Battlesman Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Anyone out there in Accordance-land tried El Capitan? How does it work? Successful? Smooth? The split screen feature is really enticing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Hey – I think the split screen is for iOS 9. I agree. It looks nice. I also liked the features of El Capitan. I know of at least one person at Accordance who is running the El Capital beta. I hope he'll post and let us know what he thinks. I would imagine that there are others as well. Here's a post from MacRumors. Edited June 13, 2015 by Julie Falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I played with it a little. So far, so good.Julie, EC has a split screen feature, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I missed that. Please keep us posted on your impressions. Should we be concerned that the split screen in the new OS X and iOS might have neurological side effects?

R. Mansfield Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 BTW, I've been using BetterSnapTool on the Mac for two or three years. It's not quite the same as the new split screen feature, but it has a similar result. It allows you to place programs evenly side by side. You can also make a window full screen by pushing it to the top of the screen. I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia Falling Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hey, guys – Any danger in granting BetterSnapTool access to Security & Privacy in System Prefs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Not in any way that I'm aware. Since it is in the Mac App Store, it should be properly sandboxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Looks very interesting. Seems like it would be especially handy when working on a small screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Julie, I though you were a BetterTouchTool User, and I am pretty sure that BST is a subset of BTT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Ken – I used to use BTT all the time. But I kept having issues with unintended things happening. I set it up to do what I wanted, but it was really easy to have stuff happen when I didn't want it to happen. So I'm back to doing things the old way. And that's OK.

Ken Simpson Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Oh, OK. No problems. But I must admit, when I use a mac without BST I feel very hobbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) I use Spaces a lot. Space 2 is devoted to Accordance; Space 3 to Numbers & Pages (don't do much Keynote now that we're not teaching). Space 1 is for Mail, Safari, iTunes, NewsFire – I think that's where BST may really be handy. It's downloaded and installed. I'll play with it more tomorrow and see how it works out. I also use App Expose and Expose all the time with the three-finger swipe down or up. I am one of those people who really doesn't like to have windows from a bunch of applications all stacked on top of one another, so BST should be very useful.

David Voth Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Split screen won't work on my iPad mini, but hopefully on my Mac. Apple Insider posted an article about the split screen feature on the Mac. I did learn from the keynote though that I can use a four finger gesture to slide between recently used apps on the iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlesman Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 A related note, now that OS X allows for the Finder file path to be copied (see here http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/06/10/el-capitan-little-features/) does this mean we could add into an Accordance user note the precise location of a PDF article that might be helpful for a certain passage? Maybe this has already been possible and I just didn't know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveP Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I haven't noticed any real problems with Accordance in "El Capitan", but I also put iOS9 beta on my iPad and I couldn't sync between the desktop and the iPad. I reverted the iPad to iOS8 and the problem went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Dustin, The current User Notes won't accept such a link, though the upcoming "new and improved" version will. (Be patient!) However, you can insert a variety of links into a User Tool. See Accordance Help>Digging Deeper > Creating Your Own Modules > User Tools > Create Links in User Tools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Arnold Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Really like the split screen feature on El Capitan. And really looking forward to using Accordance that way... (That would actually go for iOS too...) Thanks for the great work you guys (Accordance developers) are doing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
