Feature requests: block outgoing SMS, unlink cell

I'd love to know how to either submit this as a feature request to Apple, find out how to "fix" it myself, now, or discover how to get Apple to pay my unwanted text messaging costs...
I see, now that I've upgraded to ios 6, that my cell phone's number (I'm on an iPhone 4s) is tied to iMessage.
It would seem, then, that (because I cannot really count on Verizon's SMS block to work, all the time), this may cause me to start getting spam messages from people who are able to discover my phone # ?
Is there any way to NOT link my cell phone number to my iMessaging? It's NOT listed in my Apple ID profile, but it is entered and checked, on my phone, in iMessage settings.
Those who I want to iMessage me know my apple ID. Those are the only messages I want to receive.
In addition, Apple, please come up with a way for those of us who do not text (yes, we exist) and who have attempted to get our providers to block ALL (incoming AND outgoing) texts from our phones, to at least block outgoing SMS via your software.
If anyone has any workarounds for me, on this, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
Em

You cannot stop iMessage from associating your number with your account. But, you do not have to use that number as your displayed ID on sent messages. Just setup an alternate email address under callerID and use that (I use my @me.com address as my Caller ID, since I really never use it for anything else anyway).
Note too, that any message sent to your phone number would go through your carriers SMS system anyway, unless specifically sent from another iOS devices. Most spam emails do not originalte from an iOS device, so iMessage really has little to do with actual spam texts (which are generally sent from computer servers using your [email protected] address anyway). Your carriers blocks should continue to catch those.
iMessages only work from an iOS device to another iOS device, which does not absolutely mean that there will never be spam iMessage texts, but I'd think they would be few and far between.

BBM feature request: Blocking broadcast messages

I've searched this forum and (surprisingly) not found any references to what is possibly the most annoying "feature" that RIM has introduced since I've owned a berry. By providing the broadcast function in the newer versions of Messenger, my berry is now subject to the same stupid, irrelevant, inane and/or unoriginal jokes/rumours/prayer request-type junk mail that I strenuously guard my email inbox against. However, while I can set up filters and rules to block such unwanted email messages, there are no such controls present in BBM and the only way to effectively counter repeat offenders is to delete them from your contact list, which is a sledgehammer vs nut solution, to say the least.
In my list of contacts, there are certain individuals who regularly send out such broadcast messages and then there are others who are thoroughly irritated by them, like myself, but then compound the situation by sending out aggravated, ill-tempered broadcasts complaining about previous messages. When you have a couple hundred contacts, it really can get quite ridiculous at times on days when a popular joke or meme is making the rounds.
So, I would like to request that the BBM dev team seriously investigate adding a "Block Broadcasts" option - ideally on a per-contact basis, but I would settle for an all-or-nothing solution as I'm willing to sacrifice the 1% of useful messages I get if it spares me the disruption of the other 99%. If my own contact list is anything to go by, I'm not the only one who would be hugely grateful for this to be implemented as swiftly as possible, or am I the only grinch in the building?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, I've started doing that lately as well, but it's not an ideal solution. Thank you for the email address; I'd been going through the site and trying to find the official feedback mechanism without success.

Feature request - when the SMS message contains a phone number, to show the name when it is my contacts

that feature was in earlear ios (than ios 7)

Hello - sorry to hear that, we'd be happy to help! I just opened a ticket for you at help.behance.net (which is the place you should always go first when you need help with a Behance or ProSIte related matter). You should have received an email from us there with next steps.

Feature Request - Make Outgoing Message in Garage Band

I want to be able to pre-record an outgoing message in Garage Band and then upload it to the phone to use as my custom outgoing message.
That would be cool and sound good.

That's probably information you should get from the manufacturer of your telephone.

