Feature Wish List

I been using FormCentral for a couple of weeks now and I just wanted to share my thoughts on the features I personally miss the most.
Design:
Calculations: We use forms for lots of stuff, but one of them is ordering stuff internally between departments. In this usecase I could really use some way to show the person ordering how much they bought for. In my usecase I could "settle" for some kind of table widget. Set column names, add rows and item price. Let the "amount" column be fillable by the user. The widget should calculate the subtotal column automatically and beneath the subtotal column a "total" cell should be added with the total price.
Item name
Amount
Item Price
Subtotal
Filled by author
Filled by user
Filled by author
Calculated
Currency options: When currency is selected for a text field, add an open textfield (4 characters max perhaps?) under "required" "include help text", for the users to input their own currency symbol. Those who want to use the dollar can just input $ or an € or as I need here in Denmark "kr.".
Validation options: I could use some more basic validation options. Amount of characters etc.
Customize errormessages: As required fields generate an errormessage when not filled, I would like to be able to customize these for easy localization.
Distribution:
While announcement emails helped quite a bit, I would really love to be able to mail predefined reciepients who has nothing to do with authoring the forms. In my usecase we have people handling a central storage who need to recieve a summary report when ever someone fills the form (an order), so they can ship the order. Likewise accounting needs a copy of the summary for them to handle the internal billings between the departments. So at the moment I need to use my own mail and then setup inbox rules who forward them to the correct emails. Basically I just need a textfield where I can put in emails seperated by commas.
Closed and confirmation messages: I would really like to be able to rich text format these messages. ("Form X is closed. Please fill out form Y[hyperlink] instead" or "form is closed, please email [email protected][hyperlink] for further info")
Predefined reciepients: Adding the entire workflow to importing reciepients emails, names and other background info. Sending out invite emails with unique urls that remembers how far the user progressed, reminder emails to those who has not started or completed the form yet. This would make FormCentral a truely all around information gathering system. We normally use other systems for this kind of large scale information gathering, but I would love to do it all in FormCentral
And finally
Excel report: I would like to be able to use 24hour format for "time submitted" column.
Best regards
Anders

Anders,
We just added support for locale specific date, time, number and currency formats. Go to the Options tab and select Locale Formatting. You'll see all of the options there. If something is still missing please tell us and we can try to add in a future release.We are still working on providing localizations for the application and form user interface.
Thanks,
Randy

Features wish list

I can't find any other place on Apple's web site to provide feedback, so I'm creating this discussion topic.
There are 2 features I'd really like to see Apple add to the next iteration of the iPod software: a way to put a bookmark in a playlist, and a way to set the backlight with and without external power.
I use my iPod for music and podcasts both, and I switch between them. If I shuffle my favorites playlist while I'm in my car, then want to listen to a podcast while I do chores in the house, it would be nice to have the iPod remember where I was in the playlist so I can resume where I left off. It can remember play position in a podcast; this seems like a logical extension of that.
Also, when my iPod is on external power in my car I set the backlight to "always on" so it's easy for my passengers to see who's playing and what the track is called. When i take it off external power I don't always remember to reset it to 5 seconds to preserve the battery. Every PDA I've ever owned has separate backlight settings for battery vs external power. I can't believe Apple doesn't provide the same for iPods.
So those are my wish list features. Any ideas how to get Apple to consider them?

