Wow, they really screwed up Preview, didn't they?

I'm really a fan of Lion, but I'll admit that Preview is a little weird. I don't really get the whole "Duplicate" thing and no "Save as..." is annoying. The same goes for Text Edit. The whole Versions and auto-save thing is just different. Anyone have a good understanding of the whole thing?

Versions and autosave is brilliant. No more having to worry about something going wrong and you forgot to save, or accidentally overwriting files you didn't mean to in apps where the APIs supported. For a full analysis of it read this:

The above PDF doesn't even work in Snow Leopard. If you change the fields, then save... the changes are lost and the form is blank.

If I choose to "Save as..." it works for me in Snow Leopard.

Man I just watch too many movies, I've seen all 100 on the list including Intolerance and Modern times. Saw Intolerance at a DW Griffiths film festival in a theater on the upper West Side of Manhattan in the 60's, all four parts shown on one night. Got to get a life and stop watching so many movies.

- Interesting. Would anyone care to test this with other PDFs? I don't have any with clickable fields, and I wouldn't know where to find any, either.
Thank you.
