I Have Lion - Ask Me Questions

Are there any changes to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts (> Services)?

Still long flat list(s) in a non resizable window?

Thanks in advance.
 
Which version of the Darwin kernel is used?

You can check it in the System Profiler under Software or on the terminal with command 'uname -a'.

I'm interested because the new MacBook Pro is running a 10.7 version of the Darwin kernel on Snow Leopard. See this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1107791/
 
Asked this elsewhere, but this is the more appropriate place:

Does iCal support different time zones for the beginning and end of an event? This is key for flights.

Here's a quote from iCal help for you:

"By default, iCal events are displayed in your computer’s current time zone (set in Date & Time preferences). You can also choose to view all your iCal events in a different time zone. You may want to change the iCal time zone if you’ll be traveling to a different time zone and want to see your events shifted to the correct time for the new location."

Is expose still present in Lion, or has Mission Control replaced it entirely?

I believe mission control has replaced it, but I think the keyboard shortcut will work for mission control. Mission Control is really just an improved expose.

Yes, MC has replaced the all windows-version of expose. The other modes work exactly as before.
 
Window Resizing

I find it awkward resizing windows with the trackpad--one thing I definitely prefer the mouse to do. Anyone else feel this way?

Lots of times I want to resize a window immediately after moving it--so my cursor is already on the title bar. I think pinch to zoom on the title bar would be a really great way to resize windows because 1) it would just be easier than clicking and dragging corners and 2) my cursor is already hovering over the title bar. Did Apple happen to think this same way and build this behavior into Lion? Does anyone else think this would be a good idea?

But if you would resize a window with a pinch gesture, it would have to resize proportionally, because you would not be able to tell the window which side you want to resize. Say you have a finder window and you want to make it tall, so short at the top and long at the sides. How would you do that with a simple pinch/unpinch?
 
Don't know you someone has already asked it, but how can I save anything I write on Text Editor. Everytime I try to save it say I have no permission!...:mad:
 
Safari 5.1 custom stylesheet

Have you tried to use custom stylesheet in Safari 5.1 on Lion? Is it true the browser does not support custom stylesheet?
 
Does Dashboard still function exactly the same? It always seemed like a half-baked feature to me. No one seems to develop Widgets anymore either, it's just a button to pull up calculator, weather and a calendar.

Seems to function exactly the same, although granted I only looked at it for 10 seconds or so. It's fairly useless but I remember it being such a big deal when Tiger came out.

Did Dashcode ever really take off? It seems no one makes new Dashboard widgets anymore.

I find it useful for quickly checking sports scores, snow reports, etc. But even the Web Clip feature I don't use that much, just because it's not very often I need to check a very specific section of a web page.
 
So how does this App resume thing work? Does Command+Q / Application Name - Quit still work? Can you turn off apps completely? Does the red button work universal now with all apps that it just closes the window and saves the application session. If quit is still there, when you open the app again, does it start a new session or open from its last? Can you disable it if you don't want your apps to open from its last session?

Can you still minimize apps and can you have more than one window open with apps? Like can I have six different Firefox or Finder windows open? Or does that conflict with the whole app resume thing?

With auto save, does it name the file for you and auto saves it to a folder? Or does it start auto saving once you manually save a file and name it? Does it allow you to name a file and save it where you want to? If you open textedit, put something in there, and then close out of it, can you not save or are you force to save and have to go back and manually delete the file?

How does scrolling work with a mouse? I have a Razer Naga and it has a scroll wheel. If it detects your using a regular mouse, does it use traditional scrolling? Or do you have to move the scroll wheel up to scroll down? If you don't have a trackpad, or a laptop, does it set its self to traditional scrolling by default?

These questions have been addressed before, but to put it succinctly quitting apps is just as before, and you can choose to not save files, obviously. You have complete control of saving.

Window behavior is unchanged.

If you use a traditional mouse, scrolling direction is normal (but the iOS scrollbars are still there.)

If I get it right, Cmd+W still just closes the window, it doesn't exit the app correct? If Cmd+Q closes the app, but saves the file, doesn't that mean you have to Cmd+W, not save, reopen the app window again, and then Cmd+Q to actually quit it?

Reason I ask is because I use textedit a lot to save temporary stuff. Like to remove formatted text and whatnot.

No. Command-Q quits and app regardless of whether you have documents open. Those documents will be there when you relaunch the app.

Thats what I kinda mean, what if I don't want those documents to be there? What if I just want a clean session. From what I read in that link, Cmd+Q closes the app just like before, but it auto saves the file. What if I don't want it to auto save? From what the link said, the only way to not have it auto save is to close the window of the app, choose not to save when the dialog box comes up, and then close the program using Cmd+Q/File - Quit.

From what it sounds like, closing an app is now a two step process. Close the window of the app first, then File - Quit / Cmd+Q.
