Tab Leader Advanced Formating - Feature Request

I'm sure I havent been the first to request this, but when setting paragraph styles the tabs leader section needs the ability to custimize the leaders so that when updates are made to say the TOC based on a paragraph style you don't lose the formating you did manually.
I like creating leaders to have different values from the copy. Color, opacity, tracking/spacing, and different styles of leaders other than dots (something similar to changing the stokes type). All of these options, maybe more, should be able to be set in the leader section of the paragraph styles.

  • Format tab leader in table of contents

    I have a table of contents that uses tab leaders. There are two levels of header in the table of contents. One is bolded (major headers) and one is not (minor headers). The page numbers are not bold for any entry. For example:
    Major Header.................1
    Minor Header...........2
    Apparently if you make the header text bold, the tab leader is bold too. This means that the major headers have bolded tab leaders, and the minor headers have regular tab leaders. This makes them appear uneven. I would like to use regular, unbolded leaders for all entries, but I don't know how to modify the leader formatting without affecting the header text.

    You can override the heading style setting.
    In the major headers, type a space at the end of the text and before the tab leader begins.
    Select all of the leader and the text/nmber at the end of that line.
    Toggle Bold to Off.
    If your header levels use different type sizes, the leaders will still look different. You can also use the Size control in the format bar to match the size of the leader to that of the minor header.
    Not thoroughly checked. You may find this unstable in use, particularly if the content in this is edited.

  • Feature request : import of multi-line notes in CSV or tab-delimited file

    This is a feature request to the AddressBook development team:
    Following a question posted here and asked to support (thanks to Barry and Julia from ADC), it turns out that AddressBook is not ready yet to import multi-line notes from a CSV or tab-delimited file.
    I would like to kindly suggest the AddressBook development team to update the import methods for such flat files to parse the text of what is assigned to the Notes field, and convert documented escape sequences to their pre-determined corresponding special character.
    I would think that the following would be pretty easy to implement, and easy for the targeted audience (enthousiasts power-users and up) to remember:
    "\n " : mark a new line (same as ^p in Word)
    "\t " : replace by a tab
    I would keep the trailing space to avoid problems with DOS-type file path problems.
    and of course...
    "\\n " and "\\t " for whoever would want to import notes about \n and \t
    For example, in a Notes column, the text:
    "Escape sequence \\n :\n move the text to a new line\n \n while escape sequence \\t :\t move the text to the next horizontal tab"
    would give the following (just consider text between <Note> marks):
    <Note>
    Escape sequence \n:
    move the text to a new line
    while escape sequence \t: move the text to the next horizontal tab
    </Note>
    Thanks for reading...
    Frédéric Denis

    The developers do not necessarily read these USER discussion pages. If you want to make suggestions and know they will be read (which is at least a step towards implementation) use the OS X feedback page.

  • Rejected feature request - Tabbed Interface

    Hello,
    first: I accept the decision to reject a feature request.
    But: is there a special reason to do so, since Tabbed Interface is among the top weighted requests.
    At the moment I have >50 connections because I have to support and develop more than one application each with production and at least 3 test DBs. Each connection has 20 nodes for types (tables, views...) each type has x nodes for objects. Thats a lot of scrolling to do. Closing the nodes after selecting an object is not really helpful, because then you have to open them again to select another.
    If not tabbed, perhaps splitting the connections is possible: one frame for the connections and below a second frame for the content of the selected connection.
    Regards
    Marcus

    For me this is definitely in my Top-5 of requests. Shame it's rejected...
    I imagine the change would take so much time and effort it's undoable right now... but after a few years when sqldev is more mature?
    It probably would imply changing the framework also, which is competence of the JDeveloper team.
    I see the reasons for postponing, but plainly rejecting?
    Hoping on a future revision of the request,

