Most people seem to love the feature for most of their apps, but don’t want it enabled for others. Up until now, you’ve had to issue either <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/01/turn-off-resume-per-app-in-mac-os-x-lion/">app-specific defaults write commands</a> or <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/31/disable-resume-specific-applications-mac-os-x-lion/">lock saved states</a> folders, or just <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/18/disable-mac-os-x-lion-resume-window-restore/">disable Resume completely</a>. </p> <p>These are all effective methods, but what if you want to easily manage OS X Lion’s Resume feature on a per application basis from a GUI? Resuminator does just that. It’s an easy to use and free app for Mac OS X 10.7 that lets you individually select applications and whether or not they will use Resume. Want it enabled for Chrome but not Safari? No problem.</p> <p><a href="http://ericasadun.com/ftp/Macintosh/Resuminator.zip">Download Resuminator free from Erica Sadun</a> (direct link)</p> <p>The app is extremely simple. Select an app, and uncheck the box next to “Should Resume” if you don’t want that app to Resume it’s windows and states. The “Global Resume” checkbox turns control back over to the general System Preference that <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/18/disable-mac-os-x-lion-resume-window-restore/">disables the feature</a>.</p> <p>Resuminator was created by Mac developer and occasional TUAW contributor <a href="http://ericasadun.com/ftp/Macintosh/">Erica Sadun</a>. It likely just serves as a GUI front end to the aforementioned defaults write commands, but it’s in a much easier to use format. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/umxeLLo0Pify1LIGL-16tSif3BM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/umxeLLo0Pify1LIGL-16tSif3BM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/umxeLLo0Pify1LIGL-16tSif3BM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/umxeLLo0Pify1LIGL-16tSif3BM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mSsniJ9KFWU:hmSP6yI-iYs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mSsniJ9KFWU:hmSP6yI-iYs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=mSsniJ9KFWU:hmSP6yI-iYs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mSsniJ9KFWU:hmSP6yI-iYs:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=mSsniJ9KFWU:hmSP6yI-iYs:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mSsniJ9KFWU:hmSP6yI-iYs:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=mSsniJ9KFWU:hmSP6yI-iYs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/mSsniJ9KFWU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
