Software features that would be nice...

I thought we should begin posting what we would like to see (software-wise) in future updates of the iPod and iTunes software. Unless someone has already started a thread like this!
Right off the bat, I would like to request the following;
It would be super-nice to be able to press and hold the center button on the 5G iPod while watching a video in order to set a bookmark or sorts so that you could return to the same spot later to continue watching from that point. This is useful for me, since I have been digitizing DVDs I own with the director's commentary to listen to while at work, but, in the car, I would like to simply listen to music again. I want to be able to bookmark my place in the movie, go play music for the drive home, then be able to return to the movie later - right where I left off. A menu option could be included to remove bookmarks for this particular video or all bookmarks in general.
If there is a way to do this currently, I have had no luck in producing the desired effect!
Besides that, man, I LOVE this iPod! Thanks, Apple!

A few features that would be nice to have

- Fluid grid layout for responsive design (why not just merge Edge Reflow with Muse??)
- Ability to create themes for CMS systems like Wordpress
- Ability to display an image sequence on scroll (so can display a 3d image sequence)

Hi Calin,
1) how does one install jRuby? Where are the jars? I was hoping the JSR 223 integration would be here: http://java.net/projects/scripting/downloads but it's not. How come it's not distributed with the tool?
- we do not distribute scripting engines - they communicate with JRE not with Data Modeler - if you plug scripting engine into your Java then DM will recognize it and allow to be used
- you can download JRuby from http://jruby.org/download
- extract the archive and copy jruby.jar file to ext directory - "Java\jdk1.6.0_27\jre\lib\ext"
2) is it possible to attach custom triggers to tables? Is there a better way other than using Scripts -> After Create?It's not clear what you mean with "*custom* trigger" - you can create regular trigger in physical model - under table node you can find "triggers " node and you can use context menu to create trigger.
3) It would be nice if multiple classifications could be attached to tables, so the multiple classifications can be used by multiple scripts.. For example a table can be both a fact (generate some things..) and have audit columns (attach a trigger >to maintain them), etc.Your example doesn't clarify the need for more then one classification

A Feature that would be Nice: Song Name Popup

I hear a song over and over again in iTunes and I still don't ever remember the name of it, and I would be too busy to switch to iTunes and look at the song name (and I don't want to do that every time). So I think that there should be an option to display one of those popup gray boxes that shows up in a corner that would display the song name, song artist, and album name.

Flash productivity features that would be nice to have...

I am sure these kind of questions were asked many times by users, but for some reason, these features are not available in Flash, although to me at least, it seems logical that they should be..
But, it is either to complicated to implement them, because of how the Library/Symbol features are implemented, and we just need to adjust and use Flash in the few ways it can be used.
Nevertheless, i would like to have the option to:
swap a single instance at once on multiple keyframes on the Timeline,
rename a single instance at once on multiple keyframes on the Timeline,
duplicate and rename multiple symbols in the Library at once,
annoying Spacebar behavior: you have to click on stage before the hand tool appears and then you can move the stage,
distribute to Symbols - as in, select multiple shapes, txt, images or whatever objects you have on Stage, and convert them all to symbols on-the-fly,
rename multiple instances at once on multiple keyframes on the Timeline,
these are only from the top of my head at the moment, i am sure people can add more of their own to the list...
If there are ways to achieve these, or at least some, i apologize and please do englighten me...

I did that before i posted this message
But i think the only way that will happen is if i get my hands dirty with Qt and C++...

I am facing issue when opening flash files in Flash CC. (error:- This file was created with a later release of Flash Professional and might contain new features that would be lost when saved in the current format.)

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:
BJReis wrote:
. This may be due to somewhat older equipment:
GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with a 4GB memory computer with Ddr3 running OSX 10.8.4
To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Short list of features that would be a nice addition to Pages for iPad

So I just finished my first major document on Pages for iPad and there are just a few things that I think would be nice additions.
1. My biggest problem was font size, I was typing something that required changing the font size every so often, and it got really frustrating having to tap the button, scroll down, tap the font options button, and then change the size. So the easy fix would be to add a little font size adjuster on the main task bar, on the right side maybe, there's a bunch of space up there!
2. Dedicated copy/paste button. I think it would be nice to add a little copy paste button on then main task bar, on the left side
3. Another annoying thing is knowing when bold/italic/underline/center left,right,middle was on or off. I think simply making them it a bit darker when it was on would help a bunch, similar to how the shift button turns blue when you turn on caps lock.
4. Organizing documents into folders, it would be nice if you could organize documents into folders because I can see once you get a bunch of documents up it would get a bit clustered, maybe a search function to?
Feel free to give your opinion or share ideas of what you think should be added!

Make sure you also post all that in the channel where Apple looks first for such info:

New feature that would be handy

I do a lot of live recording, In one night the maybe 30 - 40 tracks played, Most of the time i treat them all with the same settings but not always, what i think would be a great idea is to turn material between markers into new arrangements, so for example i could get the 30 tracks marker them all up push a button and vola logic has made 30 different arrangements for me to work on each track individually, even better would be a checker box to choose which would and wouldn't auto arrange.
I have found in quite annoying today, i have tracked whole album (13 tracks) from reel to reel. To save time i set up the arrangement, pressed record in logic and ran both reels through as one arrangement. I now have to cut paste, consolidate, optimize and clan up each individual track. This takes ages. The idea above would have cured this.

