10.7 All the Little Things!

It looks like a short movie clip, not an animated gif. Smooth and not slow at all.

Yes! Good to hear :D Looks like Apple made sure to improve the speed of Safari in many different ways. I officially can't wait until Lion releases now.

Thanks for the reply mrapplegate.

If all App developers would have complied to the HIG this inconsequent behavior would not exist:

This makes perfect sense as the window resizes just as much as needed for the content displayed in the window.

D'oh, the fight for the green button is long lost anyway. Why am I wasting my time?

Yeah but look at Safari: press the green button and what happens? The window goes tiny and off-screen in the bottom left corner. And I know this isn't a bug on my system as I have been able to reproduce it on a Tiger machine as well as on another Snow Leopard machine. And I'v never seen it work in Safari! Press it again and the window becomes tall and thinner than it was originally, and you have to manually reposition and re-resize the window to get it right again.

Apple doesn't even pay attention to this, and if even they don't care, they should at least remove the button altogether as all it does it waste pixels and cause people to accidentally click it and screw up their window configuration. And that would free up some space, which would be a perfect place for the Full Screen button (if you ask me it could still be green with a + sign in it, instead of two arrows).
 
I'm not sure how new this is for Lion but I just got the MacBook Pro 2.1 EFI update in software update running Lion.

I noticed this! I thought it was a bug, I've never come across this on either Leopard or Snow Leopard, it's got to be a bug. I don't think Apple should get rid of the green button by the way, I still am in favour of them using it for full screen.

Unfortunately not. It just removes the app files, nothing more. Application Support files stay untouched...

Instead, Apple is "encouraging" dev's to keep app support data organized like it is in iOS, and they said in about 6 months after ship date it will be required that this implemented in all App Store submissions. When this is done, then Launchpad will act as the uninstaller we all hoped and dreamed for for so many years.

This was addressed in the State of the Union address at WWDC this year.
 
If you have a file that doesn't have an associated program to open it (for example .rar), pressing right mouse button on it and choosing app store takes you right to apps that will open it! even free ones! very cool.
 
ive not read the entire thread, but has anybody had any luck getting DP4 to install/upgrade using an iMac 2011 machine (12,1 or 12,2) + latest vmware?!

i have been trying for days, and there is no possible way from what i can see. ideas? :confused:

1) If you're going to ask a question, do it in the appropriate thread. This definitely isn't it. You probably chose it out of laziness since it's a sticky with lots of activity, hoping somebody would answer.

2) Write your questions better. I think you're asking about two totally different things: Installing DP4, and then installing VMWare on it once it's done. Writing "+ vmware" could also mean you're trying to install DP4 onto VMware. Again, don't be lazy...

Another thing it's built into Mac os X now, you can navigate the options pressing the tab key, also another hint, almost always there is an alert windows with options like accept or cancel if you hit enter you select accept, and if you hit the spacebar you select cancel!.

In some apps like Photoshop you can select the "Don't save" option by pressing the key D.

Bottom line, enter selects the highlighted button and spacebar selects the border highlighted one, check this example :

[maybe this has already been replied to since it was originally posted in feb and i haven't made it all the way through the thread yet... but :D ]

photoshop kinda messed people up on this..
the real way is ⌘D for don't save.. esc for cancel ..return for accept (allow,save,save as..., etc)

(but it appears for the most part, none of this will be necessary in lion with apps tapping in to versioning/autosave)

jeh, because i havent been subscribed to this thread since the 27th of feb and havent contributed my fair amount to the forums already.. you are not a moderator, you have no right to tell me what to do.

now, from replying to me like that, you have created negativity in this thread and the flow on effects wont be good. but anyway i guess you dont care about that, so i will rephrase.

i am attempting to install DP4 into a virtual machine using vmware 3.1.3 and am having no luck - if anybody has had any success doing so on an imac 12,1 or 12,2, please let me know :)

Yeah, the n00b obviously doesn't know who you are :p

I'm not positive, but doesn't VMware have to be updated to support a new OS?
 
“The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011,” the company states.
