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 upgraded and it is working for me

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.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
