Is there any plan for Numbers to read openOffice spreadsheets?

I get many different file formats, including xls and ods... and really want to work with only one application... is there any plan to expand the compatibility of numbers to include OpenOffice?

That's like saying if you want to use XLS, why not just install Excel? Either iWork is trying to be compatible with other formats or it isn't. Since it has XLS support, there's a fairly good chance that it is trying to be compatible, and supporting the ISO standard opendocument formats would be a wise move on Apple's part, regardless of whether or not another product supported the format, no?

    are there any plans for apple tv to be true hd 1080 rather then "just" 720. 

    I agree, but there should not be any disagreement for a standard that has been defined, and I think the OP doesn't understand the standard. So I was just trying to help.

    No (except for the costs of having your legal team check the license). You do need to read the license carefully, you are making specific commitments and there are specific restrictions.

  • Are there any plans for Firefox Sync to include the customisation of the toolbar?

    It's frustrating that Firefox sync doesn't include toolbar customisation data. It's otherwise a great piece of functionality that means when installing Firefox I don't have to set anything up apart from remembering to rearrange the buttons to my preference. This also goes for whether the menu and bookmarks toolbar are displayed.

    hi gsoper, i've asked in the firefox sync channel about this and it's not something that is on the roadmap for sync at the moment, as that would be difficult across versions, platforms, when add-ons differ, and so on...

  • Any plan for "BIA process types" for Process Chains?

    Hi,
    This morning one of our blades (with Versoin 49) become unresponsive due to memory leak; RFC server on the blade was not releasing the memory. As you know by now, when it happens we restart the server on that blade and things start working until the next time.
    As a preventative measure, we would like to create a program and put in a process chain to restart the RFC and Index servers for all the blades everynight. Do you have any program already to do so? We identfied the api's already but wanted to see if somebody already doing this.
    Or even better, is there any plan for creating new "BIA process types" for the process chains that we can drag/drop instead of writing programs?
    Cheers

    It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.

    No one here can answer your question, as there is no one from Apple here, & no one here represents Apple or speaks for Apple.

  • Is there any planned support for the "do not back up" extended attribute for iOS

    Starting in iOS 5.0.1, Apple has introduced a new "do not back up" extended file attribute that will allow an app to store downloaded data into the application folder.  Is there any planned support for setting this attribute within an AIR application or is there currently a way to set this attribute using the existing AIR SDK.

    Yes, this is exactly what I'm wondering too. Without it, we can't build any apps that download content without the risk of the content being deleted.
    Here's the background before Apple introduced the new "do not back up" attribute:
    http://www.marco.org/2011/10/13/ios5-caches-cleaning
    Fortunately, Apple addressed it after that blog post in 5.0.1. See bullet #4 here, quoted below
    https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/data-storage/
    Q:  My app has a number of files that need to be stored on the device permanently for my app to function properly offline. However, those files do not contain user data and don't need to be backed up. How should I store those files in iOS 5?
    A: Starting in iOS 5.0.1 a new "do not back up" file attribute has been introduced allowing developers to clearly specify which files should be backed up, which files are local caches only and subject to purge, and which files should not be backed up but should also not be purged. In addition, setting this attribute on a folder will prevent the folder and all of its contents from being backed up.
    Important: The new "do not back up" attribute will only be used by iOS 5.0.1 or later. On iOS 5.0 and earlier, applications will need to store their data in <Application_Home>/Library/Caches to avoid having it backed up. Since this attribute is ignored on older systems, you will need to insure your app complies with the iOS Data Storage Guidelines on all versions of iOS that your application supports.
    Now we just need Adobe to support the attribute in the AIR SDK. What do you say Adobe?

  • Is there any plan to create a HTML5 shell for flash player apps & interactive elements?

    Is there any plan to create a HTML5 shell for flash player apps and elements? The canvas option is very limited and many apps & old, interactive flash elements no longer work on most mobile devices. 

    HTML5 is the "anti-flash", so to speak. It requires no plug-ins. HTML5 is MP4 which is QuickTime video. That's the "shell" for it.
    Steve Jobs said in 2006, when iOS was first released, that "playing Flash content is processor consumptive and drains batteries in mobile devices, reducing their life." That's why Apple iOS devices have never been compatible with Flash, and also why Android dropped support for the technology in June of 2012.
    Android has "Dolphin" and "Puffin" browsers, which render Flash content (video and animations) "server side" to reduce the load on mobile devices running Android. Likewise, Apple has "SkyFire" which works the same way, but is designed specifically for iOS.
