Stuff we'd like to see in future upda

I decided to make this post so people can put down what things they want to see in future updates. For starters, a sleep function for mediasource and also the option to change the speed of the FF function of the remote.
Hopefully someone from creative checks this out and perhaps will take our opinions into account.

What would you most like to see in a future version?

I'm pretty sure the DSC development team looks at these posts so what would you most like to see in the future? For me, I'd like to be able to dynamically add tags without shutting down the engine.
Regards,
Robert

In "context help". No more "no description available". At least give me the data type.

I would like apps on my Apple TV and I would like football on my Apple TV I would like to see more apps and more stuff on Apple TV but other then that I am happy with it

I would like to see football on Apple TV

Hi scott2134
Apple techs/developers don't monitor these fora officially, we are just fellow users here.
You are not alone in wanting various apps for AppleTV - I have mixed feelings and suspect there are some difficulties getting rights/apps for all countries which may be aprt of the issue.
You may know you can 'Airplay' some internet media from iPhones/iPads/current Macs, but even then some iPhone apps block sending the video to AppleTV due to licensing restrictions

Features I would very much like to see in Flash CS5

Just a preface: I'm coming at this from the perspective of a professional Flash character animator. I've worked on two TV shows and one big-budget online virtual world/game and I've been using Flash professionally since MX 2004. I've also written a lot of JSFL commands and done a little actionscript programming (I used to be a software engineer, so the programming comes pretty maturally to me).
So with that said, here are some of the things that I'd really like to see in the next version of Flash, approximately in order from more to les important:
3. Stability and user friendliness. Please, guys, spend a little more time on polish and leave off the one or two extra cool features that you were thinking about throwing in.
13. Color management. I can't emphasize this one enough. COLOR MANAGEMENT! Take a look at Toon Boom Studio for what I'm talking about. Particularly in large projects, the ability to have a real color palette, rather than just having each shape have an RGBA value, would be incredibly useful. That way if I decide I don't like the color of a character's shirt I could just change the shirt color palette entry and it would automatically update every shape in the file that used that palette entry. An extra bonus, though less important, would be to be able to control it from Actionscript -- to be able to change a palette entry dynamically at run-time.
5. non-affine transforms for symbols. Particularly, we want trapezoidal/perspective skew! I've heard SO many people talk about wanting this. I was hoping that the 3D stuff in CS4 would allow it, but no such luck. While it's theoretically possible the controls just aren't set up to allow it.
1. Make EVERYTHING in the Flash authoring environment scriptable. Currently there are a number of things that can be neither scripted nor given a keyboard shortcut, (for instance the onionskinning controls).
2. Make Flash remember its maximized status from the previous session (this is a problem in many Adobe products).
4. Real hardware 3d acceleration.
6. Refine the JSFL API to be more thorough and consistent (see also #1). Make it so that everything you can do in JSFL happens in a way that makes sense. For instance, a couple problems I had recently: delete a shape from the stage and then draw a new one with Path.makeShape() and the new shape is created as if the old one were still there (with extra vertices at edge intersections); and Path.makeShape() won't create cubic paths -- it automatically converts cubic contours to quadrilateral ones.
7. Speaking of types of paths: Make the distinction between quadrilateral and cubic paths clearer to the user. Most people I talk to don't have any idea what the difference is, or that cubic paths are likely to produce more vertices than they expect in the final SWF. In fact, I think you should consider ditching the distinction entirely, at least from the user's perspective. Make every path in the authoring environment cubic, and just convert them to quadrilateral (if you must) on export. This'll relieve a lot of annoyance from users unexpectedly finding that their shape they just created very frugally suddenly has three times as many vertices.
8. Make bones work better on raw shapes. In fact, make them work more like Maya: each bone should affect each vertex to a degree decidable by the user. Currently bones affect each vertex either 0% or 100%, which means that, for instance, it's nearly impossible to get a smoothly curving snake.
9. Add at least one new fill style: we have radial blending, but the major one we're missing is the OTHER kind of radial -- with rays shooting our from a center. Perhaps less realistically, I can't tell you how much it would rock to be able to use a path-based color blend -- where the blend actually follows an arbitrary path (like what you can do in Synfig -- www.synfig.org).
10. Add precision to the stage. Currently it's very hard to position things when zoomed in close, and display artifacts are show up on curves, where they get flattened out for no apparent reason. I think the display artifacts are new to CS4, so perhaps it's just a bug that needs to be worked out in the new display engine? But the current situation is a real pain -- where any symbol that's created relatively small will unavoidably contain rendering and positioning issues.
11. A feature that's been missing (and sorely missed by TV animators) since Flash 8 is the ability to smoothly copy and paste from Flash to Illustrator. There's absolutely no reason this shouldn't be an easy task, and I'm still confused as to why it disappeared from MX 2004 to Flash 8. It's extremely useful for applying art brushes to paths or animating 3D door swings in Illustrator and then bringing the art back into Flash.
12. For that matter, what about art brushes in Flash? I realize they would be heavy in the SWF -- either in rendering time or in space used -- but you've already got stipled brushtrokes, and aren't those just as heavy? Art brushes would be INCREDIBLY useful to animators and designers.
14. Engage with the people who use Flash. Get some dialogue going on between users and developers. Most Flash users I meet (admittedly mostly character animators and character rig builders/designers) have very specific wishes for Flash, and for the most part they coincide very nicely. Yet release after release we don't see any of the changes, features, or bugfixes, that seem the most obvious.

