Suggestion for a community package

I didn't find the way to sumit bug for community packages, so I put it here. Sorry if I came to the wrong place.
The package gtk-kde4 should add provides=gtk-qt-engine, so that it can replace gtk-qt-engine if you want (many packages depends on gtk-qt-engine).

The proper place to submit a bug in an AUR package is the AUR page for that package itself, in that case:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9631

Suggestions for substituting a package name that constantly changes

I work with an organization that constantly changes their package names. I am tired of going to each program and changing them on a whim. I wanted to know if there is a procedure for making package names replaceable. This would be mostly a preventive method used to avoid using "find and replace" in huge, enterprise projects.
For example, one day it is as follows:
package com.megacorp.myclass;
The next day I want it to be changed as follows:
package com.mymegacorp.myclass;
Maybe the approach I was looking for was something like a .properties file or context containing the package name and I would substitute it using a variable like the following:
package ${constantly.changing.megacorp.name}.myclass;
This example my not be clear. Feel free to swing away as I cry tears of BLooD. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated though. Thanks.

Refactoring is definitely what this kind of thing would be called. What you suggested isn't supported in Java, so you'd have to use some third party preprocessor-like tool (I've never looked into this sort of thing, I don't know what's out there) to replace your placeholders. It would have to become part of your build process, and could possibly introduce new bugs to your code if it didn't work properly every time. That sounds a lot more dangerous and dependent than using Eclipse's (or whatever IDE you fancy) refactor function, which is dead simple, and only has to be done once each time the package names change, so you can refactor, test, and forget about it.

Any suggestions for online community app that i can use with ITunesU?

I would like to have a message board for my Itunes U class...any suggestions?

Motion 2.0 was paired with FCP 5. Final Cut Studio 1 included both. When Apple switched to Intel processors, they released FCP 5.1 and Motion 2.1 as an Intel compatible "cross grade". FCS2 had FCP 6 and Motion 3. FCS3 is Motion 4 and FCP 7.

No way to view changes with PKGBUILD for community packages

I noticed that you can't view PKGBUILD changes for new community packages. I thought we move community to svn so it should be viewable.
Example:
http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/c … nity-i686/
Just my 2 cents.

Everything that is need for the transition is still a work in progress... This a known issues. As a workaround you can use ABS or check out the SVN for the packages you are interested in.

Is there a way for this community, to make a suggestion to Apple to include blocking a specific contact number calls and messages just as other phones provide that feature for their users.

Is there a way for this community, to make a suggestion to Apple to include blocking a specific contact number calls and messages just as other phones provide that feature for their users.

No phone provides true call blocking. At best, they provide call diversion. Essentially, the call is answered and disconnected automatically. If I recall, Apple is adding call diversion features in iOS 7.
Best of luck.

I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

A suggestion for handling optdepends.

