In this riveting episode I visit bugs and annoyances that have been fixed in Leopard. So even though these are problems with the current OS X we can rejoice that the new version has them fixed. Okay here goes.
Renaming File Extension Dialog
The Finder in leopard now has a option to stifle this annoying dialog that appears for every rename that changes the file extension.
Overall Finder Speed
It’s faster now.
Lack of Multiple Desktops
No GUI for sharing individual files and folders
Leopard now has a new preference pane for editing the permissions of folders and setting up users and groups.
Setting up a custom folder for desktops
I have thousands of desktops and while I don’t change them that often I do get annoyed when I try. In the Desktop preference pane you can select a folder to view all the images within. You can’t save this folder in the list and whenever you want to select another folder it defaults to your home directory not where you were last.
Fixed in leopard, you can now create custom locations for your desktop pictures.
Column view preview
This is cool for seeing what is in a file without opening it but is very slow when you don’t want it. You can turn it off but it’s usefulness outweights it’s annoyance. Now in leopard you can turn it off and just use quicklook instead.
