How great is Lion Resume!? (system state autosave)
Lion Resume (system state autosave) just completely surprised me and surpassed my expectations.
My 2006 Mac Book Pro has a battery that has seen better days. It still holds a charge for a reasonable amount of time, but despite trying to recalibrate the System Management Controller, it will suddenly power off, rather than gracefully go to sleep while it thinks it still has some run time.
I had several apps open, including TextWrangler with never saved “Untitled” windows full of text. The laptop just turned off - no warning. Plugged in, rebooted and Lion began opening all the apps I had open and to my surprise, put all the unsaved text in my unsaved documents in TextWrangler.
And no, it wasn’t a built for Lion version. It’s version 3.5.3 from 10 Jan 2011.
