I refer you to Floyd's response providing what can best be describes as "arcane":

<snip Floyds example>

Savageduck
Tell me that isn't arcane.

sid
Some people like to use their computer in that manner and if he enjoys doing so good luck to him. He'd be just the same if he used osx.

nospam
only because he refuses to learn anything new.

switching to os x and pretending it's straight unix like it was decades ago misses the whole point of getting os x.

sid
That doesn't mean that Floyds is the only way any more that than yours is the only way.

nospam
it's not that it's the only way, it's that it's a primitive and arcane way.

sid
Clicking an icon is way easier with osx I take it?

Savageduck
Is that supposed to be some sort of OSX put down?

sid
No, of course not. I was pointing out that clicking an icon is the same no matter what os.

nospam
there's a lot more to things than clicking an icon. if only it was so simple.

Savageduck
You aren't familiar with OSX, Lightroom, or Photoshop are you? I sure as Hell don't have to jump through the hoops Floyd has set out above.

sid
I have used osx and I have used photoshop, not lightroom though. I found them to be as alien to me as using my os and software would be alien to you.

nospam
anything new is alien.

the point is that they can do what floyd described with a couple of clicks rather than writing 10,000 line scripts.

is smooth and efficient, without a thought as to the under pinnings of the OS, I am sure the same is true for those using LR & PS in the Windows environment.

sid
As it is for those using a linux os

nospam
linux is hardly smooth and efficient.
