dynamically managing HTTP headers.
I think that toStrings are a great idea, but it seems that as a general rule, useful toStrings have not been implemented in the Java libraries.

I would post the request here:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/

Feature request: Allow direct connections for contacts only

Hello, on Windows there is an option "Allow direct connections to contacts only" as described on http://en.kioskea.net/faq/32357-skype-hide-your-ip-from-people-who-are-not-on-your-contact-list. Many people including myself would like to see this feature implemented in the Linux client. There are solutions to protect the IP from resolvers like setting up proxies. However, the performance of free SOCKS-proxies is mostly very bad. VPNs with an appropriate bandwidth also cost an amount of money and additionally, it is difficult to only route Skype traffic through a VPN. Setting up a VM with Windows or WINE just to run Skype is an overkill as well. I consider it inconvenient that this feature is implemented on Windows while - in my opinion - mainly Linux users being aware of security might be in need for this feature. Therefore, I request to implement such a functionality into the Linux client. Kind regards from Germany

If you want to enable that feature on a Skype client that does not offer it in the GUI you would have to do it manually. You can follow the guidance here and the same information applies to the Linux client and any other client you have root or file-level access to. http://community.skype.com/t5/Modern-Windows-from-Windows/Windows-8-IP-Hiding/m-p/2876437/highlight/true#M19476 Linux path:/home/Username/.Skype/YourSkypeName/config.xml

Feature request: Using Nikon SDK to convert NEFs like Capture NX

Consensus has it, and my experience supports it, the Nikon Capture NX conversion from RAW is superior to Lightrooms (documented very well here also:
Bill0722, "Copy original TIFF to DNG and import?" #1, 28 Aug 2007 10:39 am ).
According to Nikon their SDK is available for free:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0504/05042203nikonnefresponse.asp
The salient points being:
"With the Nikon SDK, developers may design excellent and creative compatibility between the NEF and their software, all without compromising the integrity of the NEFs original concept, and ensuring that work done by the photographer during the picture taking process can be incorporated into the rendering of the image."
With that in mind I cannot see why Lightroom cannot use this SDK (at least as an optional alternative to their own) to convert Nikon NEF files with the same quality as Nikon Capture NX. It should also give the option of applying the camera settings to the conversion (as does Capture NX).
With that and an industrial strength noise reduction at noise ninja or neat image level, most of my Lightroom blues would be gone.
Thanks,
Håkon

>Consensus has it, and my experience supports it, the Nikon Capture NX conversion from RAW is superior to Lightrooms
Uh huh...ok, well, I would suggest that Nikon has spread an evil fog into into industry that says all of a sudden, Nikon has some magic understanding of the needs and desires of digital photographers (note, Canon is suffering from the same disease)...
Prior to the release of digital cameras. the only thing the camera makers were responsible for was to provide a reasonable light tight environment and to focus an aerial on the film plane of the camera. It was up to the film makers to figure out what photographers wanted and create emulsions that suited them.
Since about 1999-2000 all of a sudden the camera makers are the judge of what makes a good image? I don't think so bud....I think you've been drinking the Nikon (or Canon) Cool-Aid...
Forget Nikon's SDK...first of all, it's proprietary meaning ya gotta sign an agreement to let Nikon dictate the way images will look (very, very unlikely in light of Camera Raw/Lightroom development) and second of all, who is Nikon to try to dictate something they have no historical basis nor traditional understanding in?
Give me a camera with light tight capability with a really nice lens and let me shoot what I want and make it look the way I want it to look. Screw "camera looks"...

Feature Request: Third video output for script

It would be nice if VC allowed not only full screen output of the master video, but full screen outupt of the teleprompter while still maintaining control.
This would let somone be the talent, and someone be the director. If you run the teleprompter inf ull screen mode, it takes away the Director's screen.
It would mean a lot of memory and three video cards.
Other features: Ability to do more on the fly - such as run videos, sound, etc with hot keys, Video banks, etc. There are programs meant for church multi media that can do this (but can't chroma key, save video files, etc)

Great suggestion, I'll check 'em out. It also seems likely that somebody manufactures a FireWire-powered device that could do the job. I thought my old ADS PyroAV might work (Standard Def only, of course), but it only outputs a still picture of wherever Final Cut Pro's playhead was last parked. Crystal-clear video, but it essentially frame-stores and displays whatever still image it last "saw". Weird, huh?

Feature Request or another way of setting an Affiliate up or External Affiliate Software

One of the biggest problems with the Affiliate module, is its persistence
Feature Request -
Using Affiliates to market products and services is a huge business, but the BC system only caters for affiliates providing a link to a specific product (or possible the shop) and it only works if they follow that link and buy right there and then.
Even if the customers buys something under the affiliate link, if the customer returns to the shop a second time, without using the link, then any affiliate reference is lost. There is no persistence nor any link stored between the affiliate and customer.
Therefore the affiliate program does not work for any business that may use affiliates but does not use a Shopping cart. For example I am working on a Property site where professionals may refer clients to buy property, and receive a referral/affiliate fee. We need to track which customers are linked to a referrer/affiliate but there is no shop involved, although we would like to put the commission through as a manual order and track commission payments.
Suggestion: When a Customers uses an affiliate link to enter their details (or buy something from a shop for that matter), then the affiliate is stored permanently on the customer’s record, and can be used for subsequent purchases/orders.
This means that if the customer returns to the shop directly and buys something, then the system can use the stored affiliate link to make sure the affiliate gets paid.
Secondly other business can now add an Order Manually for the client, and the affiliate will get paid. This will open up BC to other businesses that use affiliate systems without a shopping cart. Especially useful for the Services industry.
I also think by doing this BC can remove the problem of requiring a seamless gateway.
Another Way?
Any feature request like this may take time to be set up, if it is set up at all.
Can anyone advise if they have managed to get around the problem and how. Thanks
External Affiliate Software -
Has anyone used an external affiliate software program, and integrated it with BC and if so, which one and was it any good?
Thank you

That is correct: SLBL only works on SMTP addresses.
If I understand correctly, the user wants to prune thier Block List by removing addresses that are not actively sending spam. This is not easy, but it is something that the user can do themselves:
The user can log directly into the Spam Quarantine to see what mail has been stopped on thier behalf recently. They would then access their SLBL through the Spam Quarntine to see what addresses they have configured for Blocking. For each address listed, they would Search their Spam Quarntine for emails from that address. They would then review the content of those emails to determine if they stilll want to block the specific address or not.
I hope this helps!
