El Jackalope posted:My co-worker is thinking of going back to Snow Leopard because some of the programs he needs to use are unfortunately older Rosetta based apps which won't run on Lion. I've heard of Lion Server being able to run VMs of 10.7, but I was wondering if it could run 10.6 in a VM environment so he can use older Rosetta apps? If so, how does one go about installing and running a 10.6 VM?  (that's the only 10.6 that's actually licensed to run in a VM...not that it's officially sold from them anymore afaik). People have been doing it with the client version for a while, this is old as hell but it might work. Follow the source link and look in the long comment thread, looks like people have successfully done it with more recent versions but I didn't check for details.

lelandjs posted:Make changes to the file, hit duplicate, then save the duplicate to the desktop. If you want to keep the original the way it is, Preview (and other apps) allow for that—it even pops up a dialog asking you what you want to do with the original when you duplicate it. Not that you need to worry about that, because even if you do accidentally save modifications to the original you can always pop open versions and revert it. Yeah no, none of this is correct. If you make changes to the file and hit duplicate, you end up with a copy of the non-edited version. You have to edit the actual duplicate an then save it out, and god help you if you decide you want to save over the original file. And there is no dialog box asking what I want to do with the original when I Duplicate. It just does it. And when I close all documents and exit Preview, the next time I open Preview by opening the edited document, ALL of them open. This system is not intuitive at all. Maybe it needs some tweaking to make more sense, but its current implementation is crap. Even having a "Save As..." option would make everything all better.

Wheres the option to turn off this loving silly "reopen your windows when you log back in" thing? I found lots of people bitching about it during the beta but no answers  I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here. Its enough of an anti-feature , and I cant remember doing it before that I'm guessing I turned on a "feature" thats doing this somewhere.

Disable (or enable) Resume by holding down the Option-key while you quit If you hit the Option-modifier when you quit a program (ie. Command-Option-Q or using the menu), it'll not use Resume for that specific session. Conversely you can turn Resume off globally in the Preferences and only have it enabled whenever you Option quit out of a program. I've got it turned off by default. You can also use this method if you need even more control (I prefer the first method): quote:Disable Resume for single apps

mllaneza posted:Yeah, pretty much. I bet there was a senior UX designer who has always been annoyed at Save As... Either you're duplicating it and changing the file name, which should be done in the Finder, or you're changing file format, which is technically an Export. I hate purists sometimes, but this is ok. Save As... is most commonly used for versioning, which is now built in to 10.7 apps, so it's redundant. Really? So I should be closing the doc that I'm working on, going to Finder, finding my doc, copying the file, changing the name, going back into the document again and keep working? All instead of hitting Save as... when I'm right loving there already?  unix guys.

Thank you for beating me to the punch. Sometimes you just want to make one edit to a file and save it separate from the original. This is not some crazy unheard of bird-brained operation. And this is just talking about Preview. What about other applications that lack both "Save As..." AND "Export..."? Like say, TextEdit for example. Here's a perfect example. Open TextEdit, create a simple document, and "Save..." it to the desktop. Now make a minor change to the file, and find a way to save it in the exact same format as a completely separate document with a separate filename. YOU CAN'T DO IT.

Martytoof posted:Is there no way to permanently delete an iOS app in iTunes? I bought some crappy apps that I never plan to use again, but every time I delete them iTunes seems to pop them back into the "Available iTunes Downloads" section. Sorry, sorry, I was on my iPlod Douche while posting and couldn't edit my post. Select the app, hold down Command-Option-Delete, and you will get this:  Select Move to Trash and that should permanently kill it from iTunes. Oh, and don't forget to empty the Trash just for good measure.

wdarkk posted:Pretty sure the File->Duplicate menu item will do it in TextEdit. "Duplicate" gives you two options: 1) Don't make any changes to the document, hit "Duplicate" and end up with two documents open - the original, and the new unsaved version. 2) Make your changes to the document, hit "Duplicate", receive a prompt asking what you want to do with the changes you've made. Choosing to continue will maintain the changes through to the new document, and you end up with two documents open. Choosing "Duplicate and Revert" changes the original back to how it was at the last save and carries the changes only to the duplicated version, and you end up with two documents open. I reiterate: you can no longer simply open a document, make an edit, and save it as a different filename without going through the above ridiculous monkey business.

The whole "no saving" thing seems to work a lot better in apps that don't make you deal with files at all. For instance, I kind of like the iPhoto way, where you click Duplicate on a photo, then make any changes to the duplicate version, and can rename it how you wish and move it around (within iPhoto).

I use the colored file labels quite a bit and I'm having this box randomly come up sometimes when I apply a color label to files. It's not every time, and it doesn't appear to make any difference where the file is located or what type of file, or the permissions on the file, it's just random. I'm not sure the reason for it, since even if I click cancel the file still gets the colored label on it.  Also is there a way to stop apps from closing when they have no active windows? Preview and textedit keep closing and it's annoying me.

Did you disable indicator lights? That's probably why they're closing when there's no active windows.

I love lion, but theres some god drat mystifying defaults in this thing. I wonder if theres something under the hood to disable this godawful thing altogether. There really are not any situations i can think of where you'd need to hard boot and want to resume all 900+ adhd opened programs. Especially so when a huge of the people out there wont have little blue dots under their programs to even tell them they are opened. Some folks are just going to have their computers slowing the gently caress down for no obvious reason, reboot to reclaim the machine and then it just slows down.

I like it because I may have a ton of poo poo open and an upgrade pops up and wants to reboot, and I don't have to worry about losing my place on what I was doing. Also Lion will claim the memory back just like iOS devices do once programs start getting updated to support it. And why does everyone say the dots aren't under running programs in finder, my machine has them.
