Abel Wingnut posted:I'm trying out the new Safari. Is there any way to select the entire URL in the URL bar with one click a la Chrome? DigitalChaos posted:Well, with Safari you reopen the app and you can see it reloading all the pages from the net. That isn't something you would see from an app that has been frozen to disk. I am pretty sure Safari has always had this behavior. I know Firefox and Chrome certainly have the option to reload your last session. That is very different from the description of app suspend though.

mik posted:I want to get a MBA; I also have two other Macs at home that need a copy of Lion. Would the EULA for the bundled/installed copy of Lion with the Air allow me to install it on my other machines (from the included thumb drive, or from the App Store), or does it actually only allow that for copies bought through the App Store? Similarly, does Lion show up as a "Purchased App" in the App Store with a new machine? withak posted:Is there a Foobar2k equivalent for Mac? Mainly I want a tree view to browse my library organized by Genre->Artist->Album or similar without having to navigate a list of things hundreds of items long or more. Something like this. Is there a way to make iTunes work like that? You can also command/shift click stuff to select multiple criteria within a list which is nice if you want to do something like listen to more than one genre, or only a few artists or albums within a list.

Before Apple bought Shake, customer feedback drove about 90% of the features we’d put into the product. But that’s not how Apple rolls – for them a high end customers are high-bandwidth in terms of the attention they require relative to the revenue they return. After the acquisition I remember sitting in a roomful of Hollywood VFX pros where Steve told everybody point-blank that we/Apple were going to focus on giving them powerful tools that were far more cost-effective than what they were accustomed to… but that the relationship between them and Apple wasn’t going to be something where they’d be driving product direction anymore.

Coughing-up Tweed posted:Anyone else using Clusters? It's a utility that compresses your files with the HFS+ compression scheme introduced in Snow Leopard. I've been using it for over a year and have saved 18 GB on a 100 GB HD that would be nearly full without it. Backups from CCC work perfectly, and I haven't had any problems at all with compatibility (though you may have to decompress a file before using it on a pre-10.6 system). timb posted:There has to be a way to do the compression from the CLI. Mrs. Badcrumble posted:Safari 5.1 is quite fast most of the time, but it seems to be hanging on one page or another MUCH more often than 5.0 did. I don't know if that has to do with ClickToFlash or what (don't think so - some of the sites where this is happening don't have any active Flash that I'm aware of), but it's *very* annoying (and often, when it hangs, it ends up reloading ALL tabs). Is anyone else experiencing similar behavior and/or has a fix for this? Speaking of which, if you feel like Safari is hogging too much memory and you want to free it without restarting (but don't have anything you just typed in the tabs), just kill that process. It's a really ghetto way of forcing a memory purge but it works. bassguitarhero posted:Having some severe issues with my computer and I need to get it fixed ASAP.

Moving all of Users (or just your user) works, but you lose some speed benefits cause there's caches and stuff in the user Library folder. If you have Steam or CrossOver they stick their crap in there too. And on that note if you happen to install a big game off Steam and you're missing a bunch of space all of a sudden, now you'll know why.
