Jaguar 10.2 Build 6C48 Seed Info

[dricci]

Think Secret has posted information about the latest seed of Jaguar, 6C48.

According to sources, the new build has a slightly new setup for "Show Info" in the Finder. In the current release of OS X, 10.1.4, Show Info brings up a dynamic inspector that changes depending on which file is selected. In the developer preview of Jaguar, the (vastly expanded) Show Info command worked similar to that in OS 9, with the capability to have multiple Get Info windows open at once. Build 6C48 provides the best of both worlds: Command-I brings up a static info window, while Command-Option-I opens a dynamic info palette. In addition, there are several bug fixes to Show Item Info, with new information on a variety of document types.

As for File Sharing, the new build expands Jaguar's SMB compatibility, with support for both SMB browsing from the "Connect To" control, along with SMB file sharing via the new Sharing panel in the System Preferences.

SMB sharing? Awesome! As for the Show Info windows, hmmm. Interesting. I guess from the context menu, it will be the static window, and Option clicking will be the dynamic?

Isn't that to do with Samba? If so then I won't have to install it!! Great

Samba is a free open source release of SMB. OS X already includes SMB for mounting, but not sharing.

Build 6C35 does this as well. Command-I brings up a static infor window, while command-p opens a dynamic info palette.

Holy Sweetness!

SMB file sharing was one of my biggest desires for Jag-wire. This is great news.

HUH??

When I use Connect to Server, nothing shows up in the window. I have a peesee in my network with a share enabled and it doesn't show up in this build. Now I know it's a beta and all but I don't see what they see...

Beta's do not always have all planned functions enabled.
