Is there anything as good as the Windows picture viewer for viewing a bunch of photos in a single folder? Preview sucks because I can't easily change the view settings and it doesn't (that I can tell) let me navigate between photos. I know there's some gallery app thing, but it looks like it wants me to put the photos in a library, and I don't want that, either.

I just use the built-in viewer in Finder; go inside the folder, Command-A to select all, hit the spacebar, then hit the four-pane window icon in the following window to switch to a gallery view. Should work in Lion and Snow Leopard, but I like the old pageup/pagedown arrows in Snow Leopard better, though.

So, I just noticed that a file named dl.txt is in my user directory and it has the text "OK" in it. Does anyone know what the hell put it there?

Probably an application with a lazy developer who didn't bother coding in proper paths. Dumped a log/status file in your home folder. You can delete it but it'll probably reappear when you next run that app.

On my computer running Lion at home, the new space button in Mission Control is on the left, but on the display macs where I work, the button is on the right hand side. Why is this and how do I change it?

I'd use full screen more if it didn't have that annoyingly slow animation. Is there a way to turn it off so that it full screens instantly?

The only thing I still miss about Windows, after four happy years of MacOSX, is its built-in image viewer. Preview is annoying because you have to select all the images you want to see instead of opening one and just clicking a button to go to the next image in the folder, and it's pretty drat slow in saving rotated images, making processing a whole slew of holiday pictures a chore. Xee fixes the "folder contents browsing"-part, but the rotation doesn't seem to work. Can anyone recommend me an app that combines folder contents browsing and quick lossless rotation? Edit: know there's been talk about such apps earlier on this page, but I don't think the ones mentioned support rotation (unless I missed something).

I'm perfectly happy with iPhoto taking over managing my photos for me, so I haven't been in your shoes. However there's a couple things built into OS X that might help you: For folder contents browsing, try Finder. You can Quick Look pictures by pressing the Space bar on a selected file. You can go full screen and/or view a slideshow of multiple files. Quick Look works with the arrow keys as well. For mass image processing, try Automator. You can define a workflow that can include your selected files and tell it to scale, rotate, save as, and more. You can save the workflow as a Finder action, so with a right-click, you can execute that workflow on selected files.

I was having some problems with my Lion install and thought I'd make a new partition on my drive and reinstall from scratch. I'm not having any problems with my current install, so I'd like to to expand that partition and shrink my original partition with the intention of eventually deleting it completely. Unfortunately, Disk Utility won't allow me to expand my Macintosh HD partition (the one I want to use) so that it uses the free space that I made on the drive from shrinking the Macintosh HD Old partition. Searching around online, it looks like if I want to increase the partition, I'll have to completely destroy it, or I'll need to buy iPartition and use it's boot up disk to resize it. Is there any other way to do it? I have a Time Machine backup, so destroying the partition and restoring from my backup isn't a problem, I'd just rather not have to do something that takes so long to complete.

I don't know if your situation is special or anything but I use Xee's lossless rotation feature all the time to process my photos, since it's way faster than iPhoto and Preview. I just hit command-r or command-shift-r to rotate my images and then command-s to save. What happens when you do this?

wolffenstein posted:Boot into Lion's recovery partition and try resizing from there. I've tried that it looks like Disk Utility acts identical to how it acts when I'm booted into Lion. Interestingly enough, when I decided to just erase both partitions, make a new one and restore onto the new, larger one with Time Machine, the Disk Utility from the recovery partition wouldn't allow me to do it, saying it couldn't unmount the the existing partitions.

Try deleting the last partition, formatting the existing partition, then Time Machine restore.

It's been my experience that, given the opportunity, Lion will try to carve out a recovery partition at the end of the target install partition. So if you've got Lion on "MacBook HD Old," your problem may be that your partition table actually looks like this: pre:#: TYPE NAME 0: GUID_partition_scheme 1: EFI 2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD Old 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 4: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD If you've got two recovery partitions, you can nuke the middle one and should (theoretically—I haven't tried to expand a volume backwards in a while) then be able to resize. Pop open Terminal and diskutil list to find the volume identifier, then diskutil eraseVolume JHFS+ NewVolume diskXsY, substituting the correct identifier.

doesn't OS X normally deal with reinstalls on top of existing system partitions by putting everything from the old install by putting everything in /Previous System anyway?

It rotates in the viewer itself, of course, but it stays the same in Finder and when I close Xee and re-open the image, it's still in its original position.

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion and god drat, I don't know how I ever lived in a world without Mission Control. On the flip side, Launch Pad is quite possibly the worst idea I've ever seen, and makes no sense on anything but mobile devices like iPad/iPod.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. What I ended up doing was deleting the old partition and making a new one using all of the available free space and restored using Time Machine, so essentially cloning my current setup. After poking around a bit, it looked like everything was fine, so I deleted the second partition and used Disk Utility to expand the newest partition to use up the newly available free space.

I'm just curious whether anyone with an ATI card running 10.7.1 is noticing Youtube Flash playing extremely choppy HD video when in fullscreen mode?

As somebody whose first real introduction to OSX is Lion, what does Mission Control bring to the party that didn't exist before? From what I've read, it's an evolution of Expose, which has been around for a while, right?

It doesn't feel that different to me. It lets you see the different spaces more easily but I never used them in the first place.

The application grouping is nice when you have several applications open but only a few windows in each application. What would be nice is if after 3 or so windows in an application, scrolling on it to spread them out would actually trigger per-app Expose. Now, with tons of windows they just overlap too much and it becomes impossible to get at a window at the bottom of the stack.

Frankly I'm annoyed with either of those things. I'd rather the app store just stick them in the applications folder and leave it at that.

I'm not getting the right google keywords: I want to pass my laptop onto my sister, and have her open it and see the Lion welcome screen to go through the whole setup thing. How would I got about reformatting the thing completely? Restart and hold CMD-R, and format the drive from the utility options, then... re-install how? Does that go via that new internet install thing?

I really WANT to like Launchpad, but not letting me customize the screens by removing apps I don't want seems really lame. At the same time I don't want to delete apps I don't want in Launchpad. Just because I never use fuckin, whatever, Adobe License Manager 5.0 or something, doesn't mean I should have to choose between staring at it in Launchpad or deleting it altogether.