[UPDATE]
I've rewritten this post to present the idea more clearly.
[/UPDATE]
I've submitted a feature request: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12708
If you like this idea, please express your support there too.
The Current Situation
The pacman database contains a file named "depends" in each package's directory which specifies the package's depends in the following format:
%DEPENDS%
foo
bar
this
that
Pacman reads this file and creates an internal representation of this list for the package which it uses during the sync operation to handle dependencies. Each package may also list optional dependencies which provide further functionality for the package without being required to use the package. Let's take gimp as an example:
pacman -Si gimp
Depends On : gtk2>=2.14.4 lcms>=1.17 libxpm>=3.5.7 libwmf>=0.2.8.4 libxmu>=1.0.4 librsvg>=2.22.3 libmng>=1.0.10 dbus-glib>=0.76 libexif>=0.6.16 pygtk>=2.13.0 desktop-file-utils gegl>=0.0.22 curl
Optional Deps : gutenprint: for sophisticated printing only as gimp has built-in cups print support
libwebkit: for the help browser
poppler-glib: for pdf support
hal: for Linux input event controller module
alsa-lib: for MIDI event controller module
If you want to install libwebkit to use gimp's help browser, you have 2 choices:
pacman -S libwebkit
pacman -S --asdeps libwebkit
With the first choice, libwebkit will clutter the list of explicitly installed packages ("pacman -Qet"). With the second choice, libwebkit will be considered an orphan and will be listed in "pacman -Qdt", which not only means it clutters that list but it also means that you can no longer purge orphans with "pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qqdt)".
In both cases, when you uninstall gimp, you must remember to uninstall libwebkit too, because pacman doesn't know that you installed it as a dependency for gimp.
This may not be a problem for one package, but it will once the number or optdepends you have installed increases.
My Suggestion
Create an optdepends database in /var/lib/pacman/optdepends/ that follows the same format as the current depends files:
%OPTDEPENDS%
foo
bar
this
that
Add a function to pacman to check if a package has an entry in the optdepends database.
During a sync operation, treat any optdepends specified in the optdepends database as if they had been specified in the depends file.
Add a "--getoptdeps" flag to pacman to enable interactive installation of optdepends for a given package that follows the same pattern as the current group installation dialogue.
Store the results of this dialogue in the optdepends database.
Let's take gimp as an example again. You know that gimp has an optdepend that you want, so you do this:
pacman -S --getoptdeps gimp
gimp package found, checking optdepends
:: gimp has the following optdepends:
gutenprint: for sophisticated printing only as gimp has built-in cups print support
libwebkit: for the help browser
poppler-glib: for pdf support
hal: for Linux input event controller module
alsa-lib: for MIDI event controller module
:: Install whole content? [y/N] n
:: Install gutenprint as optdepend for gimp? [y/N] n
:: Install libwebkit as optdepend for gimp? [y/N] y
:: Install poppler-glib as optdepend for gimp? [y/N] n
:: Install hal as optdepend for gimp? [y/N] n
:: Install alsa-lib as optdepend for gimp? [y/N] n
Retrieving libwebkit...
Libwebkit will now be handled exactly as if it were a true dependency of gimp. It is neither explicitly installed nor an orphan. It will get removed with gimp unless it's a depend or optdepend for another package.
/var/lib/pacman/optdepends/gimp/optdepends now looks like this:
%OPTDEPENDS%
libwebkit
The Benefits of This Method
Default pacman behavior remains unchanged.
Most of the code is already in place (depends file parser, package selection dialogue, dependency handling during sync operation)
The existing databases (local, sync) would not require any changes.
The only extra overhead would be checking if a package has an entry in the optdepends database.
Users can define their own optional dependencies by adding them to the optdepends database (manually or with provided tools)
This opens the doors for metapackages to replace groups.
About Metapackages
A metapackage is a package that contains nothing itself but organizes other packages. For an example of how these work on Arch, take a look at metapax.
Every package group could be converted to a metapackage if this suggestion were implemented. To understand the benefits of using metapackages instead of groups, we need to consider how groups currently work.
When you install gnome, this is what happens:
pacman -S gnome
gnome package not found, searching for group...
:: group gnome (including ignored packages):
epiphany gnome-applets gnome-backgrounds gnome-control-center gnome-desktop gnome-icon-theme gnome-media gnome-mime-data gnome-mount gnome-panel gnome-python gnome-screensaver gnome-session gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-themes gnome2-user-docs libgail-gnome metacity nautilus notification-daemon yelp
:: Install whole content? [Y/n] n
:: Install epiphany from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-applets from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-backgrounds from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-control-center from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-desktop from group gnome? [Y/n] y
Most users will install all of the packages, others won't. In either case, once the packages are on your system, pacman has no concept of the gnome "group". Each package is effectively independent of the gnome group. If a new package is added to the gnome group, for example "gnome-somenewpackage", pacman will not install it during your next update. It won't even ask you about it or tell you that there is a new package. There have been questions on this forum from users wondering why new gnome packages weren't installed automatically. This applies to all groups... kde, xorg, xfce, etc.
If we instead replaced groups with metapackages, each package in the group would become an optdepend of the metapackage. With my suggestion, this would lead to exactly the same dialogue as above. Each package in a metapackage would remain optional just as packages in groups currently are. The advantage would be that if "gnome-somenewpackage" is added to the gnome metapackage, it would be possible to inform the user during an update and prompt for installation.
Here's the discussion on flyspray about groups vs metapackages: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8242
Notes on Metapackages
The only complicated parts of handling metapackages are the following:
If a package is a metapackage, it should be detected during installation and automatically jump to the optdepends dialogue in order for it to behave exactly as groups do.
During a metapackage update, there should be a way to inform the user of new optdepends, but this might be as simple as including an upgrade message in the package install file.

