Apple Releases Seventh Beta of macOS Big Sur to Developers

[antmarobel]

This seems to be fixed on mine, the menu bar clock info has moved to the dock and menu bar menu.

I submitted feedback about this issue last public beta.

So f...ing weird. I don't have it. I wonder how and why Apple make different versions of the same system and release them that way...

No because the beta process began in June with no issues. People were at home then too.

🙄 Most I know, waited until the beta's were more mature, no point updating apps with an early evolving system. But nothing must get in your way of getting what you want, when you want it. Of course it's not your connection, after all you must have the best and fastest.

I'm so tempted upgrade to Big Sur but don't want to deal with the bugs. We'll probably see this released in October right? But even then, it could still be buggy

Beta 5 / Public Beta 2 was really buggy, but it's pretty fine now

Do you talk about last dev beta? I have encountered several crashes after sleep on previous dev beta and I came back to Catalina. I'm tempted to upgrade again but I would like to be sure those crashes are solved.

What was crashing? The early DBs were definitely pretty panic'y for me, but DB6 and DB7 have seemed pretty solid.

I really want to see Mail get an attachment manager. It’s just nuts how attachments are inline in the messages. And Mail sends images inline instead of as an attachment. Outlook has a bin at the top. It’s superior. Also, Mail’s dark mode works about 70% or the time. It seems arbitrary, but many emails are white. Again; Outlook does this better and has a button to switch between the two modes on the bar.

-----Personally, I've always preferred having attachments inline. That way, they can be moved anywhere you want. I also like how Mail lets you display attachments without an icon if you want to use them as a link in your message's prose text.

Also, I want to see Preview beefed up with PDF editing. Acrobat is horrid on the Mac. Preview is fast but it displays PDFs of graphics inaccurately many times. Maybe it’s using an old PDF spec? Update it please.

-----Or it could be that Adobe's using proprietary extensions to said specification. (I wouldn't be surprised if they were; I've seen some…interesting differences in behavior with respect to some files before.)

Very happy with the stability of this beta for the moment! I have encountered several crashes when going out of sleep with beta 6. Fingers crossed I didn't have one yet with beta 7. 🤞🏻

My Mac Mini does not shut down now.
"Shutdown" or "Restart" from the Apple menu do nothing.
"Log Out User" works OK

SMB Networking is Finally fixed now though. And seems much more stable that the last few DB's

My system won’t stay on longer than 10 mins on DB7. 😢
