Feature requests: Getting Here Drive to a baseline...

OK, Here Drive works reasonably well and stable with the feature set it has, but it still has a long way to go, just to be close to par with e.g. my Garmin Nuvi 350 bought 7 years ago, or even an old app like Mapopolis for Windows Mobile, also available 5-6 years ago (but now gone broke)... Is it possible to soon get at least get to a baseline that makes it usable also for longer international travel, e.g. going on summer vacation across Europe vs. just being useful for some local travel? This would require:
Search by categories of POIs rather than having to know it by name, e.g. find nearest hotels, gas station or place to eat (restaurants not even available today in the map overlays!) - sorted by distance
Find POIs along the route, e.g. within 2km of route rather than based on current location, again to know when you will pass e.g. the next gas station (super critical when driving on vacation across Europe)
At least 1 via point, so you can plan a stop over and still know your arrival at final destination.
Planning mode for routing by setting both a start and destination rather than all routes calculated must be from current position
Telling whether destination is on left or right side of road
That would bring Here Drive to at least the entry level of the cheapest dedicated navigation systems. Some additional features that would move it a little up the stack ranking includes:
Traffic information displayed and taken into account for route suggested (for a mobile unit with data traffic capability I would actually consider this a base requirement to just be minimally competitive with the cheapest navigation systems)
Speed camera alerts
Multiple via points
Offline planning of full route and save/import of routes
Street names spoken in more languages
Lane assist
Narrowing searches by country, city name or postal code
Voice recognition for some of the basic commands while traveling, e.g. nearest gas station
Finally - would it be possible to get the Danish speech updated? It's horribly incorrect from a grammatical perspective (sometimes bordering embarrassing) and the voice used is also not very good - it's a bit strained and shouting, rather than a calm soothing voice.
I hope some of this can be prioritized - that would allow be to finally get to just ONE device for everything in the car - music, navigating and obviously calling.
Sincerely,
Allan Hvass

Funny - after my testing out of Nokia Drive+ and realizing all the limitations listed compared to an OLD Garmin Nuvi AND no glimmer of hope or response for a month, I actually went out and bought a Nuvi 3490 instead. I'm currently not using my Nokia Drive for any navigation...
I could see myself start using it again if some of the features, incl. traffic information being part of routing decisions making it's way back. But for long haul navigation, everything needs to be there, and still the Nuvi 3490 wins hands down. And since that is now already paid for also with life time updates to maps and traffic info, it now requires a signficantly BETTER navigation app to bring me back.
One thing I would like to see though that will make Nokia my most used daily navigation tool is the Nokia Commute app for Copenhagen area. That apps approach for short haul routine routing is really attractive.
I originally went for the Nokia Lumia series over competing WP8 vendors due to the strong software add-ons with the mapping functionality being a key factor. There's still many other elemeents that just make Nokia a bit better, but the one I thought was the biggest turned out to not be enough, and that has now put aside as I got a better navigation system than any phone can currently offer - thus making the playing field a little bit more level across WP vendors. Nokia needs to work MUCH harder and faster, if they want to differentiate themselves on mapping / navigaiton. Granted there's other areas like photo quality, social apps, build quality, accessories, etc. I would like to put Nokia Music in there as well, but that has never launched in Denmark after 3 years...
Sincerely

Feature Request: Scan attached drives to automatically find and reconnect "missing" images

This is the kind of thing that computers are good for. I'm surprised that we've made it all the way to version 5 without this feature being added. It would be relatively easy.
Scan the catalog to make an internal list of all images that are "missing" (the raw file is not found where the catalog says it should be).
Scan the attached hard drives and make an internal list of all images on the system.
Compare the file names, sizes and dates of all of the found images and match them up.
You could provide a UI to confirm the reconnected images, or simply do it automatically. If desired, you could use EXIF data in the images to help confirm that the proper images are being connected. In fact, this step could be used as an "advanced" option to find images where the filename has changed.
Thanks for your consideration!

(an original Raw Shooter and RawShooter/Pro user - which Adobe purchased and turned into Lightroom 1.0 - it's been a wonderful ride so far!)

