Elliott Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Sorry for the third post, But i just noticed that with Tiger if you change the screen brightness down when under battery power, it reverts to your previous setting when you plug it back in, then back to the dimmer setting when you unplug! Well good, don't remember Panther doing this. Have had Tiger for almost a week now, and am still discovering all its little details. Dougal. 585834798[/snapback] Yea, I love that feature too! P.S., your signature says "OS X Panther 10.4.0 (GM)". Should that not be Tiger? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/307785-the-official-mac-os-x-tiger-thread/page/28/#findComment-585834832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That's something that's annoyed me too. If anyone knows the answer to this I'd be grateful. 585831661[/snapback] Use the inspector option Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/307785-the-official-mac-os-x-tiger-thread/page/28/#findComment-585835254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Use the inspector option 585835254[/snapback] OK, thanks. And for those that don't know how to access it, you have to hold down the "option" key when ctrl-clicking on the files. I had seen that, but didn't know what it did.

AlexSpark Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Tiger has lost the ability to select multiple files and Get Info. I tried to do it just then and a heap of windows (Info windows) opened up. Is there a way to get the size of multiple folders/files when selected, in Tiger? :huh: 585831653[/snapback] CMD-Click your selection but keep CMD down .. you will notice that Get Info is Get Summary when the CMD button is down .. let go and it'll go back to Get Info .. very cool Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/307785-the-official-mac-os-x-tiger-thread/page/28/#findComment-585836897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureLogic Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well replacing the App files doesn't seem to work either, how do I reinstall QuickTime 7 completely including it's frameworks etc. without having to drag file by file to my System folder?

Southern Patriot Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) what is the difference between get info and show inspector?? they seem to provide identical information 585836268[/snapback] Select multiple files at once and see what happens. Get Info will now open a window for each file, Inspector will open a single window with the information on the whole group (like Get Info used to). Inspector seems to show less information though. Here's a screenshot of the Inspector window and the Get Info windows for a group of folders on my drive: Edited April 27, 2005 by roadwarrior Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/307785-the-official-mac-os-x-tiger-thread/page/28/#findComment-585837675 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PureLogic Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 quicktime pro should really be free when you get it through the OS 585837536[/snapback] Yup. It's insane to force some piece of software into a system without the full features enabled. Luckily I somehow stumbled across a weird number/letter combo that had the strange property to enable those menu items that once had a [PRO] label in front of them.

Arpit Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 do you guys really use quicktime that extensively? besides watching files online, i've never found myself resorting to quicktime after using vlc. out of curiosity, is there something that quicktime can do that vlc can't?
