Quicklook: Copy text out of Quicklook text previews

Submitted by Flauchhaus on August 14, 2008 to Annoyance

Often users have to copy a small text passage (phone number for example) from a document. The user can preview documents with Quicklook but they have to open the main program to just copy text off the document. This is especially annoying when the main (more...)

Make text in Quicklook select- and copyable.

QuickLook: Play animated GIFs

Submitted by Flauchhaus on August 13, 2008 to Annoyance, Bug

QuickLook won't play animated gif files, it just shows the first frame. Users have to use Safari or other 3rd party picture viewers to fully preview animated gifs.

Enable playing .gif animations in QuickLook, or provide a .gif plugin for QuickLook.

Merge folders option when copying/moving

Submitted by Flauchhaus on August 12, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

When copying a folder to a location where a folder with the same name already exists the only option is to replace the folder (and loosing all files from the replaced folder) or stop the copy/move operation.

Add a "merge" button/option when there are duplicate foldernames while copying/moving, so the user can choose what he wants.

QuickLook: Sound volume of QuickLook not adjustable and too loud by default

Submitted by Flauchhaus on August 11, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

When i QuickLook audio/videofiles the volume is too loud (like playing with 100% volume in iTunes), the same behavior was also in Finder file preview of Tiger, but there was a volume slider. In QuickLook/Leopard there is only an option to mute the sound. (more...)

Add an volume slider to QuickLook and/or don't set it to 100% by default (maybe sync the volume with iTunes or system sound effects volume)

List the apps that prevents unmounting

Submitted by Flauchhaus on August 11, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

Ejecting external storage devices often isn't possible because some app/process still using the device. When trying to eject/unmount the finder just pops up an error message saying that the device isn't ejectable and you have to close the apps (more...)

When unmounting fails the finder should list which apps/processes are preventing it, and optionally switch to the app.

Finder: Tabbed browsing in Finder

Submitted by Flauchhaus on August 11, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

The Finder has no tabbed browsing option. Tabbed browsing would improve productivity for anyone who is familiar and comfortable with tabbed browsing (a lot of users). Tabbed Browsing is an option in Safari and the Terminal, why not in the Finder?

Add tabbed browsing in Finder, and the ability to drag files to tabs to move/copy them to the location of the tab.
