Snow Leopard Enhancements and Refinements

Apps, Leopard, Snow Leopard No Comments »

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.
