Leopard Tricks Tips and Tools

Today Apple have updated their web site with some Snow Leopard information, including a ‘notify me’ link. Other news is that if you purchased your new Mac after June 8th, you’ll be eligible for a discount on the cost of Snow Leopard ($14.95 AUD I believe).

So Apple have published a new page to their site(s) titled Enhancements and Refinements (for Snow Leopard)

http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/enhancements-refinements.html

Here’s just some of the features I’ve picked out:

• Put Back from the Trash
• Better Disk Eject behaviour, including telling you what App has a disk Open
• Setting default search location to Current folder 
• Printer Driver Updates
• Split Pane terminal is back!
• Apparently some super file sharing energy saving magic:
  Quote:

  With Snow Leopard and a compatible AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule base station, a computer that acts as a file or media server can go to sleep yet continue to share its files with other computers and devices, saving energy.

• Date in the Menu bar. It seems small, but seeing todays date at a glance is very useful
• GPU acceleration for QuickTime X Video decoding
• Exchange support
• Data Detectors now identify fly details
• Multi-Touch for older laptops
• Grand Central Dispatch + OpenCL

Head on over to the Apple site and have a good read, it’s worth a look.
