Suggestion for a new feature

There are some members of this community (Templeton Peck, for example) who spend a considerable amount of time scouring the forum for off-topic posts and offering guidance as to more appropriate venues to post questions and find information, usually including links to third-party forums and other useful information. While I really appreciate the service these people provide, others often misconstrue their intentions. Sometimes the only thanks they get are accusations of List Mommery.
I'd like to suggest that Apple add a feature to the forum software to provide the same kind of service in a more systematic way. Since posts are already parsed to identify "bad words" and replace them with "xxxx," this could also be used to identify posts about third-party products, and when a post appears to pertain to one of those products, the response page could contain a notice that says something like the following:
We noticed that your post appears to reference [name of third-party product]. If you are indeed experiencing problems with this product, you might find the following of interest: [links to forums and other information resources provided by the vendor and/or independent discussions on Yahoo, etc.]
The list of links and resources could be provided by users like us through a Third Party Products topic in the forums so users can, hopefully, find them before they post questions here that would be more appropriately addressed by those other forums or knowledge bases. This topic would be for posting resources only, not discussing problems, so it would have to be heavily moderated.
Thoughts?

Hi David
This ... (proposed)... topic would be for posting resources only ...
This is already available through the search facilities of any browser. I have answered the odd query by doing just that.
Apple Discussions does not have to be a one-stop shop.
And would people use it as you plan, given the number of hardware and software queries that are posted here, ( but then, as there are an unusually high number of 'off forum' postings posted here I think most of them are intentionally mischievous.)

ArchWiki: suggestion for a new page layout

Finally, I have some time to spare for ArchWiki improvement.
I have modified my article on CMYK support in The GIMP as an example.
Please take a look at it here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMY … n_The_GIMP
The code to produce the box on the right is here:
{{sn|'''Article summary:'''
This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images.
It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.
'''Required software:'''
*[http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP The GIMP]
*[http://www.littlecms.com/ lcms]
*[http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/iccprofiles/win/AdobeICCProfiles_end-user.zip Adobe ICC profiles]
*[http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml Separate plugin source]
'''Related article:'''
*[[Using lprof to profile monitors]]
This is the best we can do with current ArchWiki setup. It would be even better if we could list categories in the box, as well as i18n links.

I've been tinkering with the templates. It's fixed now, I think.
Anyway, the templates used for the job can be seen from the code:
{{Article summary start}}
{{Article summary text|This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images. It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.}}

{{i18n_entry|Français|CMYK support in The GIMP(Français)}}
{{i18n_entry|Nederlands|CMYK support in The GIMP(Nederlands)}}

{{Article summary heading|Related articles}}
{{Article summary wiki|Using lprof to profile monitors}}
{{Article summary end}}
As you can see, it's a bit more typing than before, but it sure looks better. I might shorten the names for the templates. I wanted to make them memorable so they are a bit long.
As you can see, the problem of i18n links integration was fixed, so you can use existing i18n template and combine with the new "Article summary" set.
I will modify the article about writing summaries to include those templates and examples.
EDIT: :oops: the i18n links in the article are just examples. Don't use them, since they lead to non-existing pages.
EDIT2: Okay, I've played around with the appearance of the summary box, but I'm at work now, so it's going nowhere. I'll play with it some more when I get home.

Where can I send an idea for a new feature.

I have an idea for a new feature in Illustrator. I'd like to share it to the developers.
Is there a channel to send your idea?
Thank you!

Thanks for the replies.
I know that this feature does not serve everybody, but I could use it on a weekly basis.
I don't know if there is a script for this, and if there is, plese let me know it.
Transparent working window.
So I could set my whole artboard window transparent and still work on it.
I could easily and fast trace some shapes from locked PDF's and also directly from the browser without copying the image to my computer.
The problem is, of course, that Zoom would only work in the graphics in the Illustrator (needless to say) and would not affect to the graphics behind the Illustrator window.
But still I think I could use it very much.
For examble I could manually draw simple shapes and logos straight from the customers website, without downloading the poor JPG image.
Please let me know what you think about it.
Sorry if there is some mistakes, English is not my native.
I hope you got the point.

Got an idea for a new feature or feature improvement?

Our FAQ contains a list of in progress and unfinished features, so please check that out.
We're interested in hearing from you on how we can improve Parfait by improving or adding a new feature. Please provide as much detail as possible, and make sure to tell us why it is important to you. If your idea is for a new feature, it would be helpful to understand how you get it done now, and how the new feature would make your life better.
Thanks!