BE3K Feature Wish List

First off, I would like to say my last post was filled with alot of anger and fustration, and admittedly not as productive to the Cisco dev team, or the BU and for this I apologise, however as a the Senior lead UC specialist of my organisation, and being partly responsible for all projects, I cant afford to have my junior engineers wasting days on a BE3k project to get the most basic of things going for our clients. So lets start over........ =)
Moving forward; I dont see many posts here on the Cisco support forums under the BE3k section regarding *improving* the BE3k's functionality and what we (the integrators) would like to see in the next upcoming release cycle. So I have come up with a few things off the top of my head which I would like to see added ( a wish list if you like ). Not all may be possible, and not all may apply to all demographic regions, as long as we know if there will be any plans in the future to add such features to the BE3k.
Ive only worked on the BE3k for a day and consulted with my colleages to compile this list, please feel free to add to it
Night Switch, with ability to schedule ON/OFF and also Night Switch indications on handsets (ie receptionist)
Hunt Group no answer forwarding to ANY number
Blast Group no answer forwarding to ANY number
Directed call pickup / Group Pickup of ANY ringing phone/group regardless of membership to hunt groups or blast groups
ACD Groups with ability for multiple greetings and multiple music sources for each ACD Queue
Pre-Digit voicemail forwarding, like if a user A wants to leave a message for user B, they predigit 6 or 5 in front of the extension and it goes straight to their voicemailbox without ringing on user B's phone
Lower the time it takes to do an upgrade
Native SIP trunking without the need for CUBE
Multiple choice PSTN routes, eg. 1st choice route = SIP, 2nd choice route = ISDN
More key types (not just LINE) share keys, monitor keys, silent keys, overlay keys, multicall keys etc etc
Feature access codes, ie *26xxx to call forward to number xxx etc..
Hotdesking or Extension Mobility, login and out of any phone and make it your own
Ability to edit translation rules and define custom routes for different numbers, like pre-digit 9 would use SIP, pre-digit 0 would use ISDN etc..
Ability to customise codec types if using SIP trunks and edit SIP parameters such as the SDP headers and packetisation rates..
Ability to SKIP the configuration wizard or RESET to go back to the configuration wizard
Ability to re-label softkeys, at the moment line1 on users extensions is locked to their Directory name
Speed dials, user A wants to dial 3001, 3001 is a shortcut to dial 0412345678, this should not be limited as some clients have over 500 speedials
DHCP server, with ability to define scope options like option 150, or ability to lock down to cisco-phone only
DSS/BLF monitoring of different line statuses, ie Ringing, Off Hook, DND
Ability to add analog gateways VG224 etc.. i dont know if this is already possible
Call forward no answer/call forward always, not to be part of a USAGE profile, but to be part of the USERS profile, its not intuitive in its current state
Thats all I can think of for now, I will add more when I consult my Team of engineers.

Hi Sanjay,
Thanks for the response, please see comments below :
1) Night Switch - Not currently supported. It is a feature we are targeting in a follow-up release.
     Will this support scheduling and an indicator ?
2) Currently one can forward it to any internal extension. What you are asking for is to forward it even an outside number. Yes, customer X wants to overflow the Hunt Group to an after hours Mobile Number
5) It is supported with 8.6.4 release. For direct call transfer to voicemail, hit transfer, * followed by extension number and transfer key again (or hang up the phone). Good to know, I tried this and it works
8) It is supported. With 8.6.4 release, one can create multiple Outside DIal Codes on the System Dial Plan page. Then on the site page, one can associate those outside dial codes to different connection groups. In your case, you will have one connection group with SIP connections and another with ISDN.
Can the system support +E.164 dialing ? Lets say I want to send +61 2 83945522 out of the SIP trunk ?
9) You can configure shared lines, speed dial BLF (monitor keys). Silent ring key is something which is not currently not configurable. I am not sure what is overlay key call. If I understand multicall key, it is call waiting feature. Each line on the phone has max of 2 calls by default.
At present, the only way to silence the ringing is to DND the phone, but this will silence all keys, consider a CEO who has a private line, or multiple private lines and doesnt want to be disturbed on his private line.
10) There is a softkey for call forward. Is there any specific reason you are looking for feature access code? I believe feature code is more problem because of reason to remember them. Sofkey is just there.
Feature access codes can be much easier to remember to do rather then navigating through a multitude of menus, consider and old TDM user who is used to having press *26 to fwd and #26# to cancel forward, this is much quicker and should be a secondary option to the menu driven way. - Call fwd is only an example.
12) With 8.6.4, you can define custom rules for different routing needs. Having said that I agree that translation rules are currently not very flexible. We are planning to improve that in next release.
This is good, I hope to see that the translation rules will have an option to select which exiting trunk route to use.
14) Reset to Factory Defaults is a feature on roadmap. May not be available in next release.
    What about Skipping the wizard all together ?
15) Line 1 is the primary DN. It will be labeled to the Extension number or name. What do u want to label it to?
     Heres the scenario on this one, at present doesnt looke like you are able to put the DN number as the label of Line 1. Consider company A has multiple sub-companies/departments coming in on different DID's company A's receptionist wants to have visibility of ALL sub-company's DID presented on each line of her handset. At present, you will need to create another USER and associate with the extension's lines, however you cannot Re-Label the key to reflect any meaningful information. Perhaps support for a "floating"/ "phantom"/ "fictive" key should be implemented. This kind of key does not need to be tied to any extension, and will not take up any licenses.
16) On the System Dial Plan page, there is a tab to do abbreviated dialing. You can configure translation of a speed dial to an E.164 number
Good, I tested this and it works, but I dont see what the point is in having options to prefix and postfix digits in this form, what is the thinking here?
18) It is already supported. You can add a VG224 gateway.
     Good.
Also, are these on the roadmap ? :
DSS/BLF monitoring of different line statuses, ie Ringing, Off Hook, DND
Ability to customise codec types if using SIP trunks and edit SIP parameters such as the SDP headers and packetisation rates..