Let's use this thread to list BlackBerry10 OS feature requests. 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 let's keep it to feature requests with simple short statements and comments, in this manner:
1. Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
2. Personal distribution groups Address Book

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)

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)

IPhone feature request

FYI... I sent the below to Apple feed back, I know everyone has their own preferences so please send them feed back. We need to continually hit them with feed back so that they notice the consumers request and hopefully expedites some type of update/resolution, as they do not constantly monitor these forums. Again, these are my preferences feel free to give them feedback with yours.
www.apple.com/feedback
Apple,
I am very disappointed that basic features that are standard on most cell phones were not incorporated in the iPhone (and this is the latest technology).
Please, the phone is great, but for it to be truly effective, please forward the below suggestions to the appropriate team and provide us some feedback in regards to what and when we can expect changes. I would love to be included in any product or beta testing w/ this phone, how can I become more involved from a consumers perspective?
1. Voicemail: It's nice to see the visual voice mail, but it would be great if we had an option to use our pass code to get into that screen. As it is right now, if I call my VM I get prompted for my pass code, but if I walk away from my phone for a second while in the office or if I let someone make a call, anyone can just go and listen to my visual voicemail.
2. Text messages:
A. Nice if the keyboard would rotate to the side when texting, with an option to have a more spaced out keyboard or standard keyboard choice while in the 180 view
B. Ability to text multiple contacts
C. Ability to send pictures via text messages
D. Ability to FORWARD a text message. Should have the option to forward one message bubble or the whole conversation if we choose.
E. The text message log is very nice, but we should have an option to delete a message bubble w/ out deleting the entire log, if this option was made available, we would also need to be able to lock a message bubble or an entire conversation
F. Security code option to access text messages
G. Ability to RESEND a text message. Should have the option to resend one message bubble or the whole conversation if we choose.
H. Ability to Draft a text message
I. Ability to email a text message conversation
J. Copy and paste message bubbles
G. The option not to have the text messages preview
3. Recording Video: I have 8 gigs of space; it would be nice if the phone could support recording a video
4. Recording Conversations: I have 8 gigs of space, it would be nice if I could record a phone conversation so that if I'm getting directions or other information I may be given over the phone (if I'm driving), I could record it and listen back later. Also w/ unlimited time to record based on your storage capacity
5. Photos:
A. The ability to create folders and move pictures accordingly
B. The ability to rotate pictures
C. The ability to text a picture (not just email)
6. Security:
A. When phone is locked, have the option not to see a preview of an incoming text message. Defeats the purpose of the phone being locked.
B. the OPTION to be prompted for your pass code with in certain areas of the iPhone such as visual voicemail, SMS messages, Photos, contacts, etc. If I lend my phone to someone to make a call or let them check it out, I don't want them to be able to go anywhere on my phone unrestricted. I would be a nice option to have.
7. Email:
A. Save email attachments
B. Copy and paste
C. A personal email w/ ATT that is sent directly to our phone and does not require us to wait for emails to download such as w/ AOL or Yahoo.
D. Ability to set a download time
8. Internet
A. Right click and download from the web. For example Audio or Video files
B. The option for Flash or Java to run
C. Copy and paste
9. Volume
A. Louder volume for ringer and alarms
B. Louder volume for conversations and speaker
10. Playing videos: It would be nice if other video formats could play on the iPhone
11. Contacts:
A. The ability to type a name to search for a contact
12. Text Corrections:
A. The option to turn off this feature, if I am sending a text message, I'll most likely be using short hand or abbreviations and do not need to be prompted every other word w/ a correction suggestion.
13. Recent Calls:
A. The ability to erase certain recent/missed calls with out having to delete the entire list
14. YouTube:
A. When I'm doing a search and get a list of videos and have to leave that area of the phone for what ever reason, when I come back the list is gone and I have to do the search all over. It would be nice if the search list stayed when navigating around the iPhone
B. Allow us to save videos to the phone from YouTube
PC Windows XP Pro

Please take your criticisms and suggestions to the new created iPhone feedback page.

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

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.