No, this wouldn't affect a packages "true" dependencies in any way.
Packages now have 2 types of dependencies, "depends" and "optdepends". "depends" are installed with the package and are required for the package to run. "optdepends" just display message during installation to the effect of "optional dependencies for this package: foo - for foo support, bar - for bar support, baz - for web access and printing". "gimp" is an example of a package with optional dependencies.
As it is right now, optional dependencies are nothing more than installation messages. If you decide to install optional dependencies for a given package, they are completely independent of the target package. Let me give a concrete example:
pacman -Si gimp
Depends On : gtk2>=2.14.4 lcms>=1.17 libxpm>=3.5.7 libwmf>=0.2.8.4 libxmu>=1.0.4 librsvg>=2.22.3 libmng>=1.0.10 dbus-glib>=0.76 libexif>=0.6.16 pygtk>=2.13.0 desktop-file-utils gegl>=0.0.22 curl
Optional Deps : gutenprint: for sophisticated printing only as gimp has built-in cups print support
libwebkit: for the help browser
poppler-glib: for pdf support
hal: for Linux input event controller module
Ok, I want to install gimp and I want libwebkit to be able to use gimp's help browser. I have 2 options right now:
Option 1:
pacman -S gimp libwebkit
libwebkit is now installed as an explicit package.
Option 2:
pacman -S gimp
pacman -S --asdeps libwebkit
libwebkit is now installed as a dependency.
With option 1, libwebkit clutters my list of explicitly installed packages (pacman -Qet). With option 2, it is considered an orphan by pacman and would be removed with an orphan purge ("pacman -Rsn $(pacman -Qqdt)"). In both cases, if I remove gimp, libwebkit stays on my system even though I only want it for gimp. It will not be removed with "pacman -Rs gimp" because pacman has no idea that it has anything to do with gimp.
My suggestion therefore it to create a way for pacman to treat selected optdepends as depends. Given the gimp example, what this would mean for the user is that when the user runs "pacman -S gimp", it would present a dialogue as follows:
gimp has the following optional dependencies:
gutenprint: for sophisticated printing only as gimp has built-in cups print support
libwebkit: for the help browser
poppler-glib: for pdf support
hal: for Linux input event controller module
Would you like to install these optional dependencies? [y/N] y
Install all optional dependencies? [y/N] n
Install gutenprint? [y/N] n
Install libwebkit? [y/N] y
Install poppler-glib? [y/N] n
Install hal? [y/N] n
retrieving libwebkit...
libwebkit would now be treated as if it had been specified in gimp's depends array. When you uninstall gimp, it would be removed with gimp just as gimp's other dependencies.
There would also be tools to add optional dependencies to a package later (either with pacman or something else... I'll gladly contribute something to do this), so if you want to add gutenprint to gimp later, you could and then let pacman grab it as a dependency of gimp.
Again, this has nothing to do with "true" dependencies of packages. This is just a fix for the kludge now known as "optdepends".
First, let's look at what happens when you install the gnome
pacman -S gnome
gnome package not found, searching for group...
:: group gnome (including ignored packages):
epiphany gnome-applets gnome-backgrounds gnome-control-center gnome-desktop gnome-icon-theme gnome-media gnome-mime-data gnome-mount gnome-panel gnome-python gnome-screensaver gnome-session gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-themes gnome2-user-docs libgail-gnome metacity nautilus notification-daemon yelp
:: Install whole content? [Y/n] n
:: Install epiphany from group gnome? [Y/n] n
:: Install gnome-applets from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-backgrounds from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-control-center from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-desktop from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-icon-theme from group gnome? [Y/n] y
:: Install gnome-media from group gnome? [Y/n] n
:: Install gnome-mime-data from group gnome? [Y/n]
After the installation, each of those packages is treated as an independently installed package. The "group" gnome only exists when you select packages for the initial installation. There have been threads on this forum posted by users who didn't understand why "pacman -Syu" failed to retrieve packages that had been added to the gnome "group". That's because pacman simply updates the existing packages and doesn't know about groups once their on the system. If they add "gnome-some-new-package", you have to either run "pacman -S gnome" again and either re-install all the packages or run through the dialogue until you get to the new package, or you have to explicitly install any new packages directly. You need to find out when a new package has been included in gnome too, because there is no way for pacman to know this (I posted a script somewhere to check if you have all packages in a group, forgot where though).
The idea of a metapackage is that it is an empty package that simply specifies other packages as dependencies (i.e it contains no files, just package information). That's what metapax creates (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=53788). If a gnome metapackage is created with metapax, the user can install it and get all of the packages in gnome. If a new package is added to the gnome metapackage, this package will be retrieved on the next sync update. The user doesn't need to regularly check that he has everything in gnome because the metapackage handles all the packages in gnome.
The problem with this approach is that everything it specifies is a "depends", so you have to include everything. With "optdepends" though, you would get a similar dialogue to the one when installing a group (as my example above for gimp), but the installed metapackage would have all of the advantages of a package when syncing and uninstalling.
Users would also create their own metapackages. Lets say that you would like to create a custom DE from existing packages so that you can quickly install a simliar desktop on different systems. You could create a metapackage with your window manager, text editor, image viewer, video player, etc. You could then simply install that package on different machines and be presented with the choice of which components you'd like to install. You could distribute this over your network with a local user repository. If you later want to add another package to it, that package could be optionally included on the different machines during the next update.

