***or Right click a drive in properties>>advance>>mount this drive at boot? or automount on boot

*****single window.
****compatibility with photoshop filters .8bf filters,more support
****better documentation
**better icons and UI redesign(although i just saw feature planned for gimp next version 2.6) still deserves attention of developers.
**better support for pre defined key in photoshop also can be used in gimp
key combinations(keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+alt etc)
i am huge fan of photo editing software and web design somehow...usability in some software breaks barriers of commercial and free software.

Needs Better GUI,less confusion,complicated way to handle,dont show too many devices show all devices can be configured in single window including equalizer,synthesizer,wave to configure.when i plugged in new motherboard i noticed that iam not getting the best possible output with Alsa in Hardy,not just auto detection should be there but it should give maximum sound output,avoiding noise it is feature of intel HDA to avoid noise
Intel HD Audio hardware is capable of delivering the support and sound quality for up to eight channels at 192 kHz/32-bit quality, while the AC‘97 specification can only support six channels at 48 kHz/20-bit. In addition, Intel HD Audio is architected to prevent the occasional glitches or pops that other audio solutions can have by providing dedicated system bandwidth for critical audio functions.

Using pulse audio if its going to be base default and improve its interface and completely remove unnecessary clutter,why cant i have two modes normal and advance,select in normal mode most common devices system volume,wave,mic,
linein advance should have mic boost etc
Related to idea:
#9611: Replace old sound GUI with new one with Pulse Audio features in mind

Hope developers listen.If there are plenty of Windows docking
inside single window and treating all windows inside on big window is solution.also there should be a property in "Windows" menu like
windows>>reset docks to original location,reset pallete,reset
presets for brushes etc.

***opens menus to format pendrive with
**type of format>>fat etc
**type of format quick or deep
**if possible integration with clamav for virus checking

next its not just formatting usb,external hdd.but make it easier to format even mounted partition>>not through right click but through gui.this should be root accessible only.
***also add entries to gparted for usb and external hdd
i only see mounted partitions in gparted.presently there is no way i can format usb pen drives.
*****lock system drives not to partition,mounted drives.
like /var,/,/swap etc also do warn before formatting fat and
ntfs partitions about loss of data.

*OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics.

*-OpenGL can beat directx,although i dont know technicality
of both but still.Mac uses most of OpenGL in boot,graphics etc.Directx is used by microsoft to render graphics but here is comparision
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_OpenGL_and_Direct3D
and opengl can perform to the level of directx
There was recent talk of uses OpenGL face browser,although i don't know its fate.give a full support,develop opengl based applications.

opensuse has hcl,fedora too maintains,bring some peace in Linux hardware handling,if top 5 or ten Linux distro can merge hardware database people will be glad to use any Linux distro without discomfort.talk with other distro(like opensuse,fedora,Mandriva,Pclinuxos etc) to make it single hardware database and help each other at least in making hardware compatible in all Linux distro
Of course Server hardware is different from desktop and laptop.but concentrate on Desktop/laptop first and separate desktop database with laptop hcl like opensuse is doing.

Gentoo hcl(?)
slackware hcl(?)
pclinuxos hcl(?)
sabayon hcl
foresight(?)
Arch,Ark,frugalware,dreamlinux(?),etc
simplymepis(?)
Some distro's are popular but don't maintain hcl but have forums for helping/supporting.i also thing smaller sized distro and testing distro should be able to use this database as core HCL like DSL,Puppy,knoppix,nimble x,goblinx,slax,system rescue cd,Sam Linux etc.
Initiating this will make ubuntu not only popular but Linux developers will actively contribute in other projects and work on various projects other than there distro.

Merged:
Idea #6777: Add a program to support Ubuntu HCL Database

web kit.Web Kit is an open source application framework that provides a foundation upon which to build a web browser.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webkit

A framework is a basic conceptual structure used to solve or address complex issues. This very broad definition has allowed the term to be used as a buzzword, especially in a software context.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_development
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_programming

Or SOFTWARE API like DirectX:
Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (API's) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms.
from a decade directx x travelled from pc to xbox.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX
************************
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics.
make use of opengl 3.0 the latest.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opengl
opengl is not framework for game development nor api for game development,its a library like javasomething,opengl does mainly supports multimedia based applications so the right choice is opengl,but Qt is also very promising make use of both.after making games port those games to gnome,kde etc. Hope gamers listen.

1)Cant extract files if the files are split into seperate archives like Winrar does,search for part or locate other part on disk should it prompt.
2)Improve support for various popular formats not just tar,bz
to do:RAR,Zip,7z,ACE etc
3)Also should be able to open iso images(too hard winrar does This :(
4)Extract to other place rather than directory in which file is located
5)Report errors if some archive is damaged or unfinished file in archive,corrupt?
Most future proof idea would be to include search for virus before extraction(if some antivirus is installed in system).

not with arrow keys nor with mouse.
*improve the interface,nice looking better than wmp 11 and mac os x video players there are lot of good looking applications in windows like
Powerdvd,Divx,Gom player(although its open source),vlc,real player,quick time,jet audio,zoom player etc over 100 and more importantly they all play even flv files,mkv files.even winamp plays videos
*-functionality like vlc but with better interface
*-equalizer support and plugins
*-easy support to install plugins,themes,visualilzations
There are very few players natively available to linux esp gnome.
for kde :kaffine,now dragon player ,kmplayer etc
but for gnome
buggy totem,xine age old
vlc works on all platforms but its interface isnt that good.i applaud linux for
list of audio players like amarok,exaile,song bird,banshee etc
