Just caught the ‘merge folder’ comment. That is a perfect example of deleting files by accident. When moving from the Windows platform, I accidentally replaced folders on several occasions assuming a merge was taking place.

I’ve vote that if the password was entered incorrectly, the OS would delete and format the hard disk. After all, since we are not supposed to make mistakes, its obviously the right thing to do from a security standpoint!

Seriously, ‘Put Back” is perfect for those times you do an opps! It happens to all of us, some just refuse to admit it publicly.

Resolution Independence can be enjoyed right now via Safari 4. Zooming the text (command +) in Safari 4 renders all text with Resolution Independence – while zooming, the integrity and sharpness of the fonts are maintained. Greatly looking forward to Grand Central (this alone makes the upgrade worthwhile) as well as ZFS, cocoa apps, cocoa Finder and hopefully, tabbed Finder windows.

How about an option to merge folders instead of replacing them? I doubt I will ever own another PC but this is one feature I really miss from Windows. For me, this alone would be worth the price of the upgrade.

Howie Isaacks: “I don’t understand the big deal about the “put back” feature. If I trash something by mistake, command-Z puts it back. This just seems to be a dumb feature to care about.”

Yeah, cmd-z is great and all (IIRC there wasn’t an ‘undo’ in the OS 9 Finder), as long as you don’t do anything in between trashing and realizing you trashed the wrong file. (What confuses me, aside from Apple taking it out of the Finder in the first place, is how so many people are oblivious to the fact that ‘undo’ only reverses the *last* action taken. Even support for multiple-levels of undo wouldn’t work, because what if you don’t want to undo all the other things you did?

The best thing about “Snow Leopard” OS is the wallpaper!
Oh man…I just love the texture on a mac when it has that nice wallpaper…

Best regards,

Folder structures from grid view will be helpful.

And how about a way for finder to keep my search term in the search box while I pick different search sources (different partitions or external drives.)

While they’re fixing leopard a few slightly more MAJOR tweaks are necessary. Like sub 28kbps connections to remote webservers using Samba (hell on toast!), ridiculously flaky printing over Windows networks (a bridgehead into the PC /business market not likely anytime soon), oh and most recent macbooks with firewire connections find them disabled by a driver glitch to which there is STILL no fix. So that’s printing, networking and connecting drives/cameras. Nice one Apple!

@DBX
Apps that put their support files in the Documents folder are simply bad OS X citizens. I would kick them out or something. Or write their developers a angry e-mail.

Office is the only really major offender I know, I don’t know when I last encountered another app that littered the Documents folder with its crap. But there is a easy solution to the Office problem: quit all Office apps and move the Office folder to Users:YourName:Library:Preferences. Apparently Microsoft figured that some find the placement of the Office user data folder inside the Documents folder objectionable and made it possible to put the Office user data folder in a more sane place (but I would guess that the Application Support folder would be even more right).
