10.8 All the Little Things!

[MrAppleseed]

Are you able to pinch to zoom out and switch tabs? I have Safari 6 on Lion and it isn't working for me.

No, doesn’t work here either, unfortunately.

Some kind of new debugger. Never seen it before at least.

That's the Cocoa Auto-layout visualisation/debugger. It was new in Lion.

Does anyone know if iTunes will have a progress bar under the icon to track current downloads in progress? Kinda like the App Store does when you download an app? It would be nice to see how the progress is going while I'm doing other things.

So, can anyone explain what has happened to Menubar? On apple.com ML's page and in most screenshots it's not that translucent anymore. That's default?

Save as is back:

Can anyone confirm that Mountain Lion's Save As works as it always has in the past...that is, the save box opens to the SAME location as the file you're performing the Save As on?

One of the many things that made Duplicate suck was that the save box opened up to a completely unrelated location, forcing you to navigate back to the folder that contained the original file (which is where you want to save your new one in the majority of cases).

No, it looks the same as it has since Leopard.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but when a page is loading on Safari, the blue bar that loads up is much smoother. It looks much nicer and modern!

Eh idgi.

Wow... DP 4 is quite a bit larger then then the others. 4.35 GB, compared to 3.71, 3.69, and 3.74, respectively.

if you use monolingual to remove languages, it removes about 1GB of space. i usually do it after every update.

But that doesn't make it download faster. I don't care (usually) how much the download is, I was just surprised it was that much bigger.

I can confirm that "Save As" opens the Save dialog to the same directory as the current document.

All My Files is now showing documents from iWork on my iPhone. They won't open (default application is set to Terminal), but when I try to delete them it gives me a warning about how it'll remove it from all my devices.

Looks like Apple just posted their version of the "Little Things" ;D

I noticed the Trash icon got subtle changes. Can anyone confirm that?

Or better, can anyone extract trashempty.png and trashfull.png icons from /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources
and post a download link here, please?

Thank you! This was my biggest concern.

While I would prefer a switch that would disable the Auto Save/Versions/Duplicate paradigm altogether, I suspect this is as good as it will get.

I will upgrade both my home and my work Macs to Mountain Lion when it's released. I'm still on Snow Leopard at work, and had vowed to remain there unless Save As was restored.

 

[stueee123]

yes

It is different, looks nicer

Thank you. Looks very small, too.

I'd like to compare with my eyes, though...

Can anyone upload the real trash icon here, please ? or a screenshoot of a big, huge, max-sized, trash?

Is resume working on Finder in ML?

I mean, now if I close a Finder window in Lion when I open Finder again it will open my Finder's default window. However, what I really want is that Finder opens on the window that was opened before I close Finder.

The dock looks like frosted glass now... Don't recall that look before.
