Anybody try it yet? And more importantly, does anyone know if legacy apps such as FCP 7, DVDSP4, DVD Player will open with it running?
Thanks,
Phil
I'm curious about FCP7 myself. I wanna do a backup of my current drive and then I will install the El Capitan update to the backup and see. But doing all this requires lots of time.
The name EL CAPITAN is completely retarded, though.

I will wait a bit as always do until I hear more reports on it. Usually Ken is the first one to try it. Last year, I compared him
to the soldier in the WWII movies who volunteered to cross the mine field first.
I agree the name EL CAPITAN is lame. Who comes up these names?

I have decided that I no longer want to be a Beta tester, so I plan on waiting a bit.

Good for you, Ken.
Mine fields are dangerous.;-)

Since Apple had series of feline OS titles (Tiger, Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard, etc.), I suggest, in keeping with the Spanish mode, that the next OS be ZORRO.
As always, don't update your OS to a next major version until the first bug fixes have been released. Having a new OS tested by the large public does not mean there are no initial bugs anymore, quite the opposite (-:
Best wishes,

I always wait awhile, Ronny. Things are working well for me right now.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hi Christoph,
LOL.

Remember when in the old days we eagerly updated right away....but we learned, didn't we?

A bunch of updates for different apps today, all aimed at El Capitan users.

But back to square one: does anyone know if FCP 7, Compressor, DVDSP4, DVD Player will open with it running?

I had no problem with FCP Studio and Yosemite although I did a backup of Mountain Lion on a separate external drive.
I've yet to install EL Capitan but I do have periodic situations where FCP X takes forever to load and, often when it does, the projects and clips within an event are in a different order and I have to re-sort them. That bothers me a lot since FCP 7 and previous versions were always rock-solid in that regard. If I saved, everything always remained where it was when I had closed.
Mitchell, didn't you have a problem with thousands of preferences or plugins clogging your system that had to be dumped?
Re: your actors: I thought you were going to say that after the El Capitan install, they were speaking Spanish.

Seems to work okay for me. I loaded it on a spare machine and I may eventually update my main system for which there is no rush - working well enough with Mavericks. Far less trouble than updating OS while running Avid.
