OS X Lion Golden Master Seeded to Developers

How do we change the size of thumbnails in the icon view of Finder? There is no slider and two finger pinch/expand doesn't work. Did they just drop it?

We've got to do it the hard way now.

Out of curiosity has anyone extensively tried:

Maya 2011
Photoshop CS5
Corel Painter 11 or 12
Unity 3D
ZBrush 4

On Lion? If so what is your experiences?

Please don't tell me they removed the slider. It's in DP4 and I'm loving it. It's such an obvious feature.

Removing it would be pretty bone-headed (unless of course there's a pinch-gesture for that, which is preferable.)

I hope this gets addressed.

Oh dear... you really don't need to go through all this trouble. On the menu "View" just select "Show status bar" (or whatever the english option is...it should be the 9th option).

Alternatively, just press cmd+/ on the Finder window.
 
Not mature enough

The whole OS feels interesting and fun to use in the first few hours but generally I think it is not mature enough for everyday use.

The gestures are not implemented correctly. The scrolling works perfect in Safari and Mail. but in other apps it is buggy. The inertial scrolling was far better in snow leopard than it is in lion. Sometimes it just stops. I don't know maybe we should expect all the apps to be updated to work properly with the new scrolling behavior but even the new Xcode for lion does work properly when it comes to gestures.
overall the gestures are not working as expected. It happened many times to me that I wanted to do something and something else happened. Maybe because there are two many of them and I am still not used to it.

And mission control is sometimes buggy. doesn't display some of the windows. it doesn't happen often (1 out of 100 use) but it happens.

But the whole OS feels faster and snappier than SL. I was really sick of the slowness of SL.
 
Quick question

Will machines running the golden master take .1, .2, .3 etc. updates as is, or will only the final app store release be able to update?

Most indicators reveal that Lion is the new Vista..

This should be very interesting. :eek:

I haven't read the majority of the thread, so if I'm off base I apologize. However, from those comments, I take it you haven't used Lion yet? I've been running Lion on my main HDD since Developer Preview 2. The OS IS better than SL.

I'm curious on why you think Lion will 'be very interesting'?
 
So new issues I found.

When viewing the video of Lion on Apple's UK site, it essentially continued playing, without the video playing, and you were unable to move any of the controls, couple of refreshes and it worked.

Also, and this is huge for me, they have removed the bounce icon/feature with Mail. I use this heaps for junk mail, or emails from people that won't take the hint. Disappointed to lose it.

Lot's of nice features, but feels cosmetic. Feels laggy, especially internet access
 
I'm surprised that we still have the same boring, colourless, dull folder icons in Finder.
Surely time for a change.

In most cases, you will need to be running whatever the final, released build is in order to apply updates. If this current GM build ends up being the released version, then it will be able to be updated; if there's a second GM build issued, then you will need that one to apply updates.
 
Is the general consensus that you can simply install one build over another without having to go back to Snow Leopard?
