OSX Big Sur 11.1 reverts size of open/save windows [Annoying!]

[j4m1eb]

This is so annoying, having finally decided to upgrade to Big Sur and as a designer and Adobe CC this is incredibly frustrating and surely the basics, how on earth did this bug get through the beta?? Have installed the demo of Default Folder X as a workaround until fixed.

Thankfully, this has been fixed in 11.2 beta 2.

 

[j4m1eb]

Yay, hopefully the full release will be out before my 30 day trial of Folder X expires.

 

[ThatSandWyrm]

Thanks, this seem to have fixed it.

Didn't fix it for me. ?

Oh i was blaming Photoshop for this - but then noticed that actually print previews save window does the same. Installing beta 2 now. It was so annoying - looking forward to the fix.

How long before this is patched? It's ridiculous .

 

[iHAMIDREZA]

Ah it is Default Folder X that does the trick.
I am using that as well...

I USE LATEST VERSION OF IT, BUT MY PROBLEM HASN'T FIX...!!!

I can also confirm that it's not fixed on my MBP M1 with macOS 11.2 beta 2.

This is a disaster. What's the point in resizing it if you have to do it every time? Major PITA. This is easily one of the most annoying of the numerous Big Sur bugs. I have used approximately the same window size for all OS X versions and now I cannot on this system. How this hasn't been fixed via supplemental update I do not know, for this bug is a huge oversight. I fear that 11.2 will not fix it (conflicting reports so far) and that this will go on for months or years.

I couldn't agree more... I don't think I've ever come across a bug this frustrating before. How was it even missed in their testing? If it's not fixed for v11.2, I'm going to lose my mind!!

- Open Terminal
- Type below commands:

cd ~
find . -name ".DS_Store" -delete

This will delete all .DS_Store files that manages your individual window settings. Then, execute:

rm Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

This will reset your Finder preferences.

I can't speak regarding the resize problems, but when I upgraded from Mojave to Catalina, my Finder window positions and sizes were messed up, and toolbars were appearing out of nowhere; this fixed it. Deleting prefs and .DS_Store files usually fixes these kinds of quirks.

This worked for me. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Surely Apple are fully aware of this and it's a simple fix. Why is it taking so long to get an update out?

We will continue to see bugs like this unless we, the users, stand up and reject being the unpaid beta tester for Apple. They simply do not pay for QA staff and let you, the early adopters do the testing. Why the feck I should waste my time reporting bugs to Apple?

Ok. I'm downloading it NOW!

Me too! Here's the link to the beta, but you need to be a member of the Apple Developer Program.

It will probably be released tomorrow. Not worth the hassle of dealing with the betas.

Yes. I can officially confirm that the new 11.2 beta fixes this annoying af bug.

 

[richmond62]

Indeed it does, which is marvellous.

 

[retta283]

Ah, excellent to hear it actually does provide a fix, will update the moment the final is out.

 

[Smellmet]

I don't get why they have to push out a new MacOS every year when quality control slip-ups like this happen time and again. Why don't they just release it when it's ready FFS.

 

[Macsen]

Good it's fixed. Waiting for the final...

When's 11.2 expected to be released?

 

[tomsdiner]

Not a fix, but you click on the arrow next the field that has recent folders and then click it again, the window will open bigger.
