As recently revealed by MacRumors, the latest builds of the upcoming Mac OS X Snow Leopard contain some interesting unannounced features. QuickTime Pro is reported to have been axed completely, its features built into QuickTime X, the redesign of QuickTime based off of the iPhone version of QuickTime. This means that users will no longer need to load up iMovie or Final Cut Pro to make minor adjustments to movies, nor pay $30 for this privilege.
But today brings the news that Snow Leopard also has two more minor changes. "Put Back" allows users to restore an item stored in the Trash to its previous location by simply right-clicking. Windows users will be familiar with this, and the feature was mysteriously lost in the transition from OS 9 to OS X, up until now. The second feature allows a user to select a folder within a stack and browse that folder in the stack view, as opposed to opening the Finder. Not exactly earth-shattering by any means, but Snow Leopard has so far not been pitched as packed with new features by Apple.
New screenshots have been posted at Italiamac.com, confirming the smaller app sizes, displaying the new features, and showing the new Cocoa-based Finder. Keen-eyed readers may spot some subtle differences from the present-day Finder to the new Finder.
