Mac OS X 10.3.2 build 7D15

Will it simplify the Network Browser so that shares you "Connect" to appear as disks on the Desktop and Sidebar?

I find that the present implementation lacks consistency compared to the "Go ... Connect to Server" method.

10.3.2 seems to be a pretty major point release as Apple has gone from 7D10 to 7D15 with it so far.

hrmmm... I hope that 'filesharing' means we finally have support for sftp

Panthers implementation of Network Browsing kind of sucks. It looks nicer and seems more full featured than Jaguars, but it just doesn't work like jaguars did.

What kind of support are you looking for? If I'm not mistaken there is support for sftp in Panther.
Of course the Finder does not support it, but who cares, the command line rules, right ;)

I like the Network Browser in the Finder... except for the fact that it only shows my other machine's boot volume, and not its SCSI drive! Hmmm....

keep them builds comin !

Hmm, PostScript printing improvements.

I noticed yesterday that 12-point Times printed from TextEdit on a Personal Laserwriter 320 (which is a Level 2 PostScript printer) really looked like ass. Looking back through other recent printouts on the 320 reveals this: Printing from ClarisWorks 4.0 under 9.1 looks the way I'm used to. TextEdit under 10.2.6 (on a different computer) looks a little bit different--letter spacing is maybe a little tighter in some places--but it's still basically acceptable. But TextEdit under 10.3.1 is totally different, with different character shapes! Zeros are quite a bit wider but their strokes (?) are thinner, and the baseline looks very uneven somehow.

Remember that this is all on the same printer, using the same font, and the default kerning etc. in every case. It's understandable that TextEdit under OS X looks different than ClarisWorks under OS 9, but not that Panther TextEdit is so much different than Jaguar TextEdit!!

So hopefully this is what will be fixed in 10.3.2. And hopefully there will be a new Apple word processor and/or successor to AppleWorks that will be able to print more consistently (as well as having more features than the built-in Cocoa text handling that TextEdit uses).

FWIW

Ditto...who's big idea was this crappy interface for browsing servers?

COMMAND LINE RULES???? WHAT IS THIS - AN ***ing DOS CONVENTION.

I use a mac in preference to a PC or a bare bones unix workstation precisely because there is a decent GUI. If I wanted to manually type every command I wouldn't have bought a mac. I want easy GUI access to all connected networks/servers - whatever - without any thought, just like I want to switch on a light without building the bulb first. I thought that was the whole design philosophy of the mac, "IT JUST WORKS" - REMEMBER?
