but in leopard, if u "quicklook" (spacebar) on a mp3 it will play it. i don't see why this is so exciting
That's really cool, but Linux had had that for like 4 years now. It's so funny how new features are added to OS X, and all the fan boys jump up and down as if Apple came out with this cool new feature when the rest of the world has had it for years.
Completely agreed.Having not seen/used it, what I'm liking about the concept is less screen clutter.
Not that Quicklook is bad - I heart Quicklook. A lot. Very efficient.
This just sounds even cleaner/more efficient.
That's what I was thinking.I so hope that is in snow leopard, wouldn't that count as a new feature though?
And it would make sense that the preview would play in an icon instead of in a window, because icon previews are less clutter (so less hand/arm usage) than opening and closing a window, both for the iPhone / iPod touch / mini-tablet and a possible touchscreen Mac.I just thought about it and if you think about it. They are laying the groundwork for multi-touch. Touch the center of the icon and the preview starts playing. Double tap to open the file.
Yep, if by "the rest of the world" you mean only a bunch of people...
Unfortunately, nobody uses Linux.
Any Linux user will crucify you for this. But then again, any Mac user would crucify a PC fanboy for saying nobody used Macs.Unfortunately, nobody uses Linux.

There was a slide saying "0 New Features" at WWDC.Apple never said Snow loepard wont provide ANY new features... its just not gonna be apples primary focus. In leopard apple was clearly trying to add features, from quick look, to spaces.
I think you have to select the arrow on the file to use icon Quick Look.Funny how nobody has notice that if this "feature" is present, you can no longer just click on the file to select it.
Selecting the file is more common that watching a movie the size of an icon or playing a song without having to laboriously hit that space bar (oh the strain!). I think I'll hope Apple keeps the former and drops the latter as a useless gimmick.
That drives me crazy.Cool... As long as it doesn't make my Finder more sluggish...
Sometimes, when I open a Finder window (in list or column view), it takes up to 10 sec before I can start scrolling down the window, only to show the previews of 30 items listed...
Then, I start scrolling just to find out the Finder needs to create the previews for the next 30 files...![]()
How do you know?
This is a different implementation of Quick Look and in some ways better.i dunno if anyone said this but
you can watch and listen to music through quick look already
Oh. I thought you meant stuff other than on Apple's site.
