Safari Feature Suggestions

This would be a very quick feature to add that would be very helpful to those of us coming from Firefox:
In Firefox (and I think IE) there is a keyboard shortcut that adds "www." to the beginning and ".com" to the end of what is typed into the URL address field. How it works in Firefox:
1. Type domain core in address field, i.e., "apple"
2. Press command and return at the same time, this changes the address field to "www.apple.com" and submits the address to the browser.
This is a quick and easy shortcut that I am missing very much when using Safari.

Try using OpenDNS for your network settings; it should complete domains for you, while your ISP's DNS servers likely will not.

Get safari feature where you type a letter and press enter and have it go to the webpage

I like firefox much more than safari, but I really like the safari feature where it suggests webpages. For example, say the last webpage I went on that starts with an "f" is facebook. All I would need to do is type in "f" and press enter and it will take me to facebook. Is there an extension or something that will bring that feature to firefox?

A possibility is to bookmark a site and assign a keyword to it.

ITunes User Feature Suggestions

I think it would be beneficial for Apple and the users to have a dedicated thread
for User based feature suggestions ,So with this in mind I hope you add this as a sticky or ad this as a category all it's own .

A built in album art/pdf. viewer : As Music makes it's change more and more over to digital distribution artists are making the art/packaging available in.pdf and ,or embed in the mp3's themselves however the user "experience" in this is laking .
A built in viewer for the "digital booklets " and embedded art would add that missing streamlined sexy appeal we mac users are missing and accustomed to .

Keyword Bugs and Some Keywording Improvement / Feature Suggestions

Tagging Bugs and Some Improvement / Feature Suggestions
Please excuse where I should use the word Tag or Keyword or vice versa!
1.       BUG?    If a tag synonym is added or changed then all affected photos should be marked for re-publish. I do not think this currently happens.   Should this possibly be considered a bug?
2.       BUG?    When viewing a smart collection in a Flickr publish service and a new tag is added to a photo it is correctly moved to the “requires re-publish” section.   However … the thumb selection in the grid moves to the next photo, the loop view remains on the photo just tagged and the key wording still reflects the just tagged photo.    The selection shown in the grid appears to be wrong.      When working quickly this can result in tagging errors as the user looking on the grid believes he is working on the next highlighted photo in the grid.      This is surely a bug?
3.       BUG?      A minor point and I realise this is probably not the correct way to do things … but a double word synonym entered with quotes for example “Ice Climbing” will create two tags “Ice” and “Climbing” at the flicker end of things.    Removal of this synonym and forcing a re-publish does not delete these two tags at the flicker end of things.    I may have miss-understood, but perhaps it is best for LR not to allow quoted tags?
4.       SUGGESTION      An easier and more powerful way to review tagging of current photos should be provided whereby it is possible to clearly see the current tagging of a photo and have immediate access to the keyword list at the same time to make corrections.    Having both the Keywording and Keyword List panels open in Library mode results in a lot of up and down scrolling for me and is a slightly inelegant UI in my opinion.   I would suggest it should at very least be possible to have the tags viewable in Loop info as an option - so long as no truncation is made and all tags visible.    Ideally a better way should be sought.
5.       SUGGESTION      It would be very useful when reviewing tagging to select to show all photos in the currently selected folder or set which do not contain the selected tag.    Note, I don’t think this can be easily achieved by using a keyword filter and selecting all keywords and unselecting the tag of interest as the pictures may have many tags.    The same might be performed by textual based searches but this is inelegant and its slowness precludes a browsing approach.     For example – for me it would be useful to look at all my mountain shots in a trip which have not been tagged with “Glacier” and it will be immediately visually apparent where I need to make tagging corrections.    I would suggest a “Not” checkbox is made available on the top of each column in the library filter – this may also provide a great deal of power for other situations.
6.       SUGGESTION      It would be useful to allow a means of showing all pictures with a certain tag but which have not been tagged yet with any children of said tag.   For example all pictures tagged with Glacier which I have not yet named the glacier by introducing a relevant child tag or selecting an existing child tag.    A similar situation occurs for wildlife and potentially many other scenarios … I would like to use a tag “Butterfly” which I can quickly use on my first pass… and then do the identification and child tagging on a second pass using appropriate filtering.   This allows for a step wise or “top down” approach to tag classifying things in a workflow.    I appreciate this can be achieved (as I do now) by using a child tag called “Unnamed butterfly” or “Unnamed Glacier” but it seems more powerful, elegant and generically applicable to be able to filter on a “not tagged with a child” basis.
I apologise if I have missed the point on some existing functionality on any of these points and welcome any suggestions.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.

