Is your dock at the bottom of the screen? I've never "poofed" icons
from the dock when it's on the left. I have done that in the sidebar
of Finder windows, but that's easy to fix. It's just another D'Oh
moment, though.
It's not usually my dock... it's other's using computers I am
responsible for...
People are used to looking on the bottom and with Mac's it's very time
consuming to mass load computers if you customize them all a lot...
In the top menu, there's almost always a menu for "Window" which lists
the open windows in a program.
Yes, but that constantly requires a lot of extra mousing and clicking
With many programs and windows open, it wouldn't help to have them in
the Dock since the icons would be too small to see.
I pretty much know where things are by relative position... windows and
programs I was using for a project are adjacent ... and I use Virtual
Desktop Manager to segregate them into smaller groups where the icons
are bigger
Only minimized windows have Dock icons, and only for the program
you're using at the time.
Use Exposé to see or hide all windows.
Nobody but the IT educated know what Expose is... where it is ... nor
how to use it. It's one of the cludges I was referring to. Obviously
it was developed because Apple was aware of the problem / need but they
could have done that by fixing the Finder / Dock where that function
would be readily apparent.
But that probably would make Apple more like windows/ linux... so with
these issues we're talking about they just pridefully continue "cutting
off their nose to spite their face" in not providing a intuitive and
comprehensive fix for the people who need it... the noobs.
The world won't end because of it... but now nice it would be if they
could make OS X shiny and complete.
