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:

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data.

With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges.

Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
