For the love of baby jebus please let me MERGE directories from Finder.
- like cut/paste files?monospaced
- Just merging directories and only overwriting the files that are named the same. OSX will replace the entire contents of subdirectories when you copy over themhereswhatidid
- sub directories when you copy over them. So Folder A completely replaces Folder B, rather than just the overlapping files they contain.hereswhatidid
- files they contain. This is standard stuff on the Windows side.hereswhatidid
- they already merge in recent versions.ESKEMA
- if you copy the contents of one folder into another, and there are duplicates, you have the choice to overwrite or notmonospaced
- merging is there, you just have to do it slightly differentlymonospaced
- http://support.apple…ESKEMA
- If the folders contain different versions of identically named files, the only options are Stop or Replace.hereswhatidid
- This is the part that wipes the entire directory you're merging rather than combining it's contents.hereswhatidid
- well, that's what a merge is, it either replaces or doesn't replace the duplicatesmonospaced
- you wouldn't lose any documents that were differentmonospaced
- No, a merge is combining things. It's not deleting the non-overlapping files.hereswhatidid
- Yes, you do currently in mavericks. Try making two folders with a few files that have the same name. Then try to merge themhereswhatidid
- merge them. Make sure they have a different amount of files within them so you can compare before and after.hereswhatidid
- I did, the result is a folder with a combination of both folders, and all the duplicates are overwritten (by choice).monospaced
- perfect merge and combination of contentsmonospaced
- maybe I don't understand exactly how you're using it wrong, but I assure you that merging is there and workingmonospaced

In iOS, I want to be able to make Chrome and Google Maps my default. In OSX, I want to be able to AirPlay. I don't expect either of these things to happen since it's their dickness guiding them and not technology or user's needs.
- AirPlay works since 10.8 or souan
- how do you not Airplay already? I airplay everything.ESKEMA
- whatever, man.doesnotexist

airplay also depends on yr computer too. my late 09 iMac doesn't do shit for airplay. :( #firstworldproblem

I can tell you that if the update to osx is as poorly done as the update to ios I won't be upgrading.

That's it. Apple is dead.

Apple has the best UI and product designers in the world. I trust them.

UX updates to systems we use always feel weird at first. That said, after a couple of weeks, I hardly notice the changes (even the ones I was initially skeptical of.)
And if you look back at the ones we were once comfortable with, they often seem pretty clumsy.
So, I figure it's easier to just trust that they're going to do a decent job—because the folks at Apple probably know a lot more about building operating systems than I do.
Besides, the amount of innovation on the desktop is so minimal these days. As such, my life probably won't change much no matter what they do.
Unless they make it like Microsoft Bob.