A Very New and Cool Suggestion for a *PLAIN TASKBAR*

Hello,
I have a very different kind of suggestion for the TASK BAR.
I was listening to songs when a video song came, the video was playing in the background..
i didn't realize that , when i saw the task bar, i liked the way how the transparent task bar became all alive..
The video in the background of the task bar made it do that, I have a suggestion if u can add a visualizer/Equalizer(in plain terms) in the task bar that whenever we play music it comes alive. That would be something very awesome..
Just try to imagine a visualizer in task bar, Give it a chance. :)
Thanks.

A Suggestion for Skype to consider regarding the T...

Hello, I have a suggestion for Skype. When I look at my "Purchase History" in my Skype account it no longer shows the time my order was placed. Not having this information makes it difficult managing my subscription.
I would like to see Skype include the time a transaction was made in the "Purchase History" .
Thanks.

Elitist is not the right word... But your expected to do you part too.
I honestly think the "The Arch Way" wiki lays it out pretty damn well.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way
Read that, if it sounds good you will likely enjoy arch. If it sounds bad, yeah arch may be bad for you.
Truth is the wiki is fantastic, and dedicated people have spent an amazing amount of time putting it together... So for ALMOST EVERYTHING there is detailed step by step information that basically will fix your problem. You just need to read it, understand it and possibly even research on your own the parts you don't understand.
When people just come to the forum and ask to be told directly instead, yeah we may seem elitist expecting they know enough to figure it out on their own... But that is only because the community already wrote out a really really detailed explanation for them, but they just wanted someone else to do the work/troubleshooting for them. Its a bit weird to ask stranger to care more about your problems then you do
But, detailed and specific questions are met with wonderful and fantastic help. This is the most stable and functional distro/operating system I have ever run (in part because after "building" it its pretty easy to fix.)
This ISN'T a newbie distro in that its not for people who just want a working computer for minimal effort... That doesn't mean its hard mean or bad, but it does mean its targeted towards serious users who want to be able to build and fix their own system. A certain standard is expected (and I really like that), its not hard to meet it.... But if you don't want anything expected of you you may not want arch. Reading a paying attention can make it more or less an easy and fruitful experience for even novice users however.

