Restoring from a Backup

<< < (4/4)

blgentry:
It does feel a little bit like a video game installing MC.  I would welcome the removal of auto import countdown on install.  I've stated that same opinion since the feature was introduced about 7 years ago.  That would make it a little less cumbersome to install it.

Thanks for listening.

JimH:
You should be able to click to stop the countdown.  You should have 45 seconds to do that.  Apple doing it's own thing might cause problems.

blgentry:
I was able to stop the countdown all 3 times for each install yesterday.  It works just fine.  However there is a sense of time urgency.  When you launch MC, the permissions dialogs come up almost immediately.  If you click on MC, you kind of lose the dialog behind all of your other windows.  So you really want to click the dialog and then go set the permissions inside of Mac System Preferences.  Meanwhile, the countdown timer is running.

That's why I said it's like a game:   You have to figure out what to click and when so you don't lose anything *and* make the countdown before it begins importing files.  This has to be done on each MC launch until you import a Library Backup.  This is generally at least twice, as MC asks for permissions in batches and MC RESTARTS after you apply some of these permissions.  Each time with the import timer ticking away.

It works fine.  I made it through it.  It would be better without the auto import timer.

Please avoid the default of auto-import.

Yes, please

JimH, will know the true numbers, but I reckon there are probably more existing users who are upgrading from one version of MC to a newer one, and therefore would want to migrate their library, settings, etc. from  the older version to the newer one, than there are New Users installing MC for the 1st Time.
