i really would like to be able to have a choice between closing the app by hitting the button on the window, or having to go to the apple menu and actually quitting the app. would be nice  ;)

it is nice to be able to close all the windows and still have the program running, but i tire of hitting command q or moving my mouse all the way to the top of the screen to quit the app. oh well, im sure there is a hack for it somewhere.

it is a godsend to be able to leave apps open.  I wish I could do it on Windows, but they take too much screenspace.  Also, you don't have to go to the top of the window or use cmd q to quit.  You can control/right click on the icon in the dock to quit.. or my fav, which works in Jag and works better in Panther.  hold cmd then push tab until you get the to the program u want to quit, then push the q key.  I do that all the time.  Clearing out open apps just cmd tab q tab q tab q tab q.  Also if you push h it will hide the app.

Update
I really don't like how files look when they are selected now.  It looks a lot like Windows XP (even though XP doesn't do this, if it did, it would look just like this).. screenshot
I don't mind the semitransparent square around the icon, but the bubble around the name is what bothers me.

More bad news.  Camino and Firebird don't work.  Camino opens and you can type in any url and it instantly says it is finished loading but nothing loads.  Firebird just quits.  Mozilla.org might have a bitch of a problem with Panther, since it doesn't seem to be how they are coded, but the Mozilla engine itself.  Since Camino is cocoa I can assume that it would work until it needed the Gecko engine, since Firebird isn't cocoa (I think) it just sort of quits.

Preview is much faster at reading PDF's.  I'd say at least twice as fast as Jag's preview.

The Finder has a lot of problems unmounting discs and network drives and stuff, sometimes it just doesn't do it and the only way I have found to unmount them is to restart.

A lot of buttons, especially in Photoshop get cut off half way.


Just remember this is BETA software, I'm sure all of these bugs will get fixed and I'm sure Mozilla will be either fixed by Apple or by the Mozilla people.

I'm heading off to Germany

no new stuff on Panther from me for 2 weeks.
I'm sure ThinkSecret will have much better coverage of Panther than i do.