Hi there,
I can assure you that the wishlist is monitored by our team. It does not go into a black hole or shredder - the messages are read by the Flash team, and forwarded as needed, and non-duplicate/legitimate bugs are filed.
Some of the things on your list are known. I'll go through the items, and encourage you to send some messages along these lines (I'd recommend one submission per item, but this is up to you).
* Stability and performance: This is definitely still being worked on. You'll see a lot of that work in the Flash 10.0.2 update, and I can assure you it's still a priority.
* Color management improvements: We do have bugs in this area filed, I believe very similar or the same as you have below, but please feel free to your ideas in this area if you'd like to ensure they're covered.
* Transforms for symbols (3D), and hardware acceleration: Should submit this to the Flash Player wishform (which is external, enabling votes) - if they support it, that support can be transferred to the authoring tool. http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* Keyboard shortcuts and JSAPI: Please submit any specific requests (exact areas that are missing). For the keyboard shortcuts for UI where they cannot yet be assigned, this would be a separate request (I'm not sure about the feasibility of buttons as opposed to menu items).
* Cubic vs quadratic paths: This is known and is a difference between the authoring tools/UI and Flash Player, and it's the reason for "10" (more precision to the stage). It's not really about artifacts or precision, but about how Flash Player renders curves in general. If you draw in an AS2 document, you won't see the change from curves to flat edges. If you export that document to the Player in AS2, you'll see the "artifacts" you see on the stage in AS3 documents. This is a known issue of the authoring UI and drawing tools, and making this better is really really high priority in my books too.
* Bones: Many issues are known and presently being worked on.
* Fill style: Please feel free to file this enhancement request, I'm not sure if it has been requested.
* Cross-product copy/paste (Illustrator): This is known, but if you have some specific issues or workflows you've encountered and want to make sure its rectified, please send that along.
* Brushes: Definitely requested/known. I'd love to see that too, in particular.
* Engaging with users: Definitely covered too! That's why we have betas (which do include prominent animators), why I hang out here, and so on. We do have designers (I went to art school) and animators on the team too. I know how it feels though - many of the features I'd most like to see can't be added yet, as Flash covers such a broad user base from coders to animators (many releases have left the coders feeling the same way). All I can say is please submit your feedback to the wishlist, and continue to voice up about what you'd most like to see in Flash with the specifics.
Great feedback!
Thanks.

Wide angle correction plug-ins I'd like to see in FCP

It with some frustration I learn how Adobe Premiere's CS3 is beginning to overtake FCP in terms of useful plug-ins. One very useful plug-in in Premiere is "unpop" (not sure if that's it's actual name) that corrects the barrel distortion on wide angle adapters to give your footage a more Hollywood wide angel look, straightening out those curved verticals towards the edges of the frame. That's a plug-in I'd like to see FCP adopt in the next upgrade. Whilst they're at it, why not add PhotoShop's lens correction filter that can remove/lessen chromatic aberration? Anyone using wide angle lens would find these effects filters indispensable.
Unless of course anyone knows of a (cheap!) set of effects plug-ins that can already do these things?
Here's hoping.

