This left side column, we can place items in any order we want? I noticed the user folders are in Aphabetical order but the Drivers aren't.
I don't know about the drives. I assume they put the computer, the network, your iDisk, then any mounted drive in the order it's mounted. But you can add, subtract and rearrange the other stuff under the divider to your heart's content. It is the new "Favorites" folder in essence.
Is there no "recent items" available in the open/save dialogs?
Oh, and one little thing from page 3 that I never got around to addressing:
This is not correct. I removed the flexible space and I *still* can't add regular files and folders to the toolbar. Care to point out anything I might be missing?
Sorry for getting back to ya late. I've been busy. Drag a regular file or folder between the action button and the folder views, or anywhere that there is a gap. DOing this will let you now drag that icon anywhere. When you see the FLEXIBLE SPACE box appear that means that now you can add that folder or file up there.

You can rearrange all, but can't delete from the drives. Sucks if you don't use iDisk.

Yeah, really. I don't have .mac, like 6.5 MILLION other OS X users, and I don't want it staring me, taking up space. You would think that for an OPTIONAL service they would make that icon OPTIONAL! I mean it's used by what? 7% of OS X users? GRRR
Is it true that the copying and pasting of custom icons from "Get Info" windows is broken in Panther? If this is the case it will be disastrous for the Macintosh GUI community. One can only hope that it's just another item that hasn't yet been implemented.
...snip...I toyed around with the 'Full Keyboard Access' a little bit. It doesn't seem to be implemented at all. At first I tried simply re-mapping the New Folder command to command - n. That didn't work, so I thought it might just not be able to override pre-existing commands. So I tried it with some obscure combination, and it still didn't work. I then tried other commands, and other key combinations, and nothing seemed to work. I don't think it's implemented yet....snip...
Heh, today I went to make a new folder, and typed command-shift-n. Guess what I got. A new window. I typed command-n, and got my new folder. I guess it does work, but it just needs a restart of the app. I just thought you would be interested.
Now if only it could execute applescripts, too, we'd be in perfect shape! Since you need to enter in a Menu command, it's kinda limiting. Oh well.
thats what he is saying... it was broken in the jag preview, but it works in the jag final version... so don't get worked up over it until you see it missing in the final version of panther...
Yes, you can cut and paste icons in the Get Info window in the Finder. It just seems like you can't as Apple has done away with the box outline that shows up when you click on the icon. I had a chance to play around with a friend's Panther box and that is one of the things I tried out.

Oh, that's great, thanks. I was worried for a moment there...

No I think the sub-thread is that the shortcuts were re-mapped in the keyboard prefs pane from the default shortcuts to having command-n create a new folder, and option-command-n open a new window. The changes didn't take affect until the computer was restarted though.

This was also broken for a VERY long time in the Jaguar developer builds. Did it work in the GM build?

Icon copying and pasting works in Jaguar... but in Panther Developer Preview it seems you can't even select icons in the "Get Info" window.

Yes, any order you want. For both the upper and the lower panes.
