Tiger Notes, vol. 3


When copying a file in Tiger, the progress box and the text within it have both become smaller. I like it.

Spotlight has taken over the world. It is now quite fiddly to do a simple Finder search for one named file in the folder you currently have open. Update: MacOSXHints recently noted that enclosing your search term in double quotes ( " ) seems to restricts the search to 'by name' only.

The truly awesome mail notification plugin Mail.appetizer no longer works, although Mail didn't actually notify me of this until after I had updated to 10.4.1.

DoubleCommand still hasn't been updated. Web browsing feels broken without one-handed page downs.
