Visio doesn't understand Aero Peek
-
it'll happily just download a .dmg file on Windows. Great user experience, there.
You would rather they block you from downloading if you are on Windows? ?

They've gotten smarter about that.
In which version? It works in 2010 - I did it yesterday.

I have three visio documents open. Which one was which again?
Not that hard to tell, the screenshot contains clear clues:Yes it's still OS X-only, and charmingly the download link on their website doesn't bother checking/asking what OS you use so it'll happily just download a .dmg file on Windows. Great user experience, there.
This is par for the course for many sites that offer Windows-only apps, in my experience.

Yes, but I named them poorly: the new process, which involves deploying using powershell, also involves new servers. I wanted the diagram with the servers. Turned out to be Drawing2.
Still defeats the purpose of Aero Peek, given it provides no new information that a list of titles (the old method) wouldn't give me.

How does an application even mess that up accidentally?
same way excel doe it. IIRC visio is just like excel in that there's only one window, ever, but multiple task bars because rasins, and that messes with aeropeek
Excel doesn't screw up aeropeek, though. It still works. See:
And you can get a second Excel window open. Launching a shortcut to Excel will start a new Excel process with its own window. edit: again I speak for Excel 2010. It sounds like maybe it doesn't work in the newest version...
Note that copying-and-pasting from one worksheet to another will fall back to values + simple formatting if you're copying in one Excel process and pasting in another. It won't copy the formulas, conditional formatting rules, etc. like it will if both worksheets are opened in the same Excel process.

Yeah, they "fixed" that "feature" in Office 15.0 (erm, 2013).
I'm assuming the fix carries on into 2016 as well.At least they switched from MDI to SDI, but that can REALLY screw certain macros/addins up that aren't expecting it...

True, it’s clearly not doing what it’s supposed to be doing — I was mainly responding to you seemingly having missed the filenames altogether :) Though at least it doesn’t say “Microsoft Visi…” for all three.

Yeah, seems it doesn't work the same in 2016.
