Big Sur - New/Open/Save dialog box -size won't save

That’s odd. I know I followed this terminal command prior to the update, which didn’t work, but now, after the update, it works correctly. Hopefully this will help.

As I mentioned in an earlier comment on Page 6, the sizing is fixed in that it is remembered every time you reopen the same Open/Save dialog. However, the Sidebar only saves once. If you close the Open/Save dialog without modifying the Sidebar, it will revert to its minimum width the next time you bring up the same Open/Save dialog.

Also, the position of the Open/Save dialog does not save. Its center snaps back to the center of the screen every time you reopen the same Open/Save dialog.

I’ve reported those bugs during the last beta before RC1, but they persist in RC2. I haven’t tried RC3 yet.

OK, we might be talking about two different things. I'm, referring to the left side of the 'open/save/save as' dialog box, where the Favorites are listed. . You can't increase the width of it until you increase the size of the entire dialog box by dragging one of the corners.

You can then increase the width, enabling viewing of the entire folder name. To do that, hover the cursor over the vertical line just to the right of the folder names.

Since it apparently used to work in 11.0 and 11.0.1, it sounds like a bug that slipped through. Hopefully solved in 11.1.1 or 11.2.

Yes. Absolutely - I feel the same way! Please update, thanks.

Only you can let Apple know. We can’t do anything about it. As already mentioned, use the Feedback page to let Apple know.

I believe it is marked as solved because it has been confirmed that it will be corrected in the next update.

The Sidebar is fixed in the next version.

I complained and Apple deleted the post - unacceptable.

What we all need is an immediate update.

Apple - please ensure you release 11.2 immediately and make sure that any dialogue box that is resized is remembered - at the very least by the app - but I personally would prefer globally.

Globally - I would appreciate it if the dialogue box was full screen height or at least application window height [so not to cover the top menu bar] and two panes wide.

So the options are:

• minimum width
• minimum height
• release a non-beta version of BS immediately

Thanks.

Apple is working towards a singular OS across all devices that will eliminate all practical use for professional designers world-wide. So we'll have to get used to designing logos with just a library of pre-made emojis. Seems to be a never-ending new supply of those, not that we need any more, they just keep coming while the OS itself dwindles away to non-existence.

Oh... wow... it's even worse. Just working on a project downloading different stock image samples, and when I create a folder in Safari to save an image, the image doesn't got into that folder., it remains outside in the main folder. Even worse, when I scroll the main folder and type in a letter in the subfolder pane to the right to get to that folder, it pops me back into the main folder list.

Can anyone else confirm this? Please test.

Would appear it's not just a bug fix, appears it's a complete OS rewrite.

Nowhere near enough work was done on Big Sur to ensure it was properly tested before release.

Really disappointing.

I spoke with a senior Apple support person today and showed him what we’ve been talking about. He’s aware of this thread as well. We did a screen recording of the issue and took diagnostic info from my computer about the problem. He’s submitting it to the engineering team and I have a follow up call next week. Will keep you posted.

Wow OK I also find this really annoying.... I hope they fix this in whatever the next update is... It seems like when they made the window resizeable by the right bottom corner they somehow disabled the remember size
