I Have Lion - Ask Me Questions

[samwise]

Someone with Lion and the Lion Safari, what do you see when you view the first post in this thread?

It should be like this:

 

[Compile 'em all]

Thats what I kinda mean, what if I don't want those documents to be there? What if I just want a clean session. From what I read in that link, Cmd+Q closes the app just like before, but it auto saves the file. What if I don't want it to auto save? From what the link said, the only way to not have it auto save is to close the window of the app, choose not to save when the dialog box comes up, and then close the program using Cmd+Q/File - Quit.

From what it sounds like, closing an app is now a two step process. Close the window of the app first, then File - Quit / Cmd+Q.

What is it that you don't get? You are not supposed to think about "a process" or "closing". Why would in this day and age would you want to care? People use their computers to get work done. Not spend their lives managing file systems and "thinking" about quitting and not quitting. The iPhone has way limited resources than a Mac yet it does an excellent job taking care of these things. Also, the fact that you think that the way to start "a new session" is quitting an app and relaunching it is WRONG.

I can understand though why nerds are going crazy about this whole Lion thing. Suddenly they will be left with too much time on their hands and they have to get out of their mums basements.

At least in Windows and Linux/Unix most, if not all, file managers for those platforms have a "Show hidden Files/Folders" option in the view menu. Apple does not.

I like the idea of them making it hidden, simply because it makes our home folder look cleaner, but not making it somewhat easy to view hidden files, and something like our own library folder is lame.

Simple solution. Create an alias or symlink either in a convenient location or in the Finder's sidebar. If you are smart enough to manage your Library folder yourself (unlike the, ahem, Lion's share of users) you are smart enough to create a quick entry point to it. In reality, Apple should have Library In Sidebar as a Finder Preferences option under the "Advanced" tab.

Do applications not installed via the App Store show up under LaunchPad by default?

If not is there a way to add them?

If they are in your Applications folder, they'll show up by default.
