Semi-Offical OS X Tiger Chat


Recommended Posts

Ok, hi I am new yada yada yada. With a n00b, here come a new problem.

Here's the deal. When I try to start the installer (I have burnt it on a DVD) it will tell me to restart the Computer. I did that, and then once the computer is done restarting, nothing happens? I put the .DMG file in the CD (because I had to burn it on Windows, because my Apple Airport was working correctly) and then I put it on my Mac and everything started fine. Everything except the setup. I then tried the other way, but it won't show any other HD or Partition. I don't have an external HD nor do I have an IPOD (I really should get one too :p). Can anyone help me here, or am I doomed?

you cannot burn a bootable mac cd in windows. Use the installer method that pureedit said earlier in the thread

You guys have to remember that this is an earlier build of Tiger than was previewed at the Keynote so some of the effects might not work as expected yet even on supported hardware. We will have to wait until later on to find out what the requirements are. I will bide my time and see if my current hardware is supported well enough before putting it on ebay. :)

You can create your own gadgets with a coyp of textedit (or emacs) and and a few hours of spare time.

Step 1:

Create a website that works the way you want your gadget to work.

Step 2:

Create a file called "Info.plist" that contains the following data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.
com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>AllowMultipleInstances</key>
        <true/>
        <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
        <string>com.apple.gadget.IDENTIFIERFORYOURGADGET HERE</string>
        <key>CFBundleName</key>
        <string>GADGETNAMEHERE</string>
        <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
        <string>SHORTVERSIONOFYOURGADGETHERE</string>
        <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
        <string>LONGVERSIONOFYOURBUNDLEHERE</string>
        <key>DefaultImage</key>
        <string>default</string>
        <key>Height</key>
        <integer>HEIGHTOFYOURBUNDLEINPIXELS</integer>
        <key>MainHTML</key>
        <string>THE"INDEX"FILEOFTHEWEBSITE</string>
        <key>Width</key>
        <integer>WIDTHOFYOURBUNDLEINPIXELS</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

Step 3:

Place the info.plist file into the folder with the website, renamethefolder to whatever.gadget.

Step 4:

Place the whatever.gadget folder into /Library/Gadgets (~/Library/Gadgets will probably work too)

Step 5: log-out/log-in.

Step 6: Press F12 and see that your new gadget is in the list.

I've written a few basic onces already. I'm trying to figure out the methods for pulling data off the web (like the sharktank) because I bet I could write some cool stuff.

Don't blame Apple. If the card can't handle the functions, it can't handle them. Nothing that Apple can do will change that.

well, they are creating software that requires the latest and greatest aren't they? and isn't that there strategy? the software sells hardware?

its okay, since i am hoping to get a g5 powerbook when it arrives :p

You are truly an apathetic individual if you believe that newer software should competely suppoort older hardware. Technology changes all the time and if anything, Apple is been committed to making its operating systems compatible with older systems. In fact, the recent operating systems released by Apple have caused speed improvements in older systems; something its Windows counterparts lack. I'm sure if Apple had the capabilities to do so, they would make Tiger's "Core Image" fully compatible with older systems.

Morever, you are foolish if all you look for are "video effects". What matters is the system itself, not the pretty GUI. MS-DOS was a very stable operating system and it had no "bells and whistles". Be thankful that Apple is even making Tiger compatible with older systems and is also making it faster.

Here's what I'd like in Tiger

I'd like a battery indicator that's FRICKING ACCURATE

I hate having it say 5:12, a seconds later jump to 3:05, stay normal for a while, then say 1;30 when I'm at 10% left

re-calibrate your battery, or if you have had it for 1 year, buy a new one :happy:

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
