![]() ![]() Receipts can easily be downloaded when logging in to a new computer and easily voided when no longer valid. Receipts are generated from app name, app version, and system id, and digital signed. The way it works is every application is responsible for finding and validating a digitally signed receipt when their app starts. Users don’t have to be logged in like Steam in order to run an app. Simple receipt system – Apple Mac Store pretty much nailed it on this one. No need for separate company logins, everyone can just use their personal accounts. Companies should be able to add and remove employees from a company account and assign software to different users. Multi user accounts – Families should be able to easily add kids to their account and purchase software for them. Multi system – A single login should be usable on up to 5 systems. ![]() Ideally you wouldn’t have to pay more for a different platform, but enforcing that rule may discourage publishers from putting in the time to port code. On the flip side, web purchasing should also be enabled and publishers should be able to embed a framed version of the store in their website to make transactions more fluid.īuy once, run anywhere – Publishers should be able to set options on whether applications are purchased once for all platforms or require small payments for additional platforms beyond the first one. Platform Integration – The app store cannot be web only, it has to come with an installable store that manages your applications and lets you browse for new apps to purchase. That said, in order to really take off it would probably need support from some of the major cross platform vendors like Adobe. OS/Vendor Agnostic – The perfect app store needs to work consistently across Windows, Mac, and Linux, and the only way to establish impartiality is to make sure none of the big vendors *own* the store. The following is my wishlist for the perfect desktop app store, basically it takes the best parts of Steam and the best parts of the Mac App Store and combines them. How those are doing.Since releasing my first app to the Mac App Store I’ve been thinking about how I wish I had more options available to me as both a developer and consumer. Hm, I always wonder about those Airs with 128GB SSDs. If you want to know lot more about what is used and how, get the Space gremlin Pro or similar tool, which will enumerate content of your drive in much higher detail. On the other hand, my own documents data are separated with higher specificity. Simply, OSX puts under "System" stuff some of us would not consider system (like applications). I think the "System" name here is confusing as when I look in detail what is used using Space Gremlin Pro, System itself is only 10Gb, there is 28Gb of "restricted" files Space Gremlin cannot read, there is 31Gb of applications, 13Gb is system Library, something usr and private, etc. ![]() But until then it would be ill advised to suggest anything else.įor your information, on my MackBook Pro the system is reported (by "About this Mac") also as 115 - 130Gb, varies a bit (probably local backups). We all did.Īfter you have working (=TESTED) backup, ideally two independent backups, you can try to fix whatever is wrong with your system, if anything is. Fixing OS (any OS) is dangerous, you can do a lot of damage really quickly. Way too many people come here and cry, that their system/drive/computer is dead, that they did something (insert any of : smart, stupid, accidental.) and now their data are gone and that they have all these (insert: very important work data, memories, pictures, tax records.) and they must have them back.Īll drives fail. But before you even try to keep "fixing" anything, make sure you have way to get back. STOP!!!! Before you do anything else, get some backup method. OK, after you spend some time on this forum, you will understand that the best advice ANYONE can give you at this moment is: ![]()