Helo Kieran,
• Integration with Creative Cloud or LayerVault (LV would be nice for versioning etc.)
BB> We're working on integrating with Creative Cloud. You'll get versioning, commenting, sharing (file or folder level), and sync. We expect to be able to roll this out later this year.
• Importing guides from the .PSD as well as having the rulers on the sides
BB> Good idea, and we're considering this. For now, some people are creating guides on a layer in Ps, then toggling that layer's visibility in Parfait.
• When doing a Shift + Click on two elements, depending on the circumstance, spit out the margin or padding values into the CSS panel
BB> This is also something we've considered. We think this should be done in combination with adding support for guides or another temporary measurement aid, so you can position the container around an item to make sure you get the info you want. Still working out design and details on this one, and no ETA.
• Having something like a marquee tool to measure between two points (I know this can be done using the Shift+Click but some elements aren't accurate eg. images inside clipping masks)
BB> Yes, we're considering this, as I mentioned in the point above.
• The tags that are created when you select a font in the right-hand-side panel are black with a white "T", it's quite hard to see (not really a feature but I thought it was worth mentioning )
BB> Thanks for the feedback, and we'll take another look at them to see if we can improve.
And thanks for offering to help with testing - we are improving Parfait and pushing out new builds frequently, so please check back often and let us know what you think.

Need suggestions for a new printer with OS 10.9.5

I have a 2010 HP 6500 A Plus printer that has worked well with my iMac circa 2010. Printer is not feeding paper. It won't scan. Are there suggestions for a new compatible printer for OS 10.9.5.?

Hey Debbisita,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with your Printer and OS X. Before opting to purchase a new printer, you can try these troubleshooting steps to completely isolate the issue:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Interested in other people's suggestions for a good feature

Hi, I'm Kerstin and I'm 2 years old. I li've in Cebu, Philippines, but I'm Swedish (originally from the wonderful city of Uppsala). I'm in the second term of my filmmaking degree at the International Academy of Film and Television[url="http://www.filmschool.ph">(IAFT)[/url]. Busy researching for my screen writing class. I'm interested in other peoples suggestions for a good feature. Always good to get together with like-minded folk.

Hi Kerstin,

SAP BWoH 7.4 GUI (For Bex New Features)

Hi All,
In the new Release of of BW on HANA 7.4, I have come across new features like Multi dimensional exception Aggregation where we can use 5 different reference characteristics, Current member variable,. I would like to check these new features. Currently we are using SAP GUI 7.3. and could not find these new features in the query designer. Could you please suggest if there is a new GUI available to see these new features in Bex? or please let me know where can I find these new features.
Best Regards

Hi Suman,
Thanks for your response, to be more clear, my question is regarding GUI only, the system is already on HANA, its 7.4. But the GUI we are using is 7.3. shold there be a new GUI after 7.3?

Any suggestion for a new sound card?

Hello!
My old PC has left me alone, and I'm going to build a new one from scratch this month. I'll be running Win7, I doubt I'll be going for Win8.
As for the sound card, I'd need some advice on what to buy: I have always had SoundBlaster cards and have loved them all, so I think I'll go for a new SoundBlaster (not even taking into account the built-in sound card on the motherboard...), but I can't discern which one would fit me best. I mostly use MIDI and soundfonts for recording study bases for my choir to rehearse and for composing orchestral music: I usually need complex MIDI files with many voices and instruments to perform well.
My old sound card was an Audigy with (just?) 48 MIDI channels (45 free + 3 drum channels), I'd like to have some recent card with good Win7 drivers, but still with many MIDI channels and soundfont support.
The one thing I'm sure I won't be changing at this moment is my 5.1 analogic speaker system, so I need a card with 5.1/7.1 analogic connectors.
Any advice (or wise info on what not to buy) will be much appreciated, thank you all!!!

Thank you for your advice. Have you tested any soundfont bank manager? Regarding this same soundcard, the Creative helpdesk told me it does not come in bundle... I was suggested to try with this one: http://ccfiles.creative.com/manualdn/Applications/AVP/11113/0xCA3D54C2/SFBM_PCAPP_LB_3_21_02.exe (Creative Soundfont Bank Manager 3.21.02), but they also told me (copied from their email)
This Creative SoundFont Bank Manager 3.21.02 is not bundled to the SoundBlaster Audigy Rx. You can try and test this but we do not officially claim that it will work.
Please note that the Creative SoundFont Bank Manager 3.21.02 is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit, Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit or 32-bit with Service Pack 1, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) 2005 or Windows XP MCE 2004.
For SoundBlaster Audigy Rx, it has synth a and synth b meaning 128/128 voices.
No mention about Win8 compatibility...

Where can i make a suggestion for a mail feature on a future update?

I was looking for somewhere to make a suggestion for a future mail feature on the iphone, but couldn't find a place to do it.
It would be useful to be able to set mail fetching as manual in the evening and timed during the working day so my evenings aren't disturbed by work emails.
What do you reckon Apple? A feature for the next iOS update?

http://www.apple.com/feedback
You are not addressing Apple here.
You can turn off the mail notification sound each night if you like.

Recommendation for a new feature - alert when an important email arrives

Why can't I set my iPhone to give me an alert when an important email arrives? This new feature would alert me when I get an email from a predetermined sender or subject line. AOL offers this feature. Why can't my iPhone do it too? The phone would need to read the sender address and subject line of each email, and then bounce it against a list of pre-configured alerts that the user programs.
This would also cut down on data consumption, since users would not have to check and recheck their mail when waiting for somethign important. With an alert, you just set it and forget it.

iOS 6, coming this fall, will include a new feature that allows you to designate a VIP list for just this purpose. This feature will be supported on the iPhone 4. See "Mail" here: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/.
