- monospaced, on 10/31/2007, -0/+22It's pointless to list applications that work with Leopard. More importantly we should be listing applications that do not work perfectly, and have them updated.
- j1a1g1, on 10/28/2007, -3/+16Whatever you do, don't use disk warrior in Leopard! You'll have to reinstall
- SuperSunny, on 10/28/2007, -2/+9Firefox for Mac sucks anyways. Stick to Camino or use Safari (it's REALLY fast on Leopard), until the native Firefox Aqua Mac is done, which is kinda funny because Apple kinda dropped their Aqua look...
- macaddct1984, on 10/28/2007, -0/+5Quicksilver is working, it's just that the website is down atm, so you can't get plug-ins, the true power of Quicksilver.
Ecco2: The new Spotlight is great, but it still doesn't do even half the things that Quicksilver is capable of. - alexknowshtml, on 10/28/2007, -0/+4quicksilver works just fine.
the first app i found that popped was PandoraJam, which is really pretty saddening. - Disodium, on 10/28/2007, -0/+4PthHelmet dosent work
- meatmcguffin, on 10/28/2007, -0/+3Same with Mail and Safari :/
I've heard input managers are possible in Leopard, any Diggers know how to use them? - MonkeyFarts, on 10/28/2007, -1/+4Unless the new Spotlight allows for universal triggers for things like iTunes control (including ratings), as well as any other shortcut I want, like launching the current page in Camino, or launching an app, popping up a box to type in a search query for Google/Yahoo/Google Maps/Wikipedia, launching a web page like Gmail in https://, etc., I highly doubt the new Spotlight will replace QS for me.
- northernmunky, on 10/28/2007, -0/+3Quicksilver working fine here...
- ThankTheCheese, on 10/28/2007, -0/+2I posted this above, but though I would chip in here too -- I was worried about QS too, but I have QS with clipboard, shelf and abracadabra modules installed and all is fine
- MonkeyFarts, on 10/27/2007, -0/+2There are two options in the works:
PigSuit, which is to allow input mangers throughout all of Leopard: http://millenomi.altervista.org/PlugSuit/
PimpKit, which is to allow input managers for Safari only: http://www.cocoamug.com/pimpkit/index.html
They also go about slightly different ways of allowing input managers, but ultimately their goal is the same. Give them a try and let us know how they work! - ThankTheCheese, on 10/28/2007, -0/+1I was worried about that too, but I have QS with clipboard, shelf and abracadabra modules installed and all is fine.
- ajb2015, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1todo tracker widget is all ***** up
- econoar, on 10/28/2007, -1/+2I really wish I could get Growl working for the new iChat
- windohs, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Get an intel mac optimized 2.0.8 firefox from beatnickbad if you want. Camino is much faster though but not as handy. fasterfox extension helps too
- MonkeyFarts, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Try the beta, which is supposed to work with Safari 3.0.x:

If it doesn't still doesn't work in Leopard, try it in conjunction with PimpKit or PigSuit, which allow input managers to do their thing in Leopard. - 42PhoeniX, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1That's totally inaccurate. Disk Warrior does not allow you to use it in Leopard. MacFixIt is utterly wrong:
- thehurricaneuk, on 10/28/2007, -1/+2EyeTV no longer works with the apple remote, had to switch back to using the old one that came with the tuner. bit annoying, but I can live with it. (Although spotted a huge bug with one channel - bbc one during the football results, show that middlesbrough lost 4-1 today!!! cant be right surely :P ) Other than that, ive had no problems.
Football manager 2008 also works better with leopard. Seems a lot smoother and it no longer hangs. Im running a new imac 20" 2.4 core 2 duo 1gb ram. - Ecco2, on 10/28/2007, -5/+6Give the new SpotLight a shot... I bet you won't even bother downloading QuickSilver :-)
- blackjack75, on 10/28/2007, -0/+1As much as I love theoretically all of QuickSilver's advanced features I have to say the uses I couldn't go without are:
- INSTANT (really instant) application launching: the new spotlight does it. The first result is always the app and I can just hit enter
- Instantly opening the text file I use as todo list (yes, it's old school). Somehow, with the same accound (kept it when installing) sportlight now finds this file instantly too if I type the name.
Also in Spotlight preferences, disable all you don't want (eg. e-mail, ical ). It can only help with the speed. - fugazied, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1If it wasn't for web developer bar and a few other extensions I am sure a lot of mac based web designers would have jumped ship to opera/safari a long time ago. FIX firefox please mozilla!
- ramsinks.com, on 10/28/2007, -0/+1SpamSeive - no worky
New OnyX - worky. - seans9, on 10/28/2007, -1/+2I have no idea why people are having issues with Quicksilver. I am having none. It works just as it did before.
- ThankTheCheese, on 10/28/2007, -0/+1I was expecting a far more comprehensive list.
- blackjack75, on 10/28/2007, -0/+1I use Safari for browsing all the time now and really it feels good and fast. I only launch Firefox when I need to do web developement (FireBug obviously).
- cmer, on 10/28/2007, -1/+2Firefox is pretty flacky for me on Leopard (yes, worse than with Tiger ;-) )
- notorious., on 10/28/2007, -0/+1After the installer launches, when you click "Continue" it immediately says "PithHelment cannot be installed on this computer. This version of PithHelment is incompatible with your version of Safari." Your only option is to close the installer.
Anyway around this? - zeppo, on 10/28/2007, -1/+1anything that uses "inputmanager" will not work with Leopard.
- imikedaman, on 10/28/2007, -1/+1Wait... if we need a list of programs that are Leopard-ready, why is everyone saying Leopard has excellent backwards compatibility? They even dropped Classic support!

DiskWarrior 4.0 will successfully rebuild a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed or a disk that has been attached to a computer running Leopard.
However, some operating system functionality has changed within Leopard itself. As such, there are some compatibility issues when running an installed copy of DiskWarrior 4.0 while started up from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Alsoft currently recommends that you do not run DiskWarrior 4.0 while the computer is started from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Instead, to run DiskWarrior, you should start up the computer from either:
1) A DiskWarrior 4.0 CD.
2) Any disk that starts up in 10.4.x and then run DiskWarrior 4.0.
An updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing owners of DiskWarrior 4.0. - 12chan, on 10/27/2007, -2/+0Rawr
- ChromaVita, on 10/28/2007, -5/+2Adium X, Transmission, Quicksilver, and Alarm Clock Pro all run on Leopard. Although it was the first time I've ever used Alarm Clock Pro,(I used Awaken before) and it didn't go off for me this morning, causing me to miss that Oct 27. protest today. It could have been human error, but I'd try it out a couple times before using it for anything too important.
- doitintheroad, on 10/28/2007, -9/+4No Quicksilver = No Leopard for me...
