Your experience with a new interface will be improved by making use of the affordances it offers rather than lamenting the ones it does not. To do otherwise is akin to eating soup with a fork.
- jsankey 17y agoYour comment might be more constructive if your offered the OP a solution to their actual problem of tiling two windows (or perhaps the underlying need to compare the contents of two windows easily). What affordances does OSX offer in this respect?
- GHFigs 17y agoThe problem of tiling two windows is one with many solutions, one of which is the submission itself. As to the actual problem expressed by the OP, my comment addresses that.
- euroclydon 17y agoWho doesn't need to occasionally view two windows at once? Is that not one of the affordances that OSX offers. By the way, do I need to list all the feature of OSX that I do use for you not to assume I don't use them?
- GHFigs 17y agoYou are not talking about just viewing two windows at once. You are talking about a very particular way of doing so, which is the way you are used to. Everyone experiences this with all kinds of interfaces. If a new interface does not work that particular way, you have the options of: adapting yourself to the interface, adapting the interface to yourself (e.g. with third-party software), rejecting the interface, or complaining about the interface on message boards. I happen to believe that the former options are preferable to the latter. And no, I do not need you to list anything. This is not a macho pissing match and I am not insulting your manhood. Use what works best for you.
