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.

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?

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
