Snow Leopard Video Tour Series
Submitted by Chris on June 22, 2009 - 4:41am
At WWDC '09, Apple released a near-complete version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (Build 10A380) to developers. While not feature complete, the new build has most of the important changes that you will see when Snow Leopard ships this fall. Apple has already detailed many of the refinements coming to Snow Leopard on its website, but we know a lot of you also wanted to see them in action. So for your viewing pleasure, we've put together a video tour series of the next big cat coming out of Cupertino.
We now have a forum dedicated to Snow Leopard, so if you have features you would like us to cover or questions you'd like to ask, hop over to this thread. Of course, all the screencasts were made and edited using the built in screen recording feature in the new QuickTime X player :)
NB. The videos are all grouped in a playlist that will continue to be updated as more content becomes available.
[Update] Sorry guys, had to pull the videos :(

You will still need to install additional codecs to play mkv, ogm, avi, flv etc.

What is the PDF version in Preview 5.0, Preview 4.2 uses version 1.3, the current approved ISO spec is 1.7, some PDF's will not open with 1.3.

You say that some folder stacks display as folder icons rather than stack icons. In Leopard, this can be done using the contextual menu. In Snow Leopard, can you not reverse this, or is it only the default?

I'm running the same build and yes, you can change it also it Snow Leopard via the contextual menu. It seems that certain folders use the folder icon while others display the stack by default however.

Thanks for the videos. They were clear and concise. It felt like a smart, organized friend (with a trace of Indian/Irish!? accent) was answering my constant question: what's coming next in interface? I bookmarked your site, and look forward to future MAG videos. Thanks again.

finder "changes" seem pretty weak. we can already preview movies in several different ways, including hitting the space bar to preview which is probably faster than having to zoom in.
undo trash takes longer than command - Z which has worked for a while.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for these nice videos.
You talk about the "Put Back" feature in the recycle bin but only regarding files. Is it possible to "put back" folders as well?
Thanks :-)

I was hoping apple would include support for new file types in Quicktime X. Perian does a good job but is not perfect, it jumbles up some subs and in some cases completely omits them. I picked up on this when i used VLC to compare. The thing is I love quicktime too much.

To the author of this post and of the videos:
If you send me an email, I can give you ftp access to my site, so you can upload them there, and I'll set up a webpage with the videos on them, and you may link to the files them self, so you can use your own embedding thing of your choice. I'll also consider offering them for direct download of interested.
Many kind regards, Dave, Netherlands, Independent Apple Fanboy and Flash Platform guru
In regards to QuicktIme X, are files like mkv and ogm and others now supported?
