10.7 All the Little Things!

[DoFoT9]

Yeah, but does Lion's screen sharing pass sound to the remote machine? That's the one thing it's been lacking, especially w.r.t. Windows.

i highly doubt that it does. i will let you know in a few hours once i test it

 

[jcostaman]

and when you open apps they now "zoom" in from the middle of the screen. anybody noticed that?

I only notice that in Safari. Which, by the way, I'm not too fond of.

Can someone check if QuickTime VR is supported in Lion?

Try out these links and please respond if they display the panorama:
a) (more modern) Full spherical VR:

b) (old school) cylindrical VR:

Thanks much!

A works, but I can't figure out b.

EDIT: A actually supports iOS pinch to zoom, which is awesome!

IE coffin

This sounds like the final nail in the IE coffin, too.

Progress bar now in the print jobs window.

Progress bar now in the print jobs window.

Still no iOS/App Store style progress bars?

That looks so good. and so many questions.

So when you share a virtual remote screen does it set the dimension to that of the screen your on or the same as the remote machine would normally have?

Can you have multiple users locally as well. I wonder if you had a MacPro with multiple monitors could each monitor log in as a new user?

Oh also wonder if iPad will get the ability to log in to a remote mac.

I'd just drag it to the sidebar.


The Finder sidebar icons must be vector PDFs. They occasionally don't draw all elements of the image. Also attached is how they should appear.

I suppose that shall work for now.
Hopefully they decide to change this.
Thanks for the idea!

Buttons

I've also noticed that the buttons have become more square-ish instead of rounded. Nice, I think...

Progress bar now in the print jobs window.

That's pretty nice, I frequently print 40 page documents.

EDIT: mistake... doesn't seem to happen all of the time.

Mac App Store Downloads

Downloading an App from the Mac App Store now opens LaunchPad and shows the app downloading there instead of the dock. I tried attaching a picture but the upload kept failing. Sorry.

 

[ReiterMarkus]

Ah

Here's another one: Spaces can have different desktop backgrounds now.

That explains why I had a different background in space 3. I copied my preferences folder from the other partition and there was my background, but not in space 3.

Still no iOS/App Store style progress bars?

Only in the Dock/Launchpad. "New" Aqua everywhere else- it looks very nice.

Probably if you do a full-screen VNC session to localhost on the other monitor. Going to try this right now.

A works, but I can't figure out b.

Thanks so much for checking this out!

Sorry, my bad on "b". (When I wrote the html in 1999, I was paranoid about someone just bookmarking the page without the user seeing the whole tour.)

Can you try out this for "old-school" QuickTime VR? (It's just the movie file, without any HTML wrapper.)

Leopard and Snow Leopard have that as well.

 

[ReiterMarkus]

One more thing...

I made a partition for Lion and can see all other partitions, but when in Snow Leopard I can't see the Lion partition.

IT works, but it's in a really small window. Also no pinch to zoom support.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I can get rid of Chax now.

Thanks much, and I'm happy QTVR is back in mainstream QuickTime!

Regarding that "really small window" - would you believe that was a bandwidth buster back in 1999? I had to create all kinds of Javascript code to forward-cache "future" QuickTime files in the background, while the user was reading the text (or enjoying the VR) for the part of the tour they were looking at.

(I probably should have filed some sort of a patent on that... I could have ended up with my own island in the tropics by now...)

@Exponent - You've been a member since 2002 and have less than 100 posts? I don't think I've ever seen a ratio like that before. You should have an honorary avatar for being here that long, like >500 posts or member >5 years.

Here it is in Lion on a laptop.

Thanks for sharing!

Anyone can check for me if an Arabic interface and/or any RTL enhancement was added? From Sys. Pref. try to make the Arabic as the first language in the list, restart and then tell me if the interface got translated. I'll appreciate it!