  • FEATURE REQUEST: Enhanced Texture Options in FW

    Recently, a forum user was asking how to change the color of a texture in Fireworks to red or blue. In particular, he/she was struggling with attempting to apply a texture to a white object, and it wasn't showing up.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006694?tstart=0
    The question got me thinking about textures, how they're created and how they're applied. Textures are a unique and distinctive feature of Fireworks. On the one hand, the interface for textures is very simple to use and almost magical; on the other hand, it's surprisingly limited. The concept is great, but the implementation seems only half-baked.
    With this in mind, I'd like to suggest a few simple ways that textures could be made more fluid and versatile in Fireworks.
    First, a little background...
    WHAT IS A TEXTURE?
    In the world of Fireworks, a texture is basically a type of pattern that's applied to an object. However, unlike a pattern fill, textures include transparency and integrate with the existing fill content (color, gradient or pattern). They're suggestive of textures in the real world, which are often tactile and defined visually by light and shadow.
    Texture graphics are most commonly grayscale ("black and white") in GIF or PNG format. Applied within the application, the graphics are converted "on the fly" to white-on-transparency. If the Transparent option is checked, the graphic is converted into a sort of mask, making the "textured" areas invisible instead of white.
    And that's about it.
    So what if you'd like to apply a dark texture to a white object? Sorry, it can't be done. What if you'd like to apply a texture in color? It can't be done. What if you'd like to reverse or invert the pattern of the texture? Can't be done.
    Well, in fact, these things can be done, but not directly. They require workarounds such as cloning the object and placing the clone above or beneath the original, applying textures as pattern fills (instead of as textures) and adding effects like Color Fill, Invert, and Convert to Alpha, or editing the texture file directly, saving out a new copy, etc. In short, there are unintuitive ways to accomplish these goals that lead to bloated effects lists and layers or that require extra time and care.
    HOW CAN TEXTURES BE IMPROVED?
    First of all, does it make any sense that textures are applied exclusively in white? Not really. In the real world, a texture can be defined not just by light but by shadow. And even shadows can have color. This means that, at minimum, it would make sense to allow for the application of a texture in black, and, at maximum, in any chosen color.
    Secondly, textures are relative. They represent change to an existing surface. Sometimes, it might make sense to highlight the texture itself; other times, the surface around the texture. This means that being able to quickly reverse the figure-ground relationship of a texture would be a very handy feature.
    With the above concerns in mind, I've devised three 'user interface' scenarios, presented here in order of most conservative to most extreme. The first scenario is the least powerful but still doubles the number of possible outcomes (compared to the existing interface). The second scenario may be the most logical of the bunch and represents a modest evolution of the existing interface, while increasing the number of potential outcomes even further. The third scenario allows for the application of any color to a texture but also represents the biggest change to the existing interface; that said, it's also quite compact.
    Scenario 1: Invert option
    The idea here is simply to add an Invert checkbox to the existing options. Checking this option would convert white to black, allowing for the application of dark textures to white or light-colored objects. In "Transparent" mode, this option would invert or reverse the figure-ground relationship of the existing texture.
    Scenario 2: Dropdown menu plus Reverse option
    Here, the Transparent checkbox is replaced by a dropdown menu that includes 3 mutually exclusive options: White, Black, or Transparent. Checking the "Reverse" option would invert the figure-ground relationship of the texture. This scenario allows for 6 possible outcomes in place of the existing 2, and is actually more logical than the first scenario, which conflates two options.
    Scenario 3: Color picker plus Reverse option
    Here, the Transparent checkbox is removed, and in its place, a color chip/palette is added to allow for the selection of any color to be applied to a texture. (Choosing Fill: None would create Transparency.) Again, a "Reverse" option would invert the figure-ground relationship of the texture. This scenario differs most from the existing interface but is quite compact and allows for the greatest number of outcomes.
    SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?
    I've submitted a feature request to Adobe's official site:

    FEATURE REQUEST
    Product name: Fireworks
    Product Version: 12.0.0.236
    Product language: English
    *******Enhancement / FMR*********
    Brief title for your desired feature: Enhanced texture controls, including the ability to apply textures in black and/or color (instead of white), and the ability to reverse or invert texture.
    How would you like the feature to work? Three possible implementations have been outlined in this forum posting:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042206?tstart=0
    The basic scenarios are as follows:
    SCENARIO 1: An additional "Invert" option. Checking this option would convert white to black, allowing for the application of dark textures to white or light-colored objects. In "Transparent" mode, this option would invert or reverse the figure-ground relationship of the existing texture. This scenario would allow for 4 options in place of the existing 2.
    SCENARIO 2: Replace Transparent checkbox with a dropdown menu (White-Black-Transparent) and a "Reverse" checkbox. The dropdown menu offers 3 mutually exclusive options, while "Reverse" inverts the figure-ground relationship of the texture in each case. This scenario would allow for 6 options in place of the existing 2.
    SCENARIO 3: Replace Transparent checkbox with a color chip/palette and a "Reverse" checkbox. The color palette would allow for the application of a texture in any color, while choosing Fill: None would create Transparency. This scenario would allow for the greatest number of options.
    Why is this feature important to you? Textures are unique to Fireworks and potentially very useful, but their implementation is incomplete. The use of 'white only' means that textures cannot be applied to a white object. Inverting a texture or applying a texture in color requires advanced workarounds and can lead to bloat. The suggested options would make the feature exponentially more powerful and intuitive.

