Flex Callouts - Usability enhancement suggestions

Usability enhancement suggestions for flex callouts widget
FIG demo. (The FIG forum seems to be locked, making it difficult to
add feedback there.)
Currently, clicking on callout expands to first level and
displays expando affordance on right. Suggest that it appear next
to the airplane (i.e. under the mouse), so the user is encouraged
to simply click a second time to see the second level expansion,
rather than scootch over to right every time. "But they don't need
to do that." Yes, exactly.
The close action when window is fully expanded can be handled
by orienting callout with the arrow pointing to upper left, and
balloon at lower right, so that the same "click in place" trick can
be employed.
Click here for example of
callouts/tooltips appearing to lower right of mouse.
This would then clearly convey that user can
click-click-click to cycle through the three states. So it's click
once to expand to show heading. Expando glyph appears under/near
mouse position attached to airplane. Click again to have the
heading expand *downward*, with a close "X" replacing the expando
glyph. Click again to close/return to initial state.

  • Some Bugs and Enhancement Suggestions for Offline DB models

    I really like the way that this area of JDeveloper is shaping up, but I have a couple of bugs and few suggestions for enhancements.
    Bugs,
    1) when adding an index to a table, you can't edit the index name. If the generated name is too long, it doesn't allow you to create the index.
    2) When adding columns to an index, there is no LOV of columns so you have to manually type each one. It always defaults to the ?first column of the primary key? which seems odd.
    A few enhancement suggestions:
    1) on tables and columns it would be very helpful to be able to also have a logical name as well as a physical name
    2) if we have a logical name, it would be then very helpful to be able to set the display properties to show the logical vs. physical table and column names
    3) Tablespace objects. I would be okay if they were just the logical object (not necessarily generate DDL to create them). If I could use them as part of the table and index definitions.
    4) Table partitioning.
    5) Packages on a DB Diagram. Just for the documentation purpose of visually displaying all objects in an application.
    6) Ability to create views based on synonyms. Currently, it only allows to pick a table or view.
    Just a few items that I have encountered trying to design a full application in JDeveloper.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Gary,
    thanks. I filed the enhancement request and bug based on your description

  • Enhancement Suggestion - Jdeveloper Code Editor

    Hello,
    I would like to make an enhancements suggestion for the JDeveloper code editor. I find the "history" tab of the source editor extremely useful when I'm trying new things and not sure if they would work. This tab helps me revert changes to a last known version. However, I see myself having to identify the previous correct version by date and time, which is kind of dicey. I do see there is also a description column, however, I'm not able to edit the description with a meaningful message that would help identify as last know good version quickly. Hence, my suggestion is that the history tab of the code editor allow the user to add tags / comments against each version for quick identification.
    Hope the Oracle development is listening, and you'll have to excuse me for posting if this forum is the wrong place to make suggestion ( i didn't quite find any feedback feature on the Jdeveloper product page).
    regards,
    Rehan Yusuf

    No problem Timo.
    I don't think it's worth opening an SR for this. It looks like sub-pixel anti-aliasing isn't supported in the JDeveloper Code Editor, which is a shame, because that's the place where it's most needed.

  • ITunes Enhancement Suggestion

    Hi Folks,
    I'm trying to find the best way to submit a enhancement suggestion to Apple regarding the iTunes app and its interaction with my iPod...
    Like many of you I carry my iPod many places and have a variety of music (thus the versatility of this product)...
    However, outside of work I listen to music that might have explicit lyrics... But at work, due to my job its not feasible to have headphones on all the time... So I plug it into my speakers and listen to it quietly...
    What I would like is a way in iTunes to flag a song with explicit lyrics... And then in the iTune change a flag (like the compilations) to either on or off... If I have it to exclude them it would skip them.. but as I leave the building and walk to my car, I could reenable them and thus let them play...
    I mean this sounds worse than it is.. .I might only have a few songs with explicit lyrics... but then again some could be considered inappropriate for the business place... This feature would allow me to ensure that the music playing is appropriate for the setting around others... I could see this beneficial if you had kids in the car... Therefore the explicit lyrics wouldn't be visible and maybe need a code if you wanted to to reactivate it...
    Any other takers on this?
    And does anyone know how I would suggest this to Apple themselves? Or do they montior these newsgroups for ideas like this?
    Please let me know... THanks