It with some frustration I learn how Adobe Premiere's CS3 is beginning to overtake FCP
in terms of useful plug-ins.
Such stuff is all relative. Apple is not going to to provide a filter for everything and your need for barrel distortion correction is not anywhere on my list of things to add or to fix in FCP.
There are literally hundreds of plugs available for FCP. All you have to do is invest time to find them, time to test them, and money to buy them.
But there will always be interesting things available for After Effects that won't work in Motion; cool filters for FCP that aren't available for Premiere, stuff you can do in Photoshop that would be silly to have available inside Aperture.

5530XM: What we like to see in new firmware!

Hi guys,
I would like to present nokia what we users of nokia 5530xm would like to see in a future firmware.
I know that nokia might not want to implement those ideas in a new firmware but doing that would make customers very happy, since they are having support for their phones.
These are the ideas (which can be done in 5800 or n97 aswell):
1 - Phone should have kinetic scrolling anywhere in the phone. Is awful to have to use the right scroll bar in menus, in special, applications menu. Even with "list" mode, kinetic wont work.
2 - Since it is a express music phone, at least this idea should be inserted. When you press the volume buttons it should work even with the keypad locked. And when you press and hold it changes to the next music. Sometimes when i am with my phone in pocket i cannot change the music without having to remove it from my pocket.
3 - I think the contact bar on homescreen should be improved. At least in my phone its hard to use. You try to scroll and it ends entering in the contact.
4 - Possibility to change the "Email" widget for another or even add more. I would like to have a twitter widget there for example. Having support to add new ones would be great.
5 - Better support for WPA password input. Sometimes networks have long WPA passwords and when you turn the phone to write it, it wont show the qwerty keyboard. Writing long passwords with 1,2,3,4... keys take a looooong time. This is VERY annoying.
6 - Support for Landscape pode on homescreen! I would always use it.
6a- Possibility to use menus in landscape mode with the motion sensor deactivated. I put my phone in landscape mode and deactivated the sensor. It changes the screen back to portrait mode. Since I always want to use it into landscape, the phone becomes slow because it have to change the mode everytime.
6b- Add the mini-icons mode. Sometimes when i close a game, the menu appears with a very small icons and text on right side. Would be nice to use those.
7 - Possibility to use the small qwerty on portrait mode, like 5800. Opera mini has a mini qwerty on portrait mode and seems to be very fine to use. Why not on a way to send messages in portrait mode then?
8 - When acessing "Log" menu, when pressing on it or "Options" button, possibility to access other phone numbers from the same contact.
9 - If its not a hardware issue, possibility to use TV-out on it.
10- Possibility to unistall preloaded applications/games.
11- 360 degree rotation
12- Predictive text on full-screen-keyboard input (maybe "select word" & "next word" keys).
Thats a little for now. If you would like a new improvement write it down.
and Nokia, PLEASE! make an effort to do these! Try to make your mobiles perfert!
Thanks!

What firmware version are you on? I'm in the USA and still stuck on version 11. Other regions have had version 20 since December 2009.

Can this be done somehow? I would like to see an App or Apple guidance were I can identify my name or number to certain phone contacts that I can choose from within my address book?

Can this be done somehow? I would like to see an App or Apple guidance where I can identify my name or telephone number to certain phone contacts that I can choose from with my address book. As it stands now, it all or nothing. Thanks

Not sure what they offer in Canada, but I use Google Voice. It provides a phone number that will ring through to your phone (or multiple phones if you want). There is a free app you can use to place calls so they appear from your Google Voice # instead of your 'real' number.
I use the Google # for business calls/texts and only use "my" number for personal stuff. Google gives you control over things like call screening and allows you te set timers for when it is permitted to ring through to your normal number, which is great for business calls. If I'm not on call, I keep the timer set to shut it down except during business hours.
Might be worth looking into.

What would you like to see added to GB4?

The title pretty much says it.
I would like to see the AUNetSend and AUNetRecieve be able to work together internally in GB to create some kind of vocoder. I would also like to be able to mix down a file while it's still editable/useable so I can tweak as I need to (for example, move the parameters on some of the effects).
That's good for now...what do you think?
(and I know that this post is a little early, but programming takes time and I want them to get a head start)

I agree that this is almost futile. Apple is gearing GB towards podcasts instead of music recording. THAT is NOT GarageBand. That is for a DJ wannabe. GarageBand was originally about making music, not being a DJ. I am happy to have GB2 as a tool, and even happier I moved to Logic Express. However, the newest upgrade to LE was most of the same upgrades GB got. If Apple continues in this direction, many serious musicians are going to abandon both apps for something made for recording period.
I have nothing against podcasting at all. In fact it is pretty cool. I have a couple that I know of that feature my stuff regularly. But I think GarageBand and Logic should remain what they are supposed to be, recording apps for musicians. Apple could have easily done a separate app for the podcasters, while allowing us to have some of the upgrades we all asked for. Considering how that list was totally ignored and was from those who frequent the forums that Apple set up for us, I find it hard to believe that they are even listening to anything we have to say.