    Thanks, Jim! It is a very blog-like post. (I still haven't gotten around to starting a blog but keep thinking I should.)
    I figured the clearer and more thought-out the presentation, the greater the likelihood it might get implemented. Also, I was originally stuck on Scenario 1 as a solution, and writing this helped me see other options.

  • Feature Request: Setting App page title to something other than "Eloqua 10"

    Hello everyone,
    Long-time lurker, first-time poster. As someone who has been using Eloqua for over 3 years, when working in the application, I will usually end up with upwards of half-a-dozen tabs open in Firefox, all of which say "Eloqua 10". Because of this, I'll usually try to strategically organize my tabs, but often times I end up having to click through multiple tabs to find the one I'm looking for, which can sometimes lead to Firefox freezing. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
    So to alleviate this, I'd like to make the following feature request: Can we have the tabs/windows named by Asset Type & Asset Name? Perhaps in the following Format:
    [Asset Type]: [Asset Name] - Eloqua 10
    Note how I have "Eloqua 10" at the end of the string. An example of a title would be: "Campaigns: Nurture_Campaign_1 - Eloqua 10"
    Could this please be implemented?
    Thank you,
    Sean

    Here is a snippet of code that I wrote and use without any problem:
       public void ppPrint() {
          if (printJob==null) initPrintJob();
          try {
             if (!printJob.printDialog(aset)) return;
          } catch (Throwable e) {
       public void initPrintJob() {
          aset=new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
          aset.add(new JobName("AOKabc",null));
          aset.add(new MediaPrintableArea(.75f,.25f,7.5f,10.5f,MediaPrintableArea.INCH));
          printJob=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();      
    /* locate a print service that can handle the request */
          PrintService[] services=PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
          if (services.length==0) System.out.println("Warning: No printer detected!");
          else {
             try {
                printJob.setPrintService(services[0]);
             } catch (Throwable pe) { }
          pageFormat=printJob.defaultPage();
          Paper paper=new Paper();
          paper.setImageableArea(54,18,540,756);
          pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
          printJob.setPrintable(Preview.this);
       };o)

    For above encryption request, SecuSmart was suggested...
    Renaming the file without extension can break the file or hide it from pictures list.
    Wallpaper scrolling sideways.
    Standalone e-mail app (not sure how different it is than choosing emails-only for hub)
    Different colors or small tabs in different colors for different accounts in Hub.
    Share webpages with smart tag (I think you can just create it by pasting the URL into create QR)

    Custom vibration options.
    Move Send button in BBM to avoid accidental submission of message
    Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
    Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
    Single key press to change profiles.
    Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
    Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
    Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
    Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
    Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
    Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
    Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
    Call Recording
    Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails,  or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
    Customize email signatures with formatting.
    Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
    More Options for Clock.
    In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
    There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
    Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
    E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
    When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
    Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
    Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
    When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
    Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
    We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
    I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
    None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
    There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
    Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
    Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
    Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
    Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
    Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
    Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
    No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
    The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
    Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
    Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
    We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
    them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
    Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
    There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
    Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
    I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
    Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

