I started this thread to signal to the ACDSee developers and marketing team the items customers would like to see in a Pro 8 update or the next version.
The pre-Pro 8 year-old Wish List is here, it includes wishes from other users that are not in the below list.
What would you like to see in an update or the next version?
The pre-Pro 8 year-old Wish List is here, it includes wishes from other users that are not in the below list.
- Combine product specific forums “ACDSee Pro” and “ACDSee Ultimate”.
. - Modify Flickr upload to replace an existing image of the same name, and provide option to just update the online metadata.
. - For consistency and fine adjustments, add up/down buttons (like all other adjustments) to Develop Mode straightening.
. - Show the original's metadata in thr Properties pane when showing original image in View Mode.
. - When initiating the use of an external editor, copy original image to [Originals].
. - Allow EXIF 'Camera Owner Name' to be editable.
. - Add EXIF fields to 'Manage Metadata Presets'; at least 'User Comment' and ‘Camera Owner Name’.
. - Allow more Metadata to be copied from one image to another e.g. EXIF User Comment and possibly others, such as, Make, Model, Camera Owner Name, Date/Time Original and Date/Time Digitized.
. - Allow Metadata to be copied/pushed from the modified image to the original image. The goal is to save the additional and changed data, such as, date and time, user comment, GPS, and address/location, to the original image.
. - In the Metadata/copy pane, allow options to select which sections of the IPTC data the user wants to copy e.g. All IPTC, Location/address, Keywords, Creator
. - In Develop Mode’s LightEQ, allow Auto to be applied at 100% (as it is now), 80%, 60%, and 40%. Perhaps a dropdown at the side of the button to select the level.
. - Remember the last Develop Mode tool tab selected.
. - Batch apply all automatic Develop features (selectable of course) i.e. White Balance, Lighting, and Tone Curves.
. - Spot removal tool in the Develop Mode’s Repair tab. Spot repair doesn't need you to select another part of the image; it replaces the spot or dust from pixels in the area around the spot.
. - Make it less easy to clear the templates in Batch Rename, for example, remove the 'Clear Templates' button and add a 'Manage Presets...' option to the dropdown, as per the metadata presets or like the button next to the aspect ratio in Develop Mode’s Crop.
. - Auto or manual face area selection feature, or at least show face areas and names identified in other programs such as Picasa.
. - All Tabs: Improve workflow by ensuring the left and right cursor keys always cause a move between the previous and next image. Currently their function changes when an image adjustment slider has been selected. The up/down cursor keys could continue to be used for the slider adjustment. This would be consistent with the arrows at the end of each slider.
. - Allow embedding of ACDSee metadata e.g. Labels and Ratings, in files when more than one instance of ACDSee Pro is open.
. - Re-enable scroll bars in Develop Mode when zoomed in. Allow user selection of scroll bars or the new one-click Navigator window.
. - Send the original image and xmp file to the recycle bin when Process Commit Changes is selected in Manage and View Mode. This would allow the user to undo the Process Commit Changes function by simply restoring the deleted files.
. - Add some of the Edit Mode tools to the Develop Mode e.g. Dodge and Burn, Auto Levels, and Detail Brush.
. - Do not change the zoom factor in Map when clicking on the GPS indicator of different images.
. - Allow batch updating of IPTC location/address information in Map based on different coordinates of all selected images i.e. do not set them all to the same Location information data, unless that is the users option.
. - When photos are copied into the application by dragging from outside the application, and a file of the same name is already in the manage view of ACDSee Pro, and the user chooses to overwrite the file, send the replaced image, original image and sidecar file to the recycle bin. This would allow the user to undo the overwrite by simply restoring the deleted files.
. - When a photo is moved out of ACDSee Pro by dragging it from the Manage Mode to a folder directly, i.e. not via the Folders pane or "Move To Folder" function, also move the original photo and xmp sidecar file. At the moment ACDSee allows the photo to be moved, but the original photo and sidecar file are left in the [Originals] folder, which is hidden from most users.
