Still seemed odd to me why a preview doesn't have such a basic continuous function, since other native options for other OSS aren't full blown editors either. I think this picture function has been around in other OS for over a decade now?
Especially with more people who use phones or tablets than desktop OS it seems like coming into MacOS and opening a file to look at a larger preview and being able to continuously look with no additional steps would be the behavior they'd expect.
This is the one thing that has confused me more than the default windows snap behavior or the scaling options for external monitors, since it is so basic I never expected to not be a thing in any OS released these days.
Yeah, I've used MacOS before but now getting one I intend to use personally after having last used a mac laptop years back it's been a lot of apps I've had to retrieve from outside the official app store compared to Linux. I've been pretty happy with the default Linux and Windows desktop behavior out the box, but with MacOS have had to look for bunch of apps to modify the desktop experience.
At least there's apps and programs for most of the simplification or functions I've been looking for. Was the reason for my title of Linux and Windows users, since they might be the ones more likely to go against the grain.
Still Apple is absolutely unrivaled when it comes to the price category the macmini falls into. Not going to get better hardware than what the macmini line goes for and overall very pretty UI and a sleep function that actually works.
And yeah the profile Pic you mentioned seems like an issue that would eventually have popped up haha. I've been putting photos I want synced to icloud separate from those I want to actually save, since got annoying deleting photos I just needed temporarily from iCloud after the storage started filling up from the iPad uploading everything with no exclusion seeming to be built in.