  • Multiple Imperative Feature Requests

    I am a MN Photographer and have been using PS Lightroom through 2 betas and 2 release versions. I have been amazed at the improvements Adobe has added, but from my point of view, they need to add a few more features to make LR more robust and efficient!
    I love the way LR makes terrific web galleries!
    I am running LR from a Seagate Barracuda 300 External Hard Drive with Firewire connection. I am using a Mac Powerbook (1GHz Processor) with 60GB HD and 55% free, w/ 2GB DRAM, and an Apple Cinema Display. I can't complain about slow downs, but keep my permissions tuned once a week, both on the Mac PB and all EHDs.
    LIGHTROOM FEATURE REQUESTS
    1. From the Web module, there is only one option for adding Copyright Info to images in the Web Galleries, either ON or OFF. It would be a great addition to have this option variable by type size, type placement on images, and opacity. I last generated a web gallery and some of the images said, "2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," but many of the images said, "Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," without a year. A few images said, "Copyright 2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," like it is supposed to! The LR application has been inconsistent so far in this area. By adding a line of copy that can be saved, and by varying the opacity and placement on images would be a huge step forward!
    2. It is IMPERATIVE that you embed metadata into the Web gallery images. This is primarily for adding keywords and copyright information, but LR is inconsistent so far. Sometimes metadata is preserved, but it doesn't always get embedded when exporting images.
    3. When I generated a Flash Web Gallery, some of the color was good, some of it was terrible. I have suggested before that you write into the action that takes the original image, reduces it in size, then convert to profile from Prophoto to sRGB. I suspect that you have a script in there "Save for Web". This script is denigrating the color when Convert to Profile would preserve the color. Admittedly Safari is the primary web browser I use, and it's color-centric, whereas most of the others IE, Netscape, and Mozilla, aren't.
    4. When I use HTML for the web galleries, the color is spot on, but a young friend told me it would be better to hit one button to go through the images as in a rapidly advancing slide show, rather than hitting each image, and then wait for it to enlarge. This could be another marked improvement, if you made the output a slideshow from the Web Module.
    5. I tried generating a slideshow from the Lightroom menu, and had about 200 images in a collection. The application went through the motions, but I tried opening the slideshow but it didn't work. I tried it in PDF format and it output a 135MB file that ADobe Acrobat couldn't open. It is still not working. I have also used a third party application Photo to Movie (www.LQGraphics.com). This is a $50 application that you can add music to and vary the zooms and dissolves and this works incredibly well!!!
    6. One of my biggest problems so far is the sort mechanism. I have about 9500 images in my library, and about 5% of those were made from about 2004 and on. My images are sorted by "capture time," but the images shot back in CY 2004--2005 are mixed in somewhere way down in the pile. There are some bugs in the program for reading the capture time, and so far this is not working accurately!
    7. From the Lightroom Library module, several times I have exported images for 3rd party needs and the application puts out varying results. In March I output some images for Communication Arts magazine. They specified file size and format, and it took me several times to export the images to their specifications. I recently exported some images for submission to a UK based stock photography agent. The images came from 5 different cameras~~Hasselblad w/ Imacon Digital Back, Kodak DCS-14, Canon 1ds MkII, and Canon D-20. There were 10 images that needed to be output as JPEGs (

    1. LR uses what was written in the copyright field so it's your data entry that is inconsistent.
    2. Are you 100% certain this is not working reliably under 1.1? It definitely wasn't working at all under 1.0 and Adobe responded to complaints. Since 1.1, I've taken large numbers of Web-generated pictures into iView and not found any cases where the metadata was missing. "Sometimes" is too vague. How exactly can you prove it? What programs prove it?
    3. Not sure, but isn't this a problem because of Flash? Also the browser you use is not important - it's the browser that your visitor uses that you need to focus on.
    4. Realistically, Flash is better for this. You can always get someone to write/modify HTML templates to do such a slideshow, but the built-in templates are already very complex and this suggestion would add another layer of browser incompatibility.
    7. This isn't a feature request. Raise this in the main forum - and be specific (your post was also too long and got truncated). How can anyone help you if you say "varying results"? It's unlikely that any variation is random.

