Get a real finder/file manager, Path Finder is what I'm using until Apple decides to fix this glaring problem.

Sorry to hear that. Next time make sure you install any betas on a different partition and not on 3 computers at the same time.

Sorry you feel that way. You made it seem like you didn't because you were just complaining about a non-issue if you did install it on a different partition. You made it seem like you were dumb enough to install it on 3 different computers at the same time and then went to a blog that really no one cares about just to complain about it. I was just giving you advice for next time but now that I know that you actually know what you are doing I apologize for giving you a piece of advice.

These blogs are to help those with less knowledge and although I agree to the original comments above ie 'developer editions are for developers', we all need some humility to accept our faults and help others with less knowledge. I've developed on many platforms and have just come back to OSX and IOS after swapping between Windows and Unix for years... Most recently developing for VR kit. I've had HUGE support from developers across the globe and hate to see negative comments. The stereo typical OSX developer is one that hides behind a curtain of pretentious elitism, the fact is the use of OSX is still the minority OS in the real world. I work in the health area and will be working on some exciting new projects I hope my fellow OSX/IOS developers will be a little more helpful. Apologies for my abrupt nature, bad timing as the beta update prior to an important meeting was a little stressful...

I feel bad cause my job doesn't depend on stuff like this and I never thought about it that way. Hope everything works in your favor.

Hopefully this will fix that audio problem from last update that got my iMac without any sound...?
