Some Details on First Mac OS X 10.6.1 Seed (Build 10B503)

Well what you'd do is select each folder and assign a default view to each.

For instance, my Photos folder will always open up in icon view. My documents folder (linked from my iDisk - I work off the Cloud), will always open in column view. The Spotlight results in the Finder will always open up in list view. And I set most everything else to open in column view.

So you need to go through each of your folders (the ones that you access most often) and manually set the default views.

I hope I understood your question correctly. :eek:

That's how I had it in Tiger. I guess they toggled the "apply to all folders" on in Leopard?

I'll be in a photo folder with Cover Flow on. I'll close that and move to /Applications and it'll be in Cover Flow. I never SET it to be in Cover Flow in /Applications! :confused:

I'll click back to Icon view in /Applications only to lose Cover Flow in the other photo folder. :mad:

Right now each window keeps its default settings (finally.) My default view for documents is column view. If I go to another folder and change the view, then go back to douments, it'll still be in column view. I can change view to something else, but it'll only stick during the back and forths of navigating if I make it the default view.

So folders remember their defaults and always revert to them.

I'll have to give it a look again when I go home. I haven't been able to have individual folder views since Tiger. I've never hit the apply to all folders/set as default button ever.

I can have independent icon sizes and sorting, just not view modes.

This question goes for the people who did not have problems with their update

Because it is important issue before upgrading to SL
Click to expand...

I assume your question is how battery life and heat is after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

Doing normal stuff, my 13" 2.53 GHz MBP's fan is at 2000 rpm (minimum), 61°C, room temp is 26°C and I got a bunch of apps open. The awesome thing about Snow Leopard is that the idle process is on 95% average as of writing. Oh, and I'm typing this on the bed right now so the fan opening is mostly blocked. :)

Major heat improvement compared to Leopard. Battery life is about the same, about 6 hours of WIFI surfing with flash enabled in Safari.
 
Resize issue with Preview

I hope they fix the bug where Preview does not resize images from smaller to larger.

Works fine. Just make sure "automatically resize" is not checked.

It may work fine your you but not for everyone. Yes, "automatically resize is not checked." If you have a larger picture (jpeg) than the window you have, it will adjust to the smaller window. However, if for example, you select actual size, and then make the window bigger, clicking "zoom to fit" no longer works. If you click zoom then the picture does get larger. This problem apparently is mainly with jpeg files. I've verified this on 3 separate machines(MP,imac,MP notebook)

I'm unable reproduce the problem. I tried everything you listed, using several large (2560x1024+) jpegs.

Is this issue listed in the Apple support discussion forums?

Anyway, I'd be pretty irritated if this issue affected me. Resizing images is a pretty basic function of Preview. :(
 
thanks

Thank u very much, that was really helpful

because I heard some ppl that SL is decreasing the battery life and increasing the temp.

Based on historical data I think .1 will arrive about 4 to 5 weeks after release.
Click to expand...

Depends on which historical data you look at. Based on the last three OS releases (10.3, 17 days; 10.4, 18 days; 10.5, 20 days) we should expect around 3 weeks. But more important may be that 10.6.1 has already been released to some developers. How soon did that happen for previous releases?
 
Upgraded last Friday and have had no issues at all. I run a lot of Adobe products and was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the transition of the upgrade happened. I will say though, my laptop is about 3 weeks old and I really haven't noticed a difference in speed running the programs or logging into my system. However when logging out or shutting down it's blazing fast.
 
Hi everyone,

I also had ordered it from Toronto, last week and it finally came almost a week later!:mad:

Anyways,

there are somethings that don't work as mentioned previously. Flip4mac is one... I also watch sporting events using Veetle and this doesn't work now, also plug- ins from some sites that I can hear their radio stations (from another country) is dead.. Does anyone else have these problem?:confused::eek:

Besides all this, Safari seems snappier, Shutdown is quicker... in general, some good improvements.:)

Hi,

I want to say that their is an update for flip4mac. I've been using wmv's for a couple of days now. I just opened WMV file in quicktime.
 
SL not ready for PT

I am thinking the upgrade to SL was a mistake -

I am finding reduced battery charge, a service the battery icon, system shut downs, loss of range on AE, itunes cut outs, two of my major programs are not working, keychain errors, system crashes and for no real benefit! Glad it was $9.95 on the up to date program - $29 would have been a waste -

next time, will wait till after the next bug fix as this seems to happen all the time!
 
I haven't upgraded yet as I was waiting for this release. When this is released will they sell an upgrade disc of 10.6.1 or will it be the case of upgrading to 10.6 and then running Software Update?

Thanks

Generally new disks will emerge that contain the updates. This doesn't happen immediately of course...so it could be a long wait. Chances are you'll still need to run Software Update for a while yet.

All of the 10.6.0 disks will have to be sold first before those become available.
 
Had a chance to play with SL a little more today. Another thing I have discovered today is that GCD could use some optimization when it comes to quicktime or perhaps it is quicktime that needs some tweaking. Clicking the scrub controller but not actually scrubbing (moving the mouse left or right) during a stopped or paused movie produces high processor usage (as reported in Activity Monitor). I would like to see it optimized so that if not actually moving the scrubber, processor time should be handed off to other tasks while only in mousdown position, unless it is necessary in preparation for the actual scrubbing (buffering or likewise). Perhaps this will be addressed in the 10.6.1 update.
