It's an in-depth review of the new functionality in SL.

I'm still halfway through but so far a very interesting read. It's definitely not called the most advanced OS for nothing.

Just took the time to read through that review. Even as a computer science student I found some of its content to be very technical, but it definitely helped me understand the advances made in this release. Definitely seems like they are paving the way for future advancements as well. Something that your average consumer may not appreciate I guess, but I suppose the price point will help with that!

Anyone else care to chime in on this? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?t...99&tstart=0

Seems like I'm not the only one having issues opening multiple files from the Finder. Can't figure out the cause, anyone with it working did you upgrade or clean install?

I don't have 50 pdf's to open, but I was able to successfully open 54 jpeg and png images with preview (and quickly too). I guess I don't have the same issue. I did an upgrade from 10.5.8, as well.

he is specifically referring selecting multiple files and either dragging and dropping or right-clicking and opening with iTunes, which if the files do not exist in the iTunes library should trigger it to import them all,

if the option in iTunes is checked to import when playing files.

LOL sorry, i didn't read the KB article, his previous post was about iTunes, My Bad

EDIT: here is a nice video i just recorded and uploaded with Camtasia 1.0 that you can watch once YT finishes processing it

lol Your reply did have me confused. I did notice that when opening up 159 images, it opened 158 in one preview window, and suspiciously, it opened the last in a new window. Was strange. But it still opened all of the images.

Seems I'm unable to boot into 64bit even after modifying the com.apple.boot.plist file

And yes, my EFI is 64bit capable.

What System? Macbooks and Mini's are a no-go

Did my upgrade this afternoon, took longer than expected (around 40m+).

Everything seems to be working except for iStat (probably because Finder is 64bit now), and overall system performance is as advertised. Shutting down is blazing fast.

The same thing happened to me as well.

On a side note, on my 2.4 MBP I had an additional 10 gigs free after doing an upgrade install.

Mine does that too, except it doesn't open all images, just a handful. Then it will open 1 more the 2nd time, and so on. For me and what seems to be a select few, its across all apps, and all filetypes. And directly related to the Finder itself. If I use the Open Dialog in any of these apps and select them all there. It opens flawlessly. Just when doing it from the Finder it seems to mess up. Which is rather inconvenient. Then to add even more joy to my day. Time Machine was excluded my entire iTunes Music folder from all backups by default. I had to Terminal in to remove the reference to it in the excluded list (note, not the one in system preferences. This list is hidden from view.)

If you want to view your list, type this in Terminal.

sudo mdfind "com_apple_backup_excludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'"

Delete with this,

xattr -d com.apple.metadata:com_apple_backup_excludeItem FILENAMEHERE

What should be in there is album artwork and iPhoto Caches. For me I usually have the iTunes Library.xml which is rather critical, and lately my entire music library for whatever reason. Should have just upgraded. Stupid clean installs :p

Wooo yours is borked too!

I mean sorry, it sucks, but glad to hear I'm not the only one here, it was getting lonely :laugh:

The problem is its not directly related to Preview. iTunes & Photoshop are the ones I experience it the most with, but I assume its all apps when launching from the Finder. Phantom, try opening all the same files, from the Preview Open Dialog, I'll betcha it works.

Btw, anyone else annoyed that they changed the text selection behaviour in Snow Leopard. Before it would stop a periods, now it extends past. this.sucks whereas before it'd perform like this does when double clicked, this-doesnt-suck.

Just a pain having to retype the filetypes and various other tags constantly.

Odd, Im unable to replicate this bug, the files open perfectly.

SL clean install here.

I have the exact same issue with my iMac mid-2007 (iMac7,1).

Lucky bugger :laugh: Give it some time or try with several folders of large pictures. For example some of my work related files for sites opened all fine, but my folders of wallpapers wouldn't.

Xero, you were correct, it worked from the preview file menu.

and am I wrong? but does the volume get muted when you reboot?

Figures. Damn Cocoa Finder, so awesome it won't open all file:p:p Not sure about the muting that seems a little odd, like you don't hear the chime? If you muted the system speakers and then plugged in external ones, it will be muted, unplug them, adjust the system volume, plug back in.

Just upgraded my MacBook. My dock scrolls smoothly! I got 18GB freed up too, which seems a bit much, but I won't question free spac:D:D

One thing, I'm missing the slider in the Finder for icon sizes. Any ideas?

Yea the animations are nice and smooth. As for the space, they changed how your drives are sized (well appear at least) so while it may seem excessive its likely a combination of the freed space when upgrading and the fact that all drives are show the larger size now.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
