Quicktime

i don't know if anyone posted this. in quicktime if you click hold-click the scrollbar in quicktime, it expands. (in Frames i think)

Basically it zooms in onto a portion of the timeline for precision scrubbing? That's amazing!

Someone please answer this question:

Are there any bugs in Spaces and Mission Control when using Adobe Flash CS5 or Adobe Photoshop CS5? In Snow Leopard, Exposé and Spaces caused horrible and extreme bugs with these applications.

Sorry for the huge letters, but I have asked this about 10 times already and no one has answered.

In finder, if you choose Icon view then set the arrange by: kind (or anything except name) there's a mini coverflow

Might help if you describe the bugs. I have Photoshop installed in DP4 Update 1 right now.
How Can I reproduce these bugs?

I think there is a bug with FileVault and it's associated login. If you have FV on and you turn on the computer it will ask you your password. But no matter what setting you have for your keyboard layout, the login prompt uses US keyboard. Took me quite a while to figure out why it didn't accept my password… Anyone else noticed this on DP4 upd 1?

 

[Heilage]

The lack of configurability is quite extreme in Lion. You can't choose any of the gestures, or hardly any keyboard shortcuts. It's all the way Steve wants it to be...

Annoying.

Basically, in Snow Leopard, when you have Photoshop open with various palettes, and you do a simple Show Desktop or Exposé, some of the palettes stay where they are (sometimes). Try this with the Application Frame on and off (Window > Application Frame). Also, when opening Photoshop in one space, then causing a progress dialog to appear (one that says "Reading Photoshop Format" with a progress bar, for example), and then - once the document is open - switching to another space, causes all future progress dialogs to still appear in the first space, yanking you back to that space each time.

Try moving Photoshop around from one space to another, and having multiple open documents. Try moving one document to one space, and another to another.

In Flash CS5, doing a Show Desktop doesn't always work: the whole app just stays where it is, but becomes unresponsive afterwards, requiring you to click outside the app (which is hard since you can't show the desktop) and click back inside again. Also, while doing an Exposé, some grey rectangles show up, presumably the "backgrounds" of the palettes, and behave like separate windows. When moving Flash from one space to the other, only some of the window gets moved, and parts of it get left behind in the old space. Flash is way more buggy than Photoshop, though.

Thanks for your help!

sorry, had to re-image the Mac. Will try to look at it next week.

Noticed that from day one with DP1. I don't find it very useful to be honest. It's disturbing.
A related change: when you do a 2-finger scroll one the QTP window while playing a movie, a slider replaces the controls and shows the current playback speed.

Remember the "cut and paste" replacement in the Finder? Copy, then Command Option V for "Move here."

Just found a similar option for merging. Copy, then Command Option Shift V. The Edit menu calls it "Paste Item Exactly." Pastes (doesn't move) but alerts you of a folder of the same name and gives you the option to "Keep both" which will merge unique items. Not quite as simple or elegant as I'd expect, but it's at least there.

You can no browse search results in column view.
I don't think it has been mentioned before.

Apologies if this has been said in the previous 43 pages, but I am too excited to not post it - iCal FINALLY lets you make text bigger using ⌘+

One of those annoying things Apple waited to fix till Steve felt like it

I just missed a birthday because I forgot that some moron didn't think people would like an alert option in iCal to remind them about the birthday.

Has the issue of birthdays in Address Book to iCal events been fixed? I see no reason to needlessly and manually make another calendar so I can set up birthday alerts.

Thank you to whoever can answer this. It blows my mind that this is still an issue.

The Address Book thing never worked for me. Why not just make a new event that repeats yearly, with an alert?

I know it's annoying that you can't easily do this though, I'd love a way to quickly type in 20 birthday dates and have the software take care of the alerts...

Any improvement in random external HD access? I get this all the time, and it's blocking everything for 10 seconds whilst the HD spins up. Someone please submit that as a bug.

Awesome!

Great news (I can't believe nobody's mentioned this already) but Safari now makes the Sessions extension redundant as it remembers the last open Tab(s).... but not only that, but their H I S T O R Y !!

yesss, at last!

Funny how Apple come late to the show and make you think they're great.

Lion does that too? That's damn annoying, I have that on Snow Leopard as well. My external spins up for things such as selecting text in Safari, scrolling, clicking an icon, or even going into the menu. There's nothing on that HD apart from video files, there's no explanation as to why it need to spin the drive up at all...

I just noticed a cool new feature in Mail, or rather, I should say a system-wide feature.

I had an email confirming a shipment I made with Amazon. In addition to detecting phone numbers and dates, it seems Lion has system-wide recognition for shipment tracking numbers as part of its smart “data detection” mechanisms. When I clicked it, Quicklook opened a mini Safari window with UPS’s package tracking website automatically opened.

Very cool stuff.

I think that has been there since Snow Leopard, if not Leopard.

I hadn’t noticed this before in Snow Leopard. I googled it, and the only result for “data detector” and “track shipment” was a new feature that came into iOS 4. I didn’t see anything about Macs having this capability too, and since SL came out in 2009 before iOS 4, it’s possible it didn’t have it.
