    I was hesitant at first to try Stage Manager, since I mainly wanted to use it for the now postponed external monitor functionality. But I’ve started testing it out over the past couple of days and I’m sol on it. At first it felt messy and confusing, but with a little practice it really feels like the promise of multitasking is coming true on iPads. I use a 12.9” Pro, and do a lot of intensive photo editing, and it has worked great so far.

    One litte thing that you find amusing about Stage Manager: every time you move around the frontmost window, the stage manager keeps changing the locations of other (backend) windows, a little bit but fruther enough, so that a fraction of ANY window is ALWAYS visible to you (i.e. no window is completely hidden by others), allowing for you to bring a window you choose to the frontmost just by touching that small part. Try it for yourself!

I almost bought a budget Laptop just because I needed something that can open several windows on my screen at the same time (vacation planning, research, etc) I wasn‘t looking forward to swiping up just to switch from one app to the other all the time. This is such a useful feature!

    Good overview. I just got an iPad 12.9 for use on my boat for navigation, anchor alarm, wind, tides, etc. I'm not a big iPad user so I didn't know this functionality existed. I can see Stage Manager as helpful in having a couple of apps open and visible at once such as wind and anchor alarm while anchored or navigation charts and wind while underway. I will be giving it a try.

    Looks like there are some gaps in the 4 edges. around the triple app windows and slightly in between the windows? Don't think you can get rid of those, right, meaning you can't use the ipad screen to its fullest? Also the view is changed every time the orientation of the the way apps appear on the screen is changed since views are automatically saved.? Meaning if you move the windows within a view around and don't like it, you can't not go back to an earlier version of the view.?

    That is a very well presented demonstration of how Stage Manager works on an iPad. It’s no wonder people get turned off from using SM because it is confusing and annoying if you haven’t seen it simply explained, as it is on this video. It seems to me that SM is basically Split View’s bigger and flashier ‘older brother’, with four-window capacity rather than two, and a few other ‘tricks’. It’s annoying that Apple users have to rely on independent ‘people’ like iDB to do what they should have done in the first place - explain in simple terms how a new ‘product’ works. Thank heavens for people like iDB and Proper Honest Tech. They deserve a pat on the back.

    As a writer I can use Nebo on the landscape mode with a wider window than the vertical mode. I can then have two research windows open I can easily toggle to of the same size. This means I won’t need to carry two tablets when I go out to write. To have different groups of screens separately able to be recalled instantly is brilliant as well. This is seriously useful but I’ve doubts about how my M1 12.9 will handle the load. It will probably do it with ease. My hope for this type of functionality is one of the reasons I purchased the iPad with the M1 chip. The iPad is my main device. Attached Keyboards for me I don’t need, they just get in the way. The iPad Pro is now my professional tool of trade. (I do have a Magic Keyboard I use occasionally.) thanks for the review, it was well laid out and helped me to quickly and easily understand the possibilities of stage manager.

    You could actually have Twitter in full screen, and have your music in a side card, still accessible by one swipe.
    I think the usefulness of this mode comes in when you have a workflow that requires precise and quick switching between multiple app groups.

    It’s funny though, because of "Stage Manager" I‘ve bought an M1 iPad Pro 11° and a M1 IPad Air5. Apropos Air 5, also "Stage Manager" able, not only iPad Pro‘s after 2018.
    Although, I‘ve bought these two iPads mainly because of the "Stage Manager-Feature" I‘ve never really used it, because there wasn‘t any need for it.

  • @omarkawan
    @omarkawan 2 года назад +1

    I have tried Stage Manager to do actual work on my iPad without an external screen. I ended up in every case placing 2 windows side by side. I then realize that the old split screen multitasking setup is better for me. It is just too much work to set up the windows correct in stage manager. You also don’t have enough screen space for such an interface on the iPad screen. Honestly, what benefit, from a productivity point of view, is having 4 windows on the screen? It actually may be counter productive as you may actually be working on 2 screens and the extra apps on the screen are a distract.
    Stage Manager may be designed to work on external screens, where you have bigger screens and are using a mouse. For touch screen use on the iPad screen, I don’t like it

    Stage manager is a good first step, but we really need Mac OS on the iPad. The Mac Mini and iPad Pro/Air have the same M1/2 chipset, the only limit is Apple.
    Unrelated but I thought it was funny that you used Twitter to showcase a larger window, all it did was add more white space. I do think it's a great feature on other apps.

    I love stage manager! It still needs a little polishing but damn as a casual it makes my use so enjoyable

    I am getting tired of iOS resizing my windows to the size it thinks I should have my windows whenever I move anything around. I turned off stage manager.