SSLSocket to support NIO - feature request voting

Hello All,
I know there were many discussions here regarding this subject.
I've seen the SSLEngine solution for the problem... But I didn't like it since it is too complicated.
For my understanding SSLSocket inherits Socket so an application that can handle Sockets should be able to handle SSLSocket without writing a specific code besides the factory.
NIO allows Socket to be none blocking... So why SSLSocket which is a Socket does not?
If I write a Web server in Java, why should I deal with none SSL and SSL connections in a different way?
I recently wrote one threaded NIO server and was amazed that I could not use SSL with the same implementation.
I've opened a feature request for Java, but they told me to gain support for this subject here before they will consider it...
As I understand I can re-implement SSLSocket to use SSLEngine and support NIO with blocking and none blocking support... But I think Sun should do it.
One caveat is to make sure that the SSLSocket HandshakeCompletedListener should be called by a daemon thread, so that it will not block other sockets while certificate verification occur.
Of course when I refer to SSLSocket I also refer to SSLServerSocket.
Can you please comment regarding this issue... Every comment will be welcomed!
Best Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev

nah, I am very glad they released an engine separate from transport allowing encryption on any transport.
I am also working on an abstraction of nio that you may be interested in if you don't want to do the security yourself......it is here...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/channelmanager
Right now, it only contains the api, but there are 3 implementations behind it right now with 3 to be added.
1. Basic implementation that does just nio
2. Secure implementation that implements same api and uses implementation 1
3. Packettizer implementation which puts things in payloads with headers and footers
4. (to be added) Threadpool implementation allowing a threadpool to be inserted in the stack somewhere
5. (to be added) TestProxy implementation allowing exxceptions to be thrown on purpopse to test a system on a bad network....can test failure on bind, connect, read, write, etc....everything.
6. denial of service layer.
7. Exception catch layer to protect #1 and #4 mainly from bad clients that throw exceptions back to the channelmanager.
Each one of these layers (2 - 4) implements the same api and uses the same api so 2 -4 are all proxies. You can reorganize the proxies as you want.
The secure one is almost done. Any comments on the api will be welcome.
thanks,
dean

