macOS 10.12 Sierra: All The Little Things!

[blasto2236]

I'm running OSX 10.11.5 with Safari version 9.1.1 (11601.6.17) and I can't get this to work. I'm not using the beta version (maybe this is why?)

Can you please give me a test link that works for you.

Thanks

P.S. Never mind, just saw your later post:



Can someone please confirm whether you can open any link in a new tab and then press back button to close the tab and return to the original tab in Sierra or does this also only work for pinned tabs?

Thanks

It works for all links that open in a new tab.

Which part of TinkerTool allows you to change the function of the green bottom back to maximize?

..Changed in El Capitan
System Prefs > Dock > Double Click the window's title bar to ZOOM. Rather than minimise.

So, overall how is it? El Capitan runs so fluid on my 2015 Macbook Pro With Retina, I don't know how it could get much better than it already is.

So, overall how is it?

It's a the very first developer preview. It's relatively fine but you cannot count on that just yet. There might be drastic changes down the road.

Command Z in Safari will now reopen as many tabs as you want. (keep pressing it to get older closed tabs)

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but you can also hold down the new tab button and get a list of closed tabs.

Also, the edit bookmarks section is redesigned.

With all the changes to Messages in iOS10, how many have transferred to the new macOS ?

Can you add/create the same affects or just show them send from iOS10?

Hey guys, I found out a way to get Picture in Picture to work with Youtube. Use ClickToFlash to force Youtube to use the native HTML5 player and there will be a PIP button right there.

Interesting bugs that have cropped up lately: Save for Web save dialog in Photoshop CC (2014) would severely lag in text input. One character per second.

Then beach balls returned to Safari even with plugins disabled. Restart didn't fix it, but another empty of the cache did.

The good thing is that since all required is a javascript implementation, if Youtube doesn't do it, someone will definitely made an extension to allow it.

Also, I'm not running Sierra, but if you double click with the right button in a Youtube video, you'll get the system standard contextual menu (at least in El Capitan) which allow you to use full screen for example (with the native controls, not Youtube's), maybe is there an option for PiP?

Yes there is.

Can someone check if Photoshop and other Adobe CC apps are able to snap? At the moment none of the snapping apps were able to resize those windows.

I can not check, but I can almost guarantee you it won't work. Adobe draws all the UI in all their apps with Adobe Flash for cross-platform compatibility. Even if something looks like an ordinary OS X window, it's not and will never behave like one. You should check out alternatives.

Affinity Photo

(This app will probably snap.)​

Got a note from Surtees Studios (Bartender 2 for Mac) saying that they will have a fix out "in the coming weeks".

This app is no longer needed. You can now ⌘-drag and rearrange all menubar icons even from third party apps in Sierra.

Bartender isn't about re-arranging only. It's also about hiding stuff you don't want to see. For example:

Dang!

I thought I had too many.

You are absolutely correct. Bartender is much more than just re-arranging the icons.

Now, can you identify the apps?

What are the two between 1Password and Speaker/Volume?
What are the items between Carbon Copy Cloner and Time Machine and the ones between f.lix and TextExpander, and finally the one to the left of Dropbox?

Sure.

Sip and CloudApp

What are the items between Carbon Copy Cloner and Time Machine

Crashplan

and the ones between f.lix and TextExpander

Plex, Unified Remote, Keeping You Awake, BetterTouchTool

and finally the one to the left of Dropbox?

Telegram (that one slipped in there, just removed it)

Completely off topic, but what a great, and more importantly appropriate name Bartender is.

Nope, you can't create them on macOS, you can only view them sent from an iOS 10 device.

If you need a personal Bartender, you're drinking too much!

Is anyone having "deleted" spam their console? I am trouble searching for this, as "deleted" is a common word. I think it’s a process called "delete d", and like other processes, it’s a word with D at the end, not the past tense of delete.

One small thing I noticed today was that the wake-from-sleep screen has been changed. It's currently a monochrome snapshot of your desktop. Sierra presents you with the Mac boot screen instead (black background with white Apple logo).
Looks a lot better than the monochrome.

Or just right click twice on the video to get to the native context menu.

Not sure if this is new but when you're in fullscreen mode in an app and you open safari it automatically opens next to the app so you browse right there. None of the other apps support this (wish they did).

That's not true. They have their own UI abstraction layer, but but has nothing to do with Flash.

Affinity Photo is awesome btw...

Thanks for the reply.

That sounds pretty trashy of Apple. Are we going to have to wait till 10.13 or .14 to get the functionality i wonder!

 

[Janichsan]

Aren't they using Adobe AIR? This, in fact, is based on Flash.
