Removing the need to do "Save" every other minute in order to prevent loss is a step in that direction.ĪNYHOW. Apple is always trying to make computers work in a way that you don't have to think about them. I totally understand the frustration of many users (OP included) that Apple decided to change how files save (or specifically, how they by default auto-save), but the idea was to make it more intuitive for new users who are unfamiliar with the "always save your stuff" mantra. You'll see the old quartz filter options are still there. If you are looking for "Save As", you can press Alt to turn the "Duplicate" menu item into "Save as.". What's going on? Do they not care or is it really difficult? Scrolling through PDFs is a dream on the iPad Air 2 but why the frame drops on the rMBP? Apple, please.įrom what I understand, you are having issues with the new document model, not Preview as such. Macs have so much more computing power than iOS devices. Scrolling through iTunes also lags (checked it out on the Mac Pro too, also lags). I opened iTunes, Safari, and iMovie, then activated Mission Control. I went to Apple Store the other day to check out the 5K iMac. Every new iDevice improves the smoothness too, regardless of fancier software features. This is in huge contrast to iOS, where smoothness reigns supreme. It's not enough to make the system unusable but definitely makes it less than pleasant. It seriously feels like they didn't bother to optimize anything when they pushed out new features (Mission Control, Launchpad, Mac App Store, iTunes 11/12, transparency in Yosemite, etc). Here's a rant: I can't tell what's going on with the new OS X releases.

:edit: Well, it seems that I'll just have to stop whining and get used to how the new Preview works. Preview doesn't look appreciably different, it doesn't operate differently, they just removed 'Save As.' and made life a whole load more difficult.

What makes matters worse is that I can't see any real reason as to why Apple did this. I just kind of clicked options and hoped for the best.

The entire process takes a minute or two.Īt home I've just tried to use 10.10 Preview to perform a similar function, and an hour later, I've managed to output a satisfactory file, but I've got no idea how I did it. It's as simple as pressing cmd+shift+s, then saving as pdf, adding my desired quartz filter. pdfs that are entirely readable and a fraction of the size. I use 10.6 Preview at work every day, saving scanned uncompressed. Does anyone else think that Apple have taken what was once a great, simple, powerful app and made it an awful mess in the pursuit of, well, I don't know.