  • RV320 and RV325 Feature Request

    Hello Cisco Small Business Community.  
    We are a Cisco Select Partner and have started using RV320's and RV325's with our customers.  As we are implementing these deployments, I have noticed there are a few features I would like to see added to the product.  I've listed them below.
    Urgently Needed Feature Requests:
    1.  Allow a subnet mask in the 255.255.0.0 range for LAN VLAN's.  Many of our customers use a 10.x.x.x range for subnets and many use a 16 bit subnet mask to give them plenty of room to create both static and dynamic assignments.  For example, subnet 10:  10.10.0.0/16 with a range of 10.10.10.1-254 for dhcp dynamic leases, and 10.10.0.1-254 for servers, and 10.10.1.1-254 for printers, and 10.10.2.1-254 for networking gear, etc.  None of these networks have more than 254 devices on them, but the extra IP range availability is nice because it allows us to help keep their networks organized.
    2. The ability to create service groups for firewall and NAT rule creation.  There are often times when we need to group several services together and create firewall and NAT rules for them.  This would simplify setup and implementation.  An example of this feature on Cisco Small Business Products was on the ISA550.
    3.  The ability to have the RV320/325 to serve as the NTP server for the network.  Most small business customers need NTP server functionality, and the logical place to stick this service for many of these networks is on the firewall.
    4.  The ability to specify any RFC DHCP option.  We have some need to be able to specify several additional DHCP options than the ones hard coded into the firewall dhcp server pages.  In addition to the options the DHCP servers on the RV320/325 already includes, the common ones that we often use are "Time Server," "Log Server," and "Time Offset."
    6.  The ability to specify a domain search list and for DHCP clients.
    7.  The option to register DHCP clients with the specified DNS server (including the on-box DNS Forwarder).
    8.  The ability to tweak Firewall Session Settings (like in the RV220w and ISA550) and TCP/UDP Timeouts.  If full control is not an option, then may four choices such as:  "Conservative" -- keeps TCP/UDP connections alive for the longest period of time, "Normal" -- normal TCP/UDP Timeouts, High Latency -- Keep TCP/UDP connections alive for a longer period of time.
    9.  Additional Diagnostic/status screen information:  -- CPU usage for 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes, -- number of Firewall Sessions/States, --Firewall Temperature, -- Real Time and RRD based traffic graphs for 15 minutes, 4 hours, 8 hours, 1 day, and 1 week, 
    10.  The ability to pull Firmware Updates directly from the Cisco support site onto the firewall.
    Nice to Have Features:
    1.  VRRP on both WAN and LAN interfaces.
    2.  The ability to answer DNS helper requests.  What I mean is to be able to set the on-box DHCP server up to serve as the DHCP server for non-connected subnets
    3.  SSH and Telnet command line access for basic troubleshooting (top, pftop, nbtstat, reboot, etc.)
    4.  The ability to backup and restore parts of the Config file, e.g. just the VPN setup or just the firewall rules
    5.  OSPF Dynamic Routing Support
    With some of the advanced features, I wouldn't mind needing to buy a perpetual "advanced" license for an extra $50 to $100 (e.g. for VRRP, OSPF, SSH access, etc.).
    I hope to hear some responses back from Cisco Product Support on these items. 

    Hello vreid47362,
    I'm quite a bit surprised to see that we have both the same idea: provide our feedbacks to cisco to increase our product usage.
    Here's mine list:
    Custom services
    - I was a bit surprised when I have seen for the first time the embedded services list : there is some that I'm sure that nobody use (HTTP and HTTPS secondary), and some usefull network protocols which are missing : NTP, NNTP, NFS, SAMBA, BONJOUR, SSDP, etc.
    It could be interesting to start router with those embedded services.
    - An option to select both the TCP and UDP services could be very usefull : for now, when we add a service, we have to specify protocol in the following list : TCP, UDP, IPV6.
    If I wants to add a rule for NFS without take care of TCP and UDP, I have to set up :
    - two custom services, one for UDP, one for TCP
    - two custom rules, one for NFS TCP, one for NFS UDP.
    If we have two networks or VLAN, we have to define 4 rules...
    - Increase the custom service description length could be helpfull : for now it's a problem if we wants to add more than 11 characters.
    - If we add a custom service by error, we are unable to remove the generated field : field say that it expect something. if we do not wants to loose previous fields set, we have to save it with false values, and delete after it. Just boring. 
    Setting up firewall rules for the first time
    - The "View logs" button is located on the bottom of the log tab; if we wants to view logs, we have to scroll : it's very boring when we're setting up our rules : we have to go to the firewall tab, and if there is something wrong, we need to go to log tab and scroll.
    If you add a shortcut to the log from the firewall rules tab could be very usefull.
    Managing firewall rules on the time
    - Be able to add a description of the rules defined could be helpfull : I've set all my rules now, but in few months when I'll come back to the interface, I'm not sure to understand all meaning. A description to explain the rule's object could be usefull.
    - If we log something in the firewall logs and if we want to remove the a logging trace type, we have to pass on each rules we think it can log something. It could be interesting to view logging option from the grid: it'll help us to earn time.
    - Be able to filter rules by VLAN, protocol, ports or the rule's logging state from the rules grid could be helpfull.
    Double Wan management
    - Add an autodetect feature for the available bandwith could be very helpfull : accoding with values detected, you can help to configure more easily the router
    Double wan protocol binding and multiples VLAN
    - When I set up the protocols binding configuration I'm was very boring to have to set up rules for all outgoing protocol rules a interface : for example,  wants to set up all outgoing SMTP protocol on the WAN1 interface, we have to select SMTP and add 1.1.1.1 au 223.255.255.254. If we have multiples VLAN, we have to repeat this rule for each VLAN subnet mask…
    Set up an option for all outgoing traffic could be very helpfull.
    DHCP Subnet masks more than 255.255.255.x
    Like vreid47362 said, I'm also interested in this feature: For now, subnet masks defined for the DHCP Vlan are provided from a preconfigured select box. If we wants to choose something other than those provided, we can't. It could be interesting to add own own subnet mask (like for example 255.255.0.0).
    Kind regards
    David

