A game changer that's already in macOS Mojave at that.
I'm not entirely sure this is new, but worth a shot: Finder now shows a loading... indicator when the directory load takes more than a few seconds.
That is old, it exists in beta 5 and possibly 4 as well. It always shows up when I connect my iPhone.
New Notifications Preference Pane icon:
isn’t the HD name set manually even when you clean install the macOS (and erase the partition)? How can you be so sure the new name is given by the macOS automatically?
I like where the sync is now - separated from Music and shown in the Sidebar this makes a lot of sense to me
Right click the Finder icon in the dock and get a list of recent folders. Sweet.
I know this is late, but would you (or someone here) be able to post the wallpapers? I'm not running the beta, but I'm curious about what these wallpapers are! I know of the default one that was showcased during the keynote and on the website, but that's all I know of.
Could you give us a screenshot showing how Finder displays audiobooks available for sync? iTunes' way of displaying them was horrible when you had more than a dozen books.
TBH - I use the Kindle Unlimited App on my Mac and iPad Pro for books so I don't really have anything to Sync - but here are a few more screen shots that might be helpful
Finder
Audiobooks
Files
Apple TV APP

I could be wrong, but I think there are some new ones there. (Screenshots are from beta 7)

Ah. Seems they added a few more Catalina ones. I am still downloading. Thanks for sharing!

Just finished updating. Wow. The desktop wallpaper looks stunning.
iCloud Drive is re-syncing, don't know why. So far, feels pretty good on my MacBook Air 2017. They pushed the release to October so they know it has some way to go, which can only be good for the OS. Looking forward!
Updated to Beta 8 here as well - 10.15 Beta (19A558d)- desktop pictures are definitely nicer,
at first glance not much seem different Music - Version 1.0.0.386 still seems the same - "search" is the same and no column browser - guess it's probably not going to return
It was a large update 4.7g so there mush have been a lot of updates ??
Thanks a lot! Unfortunately it means it is just as bad as iTunes.
LOL - I do like the fact that it is part of the finder now
I don't think there is any major differences - it was just moved "as is" out of iTunes / Music as far I can tell so far
my Apple TV app icon changed from black and blue to black and white. Haven’t seen this elsewhere, apologies if it’s old news

Has this been reported: New screensaver called Drift; Takes your current desktop colors and swirls it around.
Very cool. A must see. Multiple choices of color but defaults to your desktop picture.
Edit: I see that is has been widely reported by various Mac News Sources - disregard the entry above.
