Jaguar 10.2 Build 6C48 Seed Info

Think Secret has posted information about the latest seed of Jaguar, 6C48.

According to sources, the new build has a slightly new setup for "Show Info" in the Finder. In the current release of OS X, 10.1.4, Show Info brings up a dynamic inspector that changes depending on which file is selected. In the developer preview of Jaguar, the (vastly expanded) Show Info command worked similar to that in OS 9, with the capability to have multiple Get Info windows open at once. Build 6C48 provides the best of both worlds: Command-I brings up a static info window, while Command-Option-I opens a dynamic info palette. In addition, there are several bug fixes to Show Item Info, with new information on a variety of document types.

As for File Sharing, the new build expands Jaguar's SMB compatibility, with support for both SMB browsing from the "Connect To" control, along with SMB file sharing via the new Sharing panel in the System Preferences.

SMB sharing? Awesome! As for the Show Info windows, hmmm. Interesting. I guess from the context menu, it will be the static window, and Option clicking will be the dynamic?

Isn't that to do with Samba? If so then I won't have to install it!! Great:D

Samba is a free open source release of SMB. OS X already includes SMB for mounting, but not sharing.
 
"Build 6C48 provides the best of both worlds: Command-I brings up a static info window, while Command-Option-I opens a dynamic info palette."

Build 6C35 does this as well. Command-I brings up a static infor window, while command-p opens a dynamic info palette.
 
Holy Sweetness!

SMB file sharing was one of my biggest desires for Jag-wire. This is great news. :D

HUH??

When I use Connect to Server, nothing shows up in the window. I have a peesee in my network with a share enabled and it doesn't show up in this build. Now I know it's a beta and all but I don't see what they see...

And it is presumed that all of the features on this list are not necessarily implemented in the current builds, correct?

At any rate, that's a boatload of features. I can't wait! :D
 
the "pulsating gum drop of death"...

Doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely as "scud", or "spinning cursor of death", but it looks nicer...
 
I too loved the pulsating gumdrop of death. And, good riddance to the pin-striped background for the dock!

One question... The Ink capabilities. I haven't really paid much attention to it, but any word on how one will use it? Tablets? How about touch screens??? New keyboards with a little writing area?
 
Tablets, at least for now, until an iPad with Mac OS X Lite comes out :p

However, as far as I know, none of the released builds have included the Ink stuff.
 
Yeah, I just checked, it supports it. But I'm not sure how to change the away message. Under the menu item there's an option under "Available" called "Away."

Currently, the away message displayed for that is "Sorry, I'm unavailable" or something..
 
I have a couple of questions.

In iChat is that for AOL user's only or can you add mac.com members also?

Which browser takes advantages of the QE? Does it have to be a cocoa browser?
 
If i remember correctly, your mac.com address is your iChat name. In certain instances (like when there is already an aol user with your mac.com name) your iChat name would be name@mac.com. In my case, I am apb3 for mac.com and A hOL e so i guess I could use apb3 or apb3@mac.com in iChat...

I had this discussion a while back so someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

second question:

QE will make everything work faster as long as you have a supported graphics card. I don't think which browser or whatever you use will matter.
 
If you sign on with your @mac.com username, then your screen name always ends in @mac.com. This is how they avoid duplicates. You can also sign on with a regular AOL-aquired Screen Name. I've tested both ways.

And yes, Quartz Extreme speeds up everything.
