Now that I look at it more, I can't seem to get NinjaKit to install ANY greasemonkey userscript. Clicking the "Install" link brings up what I assume (based on the japanese text) is the NinjaKit install dialog, but then after I click the install button there, it doesn't show as a script in the "scripts" pane of NinjaKit's interface.

I notice his trackpad panel has old pre-lion checkboxes... Weird.

Oh, never mind, that's what the look like.. I was looking at the other screenshot and assumed checkboxes were grey now.. but they are still blue.

It supports two-finger scrolling. It used to support pinch-zooming, but now it just wants to right-click whenever I try.

Yeah, those trackpads max out at two-finger gestures only, and I think just scrolling (they could pinch-zoom, but it was terrible in my experience).

Lion's advanced gestures are only on the new glass trackpads. You can get a Magic Trackpad, or alternately get a new Macbook. :v:

Essentially this is a front-end for git. Works pretty well on Snow Leopard and Linux, not so well for Windows, not at all for Lion (yet).

Dropbox is essentially a slick front end to SVN + rsync, so you could roll your own with a little effort.

I've used Tower as a git front-end on a job site. Would this be the same thing? I would like it to be pretty transparent in general, but I'm also not a coder so I don't think I could write my own, if that's what you mean. Looking into this though, thank you.

Well, I hit my first big software incompatibility with Lion. Office Communicator 2011 crashes when you try to send an IM. :(

Are there any alternative communicator clients for the Mac?

Downgrading to build 13.0 will fix this for now - builds 13.1 and 13.1.1 will both crash when sending or receiving an IM.

They made Safari a special case that requires two-finger navigation instead of three, and made every other app break when two-finger navigation is enabled.

It also works in Preview and iCal (though the iCal animation works differently). There's a new API.

So if you want apps that don't support Lion full screen yet to work with Lion, chpwn has come up with a hack.

http://chpwn.com/apps/maximizer.html

I tried it, it works with some of my Cocoa apps, but not all of them behave correctly.

Twitter is hilarious in full screen.

The Finder just goes nuts in full screen.

On a bonus, Firefox, TextMate and Transmit all worked fine.

As well as Adobe Lightroom as long as I put it in a window before I launch it and don't use Lightroom's built in full screen mode.

So I couldn't create the Lion disc because my system removed the installer after it installed. I put in my SL DVD and held down C, got to the bootup, ran disk utility, and erased/reformatted my drive.

Is it possible it's not formatted with GUID partition table?

Edit: Also if you are wanting to reinstall SL , you might have to go into disk utility and remove Lion's recovery partition. Or if you want to install Lion fresh, just boot from the recovery partition and do an install.

Why is Time Machine an anal retentive bitch now?

Before, I would backup about once a day (or every two days depending on file changes) to an external hard drive. This worked fine, and I would only get the ( ! ) up top when it was longer than a week from the last backup. I liked this because it was a good reminder.

Now I get the ( ! ) after like 30mins - 1hr after removing the external HD. Why? Is this behavior I can change? Or is this a new Lion 'feature'?

The new Macbook Airs have a dedicated Launchpad key in place of the old Dashboard key. Is there any way to re-map the Dashboard key to Launchpad on the (slightly) older bluetooth keyboards? I'm using a Magic Mouse so I only have a gesture to activate Mission Control, but I'd like some sort of easy access to Launchpad as well rather than having to move the mouse cursor and click the icon (which defeats the idea of a quick application launcher).

This was announced at WWDC but it's public now: OpenSSL libraries are officially deprecated. You can check it yourself (otool -L /usr/bin/ssh) and see that it links against the new /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework instead of libssl.

I think the main reason was the constant ABI breakage in openssl updates, but still, kinda weird to be using ssh on a Unix system that doesn't use OpenSSL.

Pretty sure you have to manually wipe it if you have Lion installed - the installer won't let you downgrade. Or I couldn't figure out how to, anyway.

My non-techy girlfriend was the right person to consult about this - she clicked go back, went back to the beginning, and started over, and it worked.

Doctor Zero posted:

Really? :rolleyes:

The point is that it became less useful to do that FIRST because if I just reinstall SL, I can leave it up and running and downloading Lion, rather than redownloading Lion and then making an install disc then reinstalling it. If it were already on my computer, it would make sense to do that. Since it's not, it's now moot.

Still, only implementing it in three of their own apps doesn't really encourage user adoption of two-finger navigation. At the very least they could have made it so that three-finger swipes still work in apps that don't support the new API yet.

I have the same machine but a little older - 2.4ghz, 7600GT and my Lion experience has been quite good. No issues whatsoever, apart from my XBMC on my AppleTV doesn't work with the new samba in Lion. :)

My co-worker upgraded to Lion the other day, and it froze during the upgrade. When he got it going again, all of his mail was gone. He apparently got in touch with Fruit and they put remote desktop on his late 2010 iMac and helped him recover everything off of his servers, but the past five years of emails is gone. These include important emails from good friends etc.

Luckily he has a time machine backup. My question is: how does he restore the old emails from the Time Machine, and after that, where are they located so he can back them up on a DVD?

For what it's worth, the Japanese says "You should only install scripts from sources you trust."

Also, I have the same issue, but it looks like the script that I attempted did actually install correctly even though it doesn't appear in the list of scripts. It's a bit odd. Have you checked to see if the script is working?

The timg script is not working for me. Did you paste it in from "add script" or did you do something else?

The new Lion feature is local TM backups when the external drive is absent. I think the exclamation mark appears when TM has created a local backup but hasn't gotten the chance to move it to the external drive.
