Guest Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Here's how you activate Versions: Here's the actual thing (no Time Machine required!): Is that a new Finder UI? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroXP Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It saves the file without you having to save it (plus it's local and doesn't require a second HD). Oh, that's great. Now, will Time Machine and Versions coexist together? Doesn't Versions 'do more' than Time Machine? (new to Mac) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Oh, that's great. Now, will Time Machine and Versions coexist together? Doesn't Versions 'do more' than Time Machine? (new to Mac) My guess is that Versions won't keep files that have been deleted. It also doesn't do full system backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Oh, that's great. Now, will Time Machine and Versions coexist together? Doesn't Versions 'do more' than Time Machine? (new to Mac) They'll co-exist Versions is a bit like shadow copy or whatever from WIndows BUT it does a bit more. On supported applications it will save the file without the user saving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Is that a new Finder UI? :o Fairly updated, yep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 In case you guys were wondering, this is how you get an app out of full screen (shows up in the menu bar, which shows up when your cursor is at the top of the screen): Edit: Also, just noticed this in the All My Files section in Finder (note the Cover Flow): What does that button next to the view modes do?

Elliott Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 What does that button next to the view modes do? That's the sorter (so you can get that view that you see in All My Files in whatever folder you want). Kind of cool that you can even sort by which application will open it.

Simon Veteran Posted February 24, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 24, 2011 Just installed a fresh version of Snow Leopard on a new partition; updating it to 10.6.6, then getting the Lion dev preview from the app store. Amazing how much time and data this takes, Rogers is gonna kill me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunarworks Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 So, QuickLook is white now. I don't like that so much. How about the menus that pop-up when you right-click icons in the dock? Are they still black, or were they made white as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although I'm not sure I will like it if that's how they publish the update - will fresh installs of Lion be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yeah, although I'm not sure I will like it if that's how they publish the update - will fresh installs of Lion be possible? Updates should come down through Software Update. I would imagine DVDs for fresh installs will be available for the final product, but Apple is definitely trying to leave optical media behind.

Elliott Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 You can't do a fresh install of Lion? :/ Not right now. Had to do a fresh install of Snow Leopard on another partition, update it to 10.6.6, redeem a code in the MAS and download the Lion installer.

PyX Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 *sigh* Yeah, I wanted to install a copy here. If it comes through the App Store I believe it will be impossible to get, and if I have to waste like 2 hours to install Snow Leopard + updates before, it’s a let down for the moment. It will probably be more like Leopard $129 than Snow Leopard. This. Lion is a true update with major new features, not just a bunch of optimizations with some perfections or the so-called "refinements". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If it comes through the App Store I believe it will be impossible to get People already cracked FaceTime in a matter of hours, I'm guessing the same will happen eventually with Mac OS X Lion. i hope its still $29 to uograde Doubtful. However I don't think they're going back to €129 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Examinus Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Looking very nice. I can't say I'm a fan of the inverted toolbar buttons (depressed if not selected), but everything else looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're going to for that slider look you see in Time Machine preferences as well (among other places). I imagine the button in the Finder toolbar slides around when selecting a different view mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
