Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion

[MasterC]

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.

What I find works is you open a Finder window, resize it, and close it without doing anything else. So, just open, resize, close, and it should stay the same when you open it again. At least that's what I do every time and it works for me. :laugh:

Noone has mentioned whether Safari still has built-in anti-phishing like the early builds. Are the features still there or has it been stripped?

[osirisX]

If it isn't in the Safari 3 Beta then I guess it is gone.

[chrisgeleven]

Supposedly Mail was going to get anti-phishing support too.

[crazzyyfool]

It would be a disappointment if the anti-phishing features have been stripped from both Safari and Mail. That would make Safari the only major browser without it. Considering that Apple has always been ahead with security and the fact that Safari is now on Windows. Bad move IMHO.

I agree.

Indeed... on other news, from Macrumors, there's a seed update for 9A559 :

The 9A557/9A559 Seed Update includes fixes to wireless networking and RAW image viewing in the latest development build of Mac OS X Leopard. The update is also being used to test new features with in the Software Update mechanism itself.

And as someone said in their site, what the hell is happening with ZFS (or at least a new file system...) and Resolution Independance?

[divinatum]

Sounds like ZFS won't be making appearance. Last ZFS support seed was for 9a477.

[RadishTM Veteran]

Things getting ripped from Leopard now as well :(

Radish?

[divinatum]

ZFS was never confirmed by Apple. Just slipped up by Sun. I don't consider that removing a feature.

[DrunkenMaster]

I don't think doing something like ZFS is a simple undertaking. They're probably going to add it as a patch at a later date ... but more likely into 10.6.

It looks like this is the final build (based on # of bugs) so Leopard should be out before Halloween.

[richardsim7]

I hope Leopard and the new macbooks are out before October 30th, or I can't get my free iPod! :(

[crazzyyfool]

Oh dear. Seem to be a few bugs in this lastest seed.

This is -really- weird. I'm a Firefox user but opened Safari to show a friend web clip and after updating, Safari doesn't seem to have that functionality. In addition, the buttons have been reverted from the metal Leopard look to how they look in Tiger. Picture below.

[osirisX]

Maybe an old build of Safari slipped in?

[richardsim7]

They just released a patch, see macrumors :)

[divinatum]

It could be the Safari build on his 10.4 partition. Could have inadvertently launched it somehow.

[divinatum]

ZFS was never confirmed by Apple. Just slipped up by Sun. I don't consider that removing a feature.

Edit: ZFS *is* in 10.5... "zfs.readonly.kext" and apparently read/write kexts are on developer.apple.com for ADC members. I can't confirm that though.

[Southern Patriot]

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!

Hold down Command and then drag it where you want. That moves things, equivalent to cut and paste.

[mattrobs]

Yeah, but it's more annoying. You either have to have both the source and destination Finder windows displayed and drag across, or you can slowly spring-load to your folder. While I've become used to it, it still doesn't beat cut/copy and paste.

Apple's excuse has been: if you cut a file, where does it go? Then, if you cut/copy another file, where does the previously cut file go? Does it get deleted?

One easy rationale could be: the file doesn't move unless it's pasted.

Anyone know if Preview has been finally updated to properly zoom and show actual size of images, that bug ****es me off so much.

Are you referring to the "Respect image DPI for Actual Size" option?
