In all my reading about Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, I’ve not seen mention of some changes that I’ve noticed since installing.
- Using Shift+Command+4 to take a screenshot now shows a cursor with coordinates.
- The Print dialog has been updated. It now has a disclosure triangle like Open and Save.
- Software Update (at least the first one) now works more like Automatic Updates in Windows. The first window is the same as Tiger, but after you click install, your computer begins to restart and shows a progress bar while installing, locking you out from using the computer. As I mentioned, the first update behaves this way, which may be because it updated the OS; I’ll have to wait and see.
- Shift+Command+O opens a new window in slow motion. Control+Command+O does what Shift+Command+O used to do. (Added 2007-11-19 12:00)
- The screen no longer turns blue on shutdown, it stays on the desktop picture for the last logged in user. Especially noticable when your computer is attached to a projector when you shut down. (Added 2007-11-25 22:55)
- Using Shift+Command+4+Space to take a screenshots of a windows includes the shadow. (Added 2007-11-27 20:38)
- In the Finder, when Getting Info on multiple items or when some Get Info windows are already open, the windows sometimes pile up instead of titling. This is probably a bug. (Added 2007-11-27 20:38)
- When you begin playing a playlist in iTunes, then switch to another playlist while still playing the first, the pause button changes to stop. When you switch to another app, the stop changes to pause again. This is certainally a bug and may appear in other OSs. (Added 2007-11-28 18:06)
- Command+Tab does not always switch apps. At first it looked like this was just a Firefox problem, but it has happened involving other apps as well. I think it has included switching to or from Finder everytime, so that may be the cause. Finder may in fact be the source of that functionality. (Added 2007-12-02 19:19)
- Some file icons are incorrect or generic. For example, a .tmpl file from Movable Type shows as a Unix binary, many CandyBar .icontainer files have generic icons. (Added 2007-12-02 19:21)
