macOS Stage Manager: I hate that I LOVE it!

[@nan5281]

Ok looks like im first here! I discovered you channel by accident in the summer because one of your videos was recommended to me. I'm not a tech savvy and I've been watching your videos mostly because i really like your voice. 😅 But i must say i always learn something new from your videos and I'm more than happy i subscribed. Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much. I appreciate it!

A shortcut for opening an app in the same space, as well as per-desktop stage manager on/off are great suggestions! With those additions, stage manager would fit into my workflow nicely. Also, your take that stage manager is for single-task focus as opposed to multitasking is interesting. I can see that being the case. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, just a different approach. Great video!

Thanks so much for watching Joshua!

it’s def for single task.

I feel that Misson Control does the same thing but better. Can use keyboard shortcuts and mouse/pad gestures. Stage Manager feels like it's a step backward in how it is implemented. Am I missing something?

I just use separate Desktops and move between them with a three finger swipe left/right. That way I can have snap-to-fit functionality (from Magnet / Better Touch Tools) to make 4 apps fit on the whole screen and still switch between app sets easily. This stage manager does what I have been doing for years, but worse.

As I am pretty used to decluttering the desktop by using the multiple desktops feature (called spaces on mac I guess), I wonder why they created another approach to do the same kind of things… Feels a bit redundant, doesn’t it ?

[@RyansTechMedia]

That's a good point Benjamin and to be honest this is one of the reasons I'd like to see this feature complement desktops. Currently it feels a bit limited and it would be great if we could enable it for each desktop separately.

I think some people might prefer to have 4 different "Stages" in 1 desktop rather than having 4 different desktops, as some people don't really like virtual desktops, because it's more disconnected, or slower or whatever reason they think. Another reason might be that some people want to use Stage Manager WITH different desktops. You might have different Desktops for different purposes (work, entertainment, social media, etc) but then having Stage Manager in each desktop to have different apps related to that desktop (e.g. Work: Visual Studio Code, Browser, Terminal).

I actually use the stage manager feature along with multiple desktops... I hated it the first few times I tried it but once I understood the idea behind it, I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. Feels like having multiple workbenches in my garage with each bench having multiple drawers. Really, I love this stage manager.

I actually like Stage Manager, but only on my iPad Pro, and not so much on my MBP when using multiple monitors. If Stage Manager is to keep the app windows organized into groups to better manage multitasking, they should have a single Stage Manager dock for all screens, and not separate ones. It doesn't make sense to me that each screen has its own layouts. Personally, I would rather have one stage manager with the appropriate apps opened, and as I switch to different groups, all monitors will retain the app position and such. I guess Stage Manager is more for single screen uses IMO.

[@VynZography]

OMG you are so right. If you look at this as a way to focus, then it suddenly makes sense. Unless I want say, a calculator hovering over the document I'm working on....then it's a bit weird.

[@tamalchakraborty5346]

I like stage manager. As much as I hated it at launch, I saw myself using it more often. I am happy more people are jumping into this. This is good especially for old people. And to be honest, a large amount of people, dont multitask on their mac.

[@razorbackroar]

i hate it man it’s trash. i can’t even do anything multi screen unless i force split screen. like i want an app open while i drag & drop files you know. it’s so close to being perfect.

[@LeetPatches]

Great video! I really hope Apple implements at least some of your ideas as well.

[@omarnada5502]

I am confused between buying samsung Galaxy buds 2 pro and its price (210), and buying Airpods 3 and its price (263) Or Sony link buds S (250) Soundcore liberty 3 pro (169) Or Headphone such as soundcore Q30 (121) I'll use it for listening to music and watching videos mostly I want a warmer sound and I need the best sound quality I won’t use ANC more or less I will use it only when I am in the car or in the mall not traveling or something like that Are there any other options?? Please give me an answer

[@RyansTechMedia]

If you have a Samsung, I recommend the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. I've received many positive feedback about them and I also really like them personally. And when driving the car, please don't use the ANC, it's very dangerous!

[@omarnada5502]

@@RyansTechMedia Thanks 🙏 for the reply❤️

[@funhaos]

of course your like it.

[@cappuccino--]

I had no idea we could hide it. Thanks for the great video!

[@RyansTechMedia]

No worries!

[@steveox4971]

Great video. I agree with your suggestions and I think having it on and off in each desktop separately would definitely solve some of my problems!