  • Enhancement suggestions

    Just got a new Apple TV. I wondered if I really need it as my TV (Samsung 6 series) already got music streaming and internet capabilities. While I succeeded to a) get music played from Itunes, b) viewing photos and b) watching Youtube videos (a + b with the assistance of EyeConnect) this stand alone solution was brittle and far away from being sofa-compatible. The TV frequently lost the connection or I accidentally hit the wrong key and was back to TV functionality. The usability / ergonomy of Apple TV is superior to all you can do with the current internet capable TVs. Using an iphone as alternate remote control even gives you more comfort; the missing keyboard.
    I have a few suggestions for future enhancements: a) more apps!! (e.g. an internet browser), why not apps from teh appstore just like for ipad or iphone? For watching photos, it would be a nice to have full HD resolution and directly watching iphoto slideshows.
    I can really recommend this device, it has a very reasonable price.

  • Enhancement Suggestion

    As a future enhancement, can you HTML DB Team guys give WS admin the ability to do some WS customization ?
    e.g: Display X number of applications/pages on the main "Applications/Pages" page

    nottoc, consider adding the business value for the feature (e.g. increased developer productivity in a multiple database environment) to your suggestion.  This will help Microsoft prioritize it.

  • Where do i send iPhone software enhancement suggestions?

    I moved from a palm smartphone to the iPhone and noticed the calendar is lacking some basic functions.
    for instance...
    On Palm OS, the calendar can be configured to show you you closest upcoming appointment on the main screen. On the iphone i get no notification of anything going on until the appt reminder goes off. I dont see why apple cant put in a notice on the calendar saying you have an upcoming appt (little red circle)like it does with txt messaging and email. I would find that very useful alerting me to an upcoming event and to look at the calendar. just my $.02 So where can i send this so apple people can look at this?
    Jarett

    I replied to this before and the moderator deleted it.
    So this time I will just post Apple's official statement on this.
    If the moderators delete this one, I'm forwarding the email directly to Jobs.

  • Substantial usability improvement suggestions

    Adobe Reader iOS 10.4.3 (69879)
    In documents overview the convenient swipe gesture for "delete" already exists. What is about using gesture long tap (pressing/holding down) for
    Pop up dialogue "renaming" or even better
    treat that gesture like edit plus selection and offering immediately a local menu with items: 
    Open, Duplicate, Rename, Move to, Delete.
    In documents overview edit mode the functions duplicate, rename and delete start only one further popup to action, but the move needs one unnecessary step between, because the final dialogue for target choice does not have the proper headline.
    Regarding annotation or comment functions in reading mode:
    Have not found any undo for redlining, underlining, highlighting
    One solution could be toggling back those attributes on second operation
    Of course an undo button would be better.
    I miss default color settings for highlighting, underling, striking through, this could be placed in iOS system setting apps acrobat reader.
    Clicking existing annotations in normal reading mode leads opportunity to modify color as well as deleting, however, that is much too far away from the insertion action in annotation mode and user expectation of immediate correction. Otherwise it is good to have that 2nd way of highlighting selected text in reading mode.
    On transferring annotated unlocked! documents (back) to PC all my effort is getting lost.
    Annotations seems to be kept locally only on iPad instead of merging them with the documents, that behavior is very frustrating!
    Annotation tools bubble (the most left icon) and pen (most right icon) are not self explaining. Any short tap which is ok to open the other tool's dialogues does not work. In my case a longer tap (as for reading mode's local menu) is required to open notice dialogue, how shall I know this?
    The annotation mode tool bar is leaved by tapping up arrow icon at right margin...
    this seems to be inconsistently, because other bars at top are leaved by a type of return button at left margin.
    Minor issues
    Document renaming causes the loss of last reading position (i.e. last page memory) on re-opening.
    For info like this here a feedback button (without either further registration or login effort) should be introduced in iOS system setting apps acrobat reader info or inside AppStore.

