I've got a few main gripes with Leopard. Can anyone help?
1. Spotlight doesn't work on text in the middle of a file name. Has it always been this way? So if I search for "ourc" on a file named "outsourcing" nothing shows up. Now maybe that's not a good example, but there are plenty of searches I do like that that make more sense.
2. Spotlight (or line searches as I call them when used in a folder) refuses to "remember" the fact that I ALWAYS want to search from my current location and NOT the entire freaking computer. This is a giant let down compared to Tiger, which remembered this choice. Any ways around this.
3. I can find no way to drag and drop network volumes into my sidebar. I can drag in a FOLDER that is on a remote volume, but not the volume itself. This makes it more difficult to get to volumes I use frequently. Tiger never had this issue. For example, our file server is an old Mac tower with six hard drives connected to it. Under Leopard, I can see the file server name in the "shared" area of the sidebar. Great. Now when I click on that file server under "shared" I see all the hard drives attached. Great. Now I drag one to the sidebar and it won't let me drop it anywhere there. I really need quick access to those hard drives from save/open dialogs. Help! Is part of the problem that our file server is running Tiger? Would it be different if all machines were running Leopard?

I've got to say, Leopard is by far the most troublesome upgrade in OS X history for me. Yes, it's got way cool stuff (Quickview is fantastic and going to get better as devs catch up). But for me no other previous OS X upgrade (and I've gone through every version) has given me this much headache. Here's to hoping it's just growing pains.
