Finally got around to installing Lion today.
Did I miss a memo? Did Apple remove hex codes from DigitalColor Meter?
Yep, they did.
Apple doesn't really support non-GPT booting of OSX so I can't really fault them for that. It works, sure, but it's not something you should be using really.
From doing some pretty rough calculations I would say at least 10 hours or so...

i think Versions is essentially the local snapshots feature, and then when you are away from your Time Machine backup for a while it will backup these versions/snapshots when you reconnect the backup disk.

As far as OSX is concerned it's a GPT drive (that is, it's a hybrid GPT/MBR drive): just one without a recovery partition. There are lots of scenarios where someone could be running Lion on a drive without a recovery partition, and hence 'restart to Safari' would fail.
Not a big issue by any means, but one that could easily be sorted by checking for the presence of the partition.
Autosave saves every change that you make - even if the file is not "saved" yet. NB The only app which supports this so far is TextEdit.
A nice side effect of this are lightening fast app shutdowns.
Thats a bit misleading. That makes it sound like you can get a snapshot of every character or whatever you do.
I was under the impression that it saves every 15 minutes or when certain other actions are taken (like switching to a different application).
I had that delay, but if you disable "Smart Zoom" in Trackpad settings under System preferences, the delay vanishes. It seriously sucks, but thats that I guess.
I like the new way of scrolling, but in minecraft again, hot bar scrolling is inverted and that feels wrong even if you're used to inverted scrolling everywhere else. haha
Any way to turn off auto correct?
Actually I found it, its under 'Language and Text' in the 'Text' tab in sysprefs "Correct Spelling Automatically"
But it looks like you have to restart your apps for the change to take effect..
Anyways. I'm surprised by the lack of customization options in the Finder sidebar! Folders I placed there in SL can't be drag-poofed out (admittedly they can be removed via rightclick) and having devices at the bottom irks me.. I also found in General System Preferences the sidebar icon label sizes can be tweaked back to small. Dunno if its been said..
I feel like I have to do too many workarounds for a workable workflow.... haha
If the size of the finder icons affects you workflow I don't think you have a real workflow...
i just found out that if you hold option and click Finder's Go menu the home Library appears. im sure theres lots of other option click features to be found
Damn. That was worth reading to page 20. Nice one! Thank you.
Command-G doesn't work on my system (in Finder or any folder). But it's nice to have the Control-click drop-down for it. Nice feature.
I always need some kind of security on all systems. So I did in SL use TM on an with PGP (Whole disk) encrypted external FW drive. With File vault 2 is there a chance to backup on time capsule and have the backup encrypted, would be great if that would work.....
or would be an decrypted copy like in SL??
Thanks

New feature: checkboxes in My Card
On ones "My Card" in Address Book, there are check boxes that allow you to choose what and what not to share.

If you mean the sort order, then yes, the Open/Save dialogs do remember what sorting you set in the Finder.
