Those rounded corners are loving wretched Also, props to KDE Plasma. It'll take stable Wayland support on Nvidia for me to entirely switch to Linux across the board, but in terms of the quality of its desktop environment I have no qualms, I find it nicer to use than Win10.

Mister Facetious posted:Thank God, Windows XP is back In some ways Windows XP had the best user interface of any Windows, but Luna wasn't one of those ways. On my retro rig I turn that poo poo off and use the Classic theme. In fact, I'd like to have a proper high-DPI version of Windows Classic, they had the right balance of flat and skeuomorphic design 25 years ago.

Yeah WSL2 and the new terminal give you the best of both worlds. A functional desktop environment and the ability to drop into a shell when you need to without having to install a bunch of half-implemented windows ports of command line tools or, god forbid, something as hellish as cygwin. Integration with vscode is also pretty super.

I suppose I'll ask this here since you guys know more about it than me but I work in graphics and some shops use Windows. So what the gently caress is up with that OS constantly telling me I can't save something I've worked on because It's "in use"? I'll open up an InDesign layout, make an edit, close it and tell to to save but it says "no" and makes me re-write it under a different name, which fucks up my job folders. I don't have anything else open. I'll quit every other app that's running and I still can't: Open flle>edit file>close file>save file Doesn't happen to me on a MAC but happens a LOT on a PC/Windows. Perhaps I am an idiot.

BiggerBoat posted:I suppose I'll ask this here since you guys know more about it than me but What type of volume are you saving it to (hard disk, network share, ???) and/or are you using any antivirus software that isn’t Defender? InDesign works on files with hidden attributes in the background and some processes get really grabby with those. It’s almost always because something is preventing a hidden/temp file from being swapped in or overwriting the old file. Sophis is particularly bad about this kind of stuff.

kefkafloyd posted:What type of volume are you saving it to (hard disk, network share, ???) Both, and it never seems to matter. Usually over a network onto a server though. It's not just InDesign. It's Acrobat, Photoshop, MS Word, Illustrator and it's in any shop I've worked in that uses PC's. Not sure about the virus software but the only times I've run into it were in the environments I described. Seriously, it was: OPEN>EDIT>CLOSE>SAVE "File is in use/can't save" So I'd have to constantly rename poo poo and then get confused which one was the working file.

Something is holding a handle on the file. Sysinternals Process Explorer has a "Find handle…" under "Find…" that you can paste a path into and it lists all the processes holding your file hostage. That's how you can find the culprit.

It may be getting too far into the weeds for you, but MS have a program which you can download, Process Explorer, that will show you which applications and processes have which files open. Odd though, because you'd usually only get that kind of error if something else was trying to write to the file.

Indexers typically don't request the kind of lock on a file that would prevent you from writing to it.
