10.5: Partially tame Time Machine's warping background
Time Machine isn't going to be very useful until Apple opens up the API to third-party developers, and one of them comes up with a less stupid interface and solves the structural flaws. The idiotic background is the least of its problems. I'm more worried about the fact that backups are always writeable by the user who owns the files, so they can be deleted or overwritten by the same runaway process that destroys the originals.

I haven't been able to delete *anything* from a test TM backup -- even files in my own user's directory. I wrote an Automator script that basically did a secure delete of all copies of something from the TM disk. It worked great, except for the fact that it couldn't actually delete the files it found.

Yeah.

Not possible on my TM drive. There's no such checkbox.

I hope all the people who are complaining about the TM interface realise they don't have to use it at all. The entire TM archive is navigable using the Finder.

Did you read my complaint? I have no issues with the interface -- I think the "back in time" analogy is perfect. My complaint is with the (to me) annoying and distracting background *behind* that interface.

it wold be great to have an option to disable the animated interface - it's almost impossible to use it via Remote Desktop on a standard DSL line. |