I hope the tech teams are reading this.

Safari not suggesting passwords

I have been trying to figure out how to have Safari 7 suggest passwords and it will not suggest 1. It is syncing keychain information via iCloud as I expect but what is the trick to have Safari generate a password?
Mavericks, Safari 7, iOS 7.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Passwords tab.
Make sure: AutoFill user names and passwords is selected.

Backlighting Feature Suggestions?

Where the heck is the iPod feature suggestion area?
There definitely needs to be separate backlighting controls/timing for running on battery power and running on AC/DC/USB power.
Powered example: when I'm plugged into my car connection, which is powered, I want to be able see the display. Would be nice to do that without scrolling through the menu everytime. The display is impossible to read dark.
Battery example: when the iPod is in my pocket, backpack or whatever running on battery power, it doesn't need to remain backlit long. I can't see it anyway.
Seems like options to set for each type of power would be useful to most users.
I primarily listen in my car and via the home stereo. I rarely run on battery power/headphones.

I don't want to have to manually set the backilight setting for whatever condition I am using the iPod. It should be smart enough to know when it is connected to a power source and when it is not.
When it is connected to a power source I want the opition to set it to "Always On" and when I am on battery I want it to automatically set to a specified amount of time (i.e 5 seconds).
I also like the option of having it cycle on for a few seconds when the song changes.

Feature suggestion for Safari

This might have been requested before, but I couldn't find it anywhere on this forum so here it goes.
It would be great to have expanding menu for different Internet TLDs under .com-button, just like there's one under a-button for umlauts. For example having .net, .org and .info in menu would make surfing a bit easier. Also adding country spesific TLDs according to users language/location preferences would be nice.

Actually the localization is certainly there for .co.uk for my English (UK) keyboard. I'd never realized that before.
cheers

P.S. It's just a shame OS X is trying to get me to change my spelling to 'realised' and 'localisation' even though I have British English set for OS X.

How do I prevent Safari from suggesting previously visited websites?

Hi all, I am going nuts here!!
How do I stop Safari on my ipad mini from suggesting a long list of old websites everytime I start entering a website ?
Yes, I have cleared cache and I have cleared the history as well as the Cookies & Data in Settings.
I have tried using Private Browser mode without luck.
I do I stop this??!!!?
I can of course completely wipe and reset the iPad, but thats no good as that will remove all my apps and everything.
There´s gotta be a way to do.
Also another question: When I first started the iPad Mini up, it somehow imported all my bookmarks from my windows machine..?!?!
How is that possible? I never imported anything
I don´t want that either ! And everytime I receive an SMS on my iPhone, everybody can read it on the iPad too. Incredibly annoying when your kids are borrowing it all the time.
How do I stop these things from happening too?
I want my iPad to be completely separed from all other devices and NOT get any kind of info. sync from any other devices.
Anyone knows how to do all this?
/Peter
P.S. Oh, and another thing: I have a normal iPad too, but Safaris missing on it. How do I get it back? I thought you couldn´t delete it at all?? But if I do a search it doesn´t come up at all?!?!

System Preferences...

deselect the option, "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps"
This is a resume feature of Lion, where the system remembers all your open applications and windows ... If you're not used to it, it can be a bit jarring having everything load up automatically.