Director Feature Wish List

I do not know if this has been published before. I reviewed Director 12 and I am almost certain that the following list of features are not currently available with the new release of Adobe Director. I have been using director for years, some of these features become available with the use of Xtras, but it will be nice for Director to support these features natively:
Printing capability - A feature that will allow authors to implement the option of printing cast members or sprites (images or text)
Audio recording capability - An option to record to either a cast member or a file and also llow the user to choose the audio recording device.
Video recording capability - An option that will allow to record video to a file.
Feel free to add to this list.

Access to the iPod music library.
Access to cameras.
Access to location services.
WebKit renderer.
iOS interface tool option added to classic, default and flash in the tool palette.
I don't think any of these should be possible: Director's iOS apps are actually .dcr (Shockwave) files that runs in a wrapper.
It's like an iOS app is already running inside a WebKit HTML page...
That's too bad, I know.

Anticipated new features/wish list for the Apple TV?

I'd be interested to hear people's guesses/wishes for the next OS update to the AppleTV. I know that I love mine but I find myself increasingly frustrated by the lost potential. For example, here are a few things I'd love to see (and yes, I've submitted these requests to Apple already):
* subscribable podcasts - it'd be great to be able to have the Apple TV subscribe to and auto-update podcasts. Great content always available on the device! Can't see any reason why they haven't done this...
* RSS newsreader/custom info page - I want to be able to turn on my Apple TV and have it give me a single-page summary of the news and info that's important to me. This would be a great way to tart my day - see the weather forecast, see the day's headlines, etc. Again, no practical reason not to do this.
* some sort of music visualizer - having a largescreen TV simply begs for some great visuals when playing music. I know that the Apple TV's graphic hw is insufficient for this purpose, but it'd still be nice <g>.
* ABC/NBC/CBS/Hulu/Netflix content - The elephant in the room. The proliferation of high-quality, free streaming content on the web has really changed the game and Apple should be at the forefront of delivering this stuff. I know they'll NEVER do this for business reasons, but I'm hopeful they'll find cutting-edge solutions to this, the most important of all, developments.
What would YOU like to see?

Polls and speculation aren't actually permitted. You might want to submit your feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
Best of luck.

Simple features wish list

Please allow the reading and writing of text files as a standard feature vs having third party software to do so.
In the file manager, please use the default interface for playing music instead of the video player.
Same for pictures.
Please allow choosing default programs for file types. I know that's asking alot. Would be nice though especially when I need to use third party software to read a simple txt file.
Print to my network printer. Everyone else has this... Need. I say more?
A ctrl key, instead of two shift keys an and a bunch keys I'll never ever use.
Arrow keys PLEASE, this is almost required as getting your cursor to drop to the right edit spot is.very frustrating.
If you need a usability tester, I have plenty of experience and will do it for free to have my playbook do the simple things its more than capable of.
Excuse my typing errors. Typing with the pb can be very challenging. autocomplete really causes problems.