    Please Upgrade X6's Firmware by incorporating atleast Support for Homescreen Widgets 'cos many applications on OVi we cannot install just bcos it doesnt support homescreen widgets...At present , i m using Orange TSunami Homescreen (third party application) to get shortcuts / widgets on my homescreen..
    Another feature is Add to favourites in contacts list just like in C6 model.
     Also Birthday reminders with Age in calender.
    Honsetly speaking I m a die hard fan of NOKIA & i hope u will never ever let me down by atleast upgrading this feature.
    When i see C6 & N97 models i feel like cheated.. i hope u will upgrade this feature in ur next coming firmware...
    Hoping 4 a postive action from ur side..

  • A few java enhancement suggestions

    I have just started using C# a bit after some years of heavy Java use. I am still a Java enthusiast, but a couple of features in C# I am finding very useful.
    - "out" and "ref" method parameters. These are so much easier when dealing with multiple results instead of making temp result container classes.
    - now that we have auto-boxing in 1.5, make arrays magically implement the List interface. I am finding it tremendously convenient to drop arrays where collections are wanted. Don't know how this interacts with generics/templates though.
    Cheers,
    Ray Blaak

    out and ref parameters are hell. I don't miss it.
    People who use it tend to end up with code very
    difficult to maintain.With what language did you find out/ref args difficult to maintain?
    I have found problems in C++/Delphi/Ada where one could not easily tell by reading source code calls that args were being modified.
    However, C#'s simple solution: force the "out" and "ref" keywords in the call as well. Makes things clear.
    I find myself getting tired of the tedious of creating little wrapper classes whenever I need to have multiple results.
    Certainly if one abuses the feature there are problems, but having just discovered them again after using Java for so long, I am impressed by their usefulness.

  • Enhancement suggestion: debugging pl/sql scripts

    It would be really nice if you could use the PL/SQL debugger on blocks of PL/SQL that are run as a script through the worksheet, rather than only PL/SQL functions and packages.

    Here is a hack that lets you do this...
    Right-click on any proc, func or pkg in the Connections object tree and select "Debug". When the Debug option dialog comes up, copy and paste your anonymous pl/sql block into the code window of the dialog. The debugger will step through whatever you paste in there, even if it doesn't call the proc, func or pkg that you clicked in the Connections window.
    The disadvantage is that SQL Developer seems to store the anonymous block you pasted as the default for debugging whatever proc. you clicked on, so the next time you want to actually debug it, you will have to re-type a short block that calls that proc. to debug it. Of course, you could create a dummy proc. that does nothing, which you could use exclusively to debug anonymous pl/sql blocks.

  • Enhancement suggestion for Apple

    Love my iPad - not one complaint.
    It would be really cool if we could name our home pages with logical names - in iTunes where we move our apps around to be on specific pages, they have a number. A name would be cool.
    I'd be happy if the names appeared on the iPad screen via an option box in a menu so not everyone has to see or use the home screen name option.

  • IPhoto Enhancement Suggestion

    I like the concept of events. However, it would be great if you could easily navigate the events by year / event name as you can in iMovie '08.
    Additionally, it would be great if all the iLife apps (specifically, iMovie and iPhoto) could follow the UI model that iTunes has pioneered - the ability to quickly filter by genre, artists, title, etc. or just plain search in the top right-hand corner. I could see something similar in iPhoto or iMovie with a standard search box at the top right of iPhoto and iMovie as well as a 3-paned filter (like iTunes) to be able to quickly filter down by Year > Event > Photo (or something similar).
    The more streamlined the iLife apps are in terms of consistent UI features, the easier it is for people like me to switch and feel right at home after having used iTunes for Windows.
    Not sure if this is the place to post this, but hopefully someone will see it.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • X1 Suggestion for enhancement of System

    HI all,Have had X1 for 1 week and wanted to make the following enhancement suggestions. 1) For DVR recordings change save system to allow for creation of folders for recording to be filed into  so recording are not in one big list all comingled and hard to get through.  Putting them in folders setup by enduser is a feature Dish and others have seems like a simple function to add for Comcast. 2) Develop a remote with a 30 sec forward skip button 3) 2 Key remote functions missing in todays day and age:  Button to change TV line input choice, Lighted remote buttons. 4) X1 remote badly needs a AUX button....the "All On" function works for the TV but does not allow for control to turn on our home theater receiver so the cutting edge tech now has us using 2 remotes when the old tech we used the one Comcast remote to control everything. Thanks!