Eliminating step 2 eliminates the security of an immediate backup. I don't want to ever tell a customer that I lost their images. The backup is done just as soon as possible.
Doing the processing on the SSD while having backed up to storage lets me get through thousands of images on a weekly basis (all things related to weddings as well as family portraits, seniors and the like).
The syncing process is automated (in fact, most of my processes are). It keeps *me* fast and efficient.
So why argue against a tool that can benefit not only me but others that have lost their images (for reasons having nothing to do with me or my workflow)? I am involved in many forums and have frequently helped people to find their lost images. I love that Lightroom easily reconnects the images. The only hard part is finding what happened to them (often they did a bonehead drag and drop of a folder and moved the images somewhere they didn't expect, sometimes they changed drive letters, sometimes they purposely move files and just don't realize the repercussions).
ALL of these people would benefit from adding this feature.
Why try to argue against it? I don't need a solution to my workflow. I love my workflow. I just think this feature would be beneficial to me and lots of other people.
Thanks for understanding.

Feature Request: Get Develop Preset by Name

Presently, you have to already have the preset ID to get a develop preset using any other method besides searching recursively through the develop preset folders...
Ditto for collections...

Cancel this request! - I just figured out how to change develop settings by going through a plugin preset in ram instead of a regular preset on disk - I'm a happy camper.

Feature request : get latest room function in server to server apis

Hello,
I would like to be able to get the latest created room, check the number of users in there already, and if there is still place send the user there or create a new one.
At the moment I can achieve this by either
1.make a listRooms call and then a getroominfo for the latest room, but if the number of rooms become large this may slow down the app.
2. I could also store the room stats on my server.
What do you think?

Ok thanks

Feature request: get bytes sent and received

Is there a way to get the number of bytes sent a received? For other stats, I use code such as:
com.tangosol.coherence.component.net.Cluster cluster = (com.tangosol.coherence.component.net.Cluster)
((SafeCluster)com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory.ensureCluster()).getCluster();
PacketPublisher publisher = cluster.getPublisher();
PacketReceiver receiver = cluster.getReceiver();So, I'm looking for a way to get bytes transferred info out of the publisher and receiver objects.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
First, I'd like to underscore the fact that all this is not a public API yet and may change without notice.
Currently, you can get the number of sent and recieved packets:
publisher.getStatsSent();
receiver.getStatsReceived();To transalte this into bytes you'd have to factor it by the value of "cluster-config/packet-publisher/packet-size/preferred-length" element in "tangosol-coherence.xml" descriptor.

FEATURE REQUEST: After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies

If you feel the needs in efficient proxy workflow, welcome to the club and don't hesitate to submit feature request.
Here is the adjusted to less than 2000 symbols feature request text:
***After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies***
It would be nice if PrPro offered AE style Placeholders and Proxies workflow. There are cases, where they are extremely useful, e.g.:
1. Huge modern formats and resource hungry codecs. Not all machines can easily handle 2k or 4k footages, some can't get real time playback even with AVCHD. Not to mention that CinemaDNG importer was discontinued partly because of inability to get real time playback in PrPro. The issue can be resolved via rendering previews, but that's not always the most efficient workflow.
2. In multicam editing issues mentioned above increase dramatically. Rendering preview for every camera angle is simply impossible. Although PrPro offers offline clips workflow, an editor can't easily see if the clip is currently linked to a source footage or a proxy, and switching between sources and proxies involves several steps every time one needs to switch: selecting assets, making them offline, right-clicking again to link to other media, locating files on a disk; while in After Effects it's just one click once a proxy is set.
3. Adobe Dynamic Link. PrPro communicates with AE projects via single instance of headless AE, which creates a bottleneck and entails the need to render DI for complex comps. Although AE allows to set DIs as proxies and, hence, enjoy the best of both worlds, instantly switching between DI and dynamically linked comp and no needs to replace anything in PrPro timeline, with hundreds of dynamically linked comps PrPro timeline becomes unresponsive and takes forever to render (for my rig test 30 min sequence built out of 935 dynamically linked comps, which are just source footages in their own comps, hence, the equivalent to rendered DIs set to proxies, takes around 27 hours to render, while 30 min sequence built out of the same 935 source footages renders in real time). Meanwhile, PrPro doesn't currently allow to link offline dynamically linked comps to rendered DIs.

As the person who maintains the feature request database for After Effects, I can confirm that the number of times an item has been requested is a major factor when we consider what to work on next. So are other factors, such as how hard the feature is to implement and maintain, how much testing is involved (often the larger concern than programming time), whether the request conflicts with something else that we are already working on, and so on. It is true that we consider not just raw numbers of requests but the details of who is making the requests---e.g., whether the requests are coming from animators or compositors, beginners or experts.
I can only speak for the After Effects team, but the Premiere Pro team works much the same way (which is unsurprising, since we are in the same group and have overlapping team members).
We also try to give some visibility into the most requested items with posts like this:

Feature request...rich-text for notes field

I hope Adobe reads these posts! Notes in Presenter would be much better if they accepted rich-text. This only makes sense since the Notes field in PowerPoint is rich-text. Please add this feature in future releases.

