Mac OS X Lion Discussion


Recommended Posts

So what I noticed is Mission Control remains useful as long as you don't have more than three windows open per application.

It also starts to break down if you have 10 or more Spaces. While almost no one will ever have that many, I created 10 Spaces just for testing, and the UI is really screwed up.

The Spotlight Menu finally has Quick Look on mouse-over. (Y)

Noticed this myself, and really liking it. The icons also seem to be a bit larger, so you can be even more sure it's the file you need before clicking on it.

Can someone run and compare these tests under both Google Chrome & New Safari and share the numbers with us?

Thx guys

I'm seeing a lot of people say you have to upgrade from 10.6.6, it's not true! They have just changed how you access disk utility as there is no longer the Utilities menu in the installer.

You have to choose to quit the installer from the Install OS X menu (when you boot from the disk image) and a new menu will appear that allows you to access disk utility.

First time i installed it, I upgraded and suffered from a lot of issues. Second time was a clean install and it's so much better.

Yea, there are some very serious issues with Mission Control. :/

Making the user's Library folder hidden seems like a pretty retarded move. Let's break it down: I can't see my own preferences and support files, but I do still have regular access to the System and Library (system) folder. Yes, that makes real sense...

LOL well that made me laugh... When sending an email with Mail 5 the composed message window will fly up from screen as if it's being blasted into the sky. When replying to an email the window will drop down with an arch animation. Funny touch! (Y) :laugh:

Right now I just wish the iOS/Lion scrollbars would work in Google Chrome, it's really off-putting to see them now. :D

So, I can install Lion as a fresh partition without duplicating my SL install?

Yeah...

Oh, and LogMeIn doesn't work on Lion, I cannot remote view another Mac, plugin requires 32-bit Safari, any idea if I can launch Safari in 32-bit mode?

EDIT: Found it, but it still doesn't work. D'OH! Cannot use Logmein at all on Lion, going to need to VMWare just to Remote into iMac at home :(

I tried it out. Works beautifully. It actually makes me want to find PDFs to sign. :p

Can anyone check this for me for quicklook. If you quicklook through a folder of images, does it automatically resize to the exact image dimensions rather than the image sizing up/down to fit the quicklook window?

Huge problem with respect to scrolling in Firefox

Why is it that Launchpad still shows deleted applications in it?

Launchpad obviously isn't finished yet. We should be able to remove apps, but we can't.

It resizes the Quick Look window now, unless image is smaller than the minimum size of the Quick Look window. In that case, it just shows the image at actual pixels in the center of the Quick Look window instead of scaling it up and pixelating it like it used to.

Installed the 10.7 beta.. and still no opengl 3.0...

And does anybody's knows where to find the

Signature capture tool?

Doesn't it support OpenGL 3.2? So it should work fine with OpenGL 3.0 stuff :/
