So today I learned that #apple #ipad #stagemanager only allows you to have four apps open, and if you open a fifth, it arbitrarily (and silently) closes an app you previously "staged." (Don't get me started about not allow me to size or move my apps they way I want to.)

Things like this tell me that the programmers and designers don't use their tools for real world work. 😂 Real problem when trying to do real work on a supposedly Pro version of a device.

I generally like on Mac and use it nearly all the time (I turn it off during Zoom calls)

One thing I would like to do is “pin" an app. I always want my daily note window in Obsidian to be visible on the left side of my screen. But whenever I change "stages”, I need to shift-click the Obsidian window to bring it back into view.

I just want it to stay there and have all the other windows dance around it.

I feel like there should be a way to recreate 's layout between boots. The multi desktop feature seems to do this. I gotta dig.

My phone just autocorrected 'Stage' to 'Sausage'.

I've decided to leave it in my show report for the day.

Google handles on Mac very poorly.

In what world do I want a new stage created when I drag a tab to a new window? That’s insane.

I’m probably dragging the tab to a new window so I can see both windows at the same time, right?

Can I open a new app directly into a preexisting "stage" in stage manager for Mac?

Context: I have a stage where I keep my calendar and email open, but I would like to add the settings app to it. The default behavior is to make a new stage for every new app opened, then force the user to drag apps between stages. Is there a keyboard key or something that will just add a newly opened app to the currently opened...

I'm glad that Stage Manager got some attention on the iPad this year, even though I don't use an iPad, because it shows Apple is committed to the feature. I've been using it full-time on macOS since around this time last summer, and at this point I have no plans to go back.

thelazzyone,

@maxleibman I started to exclusively use on so that I could be familiar when I am use it with my . I am finally use it ..

In retrospect, in looks less like a new system of window management and more like a way to get app developers to prepare their apps for .

I was online with today - and wasn’t able to send a toot? How is it possible to remove the icons over the button to post? Exited Stagemanager and everything was fine.

I’m a big fan of @AppleSupport videos. They are great.

BUT.

Watch this “How to use Stage Manager” explainer. They do their best, but to me, this just highlights what a tough sell Stage Manager is.

Feels like a solution in search of a problem. 🤔