Suggestion for Improving Number

Hello Oracle Java community,
I've recently encountered some difficulties using the abstract class java.lang.Number, and have a suggestion for improvement.
I'm writing a class that computes statistical information on a list of numbers - it would be nice to not couple this class to Integer, Double, BigDecimal, or any other wrapper by using generics. I saw that there is a nice superclass that all Number objects inherit from.
I came up with:
public class Statistics<T extends Number> {
private List<T> data;
// statistical data that i wish to find and store, such as median, mean, standard dev, etc
public synchronized void setData(List<T> data) {
this.data = data;
if (this.data != null && !this.data.isEmpty()) calculateStatistics();
private void calculateStatistics() {
// Welcome to instanceof and casting hell...
h4. It would be nice to have richer functionality from the Number class, say to do mathematical operations with them or compare them.
h4. After all, in the real world it is possible to do so.
h4. Real numbers are much like BigDecimal. Why not take the idea of BigDecimal, and make that the parent of Integer, BigInteger, Double, Short, Byte, Float (I'm probably forgetting a few)? All of those are limited forms of real numbers. It would make comparison between Number datatypes easy, would probably remove all of that duplicated arithmetic code between all of the children of Number, and also allow Numbers to be used in powerful generic ways. The parent/replacement of BigDecimal could even be named RealNumber, which stays true to its math domain.
As a side note, I'm solving this problem by taking an initial step to convert the List<whatever type of Number that the user enters> into a List<BigDecimal> by getting the toString() value of each element when cast as a Number.
private List<BigDecimal> convertData(List<T> data) {
ArrayList<BigDecimal> converted = new ArrayList<BigDecimal>();
for (T element : data) {
converted.add(new BigDecimal(((Number) element).toString()));
return converted;
Criticism is always welcome.
Thanks for your time and thoughts.
-James Genac

How compareTo() came into existence is from Comparable interface. As I understand, Comparable came into existence since Collections API has sorting functions - which needs to be run with a matching Comparable object that knows how to determine which element is larger than the other (not limited to objects representing numbers, you might sort a list of Persons). Hence, compareTo() is not solely meant for the comparison of numbers. Existence of the method in BigDecimal is just one case.
Subclasses can override the equals() method, but that cannot be implemented in a cleaner manner and leads to a very poor design. For example, you might want to compare an Integer and a Float. So the Integer class's equals() method need to have some if-else structure to determine the other type and then compare. Same holds true for the Float class's equals() method as well. Ultimately, Everything becomes a mess. All subclasses of RealNumber needs to know about all other subclasses of RealNumber. And you will not be able to introduce new subtypes and expect the equals() method to work correctly.
To avoid this, you need to depend on a single representation form for all types of numbers. If that's the case, you might just live with something like BigDecimal and not use Byte, Float, Integer,... (which we kind of do in some cases - for example to represent monetary amounts). So we can live without Byte, Float, Integer,...
Then we need some utility classes that would contain some number type specific functions to work with primitives. So we will also have Byte, Float, Integer... unrelated to BigDecimal.
Clearly, the wrapper types are there not because of the need to represent real world number types, but because of the need to represent computer domain number types. Hence, they have been organized not according to relationships found in real world number types. Many of us find this way of modelling sufficient and have an understanding about the limitations. But if you need to model the real world number relationships for some special reason, you might write some new classes. Then again there will be real world aspects that you will not be able to model easily. So you will model some aspects and neglect the other.

Directory structure suggestions, for keeping tidy classpath

Suggestions for setting up my directory (learning area, devel area etc.)
ok, so this classpath thing seems to have the potential to make a real mess�can anyone suggest how I might alter my directory to limit the numberof additions I have to make to my classpath variable?
presently I have a directory off of my root for the various books I use:
C:\jJavaJunkYard < txtbook
C:\jTextBookDL < txtbook
C:\jJavaCoreFundamentals < txtbook
C:\jTheJavaTutorial < txtbook
C:\jThinkingInJava < txtbook
C:\jJavaHowTo < txtbook
C:\jDevl << java development area
C:\jdk14 << java exe & doc
C:\jdkLanguageSpecDoc << java lang specifications
and of course under each txtbook, I have
ch1, ch2,ch3� etc.
how can I set up my directory so that my classpath does not get too messy?

