10.8 All the Little Things!

Just noticed these, new column headers in list view.
Click to expand...

They're like this in Lion, but only if you arrange the icons by name (as opposed to just sorting them). Is it the same in Mountain Lion, i.e., do the column headers look different if you choose Arrange By: None?

I wonder why it's not actually arranging the icons by name anymore, just sorting.. (if you arrange by size or something different you'll see what it should look like)

You're right! However, I've never used this menu, so it's possibly a new default?

New kernel panic flow. Instead of the old black shade falling down on the screen and then relying on the user to read the message and manually restart the machine, when a panic happens the machine immediately shuts itself off and reboots to a new panic screen as part of the startup process. It's the normal grey background with a slightly darker grey text on top (it was actually a little hard to read). The message text has been changed slightly, but still notifies the user that something happened and rather than giving user instructions on how to get the computer running again it said it would finish booting in a few seconds. It dismissed before I could take a picture.

+1 ;-)
Makes sense. Mac OS X requires HFS+ Journaled as the file system for the startup disk. This file system recovers the needed file system metadata after a kernel panic or power failure. The current kernel panic code removes all drivers, even the drivers for the chipset, GPU(s) and the CPU, and disables your entire machine. So why should we need a kernel panic screen, if we can do nothing with our machine at this moment?

Not sure if this has been reported before or if it maybe existed earlier, but i think there's a new option for iCloud with textedit wile opening a document, to choose the text encoding.

Honestly, I'm not sure that option is referring to kernel panics. Freezing ≠ panic. I'd be interested in a solid confirmation.



Also, unfortunately it seems Apple has removed the ability to have nested folders in iCloud. :(

From what I know, even with that always checked, I've still gotten kernel panics, and had to restart with the old screen in the first DP. I believe that is just if the system becomes unresponsive.

Right, that's what I always thought. Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy (at least in this regard).

Here's something interesting. New prompt when using screen sharing with another user already logged into the machine you're trying to use. Multi-user confirmation.

When you press ALT before clicking on the Apple logo, new options popup.
Click to expand...
What new options you mean? Using the option key to reveal additional options in the context menu has been there for quite some time now (I now it was in Tiger, perhaps even before that).

When you press the Windows logo key while dragging your "logged in name", sound icon, bluetooth icons, etc, it will move it, and make it magically disappear so no longer will you see them anymore (yes bug).

This also has been there for quite some time now (at least since Tiger) and definitely is not a bug but normal behaviour. The key you are referring to is called the command key and was previously better known as the Apple key (mostly because of the Apple logo on it).

It would be wise to at least verify that something is a Mountain Lion only feature which isn't in Lion. If you did you'd have seen the above in Lion as well.

More ontopic: how does the social networking stuff work, is it off by default, are you able to disable it? I'm hoping it is not like in iOS5 where you do not have to fill in a Twitter account and yet are still bugged about it in every app that supports it. If you are using a Twitter account it makes sense to have those options, but there is no sense in having those options when you are not using Twitter. I don't want to use social networking so I'd also not like to be bugged about it but it is not like I can't live with it if it does still bug me.

He doesn't even use a keyboard with the Command key. Not surprised he isn't a real Mac user.
 
I don't know if it's new but folders in Launchpad now display a badge, too. Just like on iOS.

Anybody else getting a kernel panic every time you close your laptop and open it? It's pretty inconvenient as much as I love the new kernel panic screen.

Is it really a new screen? Could you snap a photo?

My MacBook wakes almost fine, but it can occasionally take up to two minutes to sleep which Apple is investigating.
 
I've reinstalled ML for the first time after DP1 and it feels much better. It may be my new SSD drive, but it's much faster and smoother than before. I won't notice changes that much since I've began using OSX with Lion a few months ago. One thing I've noticed is that Notes sync with iCloud isn't working. It worked in DP1 but doesn't in DP3+OTA. It worked magically..

Well SSD adds a lot to the performance, even for basic tasks.

I don't either because I'm using a mechanical keyboard from Filco. Am sill looking for some other keycaps like the command key but it is a very nice keyboard to type on. I did switch the alt and winkey though so it is at least more Mac-like (KeyRemap4MacBook does wonders as well). I'm hoping I can continue to use this setup under Mountain Lion.
 
does anyone else lack some menus in energy saving pref pane like put hdd to sleep et etc ?? see pic thanks!

This still always happens ! Anyone?

This thread is not a support area, please create a separate thread for that.

It looks like it is a Twitter issue. Try removing the twitter account from your system preferences and see if it'll help. Don't respond here, do it in a new thread if it doesn't help.
 
Looks like the Time Machine system preferences panel got a facelift sometime recently (DP3 Update 2, maybe?) See the image:
