Missing Feature in Lion: Expose for all Windows

Hello!
I've written a feedback to apple, that says it all:
=================================================
Since Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) there was one Feature removed,
which was a very important time saver for me:
Expose for all Windows
I'm missing this feature very much. In Mission Control you only see one window completly of every app, the other window are hidden behind. You can't entirely see, what is in that windows behind. There isn't a text Info when you float the mouse pointer over the window.
In Mac OS X 10.6. (Snow Leopard) I loved this time saving feature. I would be so happy and grateful, if this feature were to resurface in Mac OS X 10.8. (Mountain Lion).
Please let "Expose all Windows" return! :-)
=================================================
What do you think about it? Should / Could Expose return in the next Mac OS X? (I hope so)
Greetings from Germany,
Matthias B.

Hello Rysz and Captfred!
Rysz:
I already have send this to Apple feedback.
Captfred:
There are two problems:
1. I want to see all windows of all applications at once.
2. Even the windows seperate a little bit, there are (even with only three Windows) most parts of the windows hidden because of the front window shown.
Greetings,
Matthias B.

  • Control-Shift-W activates Snow Leopard-Like exposé for all windows. Can this be disabled/changed?

    Running Mac OS X 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air, Control-Shift-W produces a Snow Leopard-like expose for all windows.
    While useful, this keyboard shortcut is wreaking havoc with my BBEdit settings. (Control-Shift-W is used to toggle "Selected text only" in the "Find" window.)
    Does anyone know a way to alter or disable this system shortcut? I haven't been able to find any information regarding this shortcut and I fear I may have altered an underlying property (using "defaults write…" at the command line) and I don't know how to revert what I (may) have done.
    Thanks in advance.

    I suspect that it's busy trying to mount a network file system of some type.
    Are there any errors in your logs that seem appropriate (viewable via Applications->Utilities->Console?)

  • How can I resize and reposition the Date Created window for All windows?

    When setting view options for a finder window set to list view, I cannot get column resizing or positioning to hold. When making those changes, the option for "All Windows" automatically shifts to "This window only" and it then does not hold.

  • List of missing features in CC 2014 for film editors

    hello everyone,
    I was thinking about some features I miss in CC 2014 (and I really was hoping they will be there, because the most of them are just basics...) and made a list which I want to send (again...) to Adobe as feature request. Premiere improved a lot in last years, but there are still some basic functions which you absolutely need as a professional editor, which still aren`t implemented. What do you think about the list? or maybe did I overlook some of the new features in CC 2014? Just so you know, I`m using Premiere mostly for editing movies (shorts, but will edit my first feature film this year), also promotional films, but much more less. So my biggest concern right now is if Premiere is the right choice for editing a feature, which of course means a lot of material, probably Red Raw.
    so here`s what I totally miss in Premiere:
    1. auto sync/auto merge: synching by timecode or waveform all of the video and audio clips in the bin/in the timeline at once and not one after another. and merging them all at once, not one after another. it works of course, but it takes ages!
    2. merged clips should be more flexible,
    - it should be possible to use the option "interpret footage" on merged clips, sometimes you have to modify them after they were merged and you`re already editing for a long time.
    - replacing raw footage should also replace the footage in the (already merged and edited in a timeline) merged clips
    3. the aaf export is much too simple, there are a lot of options I miss there. it is great solve in Avid and in automatic duck in Final Cut, something like that would be great
    4. the possibility to change color space in the project and play out. yes, this option is available in After Effects, but you can`t always use it, because there is some footage you can`t import in AE (like titles!)
    5. .. which leads me to the last point: it should be possible to export the titles from Premiere with an alpha channel (I`m using the titles as the subtitles)
    bugs that need to be fix:
    - audio dropouts!
    Are there any feature films editors here? what is your experience with working on big projects on premiere?

    Since I don't know how to edit my own posts . . .
    Another missing feature, automatically filling in formulas when a new row is created. For instance, say you have 3 columns, 1 + 2 = 3. In Office 2004, when I add a new row, that formula is automatically inserted. It's just one of those nice little time saving features that would be nice.

  • Can I Set View Prefs for ALL Windows?

