That hidden by default now.

You can still access it by using the Finder's go menu and holding down Option until you see Library pop up in that menu.

Mision Control and Deleting

I have issues when using Mission Control, Apps don't stay where their put, they all reopen/resume on Desktop 1 regardless of which Desktop i dragged them to.

Also if a drive is currently in use, unable to delete files from it. (e.g using Disk Utility to erase free space on an external HD, user can't delete anything from it)
 
Overview about opened Windows such as safari

Hey I'm missing one function that shows you all opened windows just from one application. In Snow Leopard, when i clicked with my left mouse button for 1 second on one application, then all windows were shown. Now the same happen like i click with the right mouse button
 
You already can, just drag it off and poof...it's gone.

When I wrote that in Februaury you couldn't.

That hidden by default now.

If you want to permanently make it visible, type in terminal:


chflags nohidden /Users/[username]/Library/

I believe there is an option in the System Prefs > Mission Control where you can check if you want the desktops arranged by when they were last opened. IE. I believe it always goes to desktop 1 because it's the most recently opened, you can uncheck this if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe I'm making this up, but I'm sure people found evidence of Apple implementing iOS style push notifications in Lion in the early betas.

Is this true, if so what happened to it?

According to Apple's website, it's a feature in the final release. Haven't found any evidence for it yet...

Boot question.

Does anyone know if Lion now boots the 64 bit kernel by default?

My MBP 5,1 is capable of booting the 64 bit kernel in SL (holding down 6 and 4 during boot) but boots the 32 bit kernel by default. :rolleyes:

Has Lion changed this by any chance?

hey thanks for responding.
I don't have this gestures pad. therefore i can't see the preferences for the gesture pad. is there another possibility to activate this function?

i believe in the mission control there is a Hot Corners option which you can assign this function (i think it is called Apps Windows or something sorry i dont have my MAC with me right now) there is the options where you assign keyboard commands as well but it may be inside Keyboard if not in mission control System Prefs.

Apologies for the stupid question, but what benefit does push notifications bring

I thought the idea for them on iOS was because apps didnt actually run in the background so this filled the gap

as apps on OS X run in the background they can provide notifications like they always have

confused :confused:

Thank you. I found it. But there is still one feature left. When I click for about 1 second on safari, snow leopard showed me all opened windows of safari. is this function still available?

In my view, they would help out when using Apps in full screen mode, since you can't see your dock, you can't see badges etc, and you won't see a icon on your menu bar unless you flash over it for it to drop down. If you were to get a push notification you'd know that you have something new to deal with. Just my thoughts.
