So, here goes:
1. I can duplicate, even multiply objects in plan, I can do so in 3D. When oh when can I finally do it in section or elevation?
2. The only reason I am still using the age old "Internal Engine" is to see the extent and location of shadows. When oh when will ArchiCAD support shadow casting in OpenGL? It can't be OpenGL for I have a flight simulator that runs in OpenGL that casts beautiful shadows.
3. Why oh why does the import of SketchUp files only work in Windows?
4. Profiles that also apply to slabs and roofs.
5. Support of more than one processor core. Hey, this is the time of dual core processors as standard, and the Xeons now have quad core... I know, I know, this is actually a feature for I can use the other core for working on something else while ArchiCAD is puffing away in the background. Then again, perhaps I would not need to work on something else if ArchiCAD would be truly multi-threaded?

6. Perhaps some warning mechanism that prevents people from overloading Master Layouts? My students make this mistake all the time that they load their Master Layouts with images and project views instead of placing these objects in the Layouts.
7. Pressing the "Update" button in the Layout view, updates ALL VIEWS, unfortunately. But I may have switched some of the views to "Manual Update" in order to avoid coffee breaks whenever I make a change to the original design. So, perhaps two buttons (update and update all) would solve the issue. Update would only update that view(s) which is/are currently selected.
That's it, and season's greetings from the Arabian Peninsula.

I don't find this necessary, we already have too many "warning mechanisms" -- just pay attention to what you are doing.

A coffee break may still be required however.

Nothing's stopping a Mac user from buying a two- or more-button mouse. It is the 21st century now...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but GS is usually working on the next version by release time (May). Any wishes now that are granted now would not be seen until AC13.
I expect that the main features of 13 are also pretty well established, though there are often opportunities for small additions and adjustments, sometimes even in beta.

My mistake. As a Mac user I am notoriously unfamiliar with the right-click.
