Exposé: Automatically update when a new window opens/closes
When a window opens or closes while expose is activated, Exposé doesn't update automatically, so for example it leaves an "death" window space when a window closes while in expose, or when a new window opens it just shows the window in (more...)
Automatically update Exposé on new/closed windows.
The only downside i could imagine is that new windows wouldn't be that noticeable when many windows are open. A short highlighting of the new window in Exposé would fix that nicely, also (more...)

iCal: add todos
If there is some free space in the todo list, then a double click on the white space adds a new todo item. But if the list is full so there is no white space, the only way to add an item is to use the menubar.
One possible solution is, to add a "add todo" icon to the bottom toolbar. This would look like a +, similar to the "add a calendar"-+.

If you connect to a network share via de "connect to server" dialog, normally after some time you're asked to enter the username and the password.
If you enter the wrong credentials after some time a message is displayed that informs (more...)
The try again button should allow the user to enter the credentials again. The field could be prefilled. So if the user enter the right credentials and the reason why this failed is another one, then the user has just to click ok.

Spaces: overview only on primary screen
On my dual screen setup I see the spaces overview only on my first screen. The second screen is black. This is a strange behaviour.
Show the spaces overview on each screen. Each screen should only show its own virtual desktops - not others

Dock: let users set the orientation
My dock is on the left side of the bottom of the screen - it's not centered. This option can only be activated via some "geek tools" like TinkerTool. Why isn't this a standard option of the Dock?

Let the user set the dock orientation: left/beginning, right/end, center.

If I want to delete a file which I'm not the owner of, then I have to enter my password (I'm in the admin group). The same happens if I want to move a file into a folder with different ownership.
But there is no way to rename a file with (more...)
Let the user rename files with different ownership the same way as normal renaming. Just ask for the password, then enable the rename mode.

If I plug in a (hfs+) usb hard drive Sportlight begins to scan the volume. As I don't want to search this volume this is completely useless - at least for me.

Finder: no resource forks on network volumes
If i connect to a samba file share, windows and linux users always complain for the strange ._* files that are left behind.
This happens, because non-nac filesystems don't support resource forks.
You can turn of this "feature" (more...)
An option to turn that off should be integrated into the normal finder preferences pane and should be disabled by default.
If the user copies a file to the network share and this will cause the loss of information stored in the resource fork, than (more...)
