Expose change? Can't see all my apps.

For some reason, Expose is only showing me my currently selected app. This is useless. Is there some sort of setting that can make Expose work like it did in SL?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

I don't think that's how it is suppose to work. If you look at the example image under the trackpad system preferences setting for app expose, it shows all apps that are open plus the windows that are mimized.


I am having the same issue where only my current app shows when I swipe 3 fingers down. This must be a bug in the software. Otherwise, this setting makes no sense.


I think app expose is supposed to be used so you don't have to use MC everytime you want to switch between apps within the same space. That makes good sense to me, if it works of course.

Sorry, but I disagree. That's exactly how App Expose should work. It reveals only the windows within that app. It shows the open ones and the minimised ones, and the video in Trackpad preferences shows that too.

Open 4 windows in Safari, minimise one, do the 3-finger swipe down and then you'll see your 3 open windows plus the minimised one below.

To do what you suggest would be pointless as that is what MC does.
