Is there a way I can fix this or is this just something that happens with FTP clients? Maybe the file was still being downloaded on your seedbox when you started to download it to your computer? That's not an FTP 'feature'

Just found another bullshit feature removal/limitation in Lion. Previously, Spaces allowed you to bring up the interface and manage all windows on all desktops. Not in Lion! Bringing up Mission Control will not allow you to move windows from any desktop other than the active desktop. So if you're on Desktop 2 and you want to bring up Mission Control to move a window from Desktop 3 to Desktop 1, you're loving out of luck because clearly that's too "power user" for Apple. Now you have to switch to the desktop with the app you want to move, bring up Mission Control, and THEN move it. It's like 10.7 is the "add unnecessary steps to all tasks" release of Mac OS X.

I prefer the old Spaces too. There's a workaround though. Option-click a desktop (or use one of the shortcut keys) in Mission Control and it will switch desktop without closing.

You can switch between desktops by swiping with three/four fingers from within Mission Control, too.

Accipiter posted:Just found another bullshit feature removal/limitation in Lion. I never knew you could do that from Spaces. Interesting, just tried it on my work computer which still has Snow Leopard. To be fair, using my Magic Mouse I can activate mission control, two finger swipe to "Desktop 3" in mission control, then drag the window to "Desktop 2". So that's like three less steps of going back to the desktop, changing desktops, and reactivating mission control again. Accipiter posted:Thank you for beating me to the punch. This has been said before, but File -> Duplicate can basically accomplish the same thing. I know it's not EXACTLY THE SAME as everyone has done for years, but it kinda makes sense with Versions. Before with "Save As..." you were making a change, basically duplicating it as a new file, then abandoning the changes you made to the old document. Now in Lion you are telling the program you are saving it as a new document BEFORE you make the change, which could prevent accidentally saving over the original document (Which I have done countless times in the past). Now the argument to all of this would be, isn't the point of Versions to let you roll back the file if you did accidentally save over it? Edit: You could also duplicate the file in finder before you even open it too. Astro7x fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jul 28, 2011 |

Read a few pages back and didn't see anything similar... has anyone noticed their laptop running much warmer since upgrading to Lion? I have a unibody '08 Macbook (before they all went Pro) and I've heard my fan spin up more times in the past week than I think I ever have. It seems to happen most often when Time Machine is backing up or indexing -- did TM get changed in Lion?

geera posted:did TM get changed in Lion? Uh... I'm not sure how you missed the complete loving architectural changes in FileVault that came with lion but yeah there's tons of changes - in that as well as lots of other poo poo. First boot is the worst thanks to spotlight indexing, and FileVault has been completely revamped. Plus there's a lot of under-the-hood changes that affect battery life and no doubt system performance that can easily impact temperature. Welcome to a .0 release of Mac OS. Wait for 10.7.1 or 10.7.2 and things should settle down a bit.

I've got a 2009 core 2 duo white MacBook that I just installed Lion on, and I can't two-finger scroll. I think that I disabled two-finger scrolling when it was running SL, but I can't find any option to enable it, and searching online for scrolling only finds me pages of flame wars about scroll direction. Anyone have a link that could help?

Aha, that's just what I needed! Thanks, x-virge and CaptainCaveman. I was starting to think I had a hardware problem. I'd tried searching preferences for "scroll" but didn't see Universal Access, because the search results pop-up covers that preference item.

Everything I've read so far suggests that it is impossible to non-destructively resize a core storage volume (encrypted ala File Vault 2) either through Disk Utility.app or the diskutil command. Is this correct or does anyone have knowledge to the contrary?

However, after I used my recovery partition to format the drive and install a fresh copy of Lion, the problem disappeared. EDIT: Full-screen app chat: I'm loving it. I've currently got Safari, iTunes, and Reeder in full-screen. I love using the trackpad to move between "spaces." Honestly, I never once used Expose and Spaces, so their demise doesn't bother me. Lion's new features are incredible. The new Safari is solid. Once I discovered OmniBar (thanks to this thread), I uninstalled every other browser from my system.

Has anyone else with a magic trackpad AND a mouse noticed that sometimes after waking from sleep, mouse presses require two clicks to work? This happened twice now. fiddling with settings in mouse/pad preferences tends to fix it though.

I just had a "holy poo poo" moment with Sparrow. I've been running it in "Menubar Only" mode because I'm weird like that. This hides pretty much every neat feature in the updated version of Sparrow - including full-screen. Goddamn it. Now I have four apps in full-screen. Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone who is weird about Sparrow like me.

Is anyone surprised about how much like enjoy fullscreen implementation on Lion? I've always been a big proponent of carefully organized windows on one display, but I really like being able to three finger swipe between different apps/desktops. Now we just have to wait until all apps implement a full screen function.

You Am I posted:gently caress really? I didn't test what was Spaces in the 10.7 Beta, but that's sad if they have done that. Time to wait for a 3rd party plugin/addon to fix that. You can switch the space being shown in the "main area" using whichever gesture or hotkey you have assigned to switch between spaces when not in Mission Control. Optionally, you can opt-click on the desired space. From there, you can move windows/apps from one space to another without having to exit Mission Control. cmd-dragging doesn't work anymore, though... you have to click-drag the app icon to move all windows for that app at once.

I can't recommend this enough if you like full screen: http://chpwn.com/apps/maximizer.html It's a SIMBL plugin that adds full screen support to everything. As far as I can tell the full screening is completely proper too, and both looks and behaves the way you would expect.

I've got a question - I have two smb networked hard drives that I have in the startup area of my system preferences so my mac automatically mounts them. One annoyance is the fact that it also brings up a finder window for each networked drive. Is there any way to prevent the networked drives from popping up in finder and only make them mount automatically?

Trying to setup the latest Python and some Python addons for Maths academics at my workplace. I have most stuff installed, however when I run some tests to make sure Python and its addons are working, of course there are issues. The particular addon I am trying to get to work is Pyrex. I have installed Pyrex-0.9.9 on the Mac (10.6.8), and there were no errors while installing. However when I run the MacTest.py which should validate whether Pyrex has been installed, it comes up with this error: code:

japtor posted:That doesn't really change anything cause Lion Server doesn't change anything EULA wise for 10.6 afaik. Lion lets you run two instances of Lion in VMs, 10.6 Server lets you run it in a VM, but the regular 10.6 doesn't (but again that seems easy enough to work around). As long as it actually works under Lion's VM, that's what matters to me.

Has anyone tried Flip4Mac in 10.7? Their site says that Lion support is "coming soon", but I'm curious whether that's just "we're still testing stuff but the current implementation works" or "poo poo's broken son". I'd install and check myself but I'd rather see if anyone has any firsthand experience before I potentially introduce some instability.

Doctor Zero posted: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. It will when software is designed to work for it. But not all is, and its a fairly big task to get it into shape, including understanding how the serialization APIs work and retrofitting ObjC code to do it (and this all assumes your code uses ObjC for anything more than interacting with cocoa). The idea is actually loving fantastic, and I can see already my performance is much better when I have a lot of apple apps open. But most of my software isn't really lion compliant yet. 90% of my day I have eclipse open which being a java app, at this stage isn't even remotely aware of it. Firefox doesn't seem to be aware of it, and to be honest browsers re-oppening to where you leave off has got to be one of my most hated behaviors , considering how often I'm force quitting loving firefox to get it to regain sanity after horrifying ajax messes like facebook grind it into the earth. The CS programs don't seem to be aware of it either. UNTIL the majority of software can cope with it, its just a royal pain in the arse. Apple can do the smart thing and put it as a precondition to the app store to apply a bit of dynamite to developers asses to get their poo poo together, but until then, at least give us an option to permanantly uncheck reopen windows. The magical fairyworld of everything being lion compliant is not here with us yet, and until then, lion needs to allow more realistic assumptions , especially on slightly older machines.

Generally SOMETHING like patch < file.patch , in the directory where the code is should do the job. You might need something like patch -p1 or something like that to get the paths right. Read the man docs then peruse the patch file.