How do you make an itunes feature suggestion to Apple?

I'm trying to find a place to make an itunes feature suuggestion to Apple, but all I seem to be able to find is a "request music" link...
If this is the only place, then here is my suggestion...
I am a video editor and I use itunes to play my music, but also to audition sound effects and production music tracks. But when I do a shuffle play of my entire library, I don't really want to hear these sfx and songs (or the audiobooks I've taken from an audiobook CDs).
Therefore, I think it would be useful if there was some kind of "flag" that said "this is not a song" or "don't include in shuffle".
Alternatively, what would be great for me, is if itunes could have multiple libraries, then I could have a normal music library, a sfx and production music library and an audiobook library.
Anyway, I guess I can dream.
Chris.

The iTunes feedback is confusing indeed. I use the general Feedback page to report bugs and to do suggestions.
They assure that the messages will be read, but you won't get a reply.
As this is a user-to-user forum, it is highly unlikely your suggestions will be read by Apple employees (except moderators).
You can exclude songs from shuffling by checking 'Skip when Shuffling' in the 'Options' tab of the Info window (Get Info of a song; shortcut: command-I)
Unfortunately, you can only do this song by song.
Using this script, you can enable/disable 'Skip when Shuffling' of all selected songs.
You could put the songs/sfx in a playlist, select them all (command-A) and run the script.
To run multiple libraries, you can choose between these two applications:
iTunes Library Manager and Libra.
Although not real instant switchable libraries, both apps. can create multiple 'iTunes Library' files, which enables you to have separate libraries for all kinds of files.
Hope this helps.

