679: An Adversarial Relationship With Myself
https://atp.fm/679
Solar and batteries vs. generators, news about Perl (?!), hiding apps as a self-improvement tool, and the age-old debate of "Save As…" vs. "Duplicate", which we basically only see in Preview now.
@atpfm @marcoarment @siracusa @caseyliss You can get back the old Save As model.
I use hybrid of auto save and Save As so I have the benefits of auto saving with the mental model of using Save As.
In Desktop & Dock disable “Close windows when quitting an application”
In Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts create an entry under All Applications for Save As… with Command Shift S (to make the ellipse you must type option-semicolon)
@ridogi @atpfm @marcoarment @siracusa @caseyliss This unfortunately does not even work reliably in Apple’s own apps. I have the same setup as @ridogi. Try the following in TextEdit and Pages:
1. Create a new document, add content, save it
2. Quit the app
3. Reopen, edit, do not save
4. Quit again
5. Open Pages/TextEdit (autosaved version appears)
6. Close document and choose “Revert Changes”
iWork persists the autosaved version instead of reverting it. TextEdit/Pixelmator works as expected