CS5.5 Gripes/CS6 Wish List (from the perspective of an FCP switcher)

I have been a Final Cut Pro user for more than 10 years (starting with version 1.2 on a 500 MHz G4). Final Cut Pro X is a disaster, but that’s a well-covered topic for a different forum. After experimenting with Premiere Pro CS5.5 for a few months, I am ready to make the switch for all of my future projects.
I make a living editing video. I don’t, however, work for a big company, and I don’t have a lot of money to spend on third-party software or hardware. Much of my work is shot on DSLRs and delivered online. That may put me in the category of “pro-sumer” to some, but I wouldn’t be making the switch if I didn’t require a more professional alternative to FCPX to do my job.
I also don’t think “pro” has to be synonymous with clunky and ugly. (I’m looking at you, Avid.) When Final Cut was young, it was fun, intuitive, and sturdy. It became a robust, professional NLE over time. I think Premiere Pro is on that path now.
I like the look, the feel, and the functionality of CS5.5. It’s not quite Apple-slick, but it’s very much at home on a Mac. Overall, it’s an upgrade to FCP7 and a very strong alternative to FCPX. I have high hopes for CS6.
But this is not a comprehensive review. It is just a list of negatives: my gripes, wishes, and personal preferences. My list of positives would be much longer, but my concern right now is with CS6 and the improvements that I hope it delivers. As I am new to Premiere, it's quite possible that I am mistaken about certain functionalities or lack thereof, but I thoroughly researched each point in the help docs and forums before posting this.
My primary system is a 3.2 GHz iMac 21” (2010) with 8 GB RAM, 512MB VRAM (ATI Radeon HD), running Mac OS X 10.7 with external Firewire 800 drives and a DisplayPort-to-HDMI external display.
MAJOR ISSUES
Hardware acceleration support for ATI GPUs
There are rumors that Apple will be switching back to nVidia, but all recent iMacs have ATI and only ATI cards.
Background rendering (or at least improved rendering options)
Background rendering is probably FCPX’s most impressive feature and Adobe needs to catch up. However, even if true background rending can’t be achieved, there should be an auto-render option (after a set idle time), partial rendering (if you cancel a render, keep everything that has been rendered up until that point), and more render options (e.g. render all and render selected). Regarding that last point, I think the whole work area concept should be dropped. It makes sense for other apps, particularly for animation, but it just gets in the way of more important timeline functions while offering little functionality beyond being a clumsy way to control the area to be rendered. At the very least, have a way to hide it.
Full-screen preview
Maximizing the program frame just isn’t the same (although the grave accent key function may be reason enough to switch to Premiere). Full-screen preview isn’t just a nifty function for demo-ing sequences. It’s a big part of the way I work.
DisplayPort/Thunderbolt out to HDMI
It may be that a third-party card is required for proper color correction on an external display, but there’s no reason this feature shouldn’t exist.
Thumbnail images/show frames bug
This one drives me crazy. I’ve tested this on 3 different Mac systems with various hardware configurations. Thumbnail images in the bins and frame images in the timeline seem to be recreated every time a project is opened, even though the thumbnail image files in the media cache folder don’t actually appear to get rewritten. It’s as if there is no cache at all (even for the most recently viewed bins and timelines segments). It can’t be an intentional functionality for saving hard drive space because the cache files continue to take up more and more space.
Open multiple projects simultaneously
I know that you can cut and paste between projects but being able to open multiple projects at the same time is a very useful feature of FCP7.
Magic Mouse/Magic Trackpad scrolling
Premiere Pro is a cross-platform system and impressively so, but there need to be a few Mac-specific interface adjustments, the most important of which is support for the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad scrolling. I use a Magic Mouse. (It’s an irritating device sometimes, but once you get used to it, it’s hard to live without it.) When I’m in a window, I expect a flick up or down to scroll up or down -- in every situation, every time, including the timeline. Unless I stop using all other Mac apps, I will never get accustomed to the timeline suddenly flying left or right when I want to scroll up or down. Also, here’s a chance for Adobe to fix a problem that FCP7 shared: When you scroll up or down in the effect control window using the mouse, the drop-down effect controls sometimes twirl all over the place if the mouse happens to float over them. As it is, it very easy to throw settings into random disarray without even realizing it just by scrolling through the pane.
The timeline: selection indication, icons, and general improvements
It is very difficult to discern at a glance what, if anything, is selected in the timeline. Transitions always look selected! Audio tracks should be a different color or otherwise more distinct. There should be an option to show frames only without any text. The icons for track options are small, crowded, and ugly. Some of the editing icons are too similar, namely edit and ripple edit, although the excellent status bar at the bottom of the application goes a long way towards making up for this. Simply put, the timeline could use some polish. Don’t be afraid to steal from Apple on this one. Keep the tracks; just make it easier on the eyes!
