FEATURE REQUESTS: Border Panel and Transparency slider for bg color

Some points:
1) "Color" by itself is a dubious panel name. Color of what? Please use the existing CSS property names wherever possible, and separate out background color and border color.
2) Transparency sliders need to be enabled for all color pickers everywhere in the UI. RGBA everywhere, always. No hex colors, ever, please. There's just no reason anymore.
2) Border sides need to be separately tweenable in the UI. I've posted about this before. Here's a bit more detail: Use a 1-to-4 toggle button at the top of the Borders Panel to go back and forth between a simplified and a four-separate-borders interface. Something similar to what you've done in the Corners Panel. I've mocked up the panel UI below.
4) Hire me as junior interface designer on this program.

@Sarah:
You're right about selecting opacity in the color picker. That's probably cleaner. But it doesn't bother me in the slightest that a border with an alpha is rendered over the background-color. That's CSS. (Just use a bg color of "none" if that's what you need.)
In response:
1) Please don't use CSS "outline" for any heavy lifting in Edge. The interoperability problems are currently massive. For one thing, Firefox draws outlines outside of any box-shadow, contrary to the spec. This bug has festered for three years now, and shows no sign of ever being fixed:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480888
The other big limitation is that outline edges are always square, and can't be rounded. To create what you're calling an "external" border just use a box shadow with no blur. This is a standard practice, and renders well. Whatever you do, please don't make a panel called "borders" that actually creates box-shadows. The answer is education and evangelism, not mislabelling things.
2) Borders don't change the external dimensions of an element if you use border-box globally. Positioning doesn't get the least bit "out of whack." There shouldn't be any trepidation there. This is probably how Edge should work across the board, for all elements, especially if the math of box-sizing is getting you and your engineering team down For folks who aren't hip to this yet, see this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/tUVM7/
and this explanation of the property:
http://paulirish.com/2012/box-sizing-border-box-ftw/
Borders and Box-shadow panels need to be in the "frontlog", not the backlog.

Thanks! Style management and reusable styles are a HUGE feature set coming to Reflow...won't be there immediately but very soon. Thanks for the input.

[Feature request] JClient Panel wizard

Subject: [Feature request] JClient Panel wizard
Wouldn't it be a good idea if it were possible to specify (in the JClient Panel/Form Wizard) which attributes of a ViewObject should have some form of LOV attached to them? (e.g. a popup LOV window or a pulldown list)
I know that afterwards I can replace some of the generated textfields with comboboxes and add buttons which popup LOV windows.. but I still feel that the wizard should be able to generate these things itself, as this functionality is clearly very common.
This should also ease the customization of a multi-record detail panel (when it uses a table). AFAIK, setting a combobox as a celleditor for a tablecolumn can only be done through explicit coding and not in the UI editor.
It would also be nice to be able to specify that certain attributes should be interpreted as some sort of boolean attributes (most obviously: 1 = true and 0 = false with a NUMBER type). This can be done in the ViewObject attribute properties dialog (it's fairly similar to setting a model on a checkbox). This way, you should be able to specify in the JClient Panel wizard that 'boolean attributes' should have a checkbox/two radio buttons/a pulldown list associated with them.
In short, I see lots of possibilities to enhance the JClient Panel Wizard.
Any comments on this one? :)

Arno - thanks for your comments - its always good see that people are pushing the boundaries.
The good thing is your suggestions are something we are currently discussing (infact last night!!) as something we would like to see in a later release of the products.
For example BUG:1622093 Specialised editor for Grid Control (JTable) this would make it easier to allow you to define (e.g. that cell should have a combo box as the editor).
We are also tracking BUG:1643727 where you would be able to define a Control in the Control Hints on BC4J and so when you generate the UI it will use this hint for creating the control.
Of course, part of our discussion is to prioritise WHEN we will be able to do this and while we can't promise this in the next release I do see the importance and agree this would give us a really productive development experience.
Do you think these 2 bugs cover your requirements???
Thanks

p.s. I've added this mail thread to the bugs to indicate the "business need" for thise feature. Thanks again and please suggest more!!