Here's my wishlist for ACR. I'll list the feature first and then in a separate section afterwards, I'll explain why I want it.
1) Shadow/Highlights
2) Multi-instance and modeless behavior for ACR so I can truly have ACR open, Bridge open, PS open and work in all three and even open another ACR window.
3) The ability to open one image into PS and keep the rest going in ACR when you have multiple images open in ACR.
4) The point locator feature for curves like curves has in PS so you can find out what tone area on the curve a given area in the photo is, just by clicking/dragging over an area on the photo.
5) White balance assist to make it easier to get skin tones right when there are no good grayscale references in the photo.
6) An ACR pref to have a suffix automatically added to each filename when it goes into PS so after editing it in PS, I can just hit Ctrl-S and not have to manually add a suffix onto every single image I edit in CS.
7) A drag/drop bin for recently used saved settings in ACR and shortcut keys for cycling through a preview of those settings (described in more detail below).
8) A pref to allow the Save Images folder in the Save dialog in ACR to default to the directory of the RAW files rather than the last directory used.
9) More sophisticated sharpening in ACR (like smart sharpening).
10) Ability to set label or rating when only one image open in ACR.
11) Ability to delete and close when only one image open in ACR.
12) An easier way to see how a rotated image looks. There is no way in ACR to see the straight version of an image you've rotated slightly.
13) Shortcut keys to cycle through saved curve settings.
Here's the explanation for why I want each of these:
1) Shadow/Highlights. A significant percentage of my images need no other adjustments in PS except shadow/highlights and it's a big workflow savings to be able to finish a picture in ACR instead of having to take it into PS.
2) Multi-instance and modeless. The CS2 behavior is better than it was before because you can set it up for Bridge to host ACR and still be able to use PS. But, I often open many images in ACR and the current design still forces me to serially finish all those images in ACR before I do anything else becuase I'm blocked from going back to either Bridge or PS (depending upon who's hosting ACR) and I can't open any other images in ACR. This forces a serial workflow when sometimes I'd like to be able to be in the middle of one workflow (a hundred images open in ACR), but go do something else in Bridge and PS for a short period of time. I can't do that today.
3) The ability to open one image from ACR into PS while keeping the other images in ACR. When I see the preview in ACR, this is often the first time I've seen my images at any decent size. I often find I want to take a few into PS just to see how well they fix up with certain changes or to see if they benefit from things I can do in PS and can't in ACR, without discarding all the other images I have in ACR at the time. So, again, I am forced to serially finish all the image I have in ACR before I can take any into PS. I'd like to be able to open the selected images in PS and keep the others in ACR.
4) The point locator feature that PS has in the curves dialog is very valuable for finding out where on the curve a given feature in the photo is. I'd like that feature in the PS curves.
5) White balance assist for skin tones. One of the hardest things in ACR is getting the white balance right for skin tones when there is no easy gray reference in the photo. I don't know how it would work (I think this is an area for your invention and cleverness), but I'd like some sort of white balance assist that helps me pick a white balance that leads to a pleasing skin tone. I'd be willing to tell ACR where the skin tone is by pointing at it.
6) I add a suffix of "-edited" to ALL images that I open in PS from ACR. That means I have to type that suffix on every image when I hit the Save command in PS. I'd like a preference in ACR to automatically append a suffix onto the filename when it goes into PS to save me that typing on every single image. I've even tried to figure out if I could write a script in PS to do this for me (if file extension is a RAW file extension when user hits save, then add default suffix to the filename before Save dialog comes up), but I haven't figured out whether it can be done via script or not. I know that others save their PSD or JPEG files to a different directory than their RAW files (I keep all of mine in the same directory so this isn't an issue for me), so I imagine they'd like the ability to specify a default relative path also to save having to point every PSD they save in PS to a new directory.
7) Drag/drop bin for RAW settings. In a workflow of processing 200-800 RAW files, I'd like the ability to easily and temporarily save a small number of RAW file settings (10 would do). I know you can do it in the pull right menu in ACR today, but that's too much typing and clicks to make it worth it. I'm looking for something that allows me to pick a bunch of files from a shoot, identify a representative "sunny" shot and drop it's settings into a bin that I quickly label sunny. Then, when other sunny shots come up, rather than having to scroll around to find that image or go back to bridge to find that image, I just drag it out of the bin an drop it on the selected images. I don't want it to persist globally because then they pile up and I have to clean them up. I do need them to persist between ACR sessions as long as Bridge or PS is still running because I often process my RAW files in many ACR sessions. The whole point is to make an easy place for me to deposit a small number of saved settings so I can easily (very few mouse clicks or keystores) use them again while processing the same shoot. It's all about speeding up the workflow and letting me re-use work I've done earlier in the workflow. In my experience, this happens most often for white balance and curves since I'm more likely to tweak exposure on nearly every shot anyway.
8) When I hit Save Images in ACR, it remembers the previously set directory. In my workflow, I want it to default to the directory of the first image I'm saving. The way it is now, it is NEVER the right directory so I always have to change it. It could be smart enough so my normal workflow never has to change it. Even better, I'd get to set a pref that was a relative path from where the first image is located. So, when I'm saving JPEGs, I could have a default path of ./JPEG (a sub-directory under where the RAW files are located). Other people would want ../JPEG (a sub-directory at the same level as where the RAW files are stored).
9) In the spirit of getting as much of my work done in ACR as possible, I'd like to see a unification of the sharpening functionality so that ACR can do smart sharpening with all the same features. That would again keep many of my images out of PS and drastically improve my workflow.
10) I'd like the ability to set a label or rating when there's only one image open in ACR. Because you can do this when you have multiple images open in ACR, I'm programmed to set this in ACR, but that workflow programming is busted when I only have one image open.
11) I'd like the ability to delete an image from ACR when there's only one image open in ACR. Just like with labels and ratings described above, I'm programmed to want to delete a ruined image when I see it up close in ACR and determine it's no good. In this case, I think I'd like to just hit the trash can icon and have the ACR window close and have the image deleted in one single step.
12) When I straighten an image in ACR, there's no good way to see how the rotated version looks at full size. All you get to see is a thumb in ACR (if you have multiple images open) or a thumb in Bridge. To see whether it rea

