Anyone else notice Tiger doesn't have Stuffit? I tried to open a sit, and wala, found nothing to open it with. Kinda not used to that.

@WinMacLin

Yeah Safari RSS is great and I'm using that RSS screen saver too.

The mods might want to take a look at this btw:

On almost every os install of osx, they've had both, this is the first time I don't see them included.

It was fairly public that IE wouldn't be included. About stuffit, I always assumed that it wouldn't be on the beta's but be included in the final. If it's not in the final, it could either be that Apple is trying to drop people using the technology in favor of their own or Stuffit didn't have a stable release that would work in time for it to be included. I doubt Apple would hold back the release date simply to have stuffit installed.

Stuffit works fine for me. No problems what so ever.

I'm really beginning to doubt the fact you don't have any problems with Tiger whatsoever, but okay. Stuffit 9 Deluxe only seems to have problems with files within separate folders.

Im suprised people have already started recieving their copies of 10.4.

Personally, i'm waiting for the week after its released, a) because we all know that 9 out of 10 times there is a new release, it needs a few bugfixes etc, and b) because my college will sell them at a reduced price which is nice.

I'm suprised at the lack of built-in support for SIT files, but i can understand it to a point, what with .ZIP and .RAR being the dominant compression format these days, especially trans-platform.

No IE? Oh well...i personally never liked IE on my Powerbook, and i won't feel sad about the loss of a new version in 10.4.

Safari 2.0...hmmm from what i've read, a lot of people approve, a few dont. I guess i'll have to see for myself, the slowness and bad rendering put me off greatly. However, if its better, i could force myself :p

Okay so i rambled, but this is my first post, and i've been lurking a while and figured its bout time i post.

One question tho...can someone PLEASE elaborate on the new iSync, because from what i've gathered, i can sync between macs, which will be a bonus if i decide to buy a G5 in the next few months...

Cheers guys,

I think IE and Stuffit weren't part of the OS itself, but on the System Restore disc's. I dont remember getting IE or Stuffit when i just installed panther on my iBook

Yep, they are there on a clean install of Panther.

Since when do they end build numbers in a letter? Panther was 7B85 or something, they have never ended in a letter before.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
