What is the point of the download window if you use stacks?

Greetings,
One of the most annoying things about the download window was the fact that the window always hung around after completing dowloads in Tiger when using safari. To me, that was just a time waster of always pressing Apple+W to close that window.
When Leopard was released, I was excited to realize that one function of the download stack was to recevie downloads from safari after completed. However, after completion, the download window still sticks around and I still have to close it... then navigate to my stack of downloads to mount the image. What is the point of the download window is I use stacks now? Why can't the window disappear after completion?
//Cheers

Aaargh!! Me too - it's so annoying! Firefox has a downloads window as well - I just don't see the point of it. I didn't like it in Tiger either.
As a way to see the progress of downloads, it's fine, but it should at least close when all the downloads are finished, and completed downloads should not display.
Ideally it should look & work exactly like the Copy window in Finder - the one that comes up when you are copying or moving a large file or number of files from one folder to another.
Is there a hack that will make it work like that?

  • What's The Point Of The Documents Switch In iCloud Preferences?

    According to the help pages on iCloud.com, OS X users must manually upload and download documents as they wish to edit them.  This is different from iOS devices as they get the latest version automatically pushed to them.
    What's the point of the of the Documents switch in iCloud preferences if nothing happens automatically?

    It's a pain uploading and downloading from iworks.com
    To me it's a step backwards from using iDisk, Apple needs to sort it out really

  • TS1702 what is the point of the Ipod touch(2nd generation)?Every single app Is not compatible with it.Seems like a complete ripoff to me.My phone was alot cheaper and does way more.Very frustrated with this device.

    what is the point of the Ipod Touch(2nd generation)?Every single app is not compatible with it.Am I missing something?My cell phone cost 1/2 as much and does way more.This is why I don't normally purchase any apple products.Overpriced flashlight,that's about all it does.

    There are still some apps compatible, with the 2G. Also, since September, Apple has now allowed download the last version of apps that were compatible with the 2G but have been updated to no longer be compatibles
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • What is the POINT of the Creative Cloud App?

    This is a bug report and a rant:
    Every time the CC app updates, one or more of my Installed Apps disappear from it. With the last update, all but two disappeared.
    The apps themselves (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, etc.)are all still there on my system, and run fine, they are just gone from the CC app.
    So my question is not facetious - WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE CC APP?
    Do we need it?
    Do we want it?
    Please - don't sing me the "uninstall and reinstall" song, I've done it over and over and it won't play.
    Fix it or lose it!
    Thanks

    If you have very good lighting, the 0.7 MP camera takes acceptable photos.  Light is all you can do.

  • What's the point of the grey space around an image?

    I understand the point of the grey space around an image when viewing in 'Fit' mode, because the image may or may not fill up the viewing space depending upon its aspect ratio...
    But when you zoom in to 1:1 mode, and you scroll around your picture, why is there still this large amount of grey space around your image? If I scroll to the end of my image, it should just stop scrolling, not scroll over the end of my image into this vast amount of unusable and unnecessary grey space!
    It's just annoying that every time I happen to be scrolling around fast, I scroll over the edges of my image into this vast grey space & I just can't fathom the reason for its existence.
    For a better picture of what I'm talking about, see here:
    http://web.mac.com/rishisanyal/Lightroom/UnusableSpace.jpg
    -Rishi

    Actually, it makes perfect sense to scroll in this fashion. It means that every part of the image can occupy the sweet centre spot of your monitor, even with all the panels open.
    Try it. Even that important corner area of the image can be centred on your monitor. Particularly important when performing some spotting along the edges.

  • What's the point of the x-serve?

    what's the point of the x-serve?
    of rack mounted computers in general?
    Do buyers of rack equipment keep it as long as possible?
    I ask that because i wonder how easy it is to sell rack equipment.
    Seems easier to rejuvenate a computer parc if its composed of macpros rather than x-serves.
    is it only to save space?
    do the x-serves do things that the macpro can't?
    (or the G5 x-serve than the G5 towers)

    The XServe really doesn't do anything that a Mac Pro cannot. It is more about robustness and a useable design.
    Except for dual, redundant power supplies and hot-swappable drives - standard on the XServe, not available on the Mac Pro.
    It's main raison d'etre, though, is its form factor. If you run a large network of, say, 200 servers you could, power permitting, fit them in about 100 square feet of datacenter space (40 servers per rack for 5 racks, @ 20 sq ft per rack), compared to 660 sq feet to house the same number of Mac Pros.
    Since datacenter space is charged by the square foot, that makes a huge difference.

  • What is the point in this "BScatalyst" if can not use your own domain name?!

    the marketing of adobe BScatalyst is a enigma for me. What is it? when you can´t use your domain name?!

