Man, you just had to bring up Tahoe, didn’t you! 😂 I installed 26.2 not even twelve hours ago, and I don’t think I have used BBEdit since that time.
I really hope those window server stalls are gone, because they are REALLY driving me nuts. They happen every few minutes, and they last a good 30-60 seconds, unless I click on the desktop, and then back into BBEdit again as Rich suggested to me some time ago. It is absolutely ridiculous that we are forced to do that. That Apple has not fixed the issue by this time is inexcusable. In fact, the fact that they even released Tahoe either that bug to begin with is excusable. Oddly enough, I don’t know why, but BBEdit is the only app where I seem to experience those annoying stalls. Regarding other macOS Tahoe complaints, let me begin with this: My first complaint is that greedy Apple has apparently shortened the lifespan of the compatibility of older Macs with regard to installing newer version of macOS. It used to be that it would take about eight years before you could no longer install a new OS on a particular machine. Well, sad to say, I was shocked to discover that in its great "wisdom" and "benevolence", Apple has apparently decided to shorten that period to just SIX YEARS! As a result, I was unable to install macOS Tahoe on my 2019 27" 5K iMac. On my Apple Studio, Tahoe installed just fine, and it has worked properly …. except for the stupid stalls in BBEdit. HOWEVER, I do have some other complaints regarding the new user interface, or UI. Honestly speaking, I don't know who designed the newer UI, but if you ask me, they were really sleeping at the wheel. Or maybe they had too much of that California wine. Who knows. My first complaint is the hard drive icon. WHY in the world did you change it, Apple? The previous one was very nice: a shiny, metallic, modern-looking hard drive icon. I like it! At least I still see it on my 2019 5K iMac. But the new hard drive icon on macOS Tahoe? Totally blah, bland and unimaginative. So they put a little Apple logo on it. Big deal! It is just a very BORING icon. Next up, the desktop connected server icon. Guys, what in the world were you thinking. Aside from looking similar to the new hard drive icon, it is blue. And that's the problem. It is almost the same blue color as desktop folders. If a person has a lot of folder icons on their desktop, and is in a hurry and not paying attention, they could accidentally pick the connected server icon my mistake. You should have made the connected server icon more distinct from the main hard drive icon, and a different color from folder icons. Next up, the Disk Utility. Again, what in the world were you guys thinking? My great grandpa has more life than that icon! If there is one thing I really don't like, it is when Apple gets us used to seeing a particular icon, and then they suddenly take it out from under our feet. Guys, the previous Disk Utility icon was great. It shows a hard drive with a stethoscope. We've seen it for years. You look at that icon, and you immediately know what it is and what it does. On the other hand, when I first saw the new Disk Utility in my Dock, my jaw dropped! What is that ugly thing? What app does it even pertain to? Again, major error! Please give us back the previous icon which at least made visual sense. Next up, the new, huge, rounded corners on Finder windows. Functionality-wise, they really add nothing, so exactly what is the point of them? I am still scratching my head. And my last complaint for this response has to do with the Apple Mail app. More specifically, what Apple genius decided that it was a smart idea to put the "Archive" and the "Trash" buttons right next to each other? Again, if a person is in a hurry and being a little absent-minded, they could very easily click on the wrong button and archive something, when they really meant to trash it. Those two buttons should NOT be next to each other in my view. Let me just throw in one more complaint since I am on a roll here. And actually, this is really a longterm problem which has existed for I don't know how long. Apple, when oh when are you going to get file sharing PERMANENTLY fixed, so that it isn't disabled whenever a user reboots their machine? As a result of this still-unresolved OS flaw, every time I reboot one of my two machines on my network, I have to remember to go into System Settings/General/Sharing to re-enable "File Sharing" if it has been disabled. Please fix it! And with that, my friends, I will end this gripes session. If you have any of your own with regard to Tahoe, let me know ….. Well, unless Rich thinks that I’ve gone too far off-topic already. 😂😀😆 -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
