How about the bug that hits me really often... the one in List view where you create a new folder, and the name isn't automatically highlighted to be renamed? Have they fixed that darned hangover from 10.0?
No on the dragging and dropping to a folder within a folder in the Dock.

Not that I can see. OS X windows do not have borders. Only the corner is draggable.

Nope
I'm going to cry. Seriously Panther is awesome but these would be sooooo easy to add and be awesome! Who knows why SMB crashes so much but dragging folders into Dock submenus, Save and Shutdown, and draggable window borders have to be easy to add? Come on Apple! I'll email them.

Ah yes I noticed that too, I bet it's fixed. Remember how long that disappearing cursor thing while renaming files took to fix!

Unfortunately not.
Press Shift-Command-n, an untitled folder appears that is not editable, then you have to wait a moment before you can hit the return key to make it editable. If you press return too early, you can edit the name for a fraction of a second before the field turns static again. I really don't like it and never did in Jaguar either.
How much processing utilization do you consider "lots?" Quickly dragging a window around on my iBook (with Jaguar) takes around 30-34% of the CPU. I've never had a problem with window dragging -- it's always been great in OS X.
Yes, it looks good and it is fast but 35% cpu is far too much as everything should be done on the gpu. It's probably the drop shadow... I don't know.
When it is already available to the public, not before. Ergo, we don't know the exact answer to that. Sometime between October and December 1 would be my guess. Once it ships, it will be at least a couple weeks before boxed computers start showing up on store shelves with Panther. There is always a lag time with that sort of thing.
Imagine you mac is connected on an always on connection, at home... then you have one of these nice Palm with wireless network... you are in the street and you sync with your mac at home...
That is just a guess, but I have seen a previous rumour that mentioned OTA syncing.
Here's my request.
There is excellent evidence OTA is on the way.
Can someone delve into the sync framework or iSync.app to find traces of the name of the server at .mac that's going to be taking care of this?
It'll be in the /system/components/syncservices (maybe).
I don't think I've noticed any comments about iCal. Has this app been updated as yet or no? There are some really basic features they need to add to that application, which, I'll be genuinely disappointed if they don't address.
Talking about things like being able to take multi-hour or multi-day events and visually split them up so that "gap events" can be scheduled and accounted for. Also the inspector palette would be more useful as a toolbar I think; gets in the way of certain view types. I'm pretty sure we'll see some kind of update; I just hope it arrives with (and not after) Panther.
I suspect it should be available a bit sooner than six months. I mean, if it's not well-baked they won't release it but you'd think they'd want it on store shelves by December 1 for the gift-buying season. No?
no seperators in listview though, i know it's very os9, but i liked the seperators between the folders and miss them in osX
That's actually a good idea. If they want to go metal, they should indeed take a hint from iTunes (and other apps) for the list view, with alternating blue-white patterning. That might be one thing to make me stomach that new finder better, not that they should cater the system to my needs only, but hey...

my prediction: it will be on sale by the friday after thanksgiving, the biggest shopping day of the year...
Has there been any effort made to make the graphite theme more universal? Ever since Apple started to make all their own custom widgets, they seem to be relegating graphite to second class.

Apple Panther did make note of this.
Anybody know how this could be?
Debug code.

"Remote device" in iSync :
As I said the menu is greyed, so cannot test...
But I suppose this is for OTA (Over The Air).

In about six months. It isn't even nearly finished.
