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.

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?

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.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