I would like to 'see and hear' my mac book pro output on my TV how do I ?

I have a new Mac book Pro and I would like to 'see and hear' the Audio and video on my television. My tv has 2 audio phono RCA jacks on the side and 1 video RCA jack on the side. It also has a s-video as well on the side (I have never used s-video.) My Mac Book Pro came with a DVI to VGA little cable adapter but how do I use this to get to my TV inputs? Do I have to buy from Apple, (or somewhere else), that cable called DVI to Video Adapter? but then that is only for the video? How do I get the audio out? From the headphone socket? And if this is the only way why hasn't Apple made their DVI out socket a dual purpose output ie: Video AND audio, like the mini DVI for the G4 powerbooks? Please help. If anyone has also come across this problem. I want to see my timeline in FCP on the TV before I put it to tape. Thanks.
Thanx

You need a DVI or VGA to svideo adapter. They aren't cheap.

Yup.

Because DVI carries only video. Apple is using a new video card in the MBP with different abilities.

Most people doing this are using TV's with DVI/HDMI inputs.

My top 5 items i'd like to see in the next FCX update...

hopefully someone from Apple development reads this!
Allow custom frame sizes for projects. a MUST! not everyone is creating movies in a standard video format - videos are needed for e-commerce, display panels, and web banners that wont fall into a standard video formats. (this is easy to do with FC7 and all other pro editing software out there)
Paste attributes, like in FC7 - be able to select which attributes to paste (motion, filters, etc, or all)
Batch processing of projects and compound clips - must be a way to select multiple projects or clips and batch export or at least send them all to compressor as a batch. There is no way for our company to use the software if we are forced to select each clip separately -
Export using multiprocessors - this feature was removed with FCX 10.0.4 update - please bring it back!!! (why would we want to lose good features like this?)
I'd like to see simple color tags brought to FC PRO X. it is a very easy way to visually see which projects/sequences/events are complete, or need to be exported, or need to be re-shot, etc. It's a standard for apple applications, not sure why it is missing here. Favorites don't replace a simple color tag - (unless you can see some kind of indication that the item is a favorite, without clicking on it and opening it up - that defeats the purpose, for me at least.)
and one last request (for good luck...) keyframing is very cumbersome in the new FCX. There needs to be a much easier way to add keyframes than clicking on that tiny diamond box, or clicking on the transform - for EACH spot you want to keyframe... also you can no longer hold the shift key to keep the motion on a single axis. there needs to be a simple way to move the video left or right (or up and down) without effecting the other axis.
I'm sure there are much bigger requests out there, but since my day to day use of Final cut is pretty basic - (we rarely use audio or advanced features) it seems logical (to me) to get these basic functions back. Unfortunately, we cant purchase upgrades and start using this software until at least the first three requests are met. Until then we will continue to edit on FC7 - and when we are forced to upgrade our software, we hope the needed functions are available or we'll be forced to switch to Premiere, that already functions similarly to FC7.

Apple engineering reads feedback not the forums.
All good feature requests.
You don't need to add keyframes by clicking on the keyframe button at every point. You set the first keyframe value. Go to a different point in time and change the value and a keyframe will automatically be added.

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

Would like to see 5-days in Month View

I'd like to see 5-days (without Sat/Sun) in Month View, but iCal keeps showing me seven. These are the only two options and for some reason the program won't accept my choice of 5-days in Preferences. A few of my colleagues took a stab at it without any luck . . . One of them thought it might have something to do with my being subscribed to other people's calendars---is that so? Can anyone help?

I don't know of any way to have an app do this. The best route may be to use a web site with the video and point all the iPads to that web page rather than trying to synchronize apps on multiple iPads.
Perhaps someone else here will be able to think of another way to accomplish this.
Regards.