that idea kinda scares me... i have probably thousands
of files...
but if no one else bothers to answer...
you'll get the dukes...
thank you for bothering to answerThousands of files? Are these separate classes which you have created? If so you should consider organizing these files by package. (I hope I am understanding your question as you meant it).
Use the package statement, eg.
package com.accuchekinc.pc5250;to tell the compile where to put the class.
Use the import statement, eg
import com.accuchekinc.pc5250;to retrieve the class by another class which uses it.
Then you only have to make sure that "com" is in one of the folders in the class path statement.
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous suggestion that you use the -classpath (or -cp) parameter of javac.exe and java.exe to establish unique sets of class paths per project.
Good luck. I've been watching your topic for ideas a well.

Suggestions for 808 PureView and Symbian Belle

Hi friends,
I am a proud owner of astounding (and worst marketed extra-ordinary device) 808 PureView. Biggest compliment to it is that it has replaced my SGS2. Yes, truly.
After using 808 for some time now I am quite happy but disappointed with certain things. Few things are so minor that I am surprised why Nokia removed it or didnt implement.
So here I am presenting a list of things which I would request Nokia to fix or implement. I will also request all of you here to add to the list so that Nokia gets a direct feedback and can improve the device and software. Thanks !
Camera:
1. Slow shutter speeds
2. Full resolution in various Scenes modes
3. Pics with AutoFlash mostly comes dark in edges in Indoors
4. Slightly faster Auto-Focus with soft shutter button
Gallery:
(I know about other thread but this is a consolidated list)
1. Batch functions (send, share)
2. Albums
3. Folders
4. Tabbed interface (All, Images, Videos)
5. Sort by Date, Name, Type, Size, Location, etc.
6. Send via NFC option (everybody does not read Manual )
7. Ability to trim parts of video (and to join parts, if possible)
Contacts:
1. Labels please !!!
2. Thumbnail view (atleast in Groups)(could be first-ever. Android has partial implementation)
3. Contacts with latest Social updates(tweets or Facebook activities) to come second-top after Favourites (convenient and another first)(switch on-off from Settings)
4. Additional Tab in Contact's view showing all communication with him/her (Calls, E-mails and Messages)
5. Another optional Tab showing his/her last 5 Social updates
Messaging:
1. Tabbed interface (Conversations/Folders/(optionally) E-Mails)
2. Forward icon alongside Reply icon
3. Individual Contact's SMS\Email tone (such a little but practical feature)
Telephony:
1. Detailed Call log (Settings>Extended View)
2. Video Call button
E-Mail:
1. E-Mail Popups (probably with Reply option)
2. Cleaner tabbed interface
3. Pinch-to-Zoom and Wrap function
4. Archive option in GMail mails
5. Go to next email after deleting and not the Inbox (its really annoying)
Videos:
1. Large Thumbnail option
2. Better support for Matroska (mkv)
3. Better subtitle support (black fonts???)
4. Options for Brightness and Contrast
Music Player:
1. Folders Tab
2. Editable equaliser
I again request to provide suggestions and I will add them in OP (with your name). Lets help Nokia make great OS and Product even better. And in my experience, they have always seriously listened to their customers and brought the improvements.
Good Luck !

