My wishlist has one item that has several parts to it. That one items is:
Fix the bugs in 10.8.
1. Dragging and dropping to Dock icon bugs
(A) When dragging and dropping content like text or images from one app to another's Dock icon, the resulting untitled document will still show up as unsaved even if you save it (the red close circle will still have the dark area in the center indicating the file is unsaved); This can be reproduced by dragging an image from Safari to Preview's dock icon, or dragging text from any app to TextEdit's dock icon
(B) As a followup to the previous bug, when an application which has auto-save enabled (such as TextEdit) crashes after dragging and dropping content to the application as described in (A) and the application is then re-opened, the content that was dragged and dropped creating that untitled document will be missing
2. QuickTime Bugs (Or Possibly Features Removed Inexplicably)
(A) QuickTime 10.2 removed the ability to select a folder to record audio recordings, video recordings, and screen recordings to; This means that it is impossible to record to anything other than the boot disk;
(B) QuickTime 10.2's documentation says that files will be automatically saved as they are recorded to the Movies Folder, but they are actually automatically saved to an Auto Save folder invisible to the user; they are not automatically or permanently saved anywhere that is accessible to the user
(C) Unlike previous versions of QuickTime, the user needs to somehow save these files (they were previously automatically saved to the Movies folder or whichever folder the user selected); there is no Save command under File and Command-S does not help either; In spite of these files having no dark depression in the red close button, clicking the red button will prompt the user to "Save changes to the untitled document," which doesn't make sense given that the user never saved the file a first time; At this point the user can only choose to export the file, and even if choosing to export it to the original format, the export takes place as if it is converting the file from one type to another when it in fact is not
(D) Exporting files in this way causes the recordings to lose the correct date / time stamp; To avoid this, I have found the user can find the invisible auto-save folder and directly drag the files out of that folder to a chosen folder; This creates no export time and ensures the files have the correct date / time stamp; however, I have experienced QuickTime crashing while doing this, which results in problems too long to explain here
(E) QuickTime 10.2 creates proxy icons in the title bar for untitled documents; this goes against Apple's human user interface guidelines; there is no purpose for a proxy icon if the user has not yet saved the file; also one would expect that right-clicking on the proxy icon would show the folder path of the fileit does not
3. Mission Control / Expose Bugs (Or Possibly Features Removed Inexplicably)
(A) When many applications and windows are open, and Mission Control is set to group windows by application, Mission Control does not adequately display windows even when they are magnified; they overlap and are too small to identify
(B) When magnifying a window under App Expose or Mission Control using the space bar to see it at full size, the ability to move between all windows in their magnified state no longer function as of Lion; Previously this was a very helpful way to identify a document among many; The user could simply magnify one window by pressing the space bar and then tap left or right to see all the windows in this state; Tapping left or right no longer functions as of Lion
I'm sure there are many more bugs and problems with previous features not working correctly I could think of, but these are the top ones that come to mind.
Thank you for reading. And yes, these have all been reported to Apple, I have no expectation that these issues will be fixed. Apple's response through engineering to me was, "Inform the customer that the behaviors he has described are expected and normal behavior."
