With a new operating system around the corner, what
new features or changes would you like to see?
Please keep this forum focused on ideas not diatribes or complaints. We all know that Snow Leopard and the pre iCloud era are history. With this in regard,
what changes would improve your daily workflow?
Here is my list:
App Stores

Optional larger font size - please!
Contacts:
>>>Have groups system wide on messages, Facetime
Facetime:
>>>FaceTime group calling
>>>easy access to messages screen sharing like ichat theatre

>>>Time machine show only changes compared to today
>>>Sound volume per application,

Notes:
Photos:
- Find Duplicate Pictures, filenames, image or both
- Purge Originals, by album, all library, or stream
- Show icons on pictures as music on iCloud
- Only local -- if it is local only to current device
- uploaded in cloud -- backed to iCloud (not real backup if account is limited)
- Synced with main Device, when it was downloaded by the main computer, and safe to delete locally
- Only on iCloud (erased locally but still in cloud)
- Make space locally if not main device (erase since it is downloadable from cloud)
- (iOS) Configure by app when giving access to library
- create Album to keep this app pictures separate (tag), keeps the mess
- so it is 2 permissions [ ]Allow library access, [ ]Keep on its own album
- plus [ ]Make anonymous when app reads library ({Clean all/Clean Geodata/Faces}
- Keep comments within the picture when looking at images that have them on any share
Uninstall:
Window Management:
>>>Snapping is not welcome for all. but should be an option
Visual Elements:
- Change colors of the Dock and Sidebars if transparency is turned off.
- Translucency settings - Low translucency and high translucency.
Siri:
Ability to give Siri feedback via an app similar to Amazon's Echo app.
Because of this feedback mechanism Alexa (Echo) has become far more accurate than Siri in only three months of use.
Health App: that syncs with health monitoring sensors and displays and charts the data in ways that can be easily exported and compared month to month or year over year.
