Unable to open more than one quicklook window.

Wrote on August 19, 2008, 6:07pm

I agree ^. And you can toggle back and forth between files. If you want to do more than look at them one by one then open them. Lots of programs have the ability to tile windows so you can look at two at the same time, perfect for comparing documents.

Switching Spaces automatically causes windows from previous app to be front

So in that example, you have Safari in two different spaces?

After deleting a file, the next file should be selected

Wrote on August 15, 2008, 11:58pm

I also agree! I often go through folders with a lot of files and want to delete along the way, but get kicked back to the top after each delete. The reason for deleting one at a time is that you often don't know exactly what you'll be deleting until you've looked at it, so going through a folder and looking at files before choosing to delete them is the way to do that.

Time Machine backup progress window can be moved under Dock

What windows bounce up when you put them behind the dock? I can put all my windows behind the dock.

Finder Sidebar irregularities with long-named external drives and discs.

Wrote on August 15, 2008, 11:55pm

I'm not sure I understand this... you have a problem with the fact that the sidebar gets bigger in order to show you the full name of the items in it?

A small visual indication that an application is minimized in CMD-Tab view

Wrote on August 15, 2008, 11:53pm

Yeah, I think it would be easier if it just automatically maximized when you selected it - that is, in the case where the application has only one window, and that window is minimized.

Key combination Cmd+Tab doesnt cycle windows, only Apps

Wrote on August 14, 2008, 6:41am

Ohh, I was trying command+'. Silly that those keys look so alike.

I wouldn't want to tab between all windows in all apps, if you can tab between apps and tab between windows in the app it seems like all the functionality is already built in.

"Command+` does this."

Uh... no it doens't.

What's wrong with just decompressing?

Lack of feedback cursor for window resizing

Wrote on August 13, 2008, 3:29am

I agree, but think it should be a similar curser as the one for changing column sizes, except at an angle.

Icon inconsistency

I agree about the scroll bars in iTunes not matching... something should defiitely be done about that.

Dialog windows lack keyboard shortcuts and tabbing (by default)

Wrote on August 12, 2008, 5:52pm

This is ridiculous. If you don't like the way it is by default, and there's an option to change it, then just change it. Not everyone is going to agree on the best way to do things, which is exactly why there are options for changing the way things work. Whichever one is default really doesn't matter - I'd imagine the current default is set because it used to be ONLY like that before they added the option, and they didn't want people having to look through system preferences to find the place to change it BACK to the way it always was before.

Merge folders option when copying/moving

Wrote on August 12, 2008, 5:49pm

abitgone - if you copy a folder containing files to a place where a folder of that same name with different files already resides, "replace" replaces the entire folder and its contents with the new folder and it's different contents, with no option to merge the contents of the two folders if they differ.

I agree this option would be great, I'd use it often.

Finder should remember windows size

Wrote on August 12, 2008, 1:02am

It already does this.