How to add a navigation Panel and Zoom Slider Bar using Java API

Hello,
I am using Mapviewer Java bean as I have to use Oracle Mapviewer in Java Stanalone application.Please can anyone tell me how to add a Navigation panel and Zoom Slider in Java API. I found the API s for same in Java Script but not in Java.Kindly help.
I am using Oracle Mapviewer 11g.

I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Feature Request: Photo Borders and Copying in Books

These are a few related feature requests. If anyone knows of a better way to do this with the current software, then I would love to hear it.
When making books I like to have borders around the pictures of various colors (usually black or white) and various widths. In Apeture this is a pain to do. I fiqured out that I could fake it by making a picture box and inserting a solid black picture into it and then creating a smaller picture box in front of it for my real photo. This might be tolerable if I could at least then select both picture boxes and their contents to copy and then onto other pages as a template that I can resize as needed.
Ideally I would love to be able to copy and paste multiple elements on a book page and I would like to be able to define photo borders. Any chance of seeing this in the near future?
Thanks,
Sean

Thanks for the reply. You are right, the cut and paste works fine, it just didn't work the way I expected it to. Maybe that is a GUI design thing to consider. I was actually trying to click and drag a selection box like you might do in iPhoto to select multiple images that are right beside each other. This doesn't work at all in Aperture, but your method does work just fine.
I agree with the other poster that some additional features like:
Photo Borders
Export to PSD (with layers)
Custom page sizes and Custom themes
would be very nice and start to make that tool truley useful.
Thanks for a really nice product. Keep up the good work and stay ahead of the pack.

Create a Transparent Slide for Lightroom

I have found some questions relating to transparency, but they do not provide the answer to this question.
First, let me establish what I want to do as there may be another way of doing it.
I want the Intro screen in a Slideshow to contain some background or introductory text. The Intro screen may be customized by editing the identity plate, but only to provide text on one line - not very useful. The Intro screen consists of the Identity Plate against the background created jointly with the Backdrop controls.
So, I thought this would be easily solved by creating a 'photo' in PS, with the text I require on a transparent background. Then import as another slide. Easy Peasy.
No, not quite, as Saving As... in PS as JPG does not work, TIF offers to save transparency but LR does not honour the promise. I tried GIF, but LR doesn't even 'see' GIFs.
I am sure that Adobe, in the 4.1-th generation of LR, will not have made this impossible, so someone will know....
Platform>> Lightroom 4.1, Photoshop CS5 v12, Windows 7/64 Pro
Message was edited by: DenAtAdobeUK to add platform details

The main problem I have with LR's Slideshow module is lack of support for DVD/BD disk authoring and mediocre music track support. I like to create 1080p HD slideshows that will play on my Blu-Ray player hooked up to a 52" Samsung HD TV. Here's my procedure:
1) Create slideshow in LR using a custom 16:9 widescreen template and image files custom cropped to 16:9 aspect ratio. Add text box using caption metadata unique to each image file. Add small Identity Plate with copyright.
2) From LR Slideshow module Slideshow> Export Slideshow to JPEGs> 1920 x 1080 (my screen size), 91 Quality
3) Import LR exported slideshow JPEGs into PowerDirector, add title slide, add music track, and set transitions.
4) Go to PD 'Produce' module and select H.264, AVCHD 1920 x 1080 (24 Mbps). Make sure to select 24 Mbps quality.
5) Go to PD 'Create Disc' module, select a menu structure, and edit the menu. Go to 'Disc Preferences' and select 'AVCHD' DVD-4.7GB.
6) Burn a standard 4.7 GB DVD disk. You can fit up to 500 1920 x 1080 images with up to 45 minutes playing time.
Absolutely stunningly sharp full-screen images!
Have you tried PD with your Canon 5D MKII MOV files using AVCHD 1920 x 1080 (24 Mbps) setting? Also what version are you using? Mine is 9.0.0.2504. What do you use to playback your videos? Using the Samsung 52" and my Canon 5D MKII 1080p video files processed in PD9 look pretty darn good....and I am a fanatic when it comes to sharp color correct imaging. I got started back in 1976 making up to 20" x 30" Cibachrome color enlargements from Kodachrome slides in my own color darkroom. Kodachrome was one of the sharpest most color accurate films made at the time. What I can achieve today with the 5D MKII in LR far surpasses anything achievable with 35mm Kodachrome and my (superb for the time) Olympus OM series bodies and prime lenses!

