PyX Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Oh well, now Software Update works. I didn't do anything special. Maybe it's because of a reboot, but I wouldn't think so because I had rebooted about 3-4 times yesterday for that and my Airport. Maybe Repair disk permissions and Verify disk, although it didn't find anything... Errors in Finder : They have simplified a lot of errors in Snow Leopard they said at WWDC, so that the end user could understand them better. But I still saw a couple of errors in the Finder that were "numbers" that I had to look on Google. Instead of a simple message telling me what the problem really is. I don't know if they'll change this in the final... Quicktime X : You can't use the double arrows to go faster or to go back in a video. You really have to drag the button. Obviously I know this will be changed in the final. Quicktime X : There's a new fullscreen mode. If you're seeing a 4:3 video on a 16:10 monitor for instance, you can activate fullscreen and see black borders on the left and right. But if you activate the new mode, it stretches the sides of the video exponentially. It does not stretch the whole video equally. The middle is not stretched at all in the new mode, so characters don't look fat. Edit : Quillz is right, the Services menu is not empty. Must have been dreaming...

Quillz Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I just noticed that after logging out and back in, my battery status icon has disappeared on its own from the menu bar and now refuses to reappear, as that check box refuses to stay clicked.

Quillz Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/06/...now-leopard.ars Now we know why Apple included the new Menlo font in Snow Leopard: it is replacing Monaco. The gold release of Snow Leopard will no longer include Monaco or the .dfont format. And you can no longer choose your level of font anti-aliasing. There's just one setting now.

PL_ Veteran Posted June 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 12, 2009 http://www.macrumors.com/2009/06/12/new-sn...inue-to-emerge/ - Expanded Multi-Touch Capabilities for Older Notebooks: Snow Leopard will bring 3- and 4-finger multi-touch gestures to MacBooks that currently do support only a maximum of two-finger gestures. Examples of the gestures that will make their way to the older notebooks include swipe to navigate, swipe for Expos?, and swipe for switching applications.

Quillz Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 For you iconaholics, Snow Leopard has fixed the well-documented "open folder" bug.

mattrobs Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Anyone notice this: With Snow Leopard and a compatible AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule base station, however, your computer can go to sleep yet continue to share its files with other computers and devices, waking when you need it and sleeping when you don?t. Does it work in the WWDC build? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/642366-mac-os-x-snow-leopard-discussion/page/22/#findComment-591130434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyX Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I haven't tested it out :p Problem with time capsule is... I can't go in Time Machine in iCal or Mail or Address Book... If I had the app highlighted and I go in the Apps stack and look for Time Machine, it goes in the Finder... Time Machine seems to be a little faster with Time Capsule by the way.

PyX Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 You're right... I never thought about right clicking on a button in the HUD interface though, this is strange..

You mean the one that was given out to those who attended WWDC? That's been out for a long time now. Or, are you referring to the actual demonstrated build at WWDC, the one that included the Expose features in the Dock?