  • AMP Feature request thread

    I've just started trying to use the AMP for some home entertainment and I must say it has been a challenge to enjoy this product in its current form. Perhaps I dont have a grasp on what the expressed functions of the player are, and what advantages can it offer me over the myriad of other players and services.
    I can find nowhere else to leave feedback and suggestions or have dialog with adobe developers so I thought, like in many other Adobe product forums, to begin a feature request thread in hopes that if enough users add feedback we may eventually have an improved product. In the same regard users can enlighten others as to what functions they find useful already. Its not meant to be a gripe list but a chance to voice constructive ideas and share experience with the product.
    Preamble complete, I will have first go:
    1) The system options seem very limited to me, for instance I can not find an option to view or change in what directory\folder the video files are downloaded or cached to.
    2) A minimized view or skin would add benefit for me. It seems now the only options are full screen and a small window housed inside the AMP program window. With any other media player I have used one can play a file in a resizable window without all the other program buttons and menus eating up your screen space.
    3) Video controls options during playback, like chroma level, brightness/contrast, gamma. This is standard on other players.
    4) I get annoyed when I am watching a video and I pause and go to the home or favorites tab, AMP automatically disconnects the video I was playing, and the I must search the catalogue to find it, restart it, and re-watch the commercials if any to re-cue it to the last viewing spot.
    5) I dont really appreciate the default favorites or new episodes listed. That is not needed.
    6) There are no right click menus? Odd. At the least I would like to be able to right click a video file to pull up information on it. In fact, I would like any method of looking at files information. This goes hand in hand with the general lack of user options throughout the program.
    7) Last one for now, but a big one. Why in the world would AMP not support more video formats? I, like most computing people, horde all kinds of different media files in my various libraries. If AMP cant play them it has a big disadvantage to all of the other ubiquitous media players out there.
    Thats it for starters. Hopefully I will start get more familiar with the program and then find more benefits. Please, add to this thread if you have any thoughts on the AMP.

    1.  Ability to skip forward (fast forward) through a video or rewind video.
    2.  Point AMP to a set of folders containing personal videos I want to watch in AMP.  Right now, if I have a series of videos that form one full course, I have to eliminate the previous course videos so they do not get mixed in with the new course videos.
    3.  Ability to go back to where I was in the video when the Internet goes down (or flickers) rather than play from beginning.
    4.  By the way, why are the TV shows going away?  This was the No. 1 reason we installed AMP on our multimedia computer!
    That is all for now.
    Thanks,
    edsager