I am in situations at times (Most times) when it is not possible to stop record and create a new arrangement, arm all tracks for record, making sure all inputs are correct and press record, such as a live night.
One thing i have noticed which i would say is a bug, is that when i edit my tracks down to 1 track then save as new project, and select leave unused audio it still brings all the audio that is part of that file rather than optimizing it first, at least they could get this right.
As for logic going corrupt, I have never had a file gone corrupt on me in all my years of using it (Since about 95 - 96 on a pc) even when an arrangement does go corrupt or bad the audio files will still stay in tact. I tend to make a copy (Using finder) before working on any long audio recordings. Just means that i tend to be working in Gb rather than Mb.
i agree it would make much more sense to record in a track by track situation but it is not always possible. i do find audiotrack (Came with my 896HD) a bit more reliable for recording long sessions and tend to use that and save as omf which i can import into logic at a later date.

Adding a Hardware feature that would DEFINITELY sell a lot.

Hello Everyone,
I have a brilliant Idea to add to current hardware of your laptop, that I GUARANTEE, will give a reason to carry laptop everytime they travel. I wish to sell my Idea to HP. Please help me on how/who do I propose my idea.
Thanks,

Dock: dwell setting would be "nice-to-have"

FireFox's "Tab Mix Plus" extension offers a feature that would be "nice-to-have" for the Dock. I've got my dock in the "automatically hide and show" mode. Often I mistakenly move my mouse to the edge of the display where the dock is hidden; but the amount of dwell time required to un-hide the dock is not under my control. I would like to be able to set the number of msec that the cursor must dwell on that edge before the dock unhides. As it is, when the dock launches, the only thing I can do to hide it again is to move my cursor off that edge. Often, I do this while cursing...
Is there anything (OS extension, etc.) available now that could add this capability to OS10.4.10? TIA for any info.

Tnx for the feedback, Thomas, but what you are suggesting is imho a band-aid rather than a real solution. I normally have the dock on the right side of my screen, where it conflicts with scrollbars on or near that same area. True, moving the dock to the opposite side "fixes" that problem (so thanks!) but as I am right-handed, I'd really want to keep the dock there.
Sooo... Anyone know how to add dwell-time to the activation of the dock? Apple, are you listening... this would be a cool improvement, adding an innovation that is a real time-saver in FireFox tab handling.

How can I merge all of the new FF windows that are open into one window with multiple tabs? Safari has a merge windows feature that I like. This is really nice when conducting reasearch on multiple sites at the same time.

When I clik on weblinks they all open into new windows making it somewhat painful to clik on window in the menu bar to go to each new page. I would rather have a feature that would allow me to merge all of those individual windows into tabs within one page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Thank you. That worked. I was able to open 1 window with multiple tabs. Thanks cor-el!

I cannot remember the name of a certain feature that use to be available. This feature would allow you to set up your homepage with different websites. It kind of resembles the look Cooliris has.

Where is the feature that would allow you to set up your homepage with different websites.

Before you do anything, go to Help | Check For Updates and install v3.6.16. There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. This allows a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and your browser will not display a warning. The latest update in the 3.6.x series blacklists those certificates.
On the subject of the homepage you asked about, it's probably this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/homepage-randomizer/

Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious, common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?

Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious, common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?
I've seen this requested in several past Lightroom versions.
Is Adobe not addressing this basic feature for a reason?, I mean, even Aperture has this feature, it can't be that hard to add? Can it?
Maybe Adobe isn't reading the feature request?

Honestly, I am hardly qualified to even guess - there are tons of bugs reported that would be easy to fix, but aren't, features that would be useful and easy enough to implement, but aren't. Things like focus points which seem like a no brainer but are never implemented - your guess is as good as mine..
But to be clear: focus points are different for different cameras, and are stored in proprietary metadata. - not impossible to get at, obviously, but requires some programming/maintenance..
Worth noting: Apple is shutting down their Aperture business. Yeah, they support focus points and all kinds of good stuff, but I guess Aperture isn't a real money-maker for them (lotsa maintenance work, but not a lot of revenue) - relatively small market.
Adobe has been working on Revel, and Lightroom Mobile.., instead of focus points (and bug fixes, and...) - my guess: that's where the money is, or where they think it is.
Cheers,
Rob

I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work

I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.

Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files. Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file. Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
Just a for-your-info:
Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice.
I'm fixing a Numbers document that I use in business daily that's become overly complicated, but while I want to clear/delete a number of cells in it to clean it up, I'm not sure if those cells are being used as source for other formulas on the page. I don't have to open all my formulas one by one to see if that cell is in there, do I?! That'd be a huge amount of work if I wanted to eliminate say 10 cells to search each formula on the page to see if it is in there or watch all the cells when I delete that cell to see if the numbers change! There's got to be an easier way! Right click doesn't seem to be any help.
I don't want to damage my daily tool to make it cleaner and reorganize it. Is there really no way to do a reverse look-up of which formulas a particular cell is in?! Any time I click on a formula it highlights all the CELLS in that formula. Why can't I (or can I?) do the reverse and see all the FORMULAS that contain a particular cell?
As a Numbers document ages or gets used frequently, you can sometimes forget which cells are tied to which formulas. You just look for the results of your formulas. Would be a nice thing to be able to do. Thoughts? Work-arounds? Answers?

Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
=T20+1
but also in
=SUM(T)
=SUM(20:20)
=SUM(S19:U22)
=OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
=INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK
