I know you're a longtime user of the mobile version (and the only person to have discussed Wotja in the DEVONthink forums, which in itself scores you unlimited lifetime points…) the desktop version stands in a similar relation to that as Drambo does to Bebot. It's the single best reason to own a Mac. Just hold down command-option and drop all the PDFs on your hard drive into it it will index them all on the spot and you can then perform complex Boolean searches that will instantly bring up every relevant passage of every relevant document. Your old friend DEVONthink is mindblowingly incredible on desktop, has a 30-day free trial with Pro features (including built-in OCR) unlocked, and is currently on Winterfest sale. I will also check "Drafts" and "iA Writer" for MacOS. To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`. The default interactive shell is now zsh. Yes, I already noticed that: ~ % exec bash Terminal’s good to have on every mac, but if you’re using it a lot, get a better one.Īlso present in every macOS: cifs/samba (which is really what’s behind all the network UI) vi and emacs CUPS (which is what’s behind the print UI) LLVM/Clang and GCC Apache with PHP (php needs enabling in the Apache conf) and much much more Since the move from default bash to default zsh, I’ve also changed from using terminal as my cli to using iTerm as a third party substitute (came well recommended as a substitute). The Terminal, however, is an exception, it’s horrendously slow on occasion and isn’t up to date at all. In general the more you embrace (well the more I’ve embraced) the Apple ways of doing things rather than alternatives, the more my life has become easier. "Īnd then there is an App bar like on iPadOS on the bottom, but this is only on my larger, landscape monitor - which should be the primary display.īut it does not seem to be the primary display at said: īoth monitors have a menu bar at the upper border, starting with the Apple and then "Finder. Many thanks, the "Gather Displays" already helped!īut I am not sure what you mean with "little menu bar". If you press ‘gather displays’ or whatever it’s called (I’m on my iPad, my Macs are upstairs) you get both control panels stacked together in the same place so you can easily control them in case you’ve lost one display (eg accidental settings that result in invisible output on one monitor) Of course you can drag the displays spatial relationship to each other, too, so you can have one on top of the other, swap sides, have one higher than the other (useful to mimic the influence of a cluttered desk arrangement) and you can change the refresh/scale/size separately. This is draggable, and if you drag it from one to the other, you move the primary display. Primary display is governed by which one (in the settings) has the little ‘menu bar’. So far, the prized MacOS seems far inferior to Windows 10, to be honest.īut maybe I can learn some more tricks to make it more said: īut it does not seem to be possible to enter concrete values.Īm I looking in the wrong place? First impressions I tried to change the desktop background to my favourite grey colour.įor this, I wanted to select the 3 Bytes for RGB in form of the usual "#CACACA". I wanted to put several other Apps on the second half, so this is not exactly what I need. I am used to constantly flip Apps to the left and the right side of my monitors.Īs far as I tested, MacOS only allows this in some "full screen" mode, where 2 Apps go into full screen - but then, the desktop is not visible anymore.Īnd also, I cannot flip this App to the left and the other to the right and then flip another App to the right, and so on. Is there no way to prevent this? Screen Arrangement I have a cryptic password that I cannot type from memory, so this is horrible. iCloud Password for App installationĪs it seems, MacOS is asking me for my iCloud password at each App that I install. Is this feature missing from MacOS and I face this problem at each and any reboot? I have one monitor connected by USB-C to DisplayPort cable and another monitor connected by HDMI to HDMI cable, this monitor is on portrait mode.Īfter installing the Big Sur update, MacOS came up with the HDMI-connected portrait monitor as primary display, and of course the login window was shown in landscape mode.Īs Windows user, I am used to see a "primary display" button which always get's honored. The problems that popped up so far: Multiple Displays I tried pretty much everything above for a token app called SecurID we use for VPN access for work.Trying to customize this thing is.
