Big Sur - Working / Not Working Apps

[jacksam101]

Windscribe VPN is working fine for me on the Public beta.

It was already installed when I upgraded so not sure if trying to install it onto Big Sur causes issues.

In public Beta, Acrobat Reader DC has rendering issues, and additionally is not able to complete signing with certificate (its most important use case for me). At least Spanish signing app works ... I was quite worried for a few minutes.

@KibJ
Lots of information, didn't you read the list when you activated the option?

Even pieces of content/text/images.

I cannot post the screenshot because it is not in English.

Arq Backup (6.2.46) doesn't seem to be working correctly. I always get the error "Error: Failed to create APFS snapshot: Operation not permitted"

I am struggling to understand you here. Why is Dropbox mentioned? I don't use Dropbox. I was asking about the AdGuard issue.

You asked about which beta Dropbox was fixed in. Read the original post you responded to.

Oops, I just realised that.

For the umpteenth time; the App store version DOES NOT work for most people. If you have ever used Parallels Pro, or you are running your VM of BootCamp, it will NOT work. The App store version is not a solution...

It's not a complete solution but for some of us who want to simply run applications in Windows, it works just fine. I look forward to a complete solution for Desktop Pro. I have a Windows 10 VM that was created using Desktop Pro and it works with the App Store version of Parallels while Desktop Pro stalls with a message that it cannot find the Parallels driver.

True. The App Store version of Parallels works for freestanding VMs already created, but will not work with Boot Camp, or create a new VM from Boot Camp. Also, you cannot get into Settings for any VM in the App Store version. And the Parallels App from Parallels doesn't work at all in Beta 4 or in the Public Beta versions.

Knowing Parallels, they'll come up with a fix for this fairly soon, although maybe Big Sur is a Big Hurdle for them.

I just installed the public beta, but the problem with Word remains

Yeah, I think PB is the same as dev B4. I switched back to Office Production channel for now since it's no worse than Insider fast.

In Public Beta can't print from email client Thunderbird 80.0 (b1) beta. The print dialog either doesn't show up at all or shows up as a completely blank window.

No problems printing from any other applications. Have reset the printers in preferences. Still won't print. Can't go back to earlier version of TB without setting up new profile, so will do without printing from TB for now.

Wondering if anyone has tested GeForce Now?

I am using TB v 68.11.0, just tried printing an email and worked fine. The problem seems, to me, that TB 80.0 b1 is the issue, not Big Sur PB1.
Just upgraded to v 78.1.1 and prints fine. I don't even see a version 80 as being available?

Not sure if someone else had already mentioned this here but Karabiner / Karabiner-Elements do not work on Big Sur.

Tunnelblick(https://tunnelblick.net/) working absolutely fine.

Want to install this on my iMac because I love it so much on my MBP. However, can't afford to until I file taxes 10/15 because of uncertainty that TurboTax wouldn't work properly.

Pixelmator has stopped working with the latest beta. Gimp works fine.

Anyone else having usability issues with Spark (email app) 2.8.2 and the latest Big Sur beta? For example, adding labels to Gmail messages.

I've no issues with Spark other than some buggy code which shows some letters before each label in the sidebar. When swiping for an action - e.g. move to... - I need to hit the return key instead of the action happening as a result of the swipe. Other than those minor issues no other problems.

I am using the Spark beta, which you can sign up for via Readdle’s Early Access programme.

I'm not sure why Lulu is on the "does not work" list but then struck? I'll change that. Lulu is useless going forward because Apple has deprecated kernel programming per this github thread.

I assume it's going to have to be rebuilt to work properly on Big Sur, like this effort for Little Snitch.

BlueJeans(http://bluejeans.com/) v2.22.0 (2.22.0.348) working without any issues so far.

Thanks. You're probably right. Version 80 is a beta. To go back to 78.1.1 I would have to create new profile then move everything over--not sure it's worth the work. Maybe the Thunderbird beta people will find the incompatibility.

If you have an imap account through your ISP, all you have to do is maybe redo your login credentials. After that TB will download everything on your imap account back into TB. When I installed 78 over 68 I didn't have to do anything but that is different than going backwards, I think.

Turns out it is a bug in TB version 80 beta1, already reported. They say it will be fixed in next beta. Nothing to do with Big Sur--just a coincidence.

Adobe Muse works. Logitech wireless gaming mice only seem to work when the dongle is directly attached, not via a hub.

Ulysses crashes on startup for me on Public Beta 1.
