Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

Okay, please don't kill me when I ask this..... but.... what date in October will Leopard be released? I can't remember... :blush:

They have not set a date, but it must be late October because they still do not have a GM version, which means when it does go Gold they will to still have to produce all the disks.

wots this illuminous stuff is this a mock up of what someone would like to see ?

Illuminous was a rumoured theme for OS X that came to the rumour mill after WWDC 06. Illuminous was supposed to be black, glossy and transparent. Basically a really fancy theme. WWDC 07 came along and we got the iTunes 7 look for OS X instead of the rumoured Illuminous.

I guess you could say it's a mockup of what some people want ;)

ah thank you, first impression is looks pretty cool but when you get past that you really should'nt even realise that the operating system is there IMO. Pretty all the same but i would rather that the OS stays clean as it already is in Tiger. Still i'm getting old and we don't like change when you reach my age hehe.

You know what, sometimes I wish Leopard was delayed again, because the more time Apple spends on it, the more great ideas they come up with. That preference pane icon is design at its best! Is it from 9A559?

As far as I know, it is.

I haven't used leopard long enough to try this... but does Leopard keep finder windows/settings this time? I swear finder in Tiger is a joke, I'd resize a window, close it and open it up again and it be a different size or the just screwed up in other ways.

^ Same with me, there's tricks of getting it to stick but its a pain in the ass. Hopefully they fixed that, and when you manually organize icons it doesn't spazz out and throw them all over the finder window in retarded positions. Always drives me insane.

Yes, I hear that it finally remembers positions, size and what view you were using. Finally! Too bad, from what I understand you still can't "Cut." Apple, no one wants to copy and then delete. That's a waste of time!

Yeah, I've never understood why the Cut button is there in the menus, but it's grayed out. What's the matter? If it's never going to work, at least don't put it in the menus...

osirisx, it's quite nice, but as always, font reflection is abusive and the fonts themselves are not bold enough compared to the rest of the picture... I mean, there's too much impact on the icons/symbols and not enough on the text. It's quite nice in overall though, but maybe more for a real fancy app than an entire OS.

No, Leopard won't be released in a few hours. There's still some tidbits to arrange... and resolution independance is still a pending feature in release candidate status. Why?

Just for a quick note... They should start removing the arrows of scrollbars in Leopard... I guess nobody buys a new Mac or simply Leopard and has a mouse without scrollbar nowadays...

The scroll boxes still have uses, though.

Yes for the scrollbar itself, but not the scrollbar arrows at the bottom and at the top (or side to side, depending on how you set them). In devices like iPods and iPhones, there's no scrollbar arrows, as it would be (almost) useless. It's more like a graphical artefact from the past.

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.

    • 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.