    Is there a way in Tiger to set preferences so that ALL Finder windows ALWAYS open to a chosen view? If I want to see all windows in List View, for example, whenever a window is opened or created so that I don't have to reset windows individually, can this be done?
    G5 Dual 2.7   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  
    G5 Dual 2.7   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    That actually doesn't completely work. I have the same settings for my 10.4 Finder. I also have the highest level directory (ie: the boot drive) set to icon view with Brushed Metal and Sidebar turned off. However, all new folders created on the desktop always begin in Brushed Metal w/ Sidebar view. Also, folders that have been set with Brushed Metal/Sidebar turned off, open with it turned on when first navigated to via the Dock.
    In other words, open place your boot drive in the Dock. Set it to icon view with Brushed Metal and set Finder to open folders in new windows. Create a folder at the highest level of the drive. Open it to confirm it has taken the parent folder settings (in this case icon view, with Brushed Metal/Sidebar off). Close the window. Now open it via pop up menu from the drive icon in the Dock. Not only does it open in Brushed Metal Siderbar on view, but also at a different size, and sometime different Desktop location. Only when you manually turn off Brushed Metal at that point will the two versions of the open folder match when navigated to both ways.
    This behavior drives me nuts, as I tend to stay in non-Brushed Metal view, in either list or icon. I have several drives, and bop between Dock pop-up navigation, and regular old double click drilling. I'm constantly having to manually set windows to non-Brushed metal view, even after they were created with it turned off. I wish this inconsistency, and the fact that all new folders created at the Desktop begin with Brushed Metal on, were controllable system wide. However, it's been this way in OSX since as early as I can remember. So I doubt it'll ever be addressed.

  • Finder views change for all windows

    After playing around with Snow Leopard for just a few days, I noticed that when I change a view type in any Finder window, that view is applied to all windows. Is this by design? With Tiger, you could specify the view for "this folder only" or "all folders"

    Joe - I've been heavily researching this issue. I've received some helpful advice from baltow, but here is how I fixed my problem. While in Best Buy over the weekend, I played on one of their Macs running Leopard 10.5.8 to see if the problem started before Snow Leopard. It did, wasn't just me. Then I found this site:
    http://www.macintouch.com/leopard/faq.html#finder
    It said: *Why don't my window view settings stick?* The Leopard Finder's approach to consistency is to use the last view you selected in any Finder window for all new Finder windows. You can override this on a per-folder basis; go to the menu View > Show View Options (or press Command-J). This opens a view options Inspector (a mini-window much like a traditional Palette window); at the top of this window, check the "Always open in" box to force the folder always to show the current view.
    This is what was throwing me off - I thought that Always open in box was a global setting, not on an individual folder basis. With Tiger, you had two options: This window only, All windows.
    Now I will play with the Arrange By setting and see if that works as well.

  • Change default homepage for all windows terminal user profiles

    would like to change homepage,bookmarks,proxy settings for all user profiles on windows server 2003/2008

    You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

  • Expose puts all windows on one screen?

    SHORT VERSION: When I have my MBP hooked up to a 2nd monitor, sometime when I invoke the "all windows" mode in Exposé, it puts all the windows one one screen (usually the larger second screen) -- meanwhile if there are any minimized windows, it will "stack" them on the second screen at full size.
    * This doesn't happen all the time. And I haven't quite figured out what conditions "cause" it.
    * If I restart, the problem goes away.
    * Mousing over a window only works correctly on the second screen (trying to hover over a window on the screen with the "minimized" windows -- those don't respond)
    Thoughts?

    You should fit 16 spaces of apps/folder icons per page. So, from your post, what is happening is that on page 1 you have 3 rows of 4 apps each then 1 row of 2 apps. On page 2 you have 1 app.
    You can easily fix this via iTunes. Connect your iPod Touch to iTunes and to the following:
    1. Touch and hold the app icon that you want to move (In this case it would be your sole icon on page2)
    2. This will put you in edit mode for apps while they will all begin to shake
    3. Grap the app with your finger and move it to the left edge of the screen
    4. This will move it to page 1 and then you can place it wherever you want
    Now you will all 15 apps on page 1.

    2. If yes, what is the work around it for it to work on all windows platform?
    3. If no, should i use win forms to develop the app i.e VS 2012 for windows desktop?

    Thank you in advance and reply soon

    Windows Store Apps are only supported in Windows 8 and later (depending on what OS you target - Windows Store Apps can be targeted to 8.0 or 8.1 and likely 10 soon). They won't be able to work on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. There is no workaround - users
    need at least Windows 8.
    You could use Win Forms or WPF in order to develop Desktop Applications. Desktop Applications are still supported on Windows 8 and later. They don't however support Windows RT tablets, Windows Phones or the Xbox One.

  • Missing feature: APEX_APPLICATION_INSTALL not useful for TRANSLATED apps

    Hello, all and Joel Kallman.
    Thank you Joel for confirming my bug reports yesterday. I have two more problems. One too simple to explain, another more complex but reproducable (related to ora-4031 in large pool with translated apps).
    According to your blog post at YABAOAE
    http://joelkallman.blogspot.com/2010/07/apexapplicationinstall.html
    APEX_APPLICATION_INSTALL intended to import application from command line.
    It is great feature. But it is so great only for non-translated applications.
    if I use translated application, I can't use ONLY command line. I still must logon to Apex Builder to SEED and PUBLISH before translated application wil be translated.
    So, there are no expected benefits from using apex_application_install for translated application.
    Workarownd:
    Didn't fint yet. Only manually clicking on seed&publish in Apex Builder.
    Maybe I miss something easy and everybody kbows how to seed and publish from command line?
    If so, please, let me know how to do it.