Conforming audio
The ability of CS5.5 to work natively with DSLR footage is awesome, but it’s not fully DSLR native if it has to pre-render a major component of the footage before it can play, even if it’s just the audio.
Media loading
When launching a project, it can take a long time for all the media in the project to “load” as tracked in the status bar. I’m sure there’s a reason for this, but since the program is able to determine which source media files are missing before this step (and gives you the option to reconnect them), what is it doing and why must it load every clip in the project, even those not in use by any sequences?
Page up/page down and arrow key commands
For starters, the current page up/page down key functions should take the CTI to the next cut in the sequence, not the next cut in the track that happens to be targeted, which can be way down timeline. In FCP7, I frequently navigated cut to cut with the up and down arrow keys. I’ve avoided customizing the keyboard commands to match FCP7 -- I would rather endure some hardship and learn the proper Adobe commands -- but this one is flat-out backwards. The page up/down keys should page through the timeline (left to right and right to left), while the up and down arrow keys should take over the clip to clip function (assuming the targeted track issue is fixed). Currently, the down arrow takes you to the very end of the timeline, a function already duplicated by and better suited for the “end” key.
Bin management and clip relationships
Deleting an item from a bin should not delete it from the timeline, but this is part of a bigger problem, which is the whole master file versus instance versus subclip versus dup clip thing. There aren’t any good indicators regarding the relationships of these clips, and there are few ways to adjust them. If clips are going to be connected, then they should be fully connected. For instance, changing the name of a clip in the bin should change it in the timeline. Adding an effect or trimming should affect the corresponding clips between bin and timeline. Otherwise, the clips should just be completely separate instances. I haven’t been able to find an option to turn a clip into an independent instance, although I have to think it exists. Also, editing an instance of a title does change every other instance of that title throughout the sequence. I would prefer to be able to edit them separately without having to duplicate them in the title editor.
Bin effects
Related to the above, it should be possible to add effects to clips in bins or keep effects on clips added to bin from timeline. It would also be nice to be able to group effects together in bins for a specific project. The effects window is better suited for global collections.
Clearer visual indicators that a clip has been adjusted in the effect controls panel
Even with the effects panel visible, you have to take a close look to see if there have been any adjustments to the standard settings. An indicator on the clip in the timeline itself would be useful.
Snapping should include the CTI
It should also include the blade tool, although the Cmd-K option to cut at the CTI position does make this less of an issue.
Smoother scrubbing
Scrubbing is pretty awful. While this is understandable with native footage, FCPX somehow manages to make this silky smooth at full resolution.
Color correction shape mask and better color correction in general
Simplify the primary functions of the 3-way color correction effect. Keep all the rarely used adjustments out of the way. I use Magic Bullet for some purpose, but I’ve always done most of my color correction within FCP. Put the most common adjustments front and center (or up top, as it may be). The highlights/mid-tone/shadows drop-down is inconsistent in what controls it pertains to.
FCPX’s color correction is actually one of its more underrated features. The way it allows you to layer corrections is dead-simple yet as powerful as anything in FCP7 or Premiere. Stick with the 3 wheels, but rely less on hard to control tonal ranges and add simple keyframe-able shape masks for secondary color correction.
Better support for shared media access
AVID is king in this arena and Adobe needs to improve. It should be possible for multiple editors to safely work on the same project files and share media over a server.
MINOR ISSUES
More vertically compact playback/edit control area in source and program panes
Make room for either a taller timeline or bigger previews. The virtual scrubber and shuttle controls are the nifty things you drag with the mouse the first time you ever use an NLE and never touch again.
Larger icons in icon view
Remember size and position of bin windows
Playback resolution setting indicator
There should be an always-visible indicator of the playback res setting in the preview pane that’s easy to adjust without right-clicking.
Better markers for sequences and clips
Include colors and more keyboard shortcut control.
Clip sliding with keyboard commands
