Why is there no "flux" feature in mac OS X? Should be simple enough to add. It feels like the different product categories just go at their own whim and pace. Features should roll out simultaneous across their lines.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases Third OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan Beta to Public Beta Testers

Rootless can be disabled, the green button behavior can be changed with the Option key, cut/paste in finder is done with the Option key, you can tell Mail not to download attachments automatically, folders on top is inconsistent for keyboard navigation.
Don't mean to sound like a fanboy, but, your green button, cut/paste and folders on top complaints sound like someone who came straight from Windows and didn't bother learning the OS X shortcuts would complain about.
You don't have the intellectual wherewithal to simply skip/ignore things that don't interest you and are compelled to complain?
AMEN BABY JESUS, AMEN! I complete agree, it's a joke.
Maybe I should put "Try the green dot + Option on Chrome before you talk about how the feature exists already" in my signature.
How about Apple mail. Is it gone from Crap to even more Crapy as usual on each new iteration of osx?
I miss the old one pre Yosemite, it was managable at least. The last 6 month i had only headaches solving mail problems, ended last week to ditch it to Airmail which is better in many ways but still not perfect.
Apple, please fix mail, how long time you need to do that?

Sorry, but I've exclusively been on a Mac for the past 16 years and I have NO allegiance to any corporation. However, Apple's boneheaded executions of certain things in OS X have needed attention for the longest time. If you're happy with the way things are; fine. However, none of my solutions infringed your ways of working in OS X, no matter how backwards. Why? Because I clearly stated for to be OPTIONS. Truthfully, I don't care if things we're set to default as they are now, so even those who complain about suggestions have even less to moan about.
My suggestions have been echoed for years by tons of other people, so clearly Apple is doing something wrong.
It took Apple 30 years to pull it's head out of it's ass and sell a two-button mouse.
7 years to allow to users to install 3rd party keyboards in iOS.
They still don't have any file management for iOS devices but expect 'power users' to go with the iPad 'Pro' ?
Apple does a lot of things right... but they also do a lot of things that just make you think 'Are they completely stupid?'

Funny, I switched to Airmail too just a few days ago! The attachment debacle with mail is a horrific NIGHTMARE. Inline attachments, seriously? And if not, then all displaying as weird icons that displays incorrectly on the receiving end.? That alone makes Mail complete garbage. Airmail is nice, I love the interface plus loads of neat features.

Yeah, it's inconsistent from one application to another. Would be a whole lot easier if Apple just added some simple options in System Preferences and it would end the problem for good.
Good news is that this seems to be the fastest/snappiest El Capitan yet.
Bad news is no fix still for the USB Audio Device / USB over Thunderbolt issues.

WD MyBookLive has not been happy since El Cap. WD My Cloud seems a bit happier, but not as reliable as before.
True, and I and many others like this consistent functionality.
That other reply on your post is... appalling.
- Full screen - green button (no menu bar showing)
- Maximized - green button with option - (with menu bar showing -- most windows must manually resize for this first time - double click doesn't always work)
- Minimized - yellow button- sometimes to dock, sometimes minimized folder on right of dock
- Red button - windows is gone - menu bar for that window remains
- Split screen - must hold down green button
- Exiting split screen throws one app windows into full screen mode on a separate desktop 'space'
maddening.
Meaning what?
Chrome behaves like other programs, e.g. Safari. Option + Green button or double-click on the title bar do what one expects them to do.
Well why don'T you jus disable wi-fi while using the ethernet adapter? I know it's not ideal an apple defenetly shold fix the issue but until the do at least you wont have to reboot thar often

The fix for finder mho is: drop the hole app and replace it wit something like windows explorer (from windows xp) that was one of the things ms did right (directory/folder) tree on the left and diectory contents on the right, easy to navigate an cluter free

Updated my Macbook Air. For some reason the update is not shown in the App Store Updates section 'Updates installed in the last 30 days'. Bit strange but not a big deal. Next beta update will arrive in 2 weeks
where do i go about updating if its not under Updates?
LOL!
I did try Pathfinder... oh man, it's so bloated and slow. But the biggest problem with it is that it's not integrated with the system. The real solutions are TotalFinder and XtraFinder. Those fixed Finder *very* well. But they're also the reason why I'm not switching to El Capitan... disabling Root doesn't completely work, there's still issues with both those apps.
In System Preferences there is an option for getting the old 'fit the size to content' behaviour by double clicking the window toolbar/titlebar.
For moving (MOVING) files in the Finder you press cmd+c and cmd+alt+v. That has been since years.
I didn't investigate the others your 'issues' but I can think for sure you are wrong the same way.

That's rude! Of course I have the 'intellect', but it is getting rather tedious to see the ONLY story's on Mac Rumors are the yet again ones of the latest beta releases of several Apple OS's. Kinda boring, and o mix it up we have a story on an engineer they've hired to design watch faces, or how a bill in the US was introduced to block weakened security...
Meanwhile on 9to5mac we have interesting articles like how Car Play will be demoed in Apple stores, report on who is making the iPhone 7 SOC, news on American smartphone sales numbers.
Mac Rumors front page news has been lacking of late, where are the rumours of hardware? At least MWC is around the corner.
Trashcan Mac Pro 6 core with 32GB RAM.
This is typical of the issues we see, in fact we use the MM-1 speakers: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7263784?start=0&tstart=0
I have to remember to disable Wi-Fi before connecting the Ethernet adapter, otherwise it will get stuck on Wi-Fi no matter what, until I reboot. If I plug in the Ethernet adapter and then disable Wi-Fi, I just stop having an internet connection. Even though Ethernet is connected, El Capitan won't even bother trying to use it. It just says "Your Mac is not connected to the Internet."
Hey Macrumors editors, would it be that hard to put the build number in the initial post for these OSX or iOS betas? I'm always poking around forums or google to find out if it updated properly.
10.11.4 Beta (15E39d) for me.
