When to expect Leopard 10.5.2 (and what to expect)

Need Smoother Animations... Dashboard, Dock, Expose, Etc...

I figure this can all be taken care of with New Video Card Drivers; which should be included in 10.5.2, espically if they add new videocards for the MacPro's. :D
 
I too hope for smoother animations/improved video drivers. But what I really need is a keyboard that can wake from sleep, my battery to last as long as it does in Tiger, and a working airport.

mail stopped being able to save passwords to the keychain. i had to reinstall 10.5.1 to get it working again. i'd like to not have to do that in the future.

I never saw that on my system. Mail.app "just worked" after the upgrade without a hiccup.
 
What is the point of this list, other than reading it in disappointment when the update comes and most of the "issues" have not been resolved?

In other words, unless Apple has a guy employed whose job is to skim these forums and see what Leopard users want "fixed" and report it to the people who can then this list does not serve any function.

So, how about someone fires this list off to Apple in a way where it has a fighting chance to reach the eyes of someone who can then open up some "fix this" tickets for the programmers?
 
A lot of these sound like new FEATURES (admittedly some that should have been there but anyway) as opposed to bug fixes (crashes etc.).

As someone who was using Tiger pretty late on in the .x update cycle, do these .2, .3 updates etc. usually also include some updated features/functionality, or are wholly "bug fixes"? Wouldn't a fixed Stacks functionality be kept sneakily for the OS iteration after Leopard?
 
AirTunes to work with Front Row and Airport Express again, like it used to with Tiger.
 
I haven't tried leopard yet, and I'm not gonna upgrade to it until Apple fixes most of the bugs that some people are having.

The thing that makes OS X great is the awesome user experience. But nothing ruins that more than an application crash, or worse, a system crash. Until an update comes out that leads to a huge drop in people complaining that they're getting crashes, then I'm not switching.

I'm on OS 10.3.9 and safari crashes quite frequently, but other than that, none of my other applications ever unexpectedly quit, and I NEVER get kernel panics. Until 10.5 can match that level of stability then I'm not gonna upgrade.

So I'm hoping for a huge pile of bug fixes.
 
Still on Panther? Running a server?

A few minor quirks in reliability don't make it worth it to be so far from the latest OS.

I've been running Leopard on my old Dual G4 since the day it came out. The only problem I've had is once it didn't wake up from sleep, other than that it's been rock solid.

User preference for the translucent menu bar. I want it OFF, just like it was pre-Leopard. I don't find it attractive, I have got used to white menu bar and that's what I want to see. If my app window hides most of the desktop background, then why does the menu bar have to show a part of it?

I hate it. I want it gone!
 
you are missing a big one in your list...

802.1x fix

the one all the users that can't use their campus or company wireless networks were promised with 10.5.1 :eek:
 
I can't believe how pixlated the cursor in OS X gets when enlarged. When you go into the options for cursor size and make it bigger, it looks like a pixelated mess. I was hoping this would be fixed in Leopard with a better cursor for enlarged sizes.

Even Windows and Ubuntu have an option to make the cursor larger and they don't look near as ugly as the big one in OS X.

If Apple developers can make a high resolution icon of Text Edit, they can surely spare some time to make the cursor look nice at increased sizes.
 
blaklaybul - a couple of things for your next edit. Firstly, the keyboard freezing problem is now widely reported on MacBooks, not just MacBook Pros. Secondly, don't forget the parental-controls-killing-dashboard bug. Again it is widely reported and even acknowledged by Apple, although the fixes in that article don't work for me.
 
Fix for the crashing iLife 08 apps mainly iMovie.
Fix the issues with ACL's
Fix the memory hogging of ichat when using audio and or video or even both the memory usuage for these are topping out at around 90+% most of the time.
Fix the RSTP and any other Quicktime bugs
Fix the recently discover DoS attack bug which affects 10.4.11 and 10.5/10.5.1
Fix Mail
Fix the airport issues
Fix spotlight so it actually finds things as is it could find ***** if it tried.

For god dam crying out loud where the hell is

Java 1.6 the most update version which would be java 1.6 update 3

As others have mentioned and I agree

The ability to customize the dock

I could probably add more but don't have the time right now.
 
I'm having a weird issue that was also in 10.5.0. Sometimes the site that is set has the home page in Safari will not be available at all until I either wait 3+ hours and try again or restart. I have not tried if it does it on other browsers as I have nothing else installed, but it's kind of annoying. I just have it set to the Apple.com/startpage, which always seems to work fine. :rolleyes:
 
fix the popup blocker acting like a piece of swiss
Ichat the way it was suppose to be. (backgrounds)
Stacks!
 
My laundry list has to do with Spaces:

1. Iron out the bugs! Allow me to use virtual desktops and leave them idle for 5 minutes w/o the desktop/mouse/keyboard freezing up.

2.Provide a means for disabling the animated effects when toggling between desktops.

3. Allow new threads of a program (e.g. Safari) to instantiate within my current desktop, rather than kicking me back into the original one.

4. Allow the dock to vary across virtual desktops.
 
I would like to see a fix for:

- Sometimes when I drag a file to a windows share (SMB), the file just disappears after copying.

- When I want to drag a file to a windows share though the finder, the folder icon springloads but doesn't open.

Already said, but I would also like smoother animations.
 
I've been having cursor issues. When it changes from a pointer to something else (say to a magnifying glass in Safari, or when it gets a green plus when moving things etc) it stays as the something else. Very irritating, if minor.
 
I have to say if they fixed all the things on this list it could turn out to be a very good OS. I hope they do some of these problems are very annoying.
 
Spotlight:

  1. The way spotlight shows the results when 'show all' is selected is no where as good as Tiger use to do it. It use to be much more organised and presented in a friendlier manner.

  2. Spotlight doesn't seem to search the whole computer in Leopard. If you search for bookmarks.plist in Tiger it finds the relevant file, but seems to ignore it in Leopard.
