You can be editing a document in one app, and you change it&#8217;s name in the Finder (or the Terminal) and the first app notices that and doesn&#8217;t try to save it under the original name. Good job, Apple. All the OSes should do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here&#8217;s the feature I just noticed. I&#8217;m downloading a file (using a non-Safari browser) and I notice that it looks like this in the Finder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"332\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/accretiondisc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/macos-file-completion-finder.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accretiondisc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/macos-file-completion-finder.png 332w, https:\/\/accretiondisc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/macos-file-completion-finder-300x127.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice the grey progress meter next to the file? Pretty slick. I don&#8217;t know what the API requires on the part of the web browser, but it&#8217;s nice that the rest of the OS can be aware the file is open (easy enough) and it&#8217;s 85% done (pretty impressive).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve found it increasingly hard to approve of Apple for the last while (like seven or eight years) so I wanted to point out something I like.