Hello,
You could get directly to the Adobe team if you filled out a proper feature request. Here is the link:

Then you will be sure that they read your request, and they do, believe me,

Top feature requests for After Effects in 2012

Here's an article that I just posted about the top feature requests for After Effects made in 2012.
Please do make sure that you submit any feature requests here. Feature requests buried in a forum thread can get lost, but feature requests made here will certainly be tracked and retained.

I can't give a definitive answer regarding what we will or won't deliver in a specific future version of After Effects.
I think that buying Test Gear is a good idea, but that's just my personal opinion.

Feature Request - Safari Dimmer

Did not see any other place to make a feature request, so here goes:
Recently I installed a DivX player on a WinXP system as was pleasantly surprised with the "Desktop Dimmer" (apparently also available for OSX). It seems that though this functionality is currently a function of the player, it may be possible for Safari to detect that a particular video player plugin is active and streaming and perform the same function for all formats.
This would tie in nicely with the annoying behaviour on my MBP to dimm the screen after a minute or so of inactivity which can't be controlled from the Power management or Screen controlls in System Manager. Argh.
If I'm trying to stream an hour long motorcycle race, I don't want to have to keep moving my mouse to brighten up the screen. And it absolutely MUST be dimmed, then at least leave the streaming part alone.

This is a perfectly good place to post this. There is also at least one other place to give Apple feedback (including feature requests) about their Mac OS X applications: the Mac OS X feedback form. (You will not receive a response by filling out that form, but the feedback is channeled to the people who can best use it.)
This would tie in nicely with the annoying behaviour on my MBP to dimm the screen after a minute or so of inactivity which can't be controlled from the Power management or Screen controlls in System Manager. Argh.
Raising the time before display sleep in the "Sleep" section of Energy Saver settings, making sure that's changed for both the Power Adapter and Battery settings, doesn't do the trick? (It might not, always - just checking. :-))

Feature Request: Ability to copy and paste development settings in LR Mobile

Please add the copy and paste feature for develop settings in LR Desktop to the Mobile version.

Feature Request: Right-Click Zoom (like in Audition)

You can hold down the right mouse button down, select an area, and release to zoom to that region in Audition.
Can we please have this feature in Premiere Pro CC? It would be a huge timesaver, and it won't add any bulk to the interface (in terms of height or width of components).
Imagine zooming into the exact section of the timeline you want with one click & drag of the mouse! It works so well in Audition, I really think it's time to bring it over to Premiere (and After Effects would be cool too, but I'd have to request it there, probably). Navigating the timeline is one of the timesinks of editing. This feature could drastically speed that process up.
Does anyone else want this as much as I do?

Honestly, I feel like feature requests get ignored, unless they have more than one person's support behind them.
Not sure about that. We get Features that no one ever mentioned, discussed or asked for.
Its called 'Feature Creep' and I think there is one from last update being discussed in a Forum near you... right now.

Feature Request - Import ITunes m4p into Track

Would like a feature that allowed moving an entire ITunes song into a GB track.
933 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

That's not likely to be a feature you'll ever see B-(>
(BTW, Apple doesn't read these forums, so the GB team won't see a feature request posted here)

Feature request - Grain adjustment shadows/midtones/highlights

I would like to be able to adjust the amount of grain for the shadows/midtones/highlights as I am able to do in the Alien skin exposure plugin. This would allow me to skip that step all together and just do it all in lightroom.
3 simple sliders for this would be great!

I can see the benefits of that! As this forum is focused primarily on the beta version and its new features/bugs, you'd be better to log your request on the official feature request forum here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/

Feature Request: Audition

How about making the wave form view on the same screen as the multi track view. This, so you can select and drag events or regions from the waveform view window directly into a track on multi-track. Sony Vegas has had this for years with their "trimmer" on the same screen as the multi track. I've never understood the split personality of the multi track view-waveform view. I've been working with digital audio since the SAW pro days. Make it an option - for those who are accustomed to the status quo. I still prefer using Vegas for building radio spots for that reason. Thanks

Powershell Feature Request

We just had to look at all the users in AD that are disabled, and Powershell works quickly to pull the list. One attribute that would have been very helpful is a disable timestamp. We were looking for accounts disabled within a certain time period and I
didn't see a way to filter on that in the Search-ADUser command.
Thanks,
Roy
