Lion

The moniker for OSX 10.7, released via the App Store on 2011-07-20.

This page holds what little notes I have on it (the and pages are mostly applicable as well, since very little in those became deprecated).

Notes

Desired Effect What To Do
Remove duplicates from the Open With menu /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Bugs

The initial build had a somewhat odd bug in which a corrupted Trash folder would cause repeated crashes, which could be fixed by doing:

sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash

Miscellaneous Notes