“Opt-,” (that’s Option-comma) should cause a clip collision, not overwrite. Either that, or “,” and “.” should slide, while “Opt-,” should overwrite. Opt-arrow should only extend an adjoining clip if in the middle of two clips. Basically, this whole arrangement should be re-thought.
Project browser should auto refresh/sort.
Option-drag on a Mac should always be copy, not move.
Copy is currently command-drag in the project browser.
Stop auto-save from interrupting adjustments in timeline.
Ideally, the auto-save should just be a background function, but it should at least wait until you’re not in the middle of dragging something.
Add ability to select a cut directly and add default transition.
CTI control
If you move the CTI while it’s in play mode, it should continue to play from that spot after you release the mouse, not stop there.
Show number of frames being adjusted during keyframe adjustments.
Enable/disable specific effect parameters/keyframes.
Clearing an effect should clear keyframes as well.
Or have an option to clear both.
Position controls
There should be a preference to make the default position 0.0 x 0.0 (as opposed to 50% of whatever the resolution happens to be), and include a reset button.
Through-edit indicator in timeline
And a quick way to join clips, such as a right-click menu option.
Border controls for images
Auto save location preference and functionality
In FCP7 I set the number of auto saves to keep to the maximum of 100 and Premiere can go even higher. I have always used this feature as an additional backup and archive system, which has come in very handy. Those files add up, however. So, I prefer to auto-save to an external drive. Also, auto saves in Premiere continue to occur whenever there are unsaved changes. This means that if you make a small adjustment and then leave Premiere for a while, it will keep auto saving the same iteration, which is not only inefficient but leads to my next point….
Tame the bouncing dock icon on auto save
While using other apps, there’s no need for the dock icon to bounce every time Premiere performs an auto save.
More/clearer control over cache locations
There should also be an option to reset the cache/render file locations to their defaults.
Export source range
When exporting, remember the last-used setting of the export source range (or just dump the whole work area thing as I previously suggested). It’s too easy to cut off a portion of the video when the export defaults back to the work area every time.
Larger timecode display
After spending hours and hours editing, the current timecode for clips and sequences is something you want to be able to track without squinting. Use the letters h,m,s and f instead of colons.
Simple slug
Creating a black matte works okay, but it involves a few extra steps.
Snapping toggle
FCP allows you to quickly toggle snapping while dragging a clip. Upon releasing the clip, the snap toggle returns to its original state. Premiere could use this fucntion, but I suggest something simpler. Holding down the “S” key should always turn snapping on regardless of toggle state, while releasing it returns it to however it was set before.
Ability to dock the audio meters along top
I like to give my timeline as much horizontal space as possible. I’ve noticed a lot of users keep the toolbar up there, myself included. I think it would be a good place horizontally aligned audio meters as well.
More detailed tool tips or hover explanations in preferences
For example: The options regarding XMP data should make it clear that the original files will be modified by Premiere. This caused me problems in other applications. (After researching these settings, I understand that various Adobe applications use this information to share resources, but it’s still very unclear what the specific benefits are or what functions are lost without this option.)
More detailed support documents
The online support documents on the Adobe site very good. They are nicely arranged and easy to search, but they could be more detailed and offer fuller explanations. (Peruse the support forums and you will discover all kinds of debates that could have been easily cleared up with one concise line in a help document.)
Icons and button design
Icons and buttons are often too small, too similar, and too crowded throughout the interface. Take some style tips from Apple on this one.
NEW FEATURE WISH LIST
Footage auto-analysis: shot recognition, color correction, and color match
If only Apple had just added these features and others to the FCP7 framework. Adobe can do it better though, by using smart folders in addition to the traditional bins that we know and trust (anything besides those dreadful iMovie-style “events”).
Effect previews
In the 64-bit era, there has to be a quicker way to preview effects.
Ability to render in alternate formats
Namely ProRes or DNxHD. This would save me considerable time on exports by allowing me to select the “use preview files” option.
PluralEyes functionality
Okay, I suppose I should just purchase PluralEyes...again.
Many, many more effects!
How about starting with the missing vignette effect? Just because an app is “pro” doesn’t mean you should have to custom build every effect.
Many, many more looks!
Will most of them be cheesy looks I would never touch? Sure...but give me some templates to play with before I tweak the look down to my exact specifications.
More speed!
FCPX, for all its flaws, blazes on any modern Mac. This probably comes back to hardware acceleration, but while Premiere Pro on a Mac isn’t slow, it doesn’t blow you away.