Feature Request "Copy of column-name" in 2.1.1 not working

Scanning all the feature requests added to 2.1.1, i came across to the following one:
Title: Copy of column-name
Description:
after getting the query result it would be greate if we can mark the column-name and the copy the name of the column to the clipboard for further use (e.g. select colum_name from table ...)
Comment:
Try 2.1.1. You can drag a selection of columns to the worksheet. If not, then please provide more detail in future request.
Status: In Release 2.1.1 ;
Now i've tried few times to drag the column from the query result into the worksheet but it doesn't work. The only thing which works is to change the columns orders in the grid result.
Anybody experience the same result?
Dani

@Raghu
I'm already aware of this and it's working but the downside is that it copies the cell value too which i don't see the point.
If i want the cell values than i can export or copy them.
The request description was different though.
@K
Unfortunately you can't drag the column name from the navigator or result grid. Would be nice if it would.
Is anything else i can do to get this fix or are you gonna raise a CQ for this?
Regards,
Dani

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!

EPrint Portal Feature Request - Discarded Messages Email Address

When a user has the ePrint Center site configured to only allow printing from allowed email addresses, the site displays emails that have been discarded because they are not on the approved sender list.
Feature Request:
Please consider changing the listing of discarded messages to include the sender's email address in addition to the subject you already show. Even better, have an option to click on the email address to add it to the approved senders list.
While one might wonder how you wouldn't know the sender's address, in my case, my wife would send recipes from a recipe site and they would be blocked. To get around this (other than turning off the address list feature), we can send them first to our own email address to find the sending email but what I mentioned would simplify things. Users' technology patience can vary and while I am quite patient for the sake of technology and gadgetry my wife is less patient which, in this case, led to her abandoning the feature.

Good news.
To the top right is a link that says View Job History.
Click on this link and it will show the e-mail address.
I confirmed this by logging into my eprintcenter.com account, changing to allowed senders only and then sent an e-mail from a blocked e-mail address.
The short summary did not show the e-mail address, but the full history did show the specific e-mail address.
You can then copy and paste this e-mail address into your list.
Additionally, changing from allowed to everyone and then back will re-add all recent e-mail addresses that successfully printed though it won't add anything that hasn't recently printed.

RV320 and RV325 Feature Request

Hello Cisco Small Business Community.
We are a Cisco Select Partner and have started using RV320's and RV325's with our customers. As we are implementing these deployments, I have noticed there are a few features I would like to see added to the product. I've listed them below.
Urgently Needed Feature Requests:
1. Allow a subnet mask in the 255.255.0.0 range for LAN VLAN's. Many of our customers use a 10.x.x.x range for subnets and many use a 16 bit subnet mask to give them plenty of room to create both static and dynamic assignments. For example, subnet 10: 10.10.0.0/16 with a range of 10.10.10.1-254 for dhcp dynamic leases, and 10.10.0.1-254 for servers, and 10.10.1.1-254 for printers, and 10.10.2.1-254 for networking gear, etc. None of these networks have more than 254 devices on them, but the extra IP range availability is nice because it allows us to help keep their networks organized.
2. The ability to create service groups for firewall and NAT rule creation. There are often times when we need to group several services together and create firewall and NAT rules for them. This would simplify setup and implementation. An example of this feature on Cisco Small Business Products was on the ISA550.
3. The ability to have the RV320/325 to serve as the NTP server for the network. Most small business customers need NTP server functionality, and the logical place to stick this service for many of these networks is on the firewall.
4. The ability to specify any RFC DHCP option. We have some need to be able to specify several additional DHCP options than the ones hard coded into the firewall dhcp server pages. In addition to the options the DHCP servers on the RV320/325 already includes, the common ones that we often use are "Time Server," "Log Server," and "Time Offset."
6. The ability to specify a domain search list and for DHCP clients.
7. The option to register DHCP clients with the specified DNS server (including the on-box DNS Forwarder).
8. The ability to tweak Firewall Session Settings (like in the RV220w and ISA550) and TCP/UDP Timeouts. If full control is not an option, then may four choices such as: "Conservative" -- keeps TCP/UDP connections alive for the longest period of time, "Normal" -- normal TCP/UDP Timeouts, High Latency -- Keep TCP/UDP connections alive for a longer period of time.
9. Additional Diagnostic/status screen information: -- CPU usage for 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes, -- number of Firewall Sessions/States, --Firewall Temperature, -- Real Time and RRD based traffic graphs for 15 minutes, 4 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, and 1 week,
10. The ability to pull Firmware Updates directly from the Cisco support site onto the firewall.
Nice to Have Features:
1. VRRP on both WAN and LAN interfaces.
2. The ability to answer DNS helper requests. What I mean is to be able to set the on-box DHCP server up to serve as the DHCP server for non-connected subnets
3. SSH and Telnet command line access for basic troubleshooting (top, pftop, nbtstat, reboot, etc.)
4. The ability to backup and restore parts of the Config file, e.g. just the VPN setup or just the firewall rules
5. OSPF Dynamic Routing Support
With some of the advanced features, I wouldn't mind needing to buy a perpetual "advanced" license for an extra $50 to $100 (e.g. for VRRP, OSPF, SSH access, etc.).
I hope to hear some responses back from Cisco Product Support on these items.

