I'm not on Leopard yet. Will be in a couple of days I'm glad .1 came out in time.

 

[praka123]

does that data loss bug fixed on this release?

 

[goobimama]

Ooh golly! I think I can manage the 39MB download on my dialup...

 

[preshit.net]

@praka: Yes, they seem to have fixed that bug in this.

@goobi: My dealer said that he'll be getting an upgrade disk that will upgrade my Tiger to Leopard. I'm just wondering if all my apps / settings / plugins will remain intact ?

 

[goobimama]

Yep. All the apps, settings, emails, addresses, stuff remains intact. But I'd advice you to backup before you do any of this...

I forgot that the ones who pay $10 for the upgrade disc can only upgrade and not clean install. Kind of sucks in case you need to reinstall Leopard at a later date...

 

[preshit.net]

Yea, does suck. I'll make sure I backup my stuff before the upgrade. Thanks

 

[goobimama]

Btw, I'd also suggest you download the welcome video from some torrent site and watch it before using Leopard. It's not technical or anything, just a nice animation which you miss out on while upgrading. You might remember the Welcome video when you first started Tiger... All this if you are one of 'those' types. If you are a normal computer user then it should not matter...

 

[preshit.net]

Is that the one with "Welcome" in all different languages ?

LOL @ Take a looksie at this *www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJCnzBs4XDs

 

[goobimama]

Yep! (if only this smiley had a wider smile)

 

[preshit.net]

Actually

I've been keeping up with the folks at tuaw I really like the soundtrack of the intro.

( I think drgrudge's name should be added to the first post )

 

[goobimama]

Oh please don't watch the intro in youtube quality. High def is the way to go!

 

[yash]

OMG! that video was HILARIOUS! I wanna know how he made that tho.

 

[preshit.net]

@goobi: You didn't see that, did ya ?

 

[goobimama]

Nope. I'm on dialup trying to download the .1 update...

Maybe I'm a little stupid, but here's the intro video for those who missed it or want to watch it again:

Copy this address and paste it into the Finder menu > Go > Go to Folder:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app/Contents/Resources/TransitionSection.bundle/Contents/Resources

There's two files in there, one for video, one for audio. Merge them together using Quicktime or something and it's done!

 

[RCuber]

^^ you downloading the 35+MB one or the 110MB? he he cant immagine when 110 will get downloaded on dialup

 

[sakumar79]

Goobi, is the InstantSnapback feature similar to the FastForward and Rewind buttons in Opera? Also, does Safari have 1. ability to "Paste and Go" with one shortcut (not Ctrl+V to paste and then enter to go, instead Ctrl+Shift+V to paste and go) and 2. ability to modify shortcut keys to our requirements?

Well it is 110MB on the site, but if one uses the software update feature, the size varies. I got 39MB.

Btw, installed it. Not sure what to do now. Seems the same to me
EDIT: Ah. The network bug is still there it seems. Where sometimes Network PCs don't pop up in the "shared" menu of the Finder sidebar. Got to remove the LAN cable and plug it back in for that to happen although I connect directly using the IP...

@sakumar: I haven't used Opera so...
1) Not sure what this feature is.
2) On the mac you can change ANY shortcut for ANY application so... But on the PC I guess one has to use the default ones (which are more windows-like in the latest update)

I upgraded to Leopard today Took around 35 minutes.

I notice one problem though, with iChat. When I apply the backdrop effects, it tells me to move out of the frame and it detects the background. Then when I reenter, iChat crashes. Any idea why ?

 

[goobimama]

Your face too ugly or something?

 

[preshit.net]

Nah, I'm actually wearing a printed mask. I printed out this image
