Movie/Video files and folder mess
The OS X user directory has Movies/Music/Pictures subfolders. Very logical and intuitive. Music for music, Movies for video files, etc. So when I drag a movie into iTunes where does it store the file? Right: in /Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Videos. Additionally, (more...)
Use the Music folder for music, Movies for movies.

Easy switch between monitors
You have no control on which monitor you want to have on and which not. I use an external monitor on my MacBook Pro. When connecting the external monitor I can not disable the laptop monitor.
On a pc laptop it is possible to cycle through monitor modes like: external - laptop - clone view - extended desktop. It would be nice if MacOS has the same possibility.

Resize windows from all edges
Why be able to resize only from the bottom right corner?
It's much more natural to be able to drag any perimeter pixel of the window to indicate your intention to resize.

"delete" & "rename" option during "open" & "save as" dialogs!
Often when I save files I would love to rename an existing file, in order to keep the new and the old file name's coherent....but I can't do that on the fly! I would love to be able to rename (or move to trash) from within the program's (more...)

Front Row runs on primary monitor only and blanks the others
On a dual monitor setup, Front Row runs on primary display only, blacking all others out.
It prevents you from working on your mac while secondary display showing photos/movies/music through Front Row to your family or friends.
Give user an option to choose on which monitor Front Row will show, not blacking out any others. Route Apple Remote commands to Front Row when running.
This will allow setup Front Row for your wife/children/guests like this:

Finder: integrate SCP connections into "Connect to server"
This is a feature request!
It would be nice if the Finder would support ssh/scp connections fia the "connect to server dialog": eg ssh://myserver/share or scp://myserver/share
Implement ssh/scp protocol support for the "connect to server" dialog

Make software update notification discoverable when hidden beneath other windows
When "Software Update" notification (where you chose whether to install immediately or see the list of updated applications) pops up, it is a dialog-style window.
If, by accident, it's covered by another window, there's (more...)
Current solutio is: minimize, close or hide all windows until you get to the Software Update confirmation box
Actual solution would be: make the nitfication appear on the Cmd-Tab list and make the click on the software update icon in the (more...)

Finder: Folders first please! (folders on top)
When I open Finder and try to find some file I have to scroll all the page down to see the folders. And this is so anoying, because I have to scroll down a hundred times to find something.
Folders should be first "type of file", and be always the first to appear in each drive, folder or subfolder on Finder and on Open / Save dialogs of all Apps.
Apple could create a button “show folders first”. Thus who want (more...)

Stacks should update changes such as renaming and custom icons
When making changes such as renaming files, or customizing icons, they are not updated on a stack. For example, when renaming a file, if the stack is sorted by name, it doesn't re-arrange by the new naming. Also when customizing icons within a folder, (more...)
Stacks should update any and all changes such as renaming and custom icons.

Preview - Next/Previous active for single item
If you have a single item open in preview the next/previous buttons are still active and clickable. This is counter-intuitive because it hints that there are next and previous items.
In Safari (and other browsers) the next and previous (more...)
I believe they should be greyed out according to the following rules:
[1] Single item - both buttons greyed out
[2] First item - previous button greyed out
[3] Last item - next button greyed out

Window Management: autosize windows that are larger than the screen
If you start an application (like iCal, Mail, Safari) and maximize it to the screensize the actual window size is stored. The next time the app starts up, the size is restored.
So far, this behaviour is greate.
But if you restart your computer (more...)
Adjust the window width to the current screen width if the window is wider than the screen.

Finder's back button overrides folder settings
When using the Finder's back button, it overrides folder settings. That often results in inadequate views for your folders. For example, cover flow is inadequate for a folder that contains generic folders.

Autorotate in iPhoto should be lossless (and don't preserve original)
iPhoto automatically rotates imported photos using camera orientation in EXIF, if available.
The problem is, the rotation is lossy and the unrotated original is still stored in iPhoto library, even though in iPhoto it is not accessible. When you (more...)
The logical way is either
1) Leave the JPEG intact and rotate the picture every time it is viewed (this is easy to code with no slowdown at all).
2) While importing, losslessly rotate the JPEG, clear the EXIF camera orientation data and (more...)