    I think you need to do a lot of research and a lot of reading.
    The point is: adobe has NOTHING TO OFFER besides the software (muse) for
    developing a site.
    Sorry to repeat this a lot but your not correct here as well.
    Muse came recently and is a simple tool to help get people into making sites from the graphics and design industry basically. BC Has a full template, layout and code system:
    http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/dev-assets/reference#!/module-reference/photo-galleries/m odule_photogallery.html
    It has API Access, it can be developed using any coding software from Dreamweaver to Coda 2. This for many is the primary method of creating BC websites and has been for years, even before Adobe purchased the BC company.
    It is always being updated as you can see with the new rendering engine and liquid markup:
    http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog
    The point is the CC atracts amatures, like my self, to devope sites, but
    they have NOTHING to offer on the hosting side of the work.
    Sorry, but none of this is correct. CC is a service created by Adobe to take all its software into the cloud, it is not just there to develop sites. In terms of storing your work in the cloud that is one of its primary functions. Ignoring BC and websites you can store your files, PSD's through your Creative Cloud account.
    Your post was put under moderation automatically by the forum software because how you posted it. The caps will do it.
    everything above here are without ANY interest for the common amateur muse developer. Why do you think we use muse?!
    I communicate, I read and know a lot of Muse developers, Again your not correct here as well. Sorry for repeating this but this again simply not true and pretty much everything you have said so far is that.
    A lot of Muse users develop very nice looking but basic in function websites, there are a lot who would like to do more such as eCommerce etc, you are not the norm in your thinking off what everything is from CC, BC and the web.
    CMS me here, SAAS me there, and business analysis me over again. IT IS OF NO INTEREST FOR US MILLIONS OF MUSE USERS!
    Again, this is not true. Most of the posts I see from Muse users is how they do more with BC and many want and ask how to upgrade their CC BC to offer more features. The Creative Cloud version of BC is the VERY BASIC version of it, it does not have most of the abilities it has if you have one of the higher plans.
    See here:
    US Yearly Pricing | Adobe Business Catalyst
    A complementary product to Muse is HOSTING!
    Creative Cloud is Adobe moving into the Cloud space for their products and services, Muse is an entry level designer based peace of software to create basic websites. Business Catalayst is what you do not want to research into and hosting is just storage basically.
    Adobe Business Catalyst
    In terms of your website, people make sites just for family etc and put them on the web, Real domain or not you can build a site for what ever you want. But its a website and will be out there on the web. Search engines like google will index such sites so if you do not want them out there on the internet do not create them to make them available.
    I do not mean to be rude, but your comments are not valid and going no where. You not really understanding what anything is, your complaining about things are not true or things that you think do not exist when they do.
    I have been developing sites on the Business Catalyst platform for over 5 years and using other coding platforms and other CMS's for longer then that. I am considered one of the people outside BC who know the platform for the most so please trust in what I am saying here.
    If you want just hosting just use Creative Cloud or something like dropbox.
    If you want to learn more about the web or building sites etc I suggest you go lean, there are many great resources out there.

  • I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

    I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

    I'm not sure that answers the question Candice.
    I'm in the same situation.  I was up trying to get on the Verizon page at 11:55, kept getting the ECPD error.  When finally got through, the Silver Iphone Plus 64 showed arrival of 9-19.  At every step of the process, it seemed that I was ordering a phone that would arrive on day1.  At no point did it say this was an estimate.  At no point did it say it might change.  In a big yellow box, it said "9-19".  Ordered it, then got confirmation email stating it should arrive at 9-19.   Seems like all should be good, right?  Order site said 9-19, I've got a confirmation email saying 9-19, done and done.
    Then I check the website, and suddenly it changed to 10-14?!?!?!?  I feel like this was a bait and switch.  I was able to pickup an iphone5 in a local store on launch day, and would not have locked myself into a preorder through Verizon if I had known this would happen!
    So, that leads back to the original questions.  Lets assume I walk into a Verizon store on 9-19, and there is an available iphone6 plus just sitting there, can I either get that phone as fulfillment of my pre-order.  Or, cancel my pre-order and buy that phone right then and there?

    PS:  It seems there are many people you misled this way.  For every person who takes the time to post on this site, there are going to be many many more who are silently ****** off.

  • How can I reduce the size of a photo proportionally.  With my old Mac mini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner  hold the shift key until I achieved the desires size.

    How can I reduce the size of a photo PROPORTIONALLY?  With my old Macmini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner of the picture, hold down the shift key and move the pointer to achieve the desired size.  

    You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Xee 2.1 - free
    My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
    PSE has a specific feature just for that function.  I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

  • Position of the pointer of the mouse

    as I can obtain the position of the pointer of the mouse in an applet
    I use "MouseEvent e" and then I use "e.getX () and e.getY ()" and it compiles well
    but when I execute the program they make errors.
    A piece of the program:
    "public class ticker2 extends Applet implements Runnable {
    MouseEvent e;
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
    if(activo && (m.getX ()> origen[indice])
    also use a "addMouseMotionListener" in the function "init" that I don't believe that it causes conflicts
    Somebody knows where this the error or how should make it well.

    Try this,
    addMouseListener(
    new MouseAdapter() {  
      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        if(isSelected)
         System.out.println( e.getX()+e.getY() );
    });      If it works I would be happy to relieve you of your dukeDollars :-)
