Where would be the best place for a feature request at Adobe? Do you have a link?

Thanks for the answers.
But still hard to believe that all the rest in Lightroom is so great and at this point should be no room/possibility for improvement.
Maybe Matt has an idea.

(Sorry for my late response).

Thanks for the tips, but this is still not a solution.
In my option the devide of the sections is not very good.

- The image info pane is very small, but there is no need to change it very often, or not at all.
- The very last pane is only containing the FTP-Server settings. I never use it because I always export first to my HDD, and upload it via fileZilla.

But maybe many people have many different meanings what is important.
So real solutions wwould only be:

1.) More possible sections and user specific names. Adobe is a smart company and I'm sure TTG has a good connection to Adobe. So why should it not be possible to make this available in the next update.

2.) A user specific CONFIG file, which allows everybody to move the different items into the panes he likes.
In this file it should also be possible to just deactivate the elements someone never uses or never changes any more.
I have already checked the files of the LrWebengine folder, but I guess all those informations are stored in the
gallerInfo.lrweb and the manifest.lrweb. But unfortunately it is not possible to edit them.
Also I could not find any information about this format in the internet.

I hope solution 1 or 2 is possible?
Many thanks in advance, Manfred

Dear TTG Team,
first of all I have to say that I love Lighroom because of its great usability and also the possibility to use great web plugins like yours.
But sorry to say that, when we are talking about usability, the panes of the CE4 gallery are a different storry, the are not really good, more a mass.
I'm using the plugin a lot, exporting a lot of galleries to my website.
I have set all the needed designoptions according my needs once and do not change it very often.

The only points I have to change for every gallery are the Title and the Content/Description.
The title input field is in the pane SITE INFO, the content input field is in the pane COLOR PALETTE.
So I need to open these two panes which have together a hight of more the 17000 pixels.
So it is a horrible scroling every time I have to do this.

I my opinion the panes should be devided into ones you need all the time (title, content, ..) and others which you only need when you change basic design setting.
Please let me know if you can understand my usability problem.
Thanks in advance.