  • Feature Request / After Effects

    Feature Request from Advanced Level User.
    1. Copy and Paste Comp settings to Other Selected Comps
    We are creating Motor Shows for major Automotive clients and often need to resize animated stings etc. in various different formats and clients often change things whenever they like.
    When a client says could you change the resolution of that master render or the framerate then it would be great if you could copy composition settings and apply them to all the nested compositions that you choose. This should be similar to copying footage interpretation and pasting the info to a selection of video assets.
    To elaborate, take the scenario where you have a file rendered at 1024x768 @ 30fps. The client says please make it PAL 720x576. Simple: you just put the master output into another comp and scale down to the new size. The 25fps would be reducing frames so that should be fine also. Now the client says they need a 1280x720p @ 50fps version that they forgot to tell you about. Now you could put the 1024x768 comp into the new 720p size and crop top and bottom. But you would have to scale UP the width from 1024 to 1280. Increasing the framerate would only work if you switched on collapse transformation in all of the nested comps, lets assume there are 50 of these due to the nature of this streamlined composite. Collapse Trans. or Grow Bounds is of course an option but not always relevant. Often the only way is to trawl though a chain of Nested comps and manually change size, framerate etc. The process of neatly nesting and working at the highest resolution needed is good practice. But often clients do not tell you about that 'big' version they need too, so speaking in hindsight is of little use. It happens often.
    If you could simply change the size of the master output comp and then copy it's settings, select all the nested comps in the Project Window and then paste the settings into all the nested comps you would have saved a lot of time.
    Shari.

    Dear Steve,
    Thank you for that superb feedback. It was a great place to start and eventually I arrived at a script called selected_comps_changer.jsx by Chris Green.
    If anyone else needs it then it is here:
    http://www.crgreen.com/aescripts/actual_scripts/Selected_Comps_Changer.jsx
    It does exactly what it says on the box.
    Many thanks again,
    Shari.

  • A few Feature Requests for Leopard

    Apple, I have a few feature requests that I would like to see added into Leopard ASAP and I am sure there are a few other here that I am missing (Please feel free to contribute to this thread).
    SPACES - I want to have a different desktop picture for each "space" I create. I would also like to be able to use a combination of hotkeys to bring spaces into view and not just a single "F" key.
    STACKS- This is a cool feature but would be even cooler if you could use the contextual menu on items within a stack to delete them without opening the enclosing folder.
    FINDER- I would like to see the preference "Save view preferences for this window only" brought back. Some finder windows I like to view in list mode, others in column view.
    TIME MACHINE - I would like an "Advanced Options" tab that would allow me to schedule my backups other than an incremental every hour. During the day when I am not at my home computer I do not need Time Machine to back up my drive every hour but perhaps every four hours. Then, when I am back at home, during certain hours I wouldn't mind its out of the box configuration.
    SAFARI- A feature Safari has been constantly lacking is the ability to close the downloads window when a download completes. Another feature would be the saving of the last workspace so that when I quit and re-launch Safari I could start exactly where I left off. Now, there are third party applications which add this functionality but I would like to see it built-in by default.
    These are a few things that I have found thus far that I would like to see fixed in an update to Leopard. Otherwise I would say I am very impressed with Leopard and will be recommending it to all my friends, family, and coworkers.

    Actually, you need to put this on the "Feedback to Apple" on Apple's web site--it won't get to them here. This is just a user to user forum.

  • Recovering Windows 7 with advanced format drive failes without SP1

    I have a dv6-2150us and the hard drive failed.  I acquired a new drive and ran recovery disks.  Unfortunately many features do not work correctly on an advanced format drive in Windows 7 without SP1.  The key feature is Windows update does not work which prevents me from upgrading to SP1.  I tried many fixes to Windows update and downloaded SP1 from Microsoft's site, but they all fail to install because update fails to run.
    Any advice?  I tried to install a fresh ISO of Windows 7 SP1 which works fine, but I would rather not pay for an OS I already own.  My Windows license key doesn't work with the Windows 7 SP1 install.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    dv6guy,
    Did the HP Recovery Discs actually fail to install??? Does the recovered install fail to boot completely or correctly. Or does the recovered install not only have isues with Windows update and/or other software???
    If the recovery completes and you can enter Windows please try to use ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support to backup the installed HP OEM SLP key and HP OEM SLP certificate. Once you have these, save the complete ABR folder to an external location, like a USB stick. Next, install Windows 7 SP1 from your fresh ISO. Do not enter a product key when requested and do not allow Windows to try to activate the computer. Now, restore the key and certificate to your fresh Windows 7 SP1 install. Verify that Windows is activated. Post back and let us know if this succeeded or failed
    Please see this forum thread entitled How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc for more on the subject.

  • BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

    I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
    I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
    BUGS
    (Not listed in any particular order)
    (A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
    (B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
    (C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
    (D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
    (E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
    (F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
    (G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
    (H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
    (I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
    (J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
    (K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
    Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
    (In no particular order)
    1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
    2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
    3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
    4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
    5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
    6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
    7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
    8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
    9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
    10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
    11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
    12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
    13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
    14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
    15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
    16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
    17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
    18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
    Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
    I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
    It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
    The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

    This is a great post.
    I couldn't have written it myself better.
    I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
    But I second every point.
    I hope the tech teams are reading this.

  • New feature Request: Room Correction!

    Hey Creative!
    Long time user and devoted fan of your products... remember back in the day when your sound cards had game ports for things like joysticks? I may have just about every generation of your cards made lying around in boxes just collecting dust. I update when you guys make something new.. always have... anyway...
    I have a few computers around the house and office/studio- and they are all using the latest soundblaster z-series (z/zx/zxr) products. Unfortunately, I really just dont use a lot of what they are capable of any longer.
    I've moved on. Really, all your card is doing for me anymore is create a Dolby Digital signal via TOSlink that I'm decoding with a receiver... I dont even use soundblaster's advanced features like crystalizer or the like any longer because it interferes with the processing I do further down in the signal chain. or At times, I just use the HDMI out on my video card to get full 7.1 out of movie files.. bypassing your card altogether.
    Here's why: I use an outboard receiver.
    I do this for one reason only: Room correction.
    At the computer on which Im writing this ridiculously long post, I'm using the full suite of Audyssey XT32 tools pulled from a 4520ci hooked up to a fleet of active studio monitors and subs producing 11.2 surround. (I know I know.. overkill.. but its awesome. A sound you just have to experience to understand. Elsewhere in the home I use less expensive Onkyo's with Audyssey XT and XT32. I'm just completely sold on room correction as a supplement to speaker selection and room treatment for audio enjoyment.)
    Point is... I have wildly expensive receivers on my racks that do nothing but process digital audio streams and do room correction.That's it. They do this fabulously, mind you; but I can't help but think Creative would be VERY good at doing this, too. at a fraction of the expense.
    You guys already make a card that uses excellent DSP chips... why not add another dedicated to correction routines?
    you are expert at room emulation and sound manipulation processing... why not use this expertise and use it to create room correction?
    you already have mic ports... let's put 'em to use!
    You make excellent software and have proven the ability to guide users in getting better sound quality... lets take it to the next level!
    This kind of stuff is selling like crazy in the HT market...
    I just can't see why Creative and Soundblaster can't get in on the fun.
    Software implementations are too niche, hopelessly expensive, and fairly buggy in execution.
    Even if you were to license basic room EQ implementations from a company like Audyssey or Dirac, the demand is out there. Just check the HT forums, the sound mixing forums...
    It would be awesome to have a fully scaleable sound card from Soundblaster with this feature set: 2.0 sound all the way to 11.2 (or more) with expansion cards or whatever. Even a breakout box with RCA and/or XLR's for the serious audio nutjobs like myself... with all channels hardware corrected for room abnormalities...
    Something like this would eliminate $1k's from setups like mine everywhere... and I'd like to see you guys wipe the floor with these other guys with what you could come up with.
    Finally, Dolby Atmos/ Auro3d / DTS NEO:X / DTS MDA....
    these formats feature higher channel counts and- in two of those examples, object-based surround...
    The need for assistance in getting the most out of imperfect rooms imperfect speaker combinations is going to make room correction more and more the minimum expectation from consumers. Even in the PC market.
    I'd love to see room correction and these next-gen formats supported.
    Thoughts?

    Hello OMG,
    Welcome to the Creative Forums and much thanks for your years of continued support! It would be amazing if you could share a photo of your extensive collection of Sound Blasters here - I'm pretty sure the original team would love to see that and take a trip down memory lane for a couple of moments.
    Through the years, technology change and people's lifestyle and tastes change. That's not to say that some of the previous features and functions are dated. They were awesome features and tools for its time back then. But as you've rightly mentioned, we have to move on as well. Different strokes for different people.
    Will we ever see room correction back into the cards? I don't know and I'm unable to comment. I shall leave this for the team to consider.
    Thanks once again for your support.
    Cheers,
    Colin-CL