Feature Request - Storyboard import and Audio Notations

Ability to import and associate sotryboards for scene breakdown. Would be nice to import various graphic formats or even audio notations about the scene to help convey thoughts during collaboration.
Nice preview release. Headed in the right direction.

HI,
there are some features that could be very usefull :
-Time code counter : would estimate the length of written part, and add this duration in a "counter." hh:mn:ss;fr"
of course in 25, 24,and 29fps and the option to set the initial TC.
-Exporting sound track with various synthesis voices, in the most common audio files .aiff .wav .mp3
-Exporting XML timelines to NLE systems ; it would allow the whole team to start working.
Motion graphic designers, music composers, sound editors, could better figure out what the film will be.
The xml file would have audio files associated. (ie voice over would help a 3D team to sync their animations)
-Perfect interoperability with MSWord and Excel
-a "colors/category" column, user-defined with a sign counter. Would allow to figure out how much "stock shot" / "CGI" / "Robert de Niro" / "underwater"
is required.
-all commands should be assignable to keys by the user (Final Cut Pro does that very well)
-avoid F1, F2... etc as more and more people use portable computers.
-User defined workspaces : something very light with no disturbing figures or menus for a fluid writing, and something more complete for reviewing periods with statistics, exports etc etc etc

Feature Request: user-defined virtual keyboard popup for text fields

It would be convenient to be able to define (either declaratively in XML or programmatically) custom virtual keyboards (codepoints + font-name) that could be popped up from the context-menu on any text field.
The string of characters produced on the virtual keyboard should be inserted into the associated text field at the .selectionBeginIndex location, or replace any selected text, if applicable.
Adobe could also supply predefined keyboards, but the important thing is that the programmer have the ability to define custom layouts and choose which codepoints the virtual keyboard contains, and that it be launchablefrom a custom contextmenuitem or that it be very simple and easy to tell Adobe which layout should be launched shoulda default contextmenuitem be dedicated to this purpose.
Slick if it could support programmer-controlled transparency, so what lies beneath it could be revealed if the programmer desired.

User-controlled transparency (with a slider) would also be a nice feature, though the programmer should be able to hide/show the slider widget.

[Feature Request] Seperate tab in log window for System.err

By default, the stack traces of exceptions (and throwables in general) are printed to the System.err stream. So, wouldn't it be useful to include a 2nd tab for System.err messages?
It could be optional to either include or leave out the System.err output in the System.out tab.
The whole idea of this 2nd tab is to set it up like the search output tab: a tree-like list which can be expanded to see the stack trace of each exception that occured during runtime. A small parser can parse the stack trace when an exception is printed on the System.err stream and format it.
If this option would be availble in the debugger only, that would be ok too, I guess. Although, the debugger already has some other means of jumping through code when an exception is thrown (ie, when the debugger 'pauses' runtime).

I've logged an Enhancement request to improve the handling of System.err messages (2811508). There are ways to enhance the treatment of System.err messages without introducing a new tab, through the use of color, links back to the source code, and collapsing of entire stack traces to a single line (with a button to see the entire trace).
Thanks!

