Ranmaru Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 When you press Cmd-Shift-4 to take a partial screenshot, the crosshairs now show you the coordinates. Cute.

TheoCryst Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I also noticed that Pages documents don't work either, seems odd that Apple wouldn't support their own product. It will probably work with '07 of course. Hmm... maybe a sign that Pages/Keynote will be moving to OpenDocument...? That would be insanely great!

Vsquared Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Something I thought was nifty: when using the .mac portion of System Preferences, the "back to my mac" option allows screen sharing etc, i'm not sure if anyone saw this or thought it was worth noting...

spotlightthis Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 In the screensaver panel you can add a digital clock overlay to any screensaver. The neat part is, the position of the clock is based on where the hour hand would be on a traditional clock. So at noon it's at the top center of the screen, at three it's on the right, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/54912-nifties-in-leopard/page/2/#findComment-395685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hmm... maybe a sign that Pages/Keynote will be moving to OpenDocument...? That would be insanely great! I don't think they will, right now Pages documents are saved as a package (almost like an app). I guess that's how they store media in the file. They would have to change the entire file structure.

MasonMcD Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 It can also open/save Office 2007 Word documents. They don't work in Quick Look though. I also noticed that Pages documents don't work either, seems odd that Apple wouldn't support their own product. It will probably work with '07 of course. Pages works for me.

erbic Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 the screenshots on the apple site show everything on the desktop hidden....how do you do that? (third party software?) If you mean with no icons on the desktop, you can do that just by quitting the Finder. You either have to do it from Activity Monitor or use TinkerTool etc. to add the Quit option to the Finder menu. As long as there's something else open, the Finder won't automatically relaunch.

j4bba Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 you can view a full film in quick view, even full screen it and move to different points in the film. you need to install the codecs but it works a treat, dont need to even open quicktime or vlc now!

UnknownBadger Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 For those curious what multiple physical screens look like in spaces (yes mine are different resolutions, 1280x800 & 1680x1050). I was hoping to see all the spaces of one monitor grouped together on their relative screens, not for them all to be squashed on the main monitor.

Install the newest Perian (1.0) works a lot faster than 0.5, especially in CoverFlow. Only file it couldn't play was an xVid file.
