Let's have a list of applications that currently don't work under Snow Leopard 10A432.

CandyBar 3.1.2 - Unstable, becomes unresponsive after some time. Cannot scroll through installed icons.

Glims - Installs, but doesn't show up in Safari preferences.

Inquisitor - Installs, but doesn't show up in Safari preferences.

DNS-323 NAS Samba access is also broken in Snow Leopard. I can confirm this.

Let's keep this thread updated for the convenience of other people.
 
Just a request... has anyone tried VMware Fusion...?

Mangus recently released a version of CoolBook for SL.
 
No problems here with VMWare.

FYI, tonight's nightly Cyberduck build works okay (though I didn't test it very throughly, it DID load).
 
Apps that works for me...
iMovie 09
iPhoto 09
Garageband 09
(haven't tried the rest of iLife 09 apps...)
Final Cut Express 4
Livetype 2
Hulu Desktop
Photoshop CS3
VLC Media Player
Adium

VMWare Fusion works. The 2.0.5 works, but only with the 32-bit kernel.

There is a beta in the works that has 64-bit kernel support, along with Aero ;)

iStat Menus still don't work.
 
Basically any FTP program or application with FTP built in such as Coda and Espresso will run for a few minutes before crashing.
 
Is anybody having a problem where when you click on a third party preference pane it says "To use the *insert 3rd Party Preferences* preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen." I do that, and it continually keeps telling me that. The only one that does not do it is Perian.

The 3rd party is running in 32-bit not 64-bit as the System Preferences is built on. Therefore, you need to exit and restart a 32-bit version to make it work.
 
This thread is going to get messy fast. I hope someone is keeping a running total of the apps so that it can all be compiled into a list and updated. I also think it would have been great if people could have posted their machines and whether they are running in 64bit or not. I mean, doesn't that have to be manually enabled on bootup? I suppose there are a lot of people who don't know that (even though they should if they are truly developers and not pirates).
 
Transmission doesn't work for me. It launches perfectly fine but then locks up when I try to download anything.

EDIT: Discovered that it only breaks in 64-bit kernel mode. Seems like it has a lot of compatibility issues.