    It should be noted the Harmony 900 is discontinued and new units are expensive and getting very rare. I have a Harmony One and yesterday I ordered a refurbished 900. The new Harmony remotes are equally capable. In fact they offer smartphone and tablet control. However the new Harmony remotes are not designed as well as the 900. Having the 0-9 channel buttons on a touchscreen is a really bad idea. Personally I think the Harmony One and Harmony 900 have the best button layout and design of ANY universal remote. When Comcast was designing X1, one of their biggest motivations was removing buttons from the remote. I was told the TV input button on the silver remote was the one of the biggest sources of service calls. flguy2 is right. The only way to accomplish what you want is to get a good universal remote. However the old silver/Moto remote runs my Arris made X1 DVR just fine... flguy2 wrote:
    Hi.  I have also had the X1 for about a week now.  Here are some additional comments regarding your ideas, plus a solution to your 30 skip ahead. 1) The folder idea is interesting, but I notice the X1 already "groups" saved shows.  So for example, all my American Idol recordings are rolled up into one and I just have to click it to expand.  Have you noticed this?  Maybe you are referring to folders as generic names you can make up, such as "Space" or "Documentaries" and manually move your shows in there?  Also, at the very top you can sort by date or A-Z.  The old Scientific Atlanta I had use to allow a third sort by channel, so that is the only thing missing in my opinion.  Also, you can search for content and it will pull up your saved recordings.  If you have the X1 remote control/voice app for your iPhone or tablet, you can just speak what you want and it will show up.  Very handy. 2) You can implement a 30 sec skip button using the instructions from this page: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57606944-285/how-to-program-a-30-second-skip-button-for-xfinity-x1/  It worked flawlessly for me.  And by the way, this trick programs the skip-ahead inside the BOX not the remote.  I actually use a Harmony 900 for everything and once I implemented the skip ahead using the Xfinity remote, I didn't have to change anything on my Harmony, it just worked. 3) Buy a universal remote like the Harmony 900 for this.  The latest Harmonys use RF just like the Xfinity remote.  So for example, on my Harmony 900 there is an LCD screen at the top where I can program various functions for any one of my media devices (speakers, TV, etc).  The Harmony remote also has backlit keys, which light up when you move the remote around. 4) See #3.  The programmable universal remotes are great because there is SO much customization you can do.  The Harmony brand by Logitech comes with a USB and you program it via their web site or separately downloaded software.  If this sounds too complicated than you may not like it, but it will ultimately give you exactly what you want.  You can even control fans and lights with it, pretty much anything that has an IR or RF receiver built into it. Additional idea/improvement:  I miss the ability to skip ahead by DAY in the channel guide.  For example, if I am the Discovery Channel, I would like to see what is on at 8pm the following 4 nights.  There is no easy way to do this.  With the old non-X1 guide you could select your channel then the whole guide would become a vertical listing of the shows on that channel for upcoming times and you could page up/down by day.  I don't see a way to do that with the X1. 

  • Suggestions on creating a data visualization solution

    Hello All,
    A website provides to its surfers some data (statistics actually) in form of .xls documents.The data is actually some stats like say in one excel that covers one social welfare scheme you would have one row for a state/region of a country and different columns like Total money allocated by the federal govt, TM sanctioned by a regional govt, Money allocated to a city authority , money that actually went to the end user..  stuff like that. The columns run to many in some cases and there is different kinds of such data.
    After I came in touch with this data I realised that the hard work done by the guys who gathered this data, gets ignored because of not so friendly data format. The end user is supposed to crunch numbers and that too after labouring between the excel cells. I am thinking of some way in which this data could be made more presentable. I was suggested by a developer friend to check if flex could be used and thats how I arrived here.
     I myself work on Linux based systems and have also coded in Perl. I can't pay for the licensed version of Flex with IDE so I will go for SDK.
    Could you guys could tell me if flex would be the right choice for the this kind of problem,  in which case I would dig further to study Flex and AS.
    Suggestion and comments are more than welcome
    -Pranab

    This is really an infographic design problem rather than just one of pure technology. Flex could help you or you could use Flash, but you need to look to using good inforgaphics with a drill down capability. It's not straight-forward. There is no magic-bullet capability in Flex to make this data easily accessible.
