New in DP4

[xgman]

I might be stubborn, but has anyone of you found a way to simply REMOVE from launchpad unwanted applications, but still have them in the app folder?

I don't want to DELETE permanently, but simply remove them...

Hope someone is luckier than me.
Thanks!

Yes it should be way more straight forward, but, you click with a 2 key hold down combination and then remove the icons (not the apps)

In order to delete items from Launchpad you must hold the following keys and click. The keys are Control, Option(alt), and Command.
Finally those pesky apps you hate are gone. How do you get them back to Launchpad you ask? Simply find the app and drag it on the launchpad icon.

Cheers.

Thanks for the tip, but this doesn't work anylonger on DP3 and DP4... I tried any possible key combination, but to no avail... remove is not possible ... only delete.
Hope they will restore this functionality in the final Lion version.
Thanks anyway.

Can someone please check which versions of python and php are bundled with dp4? In Terminal:

php -v && python -V

One of the most remarkable yet nearly invisible improvement in Lion is the new function that lets you find and use the accented letters simply by keeping pressed the letter you want accented: it's a huge time saver for all those that (like me) need them a lot!
Beautiful!

But how does this work with repeating a key? Say I want to hold the "a" so it keeps adding the letter "a", as usual.

When would you ever need to do this? The accented letters would be far more useful, in my opinion.

Thanks! They're making progress...

When typing FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!! ?

When you're typing "aardvark" for example

Can someone let me know if this is fixed/added back yet:

In SL, I can 4-finger down to activate Expose. Then I can either 4-finger up or 4-finger down to deactivate it. In DP1, you could only go the opposite direction to deactivate. This annoyed me because I always do the same direction to deactivate (4-finger down for expose, 4-down to close it. 4-finger up for desktop, 4-finger up to close it.)

It's Fixed but only for Mission Control, All App windows exposé you still have to do the opposite gesture to deactivate

It's ulta annoying for System Preference to resume in the same panel. Why why why would they think just because I wanted to change some trackpad settings that the next time I open System Preferences that I want to do that again. I just disabled it all together.

That doesn't happen here

I open System Preferences, click in a preference panel, close the window, open again and its not resumed

Do you really hold down "a" to enter two characters?

Try just pressing it twice, it's far easier

 

[markrox7]

do the retro games still play in terminal? Like tetris for example?

Lion now has the safe download ( Malware) list in Security -> General Preferences.

But is it working? I mean, when I type in terminal "/usr/libexec/XProtectUpdater" it shows a message saying "Unexpected status code: 404".

And when I type "cat /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist" it says "No such file or directory".

Weird.

Guess it's not working for Lion yet. Or it works differently from SL?

Oh true. I actually do press it twice...I didn't even know it until I saw this post . But ya, now that I think about it I don't hold down any letters unless I'm IMing someone and trying to be obnoxious.

Is it possible to create an iCloud account in DP4, including a new @me address?

Yes it is, if you download the iCloud bundle from the dev center.