Feature suggestions for Lightroom 3

Hi team,
Here's a quick summary of some ideas for LR3. Not sure how late in the dev cycle you guys are (we've seen one public beta so far, I would expect 2 or 3 before you go RTM, and features have not yet been frozen according to my reading):
* Perspective correction / Keystoning: This has been mentioned a lot here and on other forums - a no-brainer, especially considering that DNG 1.3 specifications allow for it
* Individual RGB channel control: Something that Capture One & Bibble 5 also have. It's time LR added this feature also, I think
* Soft-proofing: Hate to bang the drum on this one, but the LR interface could benefit from a readout of which colour space we're operating in for the current image, along with the ability to change this (I would think a simple drop down would do the trick, similar to the Tone Curve type). This is especially true on account of the fact that Library and Develop use different color spaces to display images (not a bug, a feature - but an obscure one at that)
* Layers: While I understand the LR team's resistance to layers as a concept (or at least calling it that, since the Adjustment Brush effectively - and very nicely - implements layers in a fashion), it would be handy to have. For example - let me rearrange the order in which Adjustments are applied. As a panel in Develop, this could easily be ignored by anyone not wanting to use (or who doesn't understand) Layers as part of their workflow. Leaving it out to "keep things simple" is not a good idea, IMMHO. After all, LR is targetted primarily at Pro Photographers and Advanced Enthusiasts - who should know how to use Layers, or at least be willing to learn!
* If not layers, then perhaps a list of Adjustment Brush pins in a scrollable list, so I can select them based on the adjustments I've made. Perhaps I could then re-order this list? The key challenge here would be how best to label each one?
* Selections / Adjustment Brush: Having Bezier, Rectangle, Ellipse and Free-form as selection options (along with the ability to invert these easily so I can do "Negative" selections where that's quicker) would be fantastic - this is something LightZone and Bibble both have
* Paint with Preset: At the moment, the range of settings I can apply with the Adjustment Brush is limited to a half-dozen or so. I can't paint White Balance, Sharpening (at least not with masking), Noise Reduction, or HSL adjustments, for example. This would give me lots of very granular control. It would be fabulous if we had a "Paint with Preset" option or a "Preset Brush" that let me create a Preset, then paint it on at various opacities (combined with the ability to invert selections, this would be extremely powerful).
* Blend Brush: An alternative to the Paint With Preset might be the ability to "Paint with another Image" over the current one. This might be useful for blending multiple exposures (e.g. to remove people in landscapes, or to do simple selective HDR blending from multiple exposures). Having the ability to set the "Blend Mode" (similar to PS's Blend Modes) might also be helpful. I imagine this new brush would work in a similar fashion to the current Adjustment brush, only it would be combining information from multiple images. It might be useful to have a "2-up" display similar to compare mode that shows the "Source" and "Target" images side by side (with the ability to zoom in and out)
* Grayscale Wedge: Would it be possible to have a greyscale wedge that could be displayed beside or underneath an image in Develop? LightZone has a fantastic implementation of controlling image Zone information using a simple point and click on the wedge. Well worth checking out. It would certainly make adjusting tones in the image a lot more intuitive for some people. I think this concept could be taken a step further.
* Luminosity Mask: The ability to "Auto Mask" an image based on its luminosity (i.e. which Zone an area falls into) would be way cool as part of the Adjustment Brush. That way, you could control individual zones easily. I imagine this tool would have 2 sliders: "Luminosity" (from light to dark) - which would determine the "target" luminosity to Mask; and "Threshold" which would determine the "Width" of the selection in tonal terms. Holding down the Option key on either slider would show a dynamically generated Mask overlay to help me determine which areas the Mask is applying to
* Color Mask: See Luminosity Mask above. Same idea, but based on Color. Perhaps a Color Picker tool would enable me to isolate a Color and create a Mask (which I could then refine using the Erase or AB tools if necessary). This would have HSL sliders to select the target color, and a "Threshold" slider to control the "Tolerance" either side. Again, using the Option key would give me a preview similar to the Sharpening / NR tools
* Perhaps the Selection Tools, Luminosity and Color Masks above could be combined into a "Smart Mask" panel (or panels) in the Adjustment Brush tool, making it more consistent with the current interface, and making it much easier to create masks with the Adjustment Brush
* Ability to Maintain Color Profiles inside LR, without having to restart. I use the X-rite CC Passport to generate Color Profiles at almost every shoot. It might be helpful to have an easy way to maintain these Profiles (and to share them like we can share presets!). At very least, add an option in Preferences to open the appropriate Folder so I don't have to go hunting for it.
While the early LR3 beta is encouraging, I do think it is missing many user-requested features, and features its "competitors" already have. In my view, Lightroom needs to stay ahead of the curve to gain market share.
Once again, congratulations on creating a fantastic tool in Lightroom. It just keeps getting better with every version (LR3 looks amazing so far for an early beta - love the improved demosaic sharpness and NR).
Hope these suggestions are helpful.
Cheers,
Matthew

Six changes that would be basic improvements - sorry if these look like bug reports, but they have lasted through all the updates and upgrades and I consider them to be overripe for improvement.
For mouse-heavy users it would be helpful to have a Grid icon in the toolbar in the Develop module, the same as appears in the Library module.
The consistency of having a Done button in all places that present a secondary work screen would make leaving those screens simpler.
When organizing folders, keeping the focus local after a Delete would be good, instead of the focus jumping up to a higher level as it does, requiring a search for your location. If you're making a lot of changes this can be time-consuming and frustrating. I know some other program do this, but not all and it's solvable.
When moving a folder of files, the last file doesn't get moved and could wind up in some random place if you don't suspect this and go after it to move it by itself. This seems to be unique to Lightroom.
In leaving Compare, it's not clear which image you're keeping because the filename isn't visible, only the rating (if used). Changing the rating to exit can disable the Done button. To get it back it shouldn't be necessary to swap the images. Why not use a more standard release action like the Escape key?
In LR 3.3, when using the noise reduction slider the option to update the whole filmstrip to use version 2010 is available only if the demonstration "compare" screen is retained with a box checked. If you uncheck that box, there's no way to get that screen back the next time, so the option to update to 2010 for the whole filmstrip at once is gone and subsequently requires one-by-one clicking to update. This could be simpler and faster.
I use LR every day and teach it, but I may have missed something so forgive my naming ills that have already been mentioned. Thanks for listening. DKD

Feature suggestion --Is there ability to "Save Set" of tabs or windows?

