10.8 All the Little Things!

[PurrBall]

Disk Utility is showing all partitions now, even hidden ones such as EFI and Recovery.

Edit: My 6750m is doing UI animations wicked smooth in this build. Finally some decent drivers?

The Open Dialog for Text Edit now has an options button.

What's the point?

I'm not sure what the point of this update was but most of the bugs I had before still remain. Private Browsing in Safari is broken, Dragging and ungrouped window from Mission Control to a new screen will completely freeze the system and you will have to restart it to get out of missions control, HTML5 still crashes in Youtube, and Launchpad's still doesn't display properly on 1920x1080 resolution. I'd love to know what they actually fixed?

Showing all partitions is not on by default. You must have done that before.

Lots of new drivers. Just because it's big, doesn't mean it is useless.

Thank you for saying this I wish I could up vote this 20 billion times.

Those options for Flurry aren't new; they've been there at least since Tiger (10.4).

The new slideshow options look nice, however!

 

[Hezzaa]

For some reason App Store isn't showing up the new update for me. What to do?

It's redesigned, though. Less cluttered than Lion.

Have you clicked software update in the Apple menu?

Same problem here last night. I had to go to SysPrefs>Software Update for it to appear. Just doing Apple>Software Update showed nothing.

Yeah, didn't help.

Got it working through this tho, thanks!

The preference pane itself has been redesigned, true. I thought you were referring to the little sheet containing options for Flurry - that is unchanged from previous Mac OS X versions

Syntactically, your reply makes little to no sense.

Compare:

"Just because it's big, doesn't mean it is useless."
"Just because it's small, doesn't mean it is useless." <- Sounds better but is irrelevant to Arianismmm's reply.

To fix the irrelevancy, your reply should have been something along these lines:

"Just because it's big, doesn't mean it has a lot of noticeable changes."

There's another grammatical term you might be familiar with. It's called "context." Based on the nature of the discussion leading to his comment, everybody, including even you apparently, understood what was being implied.

Nobody cared to read your post. Ugh. I hate people like you.

When closing an unsaved document, it's back to "Don't Save" now instead of "Delete." Bummer.

TextEdit still says Delete for me.

 

[Solowalker]

Odd. TextEdit says that for me, too. But Automator says Don't Save. I guess there's a consistency bug.

And by the way, I don't think anyone else posted this, but the iCloud section of the Open window for Preview and TextEdit have a metallic cloud like the iCloud logo now instead of just the cloud outline. Compare:

Safari seems to be super-charged with this new 10.8 update.

My God, it's flying!

It told everyone,

It Feels Snappier™.

 

[NJRonbo]

That it does!

And I love the way that the banner notifications kind of swoop in from the top...

...or at least that is the way it just appeared to me.

That's weird. Also noticed that Automator shows Save As by default in the File menu, but TextEdit does not. Hm.

Edit: Getting some graphics corruption using the Intel GPU. No bueno.


Also, not sure when this showed up, but System Profiler shows all Installations.
