Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

but what else could it be? really leopard? at lest the date of shipping? doubt it... we will see.

Leopard announcement and ship date confirmed. Plus pre-ordering from the Stores. Maybe some MB and Mac mini announcements too.

I'm ordering Leopard at this moment :D

115 CAD with Education rebate. A little more expensive than Tiger with the same rebate... but it's still 12%.

Edit : What happened to the anti-phishing filter on Safari? It seemed to work well in older builds... and it's not listed as a new feature now...

im gonna be at the maxpo cologne this year and will see if i can get a copy right there, otherwise ill check out gravis the same day.

these two weeks dont count anymore, after all the waiting. :) great its there. man... so looking forward to it.

=)

good to see it coming along, if only could give it a whirl myself. can't say i'm a fan of the bending text of the dock but that's about only gripe i'd have with it at all if any that i've seen from screen shots.

i just bought a MBP back in august and this might be a n00b question. but do you think when I install Leopard I need to do a clean install and delete everything I currently have or do you think it's possible where it just gets upgraded? cuz I really have alot of stuff on my MBP and dont have a spare drive to store all these things. thanks.

Ah, that infamous pre-Apple-release excitement is starting to set in. :D

Based on what I've seen on Apple's site, my initial impressions of Leopard are:

  • Strange that Address Book can synchronise with Yahoo but not Google (Gmail)
  • Automator finally seems to have some decent purpose - a lack of developer support really crippled it in Tiger
  • It's a real shame Apple weren't able to implement full NTFS support for Boot Camp
  • I'm disappointed that Dashboard is more or less the same
  • I'm still not a fan of the new UI - it's an improvement, but seems too much like Aqua 1.5
  • Stacks are going to relieve me of a great deal of claustrophobia-related stress
  • Japanese-English support in Dictionary is neat
  • I really like the new additions in DVD Player
  • They finally FFTF!!
  • Front Row has (yet another) new icon
  • Lack of YouTube support in Front Row seems odd
  • I'm so happy Apple updated Front Row's overweight UI
  • Mail 3 is a great update but I still don't see why it needs RSS
  • Preview has gained some basic editing functionality... nice!
  • I hope the changes to Leopard's printing features make it easier to connect to my Vista-shared printer
  • What happened to Mail and Safari's anti-phishing features?!
  • Spaces seems more and more practical and useful each time I think about it
  • TextEdit has gained autosave... why hasn't Pages?!

Oh, and Apple hire brilliant web designers.

Overall, I'm really impressed. :) Too bad I'm broke.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