I'm posting this here in case it is Safari functionality that already exists. Otherwise I hope Apple considers adding this very useful feature to Safari in the future. Perhaps other browsers offer this feature...
When I research a topic, I often open many windows. For example, if I am researching a topic for a paper on Akira Kurosawa or I am comparing reviews of digital cameras and open various pages with reviews and data. Over several days or weeks, I may wish to return to these pages, and it seems to do this I must always "open all windows from last session" every time I start Safari (or leave it running). As I am unaware of another solution, I have to do this often, and it is a pain and leaves always the possibility I will lose a "set" if I forget to go through this process each time I launch Safari.
It would seem to be to be easy and sensible functionality for the user to be able to save a window (with all its tabs) or even the entire set of open windows, using a name of the user's choosing, to come back to later. Thus I might open ten tabs on cameras, then save the entire set as "camera reviews" and access it later; clicking it would open all the tabs. Another file I might save is "Kurosawa" and this might open a Safari window with another set of tabs on the movie director.
Any thoughts on this? I would use it all the time if it was available!

I'm not sure if this is implemented in your version of Safari, but see if there is an option in the Bookmarks menu to save an existing set of open tabs in a window. It is implemented in Safari 5, and it may be implemented in Safari 4.
You may also check out Glims as well as other third-party utilities that most likely provide a similar feature.

New feature suggestion: Graphic Pitch Adjustment

Hey all -- Digital Performer user here, but soon to make the move to Logic (as soon as the new desktops come out in 2008). There is just one major time-saving feature I am missing in Logic, and I thought I'd post it here. I've also sent this suggestion to Apple .
That feature is the ability to graphically adjust audio pitch. Digital Performer has, for a couple of years, had the ability to analyze pitch on any audio as soon as it's recorded, and then allow users to graphically adjust it +*right in the audio track*+. I'm an owner of Antares' Auto Tune plugin, which has graphical adjustment ability, but it's a real pain. Also, it's a plug-in, and not inherent right in the audio track. Here's a link to the page for that feature at MOTU's site:
http://www.motu.com/products/software/dp/features46/pitch-automation.html
Again, this feature is a huge time saver, and something I really can't do without.

So that's basically Melodyne Plugin but built right in the track view. Would be handy I suppose - I've just come from SONAR which has it's own version of this (called V-Vocal) but it's not quite so integrated as the DP example you linked to.

XSQL new feature suggestion: transform="url" for xsql:query

To the Oracle XML developers:
I'd like to suggest adding the transform="url" attribute/feature to the <xsql:query> action.
This would allow one to transform and/or apply XSLT conditional logic to the posted XML before it reaches the <xsql:query> action. A couple of key areas where I think this would be very useful are:
1. handling multiple HTML parameters of the same name.
Currently, the only way to handle this in an <xsql:query> action is to call a Java program via <xsql:action> that can parse the rowified parameters of the same name, then transform it in a format suitable for the <xsql:query>.
2. verifying user session login status for password protected XSQL pages.
If one could use XSLT to check user authentication BEFORE the <xsql:query> action you could display a login page if the user is not authenticated.
Since the transform="url" feature is already available for other tags (<xsql:update>, <xsql:delete>, etc) I would think adding this to the <xsql:query> action would not require extensive coding from the Oracle XML development team, and yet this simple but powerful feature could help us users to develop pure XML solutions that don't require calls to external Java actions.
Michael

There would also be able to simply add the "perspective"as in Photoshop, probablyeasier to develop and integrate the interface.
