SONY .ARW (RAW Camera Files) Icon Previews?

Anyone out there know/can check if Apple FINALLY (as in since 10.7.0) fixed the display of Icon Previews of .ARW Sony RAW camera files? People have been anticipating every update of 10.7 and nothing changed, then even 10.8.0 did not fix it.

Apple knows darn well about it (there are plenty of support threads); unbelievable it's taken them this long (or longer?) to fix something so "simple" that they broke!

Woah... The performance of GUI animations like changing spaces or pages in launchpad got even worse for me...

And that's not right, is it? (No the pictures are not shakey...)

Also the battery life is even worse for me... Just under 4 hours with only one tab in Safari opened. No flash or whatever in it.

somewhere else
Are the days of the Combo updates long gone? Is there a 10.8.1 Combo available for download somewhere? :confused:
The Combo installers appear with the x.y.2 (and later) releases when there are multiple updates to combine, hence the name.

10.8.1 update - updates 10.8.0 to 10.8.1
10.8.2 update - updates 10.8.1 to 10.8.2
10.8.2 combo update - update 10.8.0 to 10.8.2 (includes 10.8.1 updates)

This is not new. It's been like this for years and years.

Note that all standalone Mac OS X updaters eventually show up here:

http://support.apple.com/downloads/

Again, nothing new.

Also, FWIW, the menu bar claimed that I needed to service my battery when I installed ML (I never had any issues under Lion) but now upon installing 10.8.1, I'm not getting that service alert anymore - I haven't tested to see whether battery life has improved at all since 10.8.0, but still, a good sign!

Hmm, interesting. My old late '07 MBP (now the wife's) is saying Service Battery, but I can't remember if it started before or after the u/g from Lion to ML.

My retina macbook: showing 10 hours on battery! That can't be. Screen slightly dimmed, some basic programs up.

The option to download the full OSx Mountain Lion still remains for me after update. Any idea how to get rid of it?

I started letting it download, went into launchpad and deleted it's icon in there. that stopped the download

2 things...

1. I'm glad Apple are still releasing these as standalone downloads, for those of us who have large networks of computers.

2. No update for the 10.8 Server?

My 3 week old 13" MBP 8GB RAM said 7:09 battery with 98% battery before install. After install it said 5:09 with 98% battery. It's slowly climbing in 10 minute increments, but certainly hasn't jumped up to the ~10 hour time that it had before installing ML.

Has anyone gotten a Notification Center notification about the update yet? I've been wondering if you need to be on an admin account for those to work (I run a standard one day-to-day), so I'm curious to see when the notifications start rolling out whether or not I get one.

Can anyone comment on the "Save As..." functionality? Does it work like it did in 10.6 and before or does it still overwrite the initial document like it did in 10.8.0?

To explain the 4 Gig download - this is happening because you still have the Mountain Lion Installer .dmg from your system. OS X is detecting it is there and offering to replace it for you! If you delete the .dmg this message goes away.

It would have been nice to see some definitive answer on the battery thing for people waiting to upgrade to 10.8 with MBr's.

10.8.2

I just got an e-mail saying 10.8.2 is out for testing. No known problems. Focus areas are messages, Facebook, game center, Safari, and reminders.

I just quickly ran NovaBench and here is the result. Quite improvement for a 7MB download. I'm hoping that others are seeing same improvements :)