You hit the nail on the head, Peter.
I recently started giving Premiere Pro CS5 a try, and was shocked by the amount of bugs and usability issues. I'm not even going as deep as you in the features, but the most glaring evidence of the lousy interface is that timecode offset bubble that appears everytime you move a clip in the timeline... the bugger appears just under your mouse pointer and won't go away, so if you try to just move a clip down a track quickly, and let go of the button ONTO the bubble, it acts as an obstacle and your drag/drop fails ! seriously, Adobe... don't tell me nobody has stumbled upon this one during beta-testing ?
Ditto on the autosave that basicly interrupts anything you're doing. No background saving in 2011 ? At first it bothered me to no end so I disabled the autosave. And then a few hours later, Premiere crashed, and didn't even try to recover my work. I lost 2 hours of intricate work. I put autosave back on, and learned to endure the constant, annoying save dialog. And it's not like the save process is instant... even the simplest of projects takes 5 to 10 seconds to save... on an SSD... come on... let me work already...
Of course, a headache-inducing implementation wouldn't be complete if the autosave didn't trigger even 30 seconds after a manual save. If I choose an interval of 5 minutes, just autosave 5 minutes after a manual save !
In thumbnail view, you can reorder the clips manually. It's all fine, but you can't reorder them by name or date or length, unless you switch to list view and of course, lose the thumbnails.
Dragging and dropping a clip in thumbnail view is a chore, because the palette doesn't scroll when the mouse reaches the edge. You know, when you want to move something at the top all the way to the bottom... so you have to drag, let go, scroll one screen, drag, let go, scroll one screen... it's a joke. Even the timeline can do it. Heck, it's a software standard, nowadays.
Renaming a clip and pressing ENTER takes you back to... the top of the folder !?! How many times I've renamed files that were at the end of the thumbnail view, and for each clip, I had to scroll back down. Time waster.
Want to locate a clip from the timeline, in the project ? the locate function takes you to the folder. But not to the file, you have to navigate towards it manually.
Ditto on the up/down arrows. I haven't found a way to jump from cut to cut like in FCP7. How often do I need to jump to the starting/ending points ? much less often than jumping to a nearby cut.
How come I can't reorder filters in the effects pane ? sorry, I can actually reorder the filters... provided I take them from the bottom and move them up. Moving effects down doesn't work. It's driving me crazy.
Conforming happens more or less anytime. Without reason. And even if the Media Cache is already full of conformed files.
When moving the boundaries of the work area, no timecode/offset appears. You need to let go of the button and THEN hover, then you'll know the exact time/duration.
Try scrolling up in the timeline, it scrolls to the left (which is stupid, it should scroll up). Now scroll up on the tabs of a palette : they scroll to the right !?!
Can't select an active track. Direct consequence : copy-pasting a clip overlaps anything that's on track 1. Say I want to duplicate clips on the same track... I can't do it.
Copy-pasting between projects doesn't keep the transitions, only the order of the clips.
Have you tried doing a frame freeze on a reversed clip and setting proper in/out points for the freeze ? Good luck.
"Duplicate" command, when you right click on a thumbnail, is way too far from the cut/copy/paste commands at the top, even though they're quite related.
The other day I transcoded footage with different audio parameters. Just the audio had changed. Upon opening the project, Premiere wanted me to locate the files, which I did. And it failed miserably. Instead, I opened the project ignoring the missing files, and then re-linked them. I pointed Premiere at the first missing file, and had to confirm the replacement. Premiere saw all the other missing files in that folder, and began prompting me FOR EACH SINGLE FILE !!! two hundred and forty three of them, precisely. Can't I have a "yes to all" button in 2012 ? and why does the relinking work inside the project and not when you open a project ?
That was just from 3 days with Premiere Pro CS5. I still can't believe it. Just to think people bashed Final Cut Pro X, praising Premiere in comparison... Sorry, but they both have serious issues. And Premiere doesn't even have the excuse of novelty.

Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
- Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
- Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
- Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
- Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
- Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
- when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
- Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
- Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
- faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
- iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
- VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
- Flight tracker widget
- Exchange support (probably in the works)
- Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
- Bluetooth sync
- DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
- Data/File storage with sync
- TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
- Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
-Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
- GPS
- 3G
- LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
- Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!

I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
My wish list:
1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
5) Copy and paste.
V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

I just added the wish list feature from amazon and now my background pattern is gone. What do I do to get it back?

I added the wish list feature from amazon on my toolbar, but when I restarted my computer there wasn't any background pattern. I had a christmas scene backgound.

A persona usually only works with the default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes). 
So if you've installed another theme then your persona may have been disabled.

HT5557 Is there a wish list feature in iBooks?

Been looking in iBooks for a wish list feature, anyone have any luck?
Thx & Regards

None that I'm aware of. You can suggest it to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks_ios.html
What I do is just email the link of the book to myself. Tap on the book and then tap the box/arrow icon at the upper right. That might work for you for now.
Regards.

Suggestion: wish list feature

I'm sure you've had this before, but it would be great if iTMS had some sort of wish list feature where you could mark albums you are interested in, to purchase later.

What about this solution?: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107961

MSI Next Generation Intel Platform Wish List of Features

Hello,
Please share your wish list of features which you would like to see in a next generation of MSI Intel Platform.
Also what kind of BIOS options/features you wish to be included. (for example: OCing BIOS options, some other specific BIOS options)
Thanks

Well the "performance level" memory setting would be a good addition. It isn't on any known mainboard to date. It's changed via MemSet however:
It's available on an other brand engineering sample that I've recently benched with (cannot tell which one, sorry). Anyway, I second your suggestion. PL is individually hard-coded for both memory channels (FED14249h for CH1 & FED14649h for CH2) and should be very easy to add in the bios. It can be individually available for each channel...
Another MCHBAR timing that could be nice to add is the one located at FED1403Fh. It was strap related on P965 chipset, but looks divider related on P35. This timing isn't available for tuning in anyway (bios or app.) but for instance can boost nicely the memory read bandwidth (by about 100MB/s) if sets to the proper value. ATM, the only way to change it, is by using a MCHBAR editor. (TMK this particular timing/setting isn't reported by any Intel datasheet)
Following this way, adding a long list of options for setting timings should be very nice... I guess that's what the enthusiastic overclockers want a good board to have. It also speaks for the board's quality.
A wide range of voltage settings would be great as well. Vcore, Vmch, Vfsb, Vpll, etc. With very high values availables (For instance, 1.65Vmch max on the P35D3 isn't enough...). A great reliability of voltage values (For instance, on my P35D3, 1.65Vmch equals 1.57v actual; 2.01Vcore equals 1.83v actual) and a particular care may be taken at reducing Vdroop.
I'll post more ideas later.

Add wish list feature

I would like a wish list feature added to the Mac App Store. Countless times have I come across apps and thought about buying them, but really didn't have the time to investigate the choice, so I do not buy. Then I forget what I was looking at. It would be nice to have an Amazon style wish list to organize these situations for later decision. If I missed this feature, please point it out. Thanks.

De nada amigo.
Thank You for extending the courtesy of awarding points to comments that are helpful or provide answers in the Apple Support Communities, as this is not mandatory, but it is much appreciated!

HT1689 Where is the Wish List feature on iTunes for iPad?

Any one know about this topic?

The wish list isn't accessible on an iPad - if it's something that you'd like then you can try leaving feedback via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I have an aol browser9.0 and I want to use the Amazon universal wish list feature, they said I'd need a foxfire add on I think?

I tried downloading aol 10.0, but that caused alot of problems on my computer so I had to uninstall it.

Add to Amazon Wish List extension:

'''Firefox''' is the name. ''Foxfire'' is a bio-luminescent fungus.
