Semi-Offical OS X Tiger Chat

The screenshots in this thread are interesting. To me it seems that they must working hard on Tiger at Apple because within the time they burned all the DVD's with Tiger on it and the keynote, so much is different. I think in one year, Tiger will have changed a lot, and this pre-release will be nothing compared to the final.

Yep.

This build is stable, because not that much has changed from panther. Pipeline is still in need of tons of features, and so are some other things, like the Sync Service. I bet we will be seeing a lot more features for the final version.

I agree. I am debating in my head as to whether I should really install this Tiger DVD that I have in my hand.

I would say, install it someplace... Have a 'play' with it if you're bored... But IMO, there's not a tonne of stuff, to keep you busy for too long... Not that I am complaining, its progression :)

Quick question, does anyone have the SDK for Dashboard Widgets?

No, but I would not be surprised if they leaked sometime.

There is quite a bit of new stuff in tiger, I am still finding new changes. This is my main OS for now, I have not had any problems yet. QT did crash once, but nothing big.

Two Questions:

1) How is the spotlight feature? I've been anticipating an "iTuneslike" search feature for my HD so I can use it as a "launcher". Is it quick in this build?

2) If I install it on my iPod, what would the speed be like? I'm thinkin that Tiger would be slower since it's using Firewire, but then again, I don't know how fast Firewire is in comparison to a conventional PowerBook HD.

It runs pretty well off of an iPod or Firewire Drive, not much slower then an internal drive.

Spotlight is cool, but I am still using QuickSilver for launching apps. Spotlight is better at finding files, but without keyboard access it isn't convenient.

Nspeds, personally I am used to the Hard disk in my G5. I installed Tiger on my iPod, just as a test really.. I heard the iPod is 4200rpm, so thats almost half the speed of my regular disk. With that in mind, Spotlight was pretty quick, but for me, general things were noticeable, that I would put down to the speed of the iPod drive. Like i said mate, if you've the time, give it a buzz, as long as you have nothing to lose. (hence NOT upgrading from a stable and feature complete 10.3.4...) I am sure you will enjoy the play, like we all do...

One thing you do notice tho, is its incredible what Spotlight picks up, thanks to META data. For example, i put in my friends name - 'Casey' which i thought would bring up iChat downloads / iChats / email... It also brought up one or two songs, where the composer (not artist, COMPOSER) included the string 'Casey'. Pretty incredible really. :)

However, I was kinda annoyed to find that its sorta limited to what files it can work with. For example, i have alot of video in Xvid / DivX etc etc... I did, for example, a search on 'Bo Selecta', then did Kind = Video. It left all Xvid and DivX files out, and pretty much left me with nothing. Hopefully Apple, between now and final (which IS plenty of time) will work a way to support more files. Afterall, the system knows they are video files, even IF Quicktime doesn't have a codec. You see what I mean? :p

Perhaps when Tiger is finally released, people can develop their own mods so that DIVX files are classified as video files.

Yeah, I am going to try that now. Only .mov files are showing up for me, AVI, OGM, MKV all dont show up.

Edit: Looks like some AVIs do show up.

Apparently the official 'documentation' for the Tiger preview says:

System requirements

You must have a Macintosh computer with

? a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor

? a DVD drive

? built-in FireWire

? at least 128 MB of RAM

? a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported  by your computer

? at least 2 GB of disk space available, or 3.5 GB if you install the developer tools

If you see a message in the Installer that you do not have enough disk space to install  Mac OS X, you can deselect items to save spacSpotlight's search stuff supportssupports about two dozen file formats listed on the apple information page for the technology. Fortunately it is extensible so 3rd party developers, Apple, and 'hobbyists' will be able to write modules for to add support for different kinds of files and applications to spotlight.

i finally got it installed using the install from panther trick i was getting kernal panics.

1 how do i start the dashboard? i can't seem to get it to start up.

how do you install stuff to your ipod, i have an ipod but do not know how to do it :(. i have tiger and want to try it :)

Surely you just plug in your ipod, run install, and select the ipod as the hard drive to copy it to?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