    Hi Patrick!
    Do you really think that it works?
    It doesn't. Lets check it together.
    All my DEV, TEST, UAT and other enviroments are on the same database.
    In my example I will clone DEV to DEMO. Each of this enviroments has its own parsing schemas and workspaces.
    1.I go to see DEV workspace. App 110 already seeded and published.
    Home > Application Builder > Application 110 > Shared Components > Translate > Seed and Publish
    I see there two mapped translated apps.
    Column "Strings" = 69.444
    Please, remember this number. This number is the same for both mapped apps as they are seeded and published already.
    2. I export it with APEXexport including translation.
    3.I import it into workspace DEMO as app 111 using great APEX_APPLICATION_INSTALL.
    I preffer command line to export and import as it save time and reduce risk of mistakes. There are other reasons exists, not for this topic.
    4.Now application is imported and I go to DEMO workspace to check result.
    Home > Application Builder > Application 111 > Shared Components > Translate > Seed and Publish.
    I see two mapped translated apps. It is good.
    BUT!
    Column Strings = 9251.
    Do you still remember 69.444?
    To restore translations I must just SEED and PUBLISH manually.
    So, there no way to create a copy of translated app WITH COMMAND LINE ONLY if the source and target apps are on the same database.
    As APEX_APPLICATION_INSTALL intented to create a copy of application with command line, I tell you, it does not work for translated apps as expected.
    Vladimir.

  • Error code 80070308 for all windows update

    Hi,
    I'm unable to install any kind of update. The install finishes with the following message : Unknown error code 80070308.
    My system info is as follows:
    OS: win7 Pro 32-bit, downloaded from ms website
    Processor: AMD Athlon XP2400+ @ 2.66 GHz
    RAM: 1GB
    I already saw this similar topic "VPC7 install failure: Prior to restart " but there is no solution.
    Thanks !

    Hi Deguich,
    Generally, the Windows Update issue can be caused by one of the following factors:
    1. The Windows Update service has been stopped.
    2. Corrupted Windows Update Temporary folder.
    In order to narrow down the cause of this issue and resolve it, I suggest you refer to the following steps. After finishing each step, you can check the result again.
    NOTE: Some third party programs can affect the Windows Update service. If you are running any third party applications such as Spyblocker, Internet or web accelerators (programs designed to boost the speed of the Internet connection), security or anti-virus programs (Norton, McAfee, etc.), I recommend we temporarily disable or shut them down and then try accessing Windows Update later. Please understand that we are disabling these programs only for the purpose of troubleshooting and we can re-enable these programs after we finish troubleshooting.
    Step 1: Verify the relevant Windows Update services
    ================================
    1. Click the "Start" Button, in “Search" bar, type: "services.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. Double click the service "Windows Update".
    3. Click on the "General" tab; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the "Start" button under "Service Status" to start the service.
    4. Please repeat the above steps with the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" service.
    You can also temporarily stop these services, restart the computer, and then start these services again. If any service is missing or cannot be stopped or restarted, please let me know.
    Step 2: Rename the Windows Update Softwaredistribution folder
    ================================
    This problem may occur if the Windows Update Software distribution folder has been corrupted. We can refer to the following steps to rename this folder. Please note that the folder will be re-created the next time we visit the Windows Update site.
    1. Close all the open windows.
    2. Click the "Start" Button, click "All programs", and click "Accessories".
    3. Right-click "Command Prompt", and click "Run as administrator".
    4. In "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type in "net stop WuAuServ" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
    Note: Please look at the cmd window and make sure it says that it was successfully stopped before we try to rename the folder. However, if it fails, please let me know before performing any further steps and include any error messages you may have received when it failed.
    5. Click the Start Button, in the “Search" bar, type in "%windir%" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
    6. In the opened folder, look for the folder named "SoftwareDistribution".
    7. Right-click on the folder, select Rename and type "SDold" (without the quotes) to rename this folder.
    8. While still in the "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type the command "net start WuAuServ" (without the quotes) in the opened window to restart the Windows Updates service.
    Note: Please look at the cmd window and make sure it says that it was successfully started. However, if it failed, please let me know before performing any further steps and include any error messages you may have received when it failed.
    If the issue persists, would you please upload the following information to SkyDrive and provide us the link for analyzing?
    How to capture a screenshot
    ================================
    1. Press the Print Screen key (PrtScn) on your keyboard.
    2. Click the "Start" Button, type "mspaint" in the Search Bar and Press Enter.
    3. In the Paint program, click the "Edit" menu, click "Paste". Then click the "File" menu, and click "Save".
    4. The "Save As" dialogue box will appear. Type a file name in the "File name:" box, for example: "screenshot".
    5. Make sure "JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE;*.JFIF)" is selected in the "Save as type" box, click "Desktop" on the left pane and then click "Save".
    How to collect the System Information
    ================================
    The System Information can provide us with more information about the current status of the system. I would like to check it for you. Please send it to me using the following steps:
    1. Click the "Start" Button, type "MSINFO32" in the Search Bar and press Enter to start System Information.
    2. On the popup window, on the menu bar, click "File", and click "Save", type a file name and then choose NFO as "Save as type", click "Desktop" on the left pane, and click Save.
    How to collect the WindowsUpdate.log file
    ================================
    1. Click the "Start" Button, type "WindowsUpdate.log" (without the quotes) in the Search Bar and Press Enter. We will see a file named "WindowsUpdate.log"
    2. Now click on the "File" menu and then click on the "Save As".