IDEA!!! Great to see Apple and the Drummer for Logic! What I would like to see???

Now what I would love to see and have talked to many that feel the same way, some of my friends work with Aaron Carter, writers, to Kelly Clarkson, Foo Fighters to composers and many want a JOHN WILLIAMS ASSISTANT, maybe thats what it should be called? Assistant or Arranger? Basically, I have seen many take Band in A Box (NO LAUGHING YET), play a riff on the piano, then it puts together some great ok, fair arragements that you never would of thought to do. They then open Omnisphere, BFD (or some drum thing), Trilogy (for bass), and a SOFTWARE ORCHESTRA and they have insta song. Apple would do the best job and really wished they snagged giga studio? I have great ears, can tell CHINA vs AMERICAN 6L6 coke bottles apart, even easier vs EL34, or broken .10 cent capacitor. Which would cost you that glassy~shimmer sound, like fender has, so this should had been swooped up by Apple as it was the WARMEST SOUNDING SAMPLER EVER INVENTED - probably one of a few that have a working MAC copy - -but they were to slow - by the time they had it, everyone ahd their own, OR they had (TASCAM) problems with security so when you get Kontakt, yeah, it might have great security but your paying for via the ROUND, WARM sound only possible by GIGA and Apple!
Now, I don't want someone with ZERO TALENT to come in, push a button and poof, a song, they tried with MAGIC GARAGE BAND but never really developed it so all they songs sound the same.
I would like to see a bass, orchestral, guitar, (although nothing beats playing) and especially an arranger where you lay down some notes and boom, a song is arranged for you. Apple could do it. Most that have Pro Tools also have LOGIC and most new hardware has THUNDERBOLT, so, if they put their minds to it, they would grab the pro's, prosumers in an instant and anyone on a PC would switch to mac just for the arranging as J. Wiiliams will play a few notes sometimes, and have an arranger write it out take off for a week or so and come back with a few versions.
Apple could do that, have a button to push, save but try again>Man, just having a program that throws maybe plugins and so on into the channel and change with the push of a button would be geniuos. Not to mention, start researching John Lennon, 65, 70, 75, 80 vocal chain, press a button, you have his affects/doubling, et-cetera. Plus Paul, Kurt K., Kelly Clarkson, everything from ROCK to metal to country and teen pop would be dope.
Then have LOGIC self regulate via the spectrum analizer and change thinks around until it was full as a great song with the guitar SOLO'd, should sound like poop, but when the rest of the mix is on, magic!
PEACE.

HI,
I'm not quite sure who you think you are addressing here with your idea but this is a user to user forum. Apple don't come here.

How to get rid of: Would You Like To See Your Photos on a Map?

Every single time I edit a photo in Aperture I get this annoying question: "Would you like to see your photos on a map?" Enable GPS tracking - yes or no. How can I get this pop-up screen permanently off of Aperture? Sometimes this causes Aperture to freeze and I have to force quit my computer.

Graig Kivell wrote:
I understand that I can do it manually but am not understanding how I should have answered the startup question.
Just open iPhoto, open the iPhoto preference, then go to the advanced tab. At the bottom of the window is a pull down for "Look Up Place". The start up questions just asked how you want this setting set. You can now use the pull down to change it to "Automatic" instead of Never.
Another place to check in preference is the tab for "Web". There is a check box for "Include location information for published photos". This tells iPhoto if you want the location information included when you upload photos to Flickr or other places that can read and display map info.

I'd like to see a wiki appendage for the iphone

This is an idle thought, but I was looking at the fabulous wiki for the works of Thomas Pynchon the other day -- http://pynchonwiki.com/ -- and thinking that it would be great to have a utility that lets your phone scan a line or two of the book and then connect to online annotations of that passage. This would allow you to retain the pleasures of reading a fixed-type paper book, but have all the flexibility of the online annotating community.
Something like a "see through" lens, where you can slide your phone (or tablet, whatever) over a portion of the page and "see through" the phone (via a camera lens or scanning surface) to the text underneath until you pass over the passage you are interested in (which you would capture and then send to the wiki for comment). I've tried OCR for the iphone with very poor results, so this kind of "anchoring" system for linking real paper text to wiki entries (etc.) would not be easy to build. But I could do a lot with it as a teacher, and as a reader.

Tell someone who make iphone apps.

Stuff we'd like to see in future upda
