I would have guessed you could at least have a sort of mini-preview on mouse-over. i wont be surprised if apple is still working Mission control for a few more betas, apple wont let us down.... hopefully (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/17/#findComment-593731354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshBluebird Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It's for document based applications. It doesn't create new copies of the entire document, just stores the changes. Time Machine is for your photos, audio, and other stuff.

I would have guessed you could at least have a sort of mini-preview on mouse-over. It's as static as Exposé. Any changes occurring in the windows will happen in real time in Mission Control. You can also "push" the apps open for a slightly closer look or to separate a stack of windows by two finger swiping up when you're hovering over an app. Mission Control is functionally sound in my mind. I think it just needs some polish. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/947186-mac-os-x-lion-discussion/page/17/#findComment-593731418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted February 24, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2011 They've finally updated the password screen when coming back from sleep. It's still a black screen, but it presents a proper login window, like you would normally see when booting into OS X. The changes to inertial scrolling (Safari bounces when you reach the end of a page) feels really nice and natural. Additionally, by default scrolling is inverted, but you can turn that off in System Preferences.

Xtreme $niper Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Additionally, by default scrolling is inverted, but you can turn that off in System Preferences. Oh wow, I never noticed that's how it is on the mobile devices... True. I'm definitely too used to the non-inverted scrolling method. It's kind of scary how close they are matching iOS features with Lion features now...

Simon Veteran Posted February 24, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2011 New "Internet Accounts" panel in System Preferences: Also, if you're a fan of 3-finger swiping to go back/forward in Safari, you're out of luck here. EDIT: Just realized that 3 finger swiping has changed to 2 finger swiping. It's actually kinda slick - I might do a video later.

Quillz Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 omg that "Versions" feature is a work of genius or what?!? Lion is looking more & more compelling day by day. It's nothing that Shadow Copies in Windows hasn't already been doing. Much like Spaces, I'm glad Apple has brought it to Mac OS X, but it's nothing new. (However, it does have a really nice UI.) I'm a bit confused about AirDrop, though. Is it going to replace iDisk entirely? Because it seems to do exactly the same thing as iDisk, yet has the added benefit of encryption and being easily shared with others. Frankly, having iDisk and AirDrop would seem redundant to me, especially as they both appear to be maintained by MobileMe. Also, is it just me, or are the new opaque white Quick Look windows going to clash horribly with the Dock's transparent black context menus and Stacks?

.Neo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It's nothing that Shadow Copies in Windows hasn't already been doing. Thing is, on Mac OS X people actually tend to use those features. Whereas on Windows most people don't even know it exists. Also, is it just me, or are the new opaque white Quick Look windows going to clash horribly with the Dock's transparent black context menus and Stacks? They're not opaque. Just less transparent. As it is Quick Look and the Dock Stack grid view aren't the same style.

Both points are debatable, but I'd probably agree with you. Although I do use Shadow Copies a lot on Windows, and it's an incredibly useful feature, especially when it comes to important group documents that require many revisions. Also, can someone get a pic of the contextual Dock menus and Stacks? I want to see how they look compared to Quick Look.

(Like going from day to year or from icon view to Cover Flow) Yep. It's nothing that Shadow Copies in Windows hasn't already been doing. I'd argue that Versions has a much nicer UI to handle versioning than Shadow Copy, but yes, Windows has had it for a while.
