Shouldn't have to EJECT a thumb drive
Why oh why must I be forced to drag my thumb drive's icon to the trash to eject it? This has been lame since I bought my first Mac in 1994. Windows users are shocked when they want to remove their thumb drive and I tell them they need to drag it (more...)
Just let me pull the thing out of the USB slot. The OS is smart enough to notice it's gone missing, so it should be smart enough to free up any resources it had allocated to the drive before it was removed.

Moving files via Finder
Problems when you want to organize and preview files in finder. As you browse your way down several folders you loose the overview because folders dont use expand collapse as in windows. Then when you want to move a file you have to drag it to a certain (more...)
An easy solution would be to ad some shortcuts.
shortcut 1: alt + m = dialog: move file(s) to - browse folders - ok
shortcut 2: alt + c = dialog: copy file(s) to - browse folders - ok
shortcut 3: alt + e = dialog: edit file(s) (more...)

Delete a File by Pressing Delete Key
Why is it that when you select a file anywhere in the OS - desktop, finder, etc, but then click Delete, it does not delete the file? I understand clicking Cmd-Delete deletes the file, but why not just "Delete"?
What is the point (more...)
Enable deletion of files by only clicking the delete key. Do NOT require cmd-delete or any other combination.

Apple! Stop stereotyping PCs!
Apple, you are extremely childish using a PC monitor with a Windows 9x style BSOD as an icon for PCs on a computer network under Mac OS X. At least Microsoft don't stereotype your products!
Quit poking stereotypes at Microsoft, and everything will be fine.

Floating pallets and windows that hide themselves when switching between applications
Some applications have windows or floating pallets that hide when changing between applications. If I switch to another application, the information in these windows is now hidden and can't be seen until the original application is active again.
(more...)
Don't hide windows. At least have a button on them to make them stay visible when switching apps.
Handy workaround: Use Dashboard Stickies to copy the information, which doesn't hide the windows in the background.

Clicking Title Bar 4 times causes Window to minimize and open.
This only happens if you have double tap to minimize. Of course this isn't a bad thing. You can double tap again (in the 0.5 second frame) to save the window.
This seems to happen only with some apps...

Folder Icons: they are UGLY!
I hate the new Leopard folder icons -. they're just plain ugly. Why not use something more colorful and easy to recognize.
I use the tool LiteIcon to change the folder icons, but some kind of built-in icon-theme-switcher would be nice.
Use different Icons for folders, eg. like the ones in the screenshot.

Remove Finder's 'light' unless a finder window is actually open.
Finder always appears to be open - demonstrated by the lighted dot underneath the icon on the desktop. That light should only be active if a finder window is actually open. Sure Apple says that finder is always active, with spotlight etc - but as far (more...)
Finder's "light" below the icon should only appear when a finder window has been opened. It should not be a permanent fixture.

Unable to see icons on menu bar if there are too many
When you switch to an app with a lot of menus, your icons on the right get cut away, never to be found unless you which to e.g. finder, which has less menus.
This also happens when you switch to lower resolutions for projectors and such. (more...)
Double clicking the apple icon will push another "menu bar" below the actual one. Then you can drag icons into the additional bar, including system ones, by using the "command" modifier. (FYI, did you know that you can reorder system (more...)