  • Can you alter the JVM heap space size for all Windows users?

    Hi,
    I have used the "-Xmx" option to increase the Java Heap space for my Java application. This works fine, but all other users on my system still have the default heap space setting and I want them to have use an increased heap space as well. I cannot alter the JVM heap space at the command line since our Java application is started via an ActiveX bridge from a Windows application.
    So far I have found one potential, but not really good solution; I have figured out that I can copy the deployment.properties file containing the altered JVM heap setting from the "Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment" folder in my own Windows "Documents and Settings" folder to the same folder of another user. However, this is not a really good solution since we are running a system with about 60 users and often new user accounts are created and sometimes people forget to copy the deployment.properties file.
    Does anyone know a better solution. I've tried to search the Windows registry or the JRE files for a default JVM heap space setting but I can't find it anywhere. Still on some systems the default is 64Mb and on others 96Mb, so I guess there must be a setting somewhere?

    The following is my eclipse.ini:
    -vmargs
    -Xms256m
    -Xmx512m
    -Dfuego.fstudio=true
    -DprodMode=preProduction
    -Dbea.home=C:\bea\albpm6.0\studio\..
    -Djava.endorsed.dirs=""
    -XX:PermSize=256M
    -XX:MaxNewSize=256M
    -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M
    but i think this configuration just effect the eclipse, not embed bpm engine. I also change the engine preference, increase the heap size, but engine crash as before.
    I want to change the jvm from jdk to jrockit, i hope any suggest.

  • Framework support for all windows operating systems

    Hi!
    I want to build a single desktop app for windows xp, windows 7, windows vista and windows 8. someone told me that a desktop app build in visual studio 2013 will not run on xp.
    Which framework version or visual studio version should I use to build a desktop app which should run on all mentioned operating systems?

    Using .net 3.5 is pretty limiting.
    I would have thought the lifespan and percentages of win xp and vista devices is so small that they might not be worth supporting.
    This is the decision taken by the client on my current ( end consumer targeted ) project.
    Hope that helps.

  • Chrome unusable - "Aw, Snap!" for all windows

    Since updating to Mavericks, my Google Chrome is not working.  I am unsure when it started... I thought it was working with 10.9.1 but now its not working at all with 10.9.2.
    I have deleted the app (using AppZapper) and deleted the entire Prefs (in Application Support)
    I constantly get the "Aw, Snap!" Screen and caanot do anything.  There certainly is some conflict comewhere.
    I have tried a clean install of Chrome, and nothing works.  The only screen that displays correctly is the Task Manager, and all that now shows is:
    Browser
    GPU Process
    No other window works at all.
    Chrome = 33.0.1759.152.
    ===============
    Thanks
    Peter

    I agree.  If installing on a guest OS fixes Chrome, then that's a big clue also, it seems to me.  My suspicions are like you say, either a system prefs issue or something else that's been installed commonly between us.  (I think a corrupted file is less likely because my system was so new when this issue began.  Not impossible, just not likely.)
    The only non-Apple system prefs I have are Flash, Flip4Mac, FUSE, Pantone's Huey, and Java.  And I literally have only 75 applications installed on this machine, of which less than half are non-Apple.
    I guess the real way to do it would be to start installing things on the Guest OS side until Chrome screws up again, then you'd know you've found the answer.  I don't have time to do much with this right now, but I do want access to Chrome and Opera, so I am determined to figure this out.
    Are you upgrading to Yosemite?  Sometimes bugs like this disappear with OS upgrades.  I'm holding off on Yosemite for the time being.

Maybe you are looking for
