Save a file from any application into a directory, say an Affinity Designer file. Then, export another version (jpg) from the same file and same application right after that and it will show a totally different directory, presumably the last directory you've exported that file type. Can't only be me who is annoyed by the behaviour, can it?

#342> Apple Pay: Card Icon Changes Address This has been driving me nuts. The old design was perfect. Who could possibly think this made sense?
It's even done the right way on Mac OS! Infuriating.

> But that’s ok because big rewrite of subsystem is gonna ship next release and it’ll probably make all the bugs invalid, right? Right? Well, it certainly won’t have more bugs, right? Right? They keep doing them, but I wonder to what degree these rewrites are necessary, and whether your average Apple engineer is aware that they end up with more bugs and vulnerabilities than they started. Surely they've gotta know?
People look at the backlog of issues, see all the things they don't like about $subsystem, and think to themselves "we ought to rewrite this". The incentives are all aligned to make this common. Project managers get a nice chunk of work to manage, engineers get to write things their way, managers get a nice thing to add to their accomplishments, everyone feels like progress is happening. Heck, sometimes there may act…
Why not have a "rewrite policy", criteria for when a rewrite makes sense or doesn't? Surely a random engineer can't decide to rewrite things on his own.

#344The macOS login screen is broken since basically forever. Opening a macbook lid and choosing another user than the one already selected is a PITA. I can't even remember it working. And I have the issue on 3 macbooks.
Choosing another user on the current macOS is horrible beyond any corporate standards. Clicking a different user has a 2 second delay without any animation, and any interaction ("wait, have I clicked it?") in that time cancels it. Like no one has multiple users on their computers in the whole management chain? No one cares?

I frankly believe that those people are so rich that they obviously own at least one computer per family member.

On the same note, airdrop doesn’t work when multiple users are logged in. It’s rocket science to switch airdrop advertisements to currently active user, I guess..
Oooh so that's the reason !

#346Earlier quoted context omitted.
And yet Apple CREATED the multiple-accounts problem for millions of people by implementing their idiotic "Apple ID must be an E-mail address" policy. So of course people thought that when they changed jobs, cable companies, or whatever... they needed to create a new Apple ID with their new E-mail address. This was reinforced when Apple further stupidified their policy by requiring your ID to be a WORKING E-mail addre…
Maybe in the 90's before Gmail came about so everyone still used their university or ISP email accounts.
Hotmail came in the mid 90s, Yahoo Mail followed soon, I don't think Apple was cloudy at all back then.
I suppose those mail services were "cloud"...

#347Please add to the list "Launching Apple Music without you wanting to, at the worst possible moment", which is every moment, really.
There is even an app called noTunes to automatically close it. I've seen it get into a loop where it opens every single time it's closed. Of course Apple music is selling a subscription service when the app opens so no surprise why they open it.
I have that app installed and for some reason it's started failing me recently...

#348Audio balance issues: for some reason on macOS the left right balance for audio will just change from being centered???
At least 6 years old.

Still around as of 2025: https://www.techradar.com/computing/mac-os/its-2025-and-appl...
There’s a dedicated applet to fix this…

You have to reach a human to make a Flickr account in 2025 if you use a custom domain. It wasn't too difficult, they gave me some reason about abuse. Whatever.
What does custom domain mean? Just an email provider other than the mainstream ones?
You purchase your own domain name and use that domain name as your email address. For instance, if I had an email address that was me@afandian.com; the afandian.com would be a custom domain. It's not routed to @gmail.com, it's routed to @afandian.com. Now in practice you can have a custom domain and still have it managed by Google's Mail servers; but it's the domain name itself that sends up the flags.

#350Trying to type this comment on an iPhone and that very last issue, text selection, is so so real. It’s probably the single biggest thing I hate about this phone that makes me consider switching back to Android (I was on Android for 12 years before trying out an iPhone for 3 years atm, and in general, on average, I can’t tell the difference… they both have strengths and flaws. Text selection is a pretty massive flaw o…
you can enable cursor control by holding space, and then you can move to selection mode by touching anywhere else on the keyboard.
Yet on Android you can simply tap exactly where you want the cursor to be placed. It's a much superior experience.
