Some changes for 10.4

Well, Panther's been upon us for a good two months, so why not start suggesting what we'd like to see in the next version of OS X? You can never start too soon, right?

Some of you may recall the thread I started earlier this year, called Some changes for 10.3. It's interesting to look through it again and see how many of those Apple has implemented... like just from my original list, they put in about 7, in part or in whole, not to mention suggestions from the rest of the thread.

I'm too tired/sick/lazy to list stuff right now, but you can be sure I'll start putting stuff out later.

Maybe not exactly a feature request for 10.4 as such, but in iTunes, either in the version shipping with 10.4, or sooner, a field in Get Info for lyrics, and a database (such as LyricTracker) that will download lyrics as we rip the cd?

What about the option to automatically download the cover-art for a cd? MusicMatch does this, it can't be that hard. I can't even find a script to do it any more (and the last app i tried to use, put the art on the wrong tracks so i ended up removing them all)

Safari: Human actions should take precedence over browser processes. When I click the close box on a tab (or a window, even), it should close right then and there, not load most of the page before closing.

Also, in every aspect of the OS that a user needs to right-click or ctrl-click in order to access the pop up menu, we should get the option of hold-click for couple seconds for that... like in Mozilla (or IE if my mind serves me correctly)... Lets drop that useless right click once and for all

Octane, the difference between this thread and that thread is that yours asks what will be in 10.4 (or what we think at least), while this thread asks what we'd like to see in 10.4.

How about just about everything on my original list that wasn't put in?
