What do you like in an application.

hey guys, I've been discussing with a couple of friends about what makes the games that we use addictive, and makes you want to use it in your spare time. so of use have some time, could you please describe what you like in an Application for iPhone/iPad/iPod/Mac.
Sincerely, Nick

I like puzzle games, but I don't think that's a genre specific to "iPhone/iPad/iPod/Mac". There is (virtually) nothing that makes a game in general more or less likable *because* you can run it on an Apple device. All good games get ported to other platforms and tablets as well, either by their original developers, or as a shameless rip-off.
In my starting days, I used to like that an intelligent programmer could *amaze* me with detail, depth, and speed in an 48K game (*) on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and keep me occupied for hours. Nowadays, I'm not so easily amazed anymore. I can't recall when I lifted my eyebrows in suprise for the last time -- but the simple concept and clean, basic play of "100 floors" positively made me grin. That reminds me, I still have about 30 floors to go.
(*) Minus about 7K needed for the display, of course.

  • AIR Application in "What would you like to do?" Screen

    Hi,
    I would like my AIR application to show up on Windows or Mac when USB drives are attached in the screen that says something to the effect of
    "Found a new USB drive (Canon Digital Camera), what would you like to do?" followed by a list of applications and possible actions (I'd like one of them to be Open MyAIRApp to Import Photos).
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Try going to System Preferences +CDs & DVDs+ pane.
    Then change +When you insert a picture CD+ to Ignore. It should then do nothing when you insert the picture CD (but it should not think it's a blank CD). If so, change it back to whatever it was set to before, and it should now work.

  • What Tool You Like The Most To Use In Adobe Photoshop 6?

    Hi Guys,
    I was looking to ask a question about PS 6! It could kinda silly but I found it interesting! Give me your words about what tool you like the most to use in Adobe Photoshop 6?
    Additions would be highly appreciated!
    Christie!

    Hi Christie!
    Actually the thing is that when we are so eager about designing and start using PS then it's hard to tell that what tool we use the most and what tool we like the most to use! Besides my personnal opinion is to use Lasso tool would be my favorite

  • What Would you like to see changed in FC?

    Hello everybody,
    just  a little introduction, as announced flash catalyst would solve the  problem of many designers to publish their work without one line of  code, well, here begins a death foretold. At  some point things to go well but then the problems begin a dependence  to have a programmer on the left arm in addition to the program is  rather limited. Flash is already incorporating the AS3 language, now wonder why launch a program with a new language, rather confusing, no? as  a designer I do not want to worry about programming, but concentrate on  the aesthetic aspect of my layout, which is why I found interesting the  coming of the catalyst. it was all a lie, or say one more death will be announced shortly birth. but we believe that all this will change and enable designers to express their skills as designers and media .... without a single line of code. otherwise the flash is fine and the catalyst becomes an obsolete program. finally,  each monkey on its branch and rethink that, besides confusing the  catalyst does not become functional in the optical designer.
    What would you like to see changed in Catalyst?
    - Most states
    - can apply Form Email etc
    - better handling of text
    - No dependence with programmers, or if it is not possible to incorporate code changes in the proper catalyst
    more there, and hopefully remember me
    I  want to thank The Adobe team that created the opportunity to open new  horizons to the class of designers, I still think that the catalyst has  great potential ,.... but not the way it is.
    Thank you for your attention
    and say what they liked to see
    cheers
    Mike

    Well the forms for sure. At least an email form. This really just needs to be there. Ultimatley I think there just needs to be some training right now if they want this product to get used the way they intended. I am sure I will have a ton more to add to this list as I dig deeper into my first live job using it.
    Not sure on the AS3 thing, it has been out since 2006, although I may have just misread what you were saying.
    A way to change the loading bar would definitly be nice now that I am thinking about it.

  • HT1338 I currently have Snow Leopard and am thinking of upgrading to Lion but have heard some bad things about it.  Should I upgrade or not? What do you like/dislike about Lion?

    I currently have Snow Leopard and am thinking of upgrading to Lion but have heard some bad things about it.  Should I upgrade or not? What do you like/dislike about Lion?

    It is indeed all down to what you need to do with your machine.   Snow leopard is an excellent OS and as Baltwo suggests you have to check out your current apps and programs because PPC won't work on any higher OS than the one you have.
    Andy's comment is very interesting and, I suspect, insider knowledge based     Certainly I would wait for Mavericks now it is on the horizon ... and then add six months or so for the bugs to be ironed out.
    Good luck, whatever you do.   I'm staying with Snow Leopard.

  • What would you like to see added to GB4?

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

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

  • Suggestion BOX for Premiere Pro!!! Add your suggestions. what would you like to see in CS 6.5 or CS7

