Comment on ~/.osx — a collection of sensible defaults for OS X Lion

does

    defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
work as well? This feature is infuriating and buggy.

Yes, that works.

If — like me — you hate the Resume feature so much, you can disable it system-wide in System Preferences. I’m still looking for a command that does this :)

And there we go:

    defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

Thank you very, very much. I hadn't even thought to look for such an option. It still took Googling to find it. Much, much better. :)

Why not then tell people where it is then! :)

After I googled for it as well, I can tell you it is in General (top left icon), near the bottom.

What specifically makes you think it is buggy? Did you file a bug?