Feature request: record calls and messages on iPhone

I'm trying to generate interest for some features I think should be introduced. What do you think of this one...
The iPhone should be able to record calls and messages to save as an audio file on your computer. Aside from providing the ability to keep a personal archive of important or meaningful calls and messages, this introduces another revolutionary new feature:
Imagine if every call you made on your phone was recorded automatically, so you could review what someone said even after hanging up the phone. Each call could be saved in a temporary location, and recordings could be saved permanently by clicking "Save" on the corresponding entry in the call log. This way, you wouldn't ever have to worry about forgetting what someone said, and you can forever save the memorable phone calls that impact your life. This feature would also be extremely useful for recording phone interviews for later review and transcription.
This feature would likely be relatively easy to adopt, and would certainly be a revolutionary addition to a revolutionary device.

Thanks, I already did give Apple feedback though. I was just posting it here to try to generate some more support for the idea. I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure if this is an appropriate type of thing to post, so please let me know if it's generally not appreciated to put feature suggestions up for discussion.

Feature request -- "seamless tones and colors" to content aware move tool

The Content Aware Move Tool works pretty doggone well, except that differences in brightness or tones in the selection's new position frequently fail to match. For instance, moving a bird from near the top of the frame, where the sky is lighter blue, to nearer the horizon in the middle of the frame, where the sky is deeper blue, reveals a huge difference in the sky color. In the past, I would put the selection on a new layer, clone out the bird's original location, then use the Auto Blend Layers>stack images>seamless tones and colors to match things up.
Is there any way of integrating that "seamless tones and colors" into the new move tool? Or, barring that, have some way of selecting "move to new layer" when using the Content Aware Move Tool, so that after the move, one could merge the layers using the Auto Blend function?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thanks for the feedback. We will evaluate the customer feedback and consider some of the requests for a future version of Photoshop. I agree with Pierre that posting your request to the feedback link may allow it to be heard better as this is primarily a forum for problems with the Photoshop CS6 beta.

Feature Request: Proofbooks - Watermarks and Printing to Postscript

When creating proofbooks to be distributed either printed or electronically to clients, it is important to be able to easily print a version of the book with watermarks on all the photographs. This makes it easy and safe to send clients proofs of a book to examine before printing.
It would be nice if I could "print to proof pdf" or something similar from Aperture. PDFs created by Distiller from Postscipt are MUCH smaller then the ones generated by Aperture and other programs. a 51+ MB PDF is fine for the publishing house, but is impossibly large to email to a client for proofing. Another option would be to at least expose the normal "print pdf to postscript" like the normal print dialog does when you have things like Acrobat Distiller installed, so those of us who do have Distiller can make use of it for things like this.
If there are any workarounds people know for these two situations in the meantime I would love to hear about them.
Thank you for a great product.
Sean

I di dcome up with a workaround for this issue, although it requires Adobe Acrobat and Distiller. I printed a PDF with Apeture that was 54 MB in size. I opened it in Acrobat and used it's watermark feature to quickly watermark each page (not pretty but effective). I then used the "Save PDF as Postscript" to create a large PS file of the PDF (69 MB). I then started Distller with the "Smallest File Size" output settings selected and processed the Postscript file into a nice and small PDF proof version of my book with watermarks. This final proof version was only 1.5 MB and looked just great on the screen.
Hope this helps others.
Sean

Feature Request: Selective Backup and Restore

I know this is a board that apple doesn't answer questions to and blah blah blah but let's not kid ourselves that they don't monitor everything that goes on here; now thats out of the way.
Something that would be really useful would be selective backup/restore. Cuz i'm sure there are times when you what to restore only a specfic app and nothing else, or your messages.
Also if you're cleaning up your device and you accidently delete the wrong app; you will lose all that data with that app but inorder to restore that app and data you have to restore to a pervious backup and go through the process of re-deleting those apps.
Or if you want to restore your apps/data but have your settings start from scratch.
I don't know, I think this type of backup/restore feature could be very useful to alot of people...does any1 else agree?

You face 2 problems: The first is that polls are forbidden by the terms of use of the forum. The second is this:
Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy
Apple, as with many other companies, do not want outsiders to suggest ideas, because if the company implements the idea they can later be sued for copyright violation or, in the worst case, patent infringement.