    1. I would appreciate if you could import and link files like in avid media composer.
    Sometimes we work on bigger projects and from different computers, but if I open the project on another computer I have to relink the files, what sometimes is really annoying, and sometimes I take my work  home, but can't, since the files are placed on different servers/locations I just can access at work. So, the "real" import would be very helpful.
    2. You also should be able to have the opportunity to structure your project like in avid media composer.
    If you create a new project, there should be just one place/location where your files are stored like the Avid MediaFiles folder.
    3. On the list view - it should be possible to sort assets, and in the project window the icons are still to large (even though you are already chose the smallest)
    4. Speed/Duration - It should be possible not only to adjust the % it would be nice, also to adjust the frame rate.
    e.g. you have a project/clip with 25/24fps. and you want play it in 24/25fps without skipping/interpolating frames.  Also when you render it, it should be possible to choose this option (with the information that the clip will be played slower or faster, depends what you want)  It's just like you would speed or slow down the indicator in the timeline.
    5. Is it already possible to choose a window via keyboard???
    If the source monitor is activated and I want to activate the timeline, can I do this without using the mouse, like (alt+F4)?   Jumping between the source-project monitor, project window, timeline ....  This would increase my work SPEED also if you in the source monitor and want to jump into the effects panel should be possible  without mouse (tab).
    6.  If you already work on a project and you recognize that you have the wrong audio track settings that would it be possible to change it from mono to stereo and stereo to mono.
    7.  Multicam
    If you have set up a Multicam session with many (and/or) big files, than would it be nice if you could do a right click on it and choose something like - convert to workable quality (proxies) - (also the size of the video e.g. from 720p to 360p should shrink)(option box where you can adjust the quality/size and also what premere pro suggest) because in many cases you have to convert it manually and this are some extra steps you have to do, what I think isn't necessary. After you are done with the editing you should right click again and able to choose - replace with original files - or something like that.
    Editing in MULTICAM MODUS is sometimes still a pain. We want edit sometimes in Multicam - Monitor, but every time I stop recording and press play and just want to change the camera, I get an new edit I don't want (and rec turns automatically on) Then when th rec is on and I go frame by frame and click in the multicam monitor on the camera I want, it doesn't add an edit. This all is so weird and makes multicam uncomfortable to work.
    I'm really interested what your ideas are and maybe adobe picks some of it (hopefully) to improve premiere pro.

    Thx for this input and information!
    I'll try it.
    1&2. Most of the time, the files get moved from one server to another where I have no influence on it. That's why import is so important to me, and still have to work on avid media composer.
    4. I knew that it'll work like this this , but I still hope it's going to be easier in future, so I can avoid an extra sequenz
    5. Thx a lot, because I couldn't find out, and this will speed up my work speed
    6. Never mind, I just had once the problem I made a stereo track (because it was recorded in stereo). Then came the time to mix and master it and figured out (this should be mono) I tried to change it to mono but I couldn't.
    7. I'm using multicam most of the time on a mobile computer and I have footage of 4 cameras in 1080p or 720p50/60. Then I can't edit it in multicam because it's too much for my computer and I have to resize it what takes ages. I know you could say I should purchase a better computer, but I have no problems to edit 2 video tracks in 1080p
    Thank you again, and sry that I posted my wishes in this forum. was looking for suggestion box but couldn'd find it. Now I know it's called wishform.
    Again THX alot.!!!

  • What would you like to know about Xperia Z2 Tablet?

    I am so disappointed.  I bought an Xperia Z2 tablet wifi from Ebay USA and I received it today and not been able to use it.
    When I switch on there is 2 screens one is to "Choose your language" which of course, is English, no problem with that.  The second screen is "Choose your Country", but no UK to choose, only 4 countries which were Hong Kong, China, Emirates etc, so what do I do know, I cant go any further until this is solved????????????????   HELP ME PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It sounds like your tablet has a software branded/customize for the region of China/Hong Kong. If this is the case you will not be able to select UK as your country. I suggest that you contact your retailer to see if the tablet is for the region of China/Hong Kong.

  • Feature requests: What would you like to add or improve?

    I couldnt see a way to start the question of what features we, (the PS Touch for Phone) community would like to see.
    Ok, it'll probably never be like the full version of Photoshop but some features if possible might improve user experience for some.
    Any one any suggestions?
    I'll start the ball rolling:
    Support for layers when importing a Desktop CS6 file into PS Touch for Phone (hereafter called PSTP to save re-typing).
    Support for vector data and editing, especially when importing. i.e. non-destructive editable boxes/ shapes with curved edges, gradients etc that can be re-sized.
    Editable text - or am I doing something wrong? Seems after creating text that you're stuck with it. Can this be editable so the font/ size/ colour etc can be changed at a later date?
    Option to reduce the size of the navigation buttons to free up more "desktop" real estate space. I'm running this on a Galaxy Note 1 so have a stylus and can therefore have much smaller buttons, but appreciate if you're using your fiunger then by default you'd want larger buttons.
    I'll keep on adding others as I use it more and more.
    BTW, thanks Adobe - good start, keep it up.

    Thanks Luanne. I was going to add each as an idea but there doesnt seem to be an idea section specifically for the phone version og Touch, just the general PS Touch folder (which having used both has crossover but has bits that are "missing" from this version. Its greyed out in the list when searching, so with it being such a new offering though there might be a list of ideas that could be read in one go that would be easier than reading lots of different ideas and voting up and down and commenting individually.
    Will add news ones to the general touch folder ideas list though. Withought raising this as an idea, can we have a specific ideas folder for the Phone version of Touch or do we have to keep on placing it into the general touch one which might not make sense to general Touch users to vote up?
    Thanks.
    Dave.

  • What if you like an iPhone but hate outlook?

    I had purged my life of outlook. Using outlook for email is like using an immuno-compromised person to explore third-world countries.
    I used thunderbird for mail and google gmail and calendar for mobile contacts and calendar. I am willing to use iCal or whatever I just want to be able to use something other than outlook. Any idea if those of us stuck on windows will have another option other than outlook?
    The only thing I found to help so far is pairing the address book with windows address book.

    Will they sync with the iphone?
    Contacts will. Calendar, nope.

  • HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error  "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases
