I have this Samba problem too (I'm using a Solaris machine to serve shares as well). If you mount your share on a Lion machine and Finder doesn't work, try browsing /Volumes/sharename/ in Terminal. The mounting operation works flawlessly, it's just that Finder isn't working correctly. Also, I'm pretty sure that mount_smbfs is still just a BSD-derived version. The Samba changes are on the serving side where they've removed Samba 3.x and replaced it with 'SMBX'. I'm hoping 10.7.3 comes out soon (if 10.7.2 is just "Features").

Thanks guys. mount_smbfs worked so I'm not sure what finder's problem is.

You can just use the Finder "Connect to Server..." dialog and the shares will work, you don't have to manually run mount_smbfs, just in case that wasn't clear. You can still use the open command to run things from the Terminal (like open /Volumes/share/file.docx). Anyone have any info on how to use nfs4 in Lion? I'd prefer to use it, but mount_nfs keeps using version 3 despite using the appropriate flags. Does Lion even have idmapping support? I'm not seeing it in the 10.7 source.

So: natural scrolling. One of the things folks have talked about is the fact that if you turn off natural scrolling, it fucks up the natural-ness of the side scrolling. I.E. if you make it so that scrolling down on your trackpad causes the page to move down, scrolling to the right on the trackpad makes the page move to the left. Does anyone know of a way - from Terminal if needs be - to make it so that you can (in effect) turn off natural scrolling for vertical but keep it for horizontal?

I've tried a lot of fixes but I'm still having Spotlight issues. Could it because I replaced my superdrive with an SSD (the OS drive) ? I actually get Applications, which is the main thing I use Spotlight for, but I don't really get results for anything else-- just a few random user files and a ton of PDF Documents. Hm!

unruly posted:Windows 7, 2008 (and Vista?) all try and talk on SMB2, but will default back to 1 -- Samba clients used to only talk SMB1. I think since 3.x (and GPLv3) Samba talks SMB2 by default. My bone-stock XP shares have been working fine with Lion, so I'd assume XP does as well.

I'm not at my mac right now, but something baffled me yesterday when I was working on a file in TextEdit. I instinctively saved my work as untitled.txt just so I wouldn't lose anything. After that it wouldn't let me "save as", only save a version and "save". So effectively untilited.txt was the name until I changed it in finder. Is this the intended beaviour? No more "save as" once you give the file an initial name?

Part of the new autosave feature. This is how TextEdit, Preview, and now iWork behave. Expect most well supported apps to be updated to work this way.

Sorry I didn't read all 40 pages of this thread, but is there a workaround/fix for the fact that I can't list the contents of a Windows CIFS share in Finder.app after mounting it, but I can from the command line? It gives me a permissions denied error in Finder only. edit: gently caress, I guess it's even on this page of the thread. I'm still asking, though! edit2: alo posted:You can just use the Finder "Connect to Server..." dialog and the shares will work, you don't have to manually run mount_smbfs, just in case that wasn't clear.

I'm looking for some sort of software that will compare two similar folders with complicated file structures to see what the difference is in the files contained in them. My situation is that I have a LOT(27 TB) of data on external drives that needs to be compared against the most current project folders on other drives to see if I can delete the data off the external drives. I have so much data that I absolutely must have this process automated else I'll be going through folders for the next year. I've already tried Chronosync(can't do it) and other duplicate file finding programs but I'm more interested in comparing an entire folder instead of each separate file.

This is trippy: I just opened up TextEdit for the first time in Lion, and it brought up the last unsaved document I was working on pre-Lion, with an Untitled title bar. If I try to close it, it says my changes will be lost. Where did it even get that doc from???

Lazyhound posted:You'll likely need to write a shell script. Can you elaborate on your exact desired workflow? I'm using DiskTracker to go through 25 G-Safe drives to find all instances of a certain "project" or folder structure. I will then declare the latest and most elaborate version of that "project" as the "master project". I'd like to then match all of the similar duplicate folder structures against the "master project" to see if I'm safe to delete older versions of that structure. I happened upon an application called Compare Folders that does this exactly but it seems to be glitchy. If you check out this screenshot you'll see that what it's saying are unique files on each drive aren't unique. So I'm looking for a program that's a lot like this one except that it should... work. http://mustwecreate.com/mike/misc/compare_folders.png edit: I should say that I would like the software to ignore the folder structure and only look at the actual files to see if they're the same.

The more I think about Duplicate replacing Save As, the more it makes sense to me. If you think about it from the perspective of a new user, if they have a document open and they want to save a new, identical copy of that document, they're going to be thinking something like "Okay, now I need to duplicate this document". It does suck that it requires one more step than Save As does, but it just seems more logical. And I think Export covers most of the functionality that Save As had -- I actually always thought it was kind of awkward to have both commands in an app. In Pixelmator, for example, I can use Save As to save my image as a PNG, or I can use Export to do the same thing. The only real difference is that the latter has more options -- I say just get rid of Save As and roll the rest of its functionality into Export. My main gripe is that there's no keyboard shortcut for Duplicate, and no standard shortcut for Export. It'd be really nice if Command + D and Command + E became standard for those. The obvious problem there is that lots of apps use those shortcuts already, but I think it would have worked fine to have developers shift around their shortcuts as they updated their apps for Lion.

I don't have an opinion on duplicate, but a few months before Lion came out, I was talking with someone about what an awkward phrase and function "save as" was. If you didn't know anything about it, the words "save as" don't really tell you what it will do in plain english. It felt like a holdover from the 90s.

Does keynote allow me to make interactive slides for a training app I'm putting together for work? I know I can use animations in powerpoint but it just seems clunky as hell. Essentially, I just need keynote to play a short video, display a question and then advance when the user answers correctly. Would also be nice if I could publish to the web or least have it available as a download that doesn't require anything special on the user's machine.

Anyone having problems installing fonts in Lion? I can install this font (http://www.dafont.com/ferro-rosso.font) in snow leopard fine but under lion I get 'name' structure table not valid or something.

I found myself getting used to natural scrolling on my iMac running Lion at home. However my work MBP has Snow Leopard and I hated switching back and forth between the different scrolling directions. For anyone in a similar situation, I found a solution: Scroll Reverser It will basically let you reverse the scrolling in Snow Leopard to match the "natural scrolling" of Lion if you enjoy it. Apparently the developer also offers an AHK download for Windows as well.

Out of curiosity, if you disable versioning, do you get Save and Save as… back? Or do you still have to do the duplicate/export song and dance if you want to save something with a different name or whatever?
