Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion

Good Luck! :p

Easier said than done :p

Well that just made it 1000% more useful.

First time I tried to drag a window it didn't do anything, tested it now and it did, odd.

you can drag a window to side of the screen and it will also flip to the next space (just hold it against the edge for a second)...

if in 1 drag to the right to go to 2 / bottom to 3

if in 2 drag to the left to go to 1 / bottom to 4

etc

etc

I've got some stacks in the dock.

I've got an Applications stack. I click on it and up comes the grid. As we all know, the Utilities folder resides in the Applications folder. I click on the Utilities folder and . . . it opens it in Finder.

How come I can't get subfolders to show up as a grid/fan? They all seem to open in Finder. I remember in Leopard build 9a466 subfolders in stacks simply opened in another grid/fan view.

They did. I don't know why this functionality was removed. It was just a stupid decision, really.

What font does your Dictionary widget use in Leopard? Mine uses Helvetica and it looks lame. As far as I know, it should be Baskerville, as it used to be in Tiger. I trashed the pref file, didn't help.

Odd. Try and delete the widget from your widgets folder.

Quillz, "stupid" doesn't even begin to describe it!

It's not only cool, but incredibly useful to be able to drill down into subfolders via Stacks. Betas of Leopard had this functionality. Sure, the previous folder-grid disappeared, but you could just keep going.

Why Apple took this out is inexplicable, at least to me. And frankly, I find it really annoying. :cry:

Is there any way to get this back using some tweak or terminal command?

Yeah, it's working for me now.

But it wasn't before, which was what caused me to make that post.

Just updated to Leopard this morning (2.4Ghz 15' MBP 2GB RAM 160GB) and I must say I love it.

It's not thatt much different than Tiger, but I was really impressed with the boot time. Around 5 seconds or so.

Spaces is quite handy for a graphic designer on a laptop.

I can have an Illustrator Space and Photoshop Space and switch easily between the two w/o CMD+Tabbing.

I'm also very tempted to buy a new external drive to backup with Time Machine, but we'll see.

Question about Time Machine though. If I have a drive now that has enough space to backup, will it just format the drive and use it all or will it just use what it has?

I have a HFS+ formatted 500GB MyBook that has some space and would like to try out Time Machine.

Oh, and the PhotoBooth/iChat green screen things don't work too well for me.

It will just use the available space.

I was thinking maybe finding what files control Stacks and then doing a hack job of sorts where I replace the default file with those from the beta so that we get back the improved Stacks functionality.

People have figured out how to alter scroll bars, the Dock, etc. in Leopard. I'm sure in time they will figure out how to alter Stacks behavior. If we can build hidden dynamic Stacks, surely we can change how they work.

Stacks would be living inside the Dock. You would probably need Dock.app from one of the betas. Or it could just be in a preference somewhere...

First person to find this preference file gets a cookie in the shape of Steve Jobs.

Would it possible for someone to extract the new Boot Camp drivers off the Leopard DVD? Windows won't read my DVD for some reason so can't use the new drivers. :(

In the bootcamp assistant, can you not just use the "Save to Disk" option?

Ye, ignore me, that option seems to have gone now. I'll get it off the cd later (if no one else does)

This will teach me to check before posting. If you look in the package contents of Bootcamp it seems to be there

Or is that the old drivers from my upgrade..

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