Hello vreid47362,
I'm quite a bit surprised to see that we have both the same idea: provide our feedbacks to cisco to increase our product usage.
Here's mine list:
Custom services
- I was a bit surprised when I have seen for the first time the embedded services list : there is some that I'm sure that nobody use (HTTP and HTTPS secondary), and some usefull network protocols which are missing : NTP, NNTP, NFS, SAMBA, BONJOUR, SSDP, etc.
It could be interesting to start router with those embedded services.
- An option to select both the TCP and UDP services could be very usefull : for now, when we add a service, we have to specify protocol in the following list : TCP, UDP, IPV6.
If I wants to add a rule for NFS without take care of TCP and UDP, I have to set up :
- two custom services, one for UDP, one for TCP
- two custom rules, one for NFS TCP, one for NFS UDP.
If we have two networks or VLAN, we have to define 4 rules...
- Increase the custom service description length could be helpfull : for now it's a problem if we wants to add more than 11 characters.
- If we add a custom service by error, we are unable to remove the generated field : field say that it expect something. if we do not wants to loose previous fields set, we have to save it with false values, and delete after it. Just boring.
Setting up firewall rules for the first time
- The "View logs" button is located on the bottom of the log tab; if we wants to view logs, we have to scroll : it's very boring when we're setting up our rules : we have to go to the firewall tab, and if there is something wrong, we need to go to log tab and scroll.
If you add a shortcut to the log from the firewall rules tab could be very usefull.
Managing firewall rules on the time
- Be able to add a description of the rules defined could be helpfull : I've set all my rules now, but in few months when I'll come back to the interface, I'm not sure to understand all meaning. A description to explain the rule's object could be usefull.
- If we log something in the firewall logs and if we want to remove the a logging trace type, we have to pass on each rules we think it can log something. It could be interesting to view logging option from the grid: it'll help us to earn time.
- Be able to filter rules by VLAN, protocol, ports or the rule's logging state from the rules grid could be helpfull.
Double Wan management
- Add an autodetect feature for the available bandwith could be very helpfull : accoding with values detected, you can help to configure more easily the router
Double wan protocol binding and multiples VLAN
- When I set up the protocols binding configuration I'm was very boring to have to set up rules for all outgoing protocol rules a interface : for example, wants to set up all outgoing SMTP protocol on the WAN1 interface, we have to select SMTP and add 1.1.1.1 au 223.255.255.254. If we have multiples VLAN, we have to repeat this rule for each VLAN subnet mask…
Set up an option for all outgoing traffic could be very helpfull.
DHCP Subnet masks more than 255.255.255.x
Like vreid47362 said, I'm also interested in this feature: For now, subnet masks defined for the DHCP Vlan are provided from a preconfigured select box. If we wants to choose something other than those provided, we can't. It could be interesting to add own own subnet mask (like for example 255.255.0.0).
Kind regards
David
