So, if you have the #Apple Pro Video Codecs are installed on your Mac, the integrated video player in #NeoFinder can play Sony MXF video files! Pretty cool!

You get these codecs when you use Final Cut Pro #fcpx and other Appl apps...

Sigh.

The update to #macOS 14.5 "Sonoma" has been as unpleasant as expected.

After downloading many gigabytes, macOS got stuck for more than HALF AN HOUR, doing some undisclosed "Preparing".
This is just BS, I checked what happened, and a secret Apple tool named "UpdateBrainService" was slowly crunching away with a lousy 99% CPU. And that on one of the fastest Macs ever been built.

Really, #Apple, that is the best you can do?

And now, the Mac is crippled by dozens of "mdworker_shared" processes, because for EVERY SINGLE macOS update, as small as it is, Spotlight needs to reindex ALL DATA, slowing down macOS for many more hours.

Tim, you should be ashamed, really.

And now the real fun begins, because in the next days, we need to find out what NEW bugs Apple has added to macOS 14.5.

Das ist echt lange her, so Mac OS X 10.9 maximal.

Furchtbar.

@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

And yes, the ugly and buggy "System Settings" in #macOS 14.5 still crash and hang all the time.

#Apple, where are the bugfixes?
This is such a disturbing #BugFest

@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

@westfeld

Das würde vor allem Apple mal Zeit geben, die vorhandenen Bugs zu beheben, oder wenigstens ein paar davon.

Statt dessen muß aus dumpfen Marketinggründen jedes Jahr eine Sammlung doller neuer Features präsentiert werden, die eigentlich keiner braucht.

Aber daß in die "punkt" Releases jetzt so viele neue Bugs eingebaut werden, ist neu für macOS 14, in den Vorjahren waren diese Releases einigermaßen stabil...

I totally love what the is able to see, such as this new and exciting image of the Horsehead Nebula, where you can see loads of galaxies.

Absolutely amazing!

The image from even contains a very detailled description, and metadata in the AVM format, which my NeoFinder for macOS software of course catalogs, displays, and allows you to search.

Fascinating!

Yeah, we got lots of requests to add these three additional data fields to the already very versatile Icon View in , so here they are:

EXIF Lens Name, Camera Name, and Camera Maker.

And yes, you can sort these, too.

There's people arguing that the Apple Crush! ad is "neat" and "fun".

It's literally showing the wanton destruction of things we love and make us human. Including shots that makes you identify with the things as a viewer.

I don't understand what's wrong with people. Do they not have emotions?

cdfinder,
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

@thomasfuchs

OMG, I just watched that ad, and it is so awful, really awful. Just plain trash.
But I am not surprised that Apple chose it.

I think that in the blaze of counting the trillions $$$, Apple really forgot what the Mac and then iOS users once really loved about the platform.

Hint: It wasn't this.

The Photo Contact Sheet in my NeoFinder software for macOS is a great way to generate a PDF document of your photo library, and the new version has more customizations than ever.
Check it out!

Really, macOS 14 is such a #BugFest

And yeah, it is the latest version 5.1 of "SF Symbols.app", and of course, this message lies, as the app is actually NOT damaged, and can be launched with the "open" contextual menu command.

This is such a bad joke, really... #Apple

"Thinner"

Really?

It is 2024, and that is what #Apple still thinks as awesome?

Sorry, but no. #iPad

Since when does AVPlayerView install its own context menu with weird and unwanted "sharing" commands, overriding the menu I have set myself?

Sigh. Is there documentation for that? I couldn't find anything...

#Apple #AppKit #Developer #macOS #Sonoma

cdfinder,
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

I fixed it!

You can use "allowsVideoFrameAnalysis" property on the AVPlayerView to deactivate this unwanted thing.

Of course, this is NOT documented in the official #Apple #AppKit release notes, which were always suspiciously short:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/appkit-release-notes-for-macos-13

I only found a reference to that in #WWDC 2022 video 10026.

What if the mobile user flow would be:

  1. You form an intent
  2. You select the function that fulfils this intent
  3. You open the function and perform the function

Just finished “Record of a Spaceborn Few,” by Becky Chambers

Set in the same universe as (and with some references to) her “The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet,” and “A Closed and Common Orbit,” this is a another lovely, humane look at community, belonging, history and intentionality.

Das Backend der Deutschen Bahn geht immer noch nicht?

Herrlich, wenn man ein Deutschlandticket hat, und es dann nicht bei einer Kontrolle vorzeigen kann.

Wer haftet eigentlich für diesen Fall?

The list of supported RAW file formats in 8.6 is getting longer and longer, and this time we have added the Olympus ".ORI" format to be cataloged, with thumbnails and metadata...

And another in 14.4.1 that never bothered to fix.

Is 17.4.1 really 17.4.1? Or what?

This one is laughable, but it shows the complete lack of quality control from Apple these days.

And yes, that one has been around at least for three years, we had reported it, but hey.

cdfinder,
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

@arnan

Yeah, totally!

Their software quality is so unbelieveable bad, crazy really. They should be ashamed.

cdfinder,
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

@luigigreco

Wow, sure, that is possible, but:

I am not sure if that is not even worse? Apple releasing the name version again, and no way for a user to determine that? That is really really bad.

And also, this information in the Finder window was still so wrong before.

It is only SEVEN years after we had reported this glaring and obvious bug in the ExFAT driver of macOS, and yes, it is still here today in #macOS 14.4.1 #sonoma

No, #Apple, that drive has NOT been created or updated in January 1970.

How I wish Apple would actually start fixing their bugs for once.

And yes, the ExFAT driver in macOS has a LOT more bugs.

#BugFest

cdfinder, to macos
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

Wow, it is #macOS 14.4.1 already, and we are still getting these stupid untitled and misleading "notifications" from the badly designed and completely undocumented "security" features in macOS when adding a launch item.

Oh #Apple.
We had reported this dangerous and stupid bug two years ago already, but of course Apple has ignored it, like thousands of other bugs.

macOS #Sonoma is such a horrible #BugFest
