appleinsider.com — A list of bugs accompanying the latest pre-release build of Apple Inc.'s Leopard operating system appears to have swelled somewhat since the Cupertino-based company last seeded the software to developers in early March. Of those issues, the most critical appear to affect the system's installation process, Apple's QuickTime digital media software...

wait, I thought that OSX was the only operating system in the world that had NO issues or bugs, and 'just worked"? I guess Steve will eat crow when the iphone tanks and Leapord will be pushed to 2008

Perhaps I'm just being dense, but isn't the 'stupid gear button' just another way to access the context menu?"And what do you want to bet that the treeview still doesn't create subdirectories in the right place?Select the folder you want, switch to pane view or single view, and then switch back after creating the subfolder. Or you could just select the folder you want to be the parent before creating the folder."But you shouldn't HAVE to switch folder view just to create a damn folder. Your second sentence is incorrect, selecting a folder first *doesn't* create a subfolder, it creates a folder at the same level as the folder you selected.

bratan: OSX Tiger 10.4.9 'just works'. OSX Leopard 10.5 - a substantial revision of OSX - is still in development and won't be released until October 2007. That is why, as yet, it doesn't quite work properly. Remember this article relates to a pre-release build for developers; it is not a retail version. Developers are clever people who help Apple release software that 'just works'. If you need anymore details, ring me in June on my iPhone.

October release??????? Not a frackin chance from what I see, maybe October 2008 is more reasonable.

The current dev builds of MacOS X 10.5 are by far the worse dev uilds, for the longest stretch of time of any I recall back to 10.0.10.0 was dog slow, but functional.The 10.5 builds are pretty bad, and have been since WWDC last year. When I say bad, I mean:"With previous dev builds of the former OS releases, a dev could at least run them as a day-to-day OS (tho not advised) and still get things done."With 10.5, I have found this to be pretty impossible, and suspect it will continue to be the case until June; the current stuff is more like...a frankenmix.Methinks the June releases will e when folks can "hunker down" on 10.5 and really get to work, should they choose to do so.