Nokia thank you for last updates..the 808 is quite perfect now!!
Let's update some last suggestion for Nokia
Camera:
1. Slow shutter speeds / FULL Shutter priority mode (with flash and auto/manual ISO....i'm not able to use flash with high ISO and slow shutter speeds)
2. Full resolution or 12MP / 8MP resolution in various Scenes modes
3. Pics with AutoFlash mostly comes dark in edges in Indoors
4. Slightly faster Auto-Focus with soft shutter button
5. Flash EV Compensation
7. (Hardware) Image Stabilization with low light
8. better White Balance..more options..
9. square (1:1) and 3:2 modes
10. higher FPS available with low res videos
11. Camera noise fix, lots of digital noise on the right side of the screen (purple cast) when taking pics in darker conditions without flash, something is interfering..
12. nedd much better performance for the CAF in video mode, it doesn't work on FP2
13. Lumia photo tools / add-ons: Cinemagraph lens, Smart Shoot lens, Panorama lens, Bing vision..
Gallery:
1. Albums / Folders
2. Tabbed interface (All, Images, Videos)
3. Sort by Date, Name, Type, Size, Location, etc.
4. Send via NFC option (everybody does not read Manual )
5. Ability to trim parts of video (and to join parts, if possible...improve VideoPRO please..audio editing!)
6. Improve PHOTO Editing too, more controls (light/shadows, sharpness, fixed ratio for photo crop like 3:2 and 1:1, blur control..)
Contacts:
1. Labels please !!!
2. Thumbnail view (atleast in Groups)(could be first-ever. Android has partial implementation)
3. Contacts with latest Social updates(tweets or Facebook activities) to come second-top after Favourites (convenient and another first)(switch on-off from Settings)
4. Additional Tab in Contact's view showing all communication with him/her (Calls, E-mails and Messages)
5. Another optional Tab showing his/her last 5 Social updates
Messaging:
1. Tabbed interface (Conversations/Folders/(optionally) E-Mails)
2. Forward icon alongside Reply icon
3. Individual Contact's SMS\Email tone (such a little but practical feature)
4. More smart use of Words Suggestions in T9 Mode..priority for shorter words!
(in Italian...i want to write "ON" and i touch ONLY the 6 button two times, but sometimes it suggests "NO" and/or longer words like "ONLY","NOBODY","NOTHING"...but not "ON"!! (In Italian language, i don't know if it does the same in English!)
5. In conversation or with Whatsapp, in horizontal mode with QUERTY and Words Suggestions enabled, it's impossible to read the last messages during writing.
6. much smaller text option
7. in conversation view, the letter icon and the notification of a new message doesn't disapppear if you've only read the sms, without giving a reply! I suggest that a tap on the yellow letter icon on the right in conversation mode will change the sms status from unread to read
Telephony:
1. Detailed Call log (Settings>Extended View)
2. Video Call button
4. more notifications on notification bar
5. improve social network apps and connections between gallery / notification bar and them
E-Mail:
1. E-Mail Popups (probably with Reply option)
2. Cleaner tabbed interface
3. Pinch-to-Zoom and Wrap function
4. Archive option in GMail mails
5. Go to next email after deleting and not the Inbox (its really annoying)
6. Email notification like with missed calls or sms on the lockscreen.
Videos:
1. Large Thumbnail option
2. Better support for Matroska (mkv)
3. Better subtitle support (black fonts???)
4. Options for Brightness and Contrast
Music Player:
1. Folders Tab
2. Editable equaliser
LET'S GO!!

IWEB SUGGESTIONS FOR APPLE

First, if Apple actually takes the time to read these Discussions, let me say, "Thanks!" I love Apple.
Second, I don't claim to be an expert, nor do I consider myself a uber-geek with incredible technical prowess.
I've just been playing around with iWeb, and have some suggestions for future updates, another 'Wish List' if you will;
1. The improvements to iPhoto are numerous and impressive, but iPhoto could use just a more photo tweaking in the realm of jpeg sizing. This would help integrate it with many iLife apps, especially iWeb.
2. GarageBand, likewise, also keeps getting better and better, but it too could use a little boost in the way it deals with file size and the overall affect on one's system. Just having the old 'go to GarageBand Help' popup gets a little frustrating. Optimizing should be more directly accessible in the user interface.
3. Creating easy access to, and integration of third party 'add ons' would be a really great way to deal with the current iWeb blogging limitations. Just as with many other blog systems, users could choose which various plug in enhancements they want on their iWeb blog.
If Apple made blog plug-ins easy to do, everybody would win. As with FireFox, for example, a community of iWeb enthusiasts could help develop and build iWeb into a super powerful app, via such user chosen add ons. Perhaps iWeb could be 'opened' up just a bit more, to let some more community light shine in?
That's just my two cents.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or just plain crazy, or post your own suggestions.
Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) iBook, Airport, Original iPod, Bondi Blue, what about you?

Make sure you send your iWeb comments directed at Apple to them via the iWeb > Provide iWeb Feedback menu item. Ideas for Garage Band and iPhoto are better posted in the forums and feedback channels devoted to those programs than here.
