Mac OS X 10.5.2 Finally Arrives!
I've been waiting for this for a while now, and I have to say that I'm really pleased so far with the update. I got the huge 10.5.2 update and then the Leopard Video update, and then the iLife update. Busy updating day.
Some things I"ve noticed already:
- Terminal.app - opening multiple windows at start-up now doesn't leave some of them hanging. Nice.
- TimeMachine - the little menu icon is nice - not earth-shaking, but nice.
I haven't had a lot of time to play with things, but when I do, if I see more things worth writing about, I'll jot them down. For now, it's nice to look at the release notes and see all the work they put into it.
UPDATE: new hidden preferences feature was reported here that keeps Spaces in 10.5.2 from moving to the Space with the application on it when switching to that app. This is something that I didn't like about Spaces originally. I'd want to open a new editor window and when I clicked on the icon on the Dock, I'd automatically go to the Space where that application was already open. Now I don't have to have that happen. I click on the app and I stay on the Space I'm on. Excellent.
To set this up, simply go to the Terminal.app and say:
defaults write com.apple.Dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO killall Dock
and it's ready to go. To reverse it, make the NO a YES.
