Q: Regular Expose in Lion

Very good comment Henry, I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro but have no intention of installing it on my main work machine mac pro.

I have to say I agree here.  I found the combination of expose and spaces in leopard to be incredably useful.  Mission control is much more cumbersome, especially if you are not using a multi-touch track pad.  I may try to go back to snow leopard.

I WANT EXPOSE, not app expose, BACK!

and how bout letting me move the DESKTOPS arround (while in mission control) ? kind of like how you could move spaces arround.

Thanks Bill,

I ended up doing a fresh install of SL last night, and installed an app which does the only thing I did like about Lion, the inverted scrolling - http://blog.pilotmoon.com/post/4041089648/scroll-reverser-get-in-practice-for-li on.

Now its perfect, so nice to back to a functional os.

And Lion is still available for me to redownload at no extra cost, if and when I choose to get it again...if they ever fix the these issues.

dwb and all,

The feature offered by Expose that I relied upon for increased productivity is switching windows automatically to the app I now need.

It appears this may be a bug.

I use a browser-based database for my work, which offers a link to "send an email". In SL the email would be generated and the Space would move me to the screen I use for MAIL.

In Lion I am experiencing that these messages I've generated appear to be "stuck" between desktops (spaces).

Any fixes known?

There is a known issue with Safari getting 'stuck' more like lost and it is fixed by showing Safari in all Windows temporarily then switching it back to show in this window. Is this the bug you are referring to? I've seen a couple other programs mentioned but it seems to affect Safari most often. If this isn't it, try describing it a gain. I'm slow sometimes, but I usually finish the race.

thanks for getting back on this dwb!

I was using Firefox 6.0.2.

Typically when I clicked "send email" from a webform SL would switch me over to the "desktop" or "space" that I was running Mail on, and then create a new message for me to send.

Since installing Lion my experience is that it will work if both apps are in the same space, but if Mail is on a different "space" or "desktop" then these created messages are not accessible. I know they were actually created because when I hit <cmd> <arrow> I see them between my desktop/spaces.

Does that make sense?

** Came in this AM, and did not experience the issue ** I'm a genius, I fixed it!

Has anyone figured this ? 

Expose WAS useful now it's painful. 

Somethings when you get them right you should NOT F with it.  Apple! 

Why I cannot see my 6 desktops and drag windows or arrange them in that view any longer?!  ****** off.

I know this thread is outdated but it should not be... again... am I missing something?

Please bring back my old Expose!  It was one of the main things when I showed Windows users that they were like... WOW!

Now it's just fing lame.

One of the most frequently used functions for me has been to:

1. show all windows on a desktop

2. switch to another window

3. copy something

4. show all windows

5. back to original windows and paste

This has become such a pain under Lion.

@Apple: please restore the show all windows on a desktop (for all applications)

Apple please fix expose and spacesthe way they used to work on snow leopard. Mission control is a dud - please kill it.

No!

YES

The thing that I really miss is the file name under the window. Four xcode or word windows can all look remarkably simaler in privews. I did send apple this feedback.

first postjobs dumb from apple... I want the expose back seriously... Why did they copy the dumb win7 grouping idea?

1) if you think this was post Jobs I'm betting you were wrong.

2) lots of us like it better than the old way.
