I hope it comes soon then maybe they will start shipping the new Final Cut Suite. That is what I'm waiting for.
Got a tip for us?

It will be very nice to get this update installed. As of now, its looking like a pretty comprehensive patch job. A few days ago, the build was at a bit over three dozen fixes. Today's ThinkSecret article is saying the newest build adds about a dozen...
4 dozen patches is fine in my (power)book.

No, QT files that I captured in FCP and h.264 files exported from Motion, it seems that these are the 2 types of files that are affected. Here's a quick test, switch finder to column view and hight a QT video and it the preview show up. Now open the movie and compare it to the preview. All my movies are this way, maybe it's just my machine, or select ones, who knows, I know I saw another thread on this though.

Yup. I have that Dock thing too. Have you tried trashing the dock preferences? I think I'm going to give that a try and see how it goes. I guess one immediate way to fix it is to shut off magnification.
The one thing I had happen with the Quicktime Player as when I went to get the movie properties to make some adjustments to the volume, QT player crashes every time.
I hope this gets released soon and that they fix my issues with Spotlight. I can't change resolution or my brightness until they fix it in an update, either. Hopefully these things will be addressed in the next update!

The magnification bug affects everyone. I have the bug too. Trashing the prefs won't fix it.
strange keychain
I dont know if any of you other have had this problem or whether this is due to my very own program distortion field.
Whenever I try to access the university emailserver, Safari keeps asking me for username and password regradless of how many times I try to add both of them to my keychain.
Any comments?

Happens to me in Safari with my work email (Microsoft OWA). This isn't new with Tiger, though, it's been happening for years.
It has worked like a charm for me before in Panther. Never had any problems. I could connect through VPN, but since people at my university are unadulterated spammers I dont want all of that in my private inbox.zwida said:
I find it is extremely annoying to be forced to retype username and password for each and every email I want to read. The same applies when I want to delete an email.
one problem i've had si that mail won't quit. when i go cmdQ it just won't quit, and it will freeze up and then i have to force quit and log out. and gmail will no longer work with it, i cna't recieve my messages. but i think i can send. hope this gets fixed
It always cracks me up how people say they have no problem with Tiger at all, "except..."
Look, I love Tiger. But it is buggy as hell. Unbelievably buggy.
Tiger needed another 2 months of development and bug fixing.
I am concerned the .1 patch is too small. Tiger is riddled with bugs. And if you can't see that, honestly you're not looking too hard.

I'd like to see you say that with a straight face to my poor little G4 Power Mac.
I've had 4 kernel panics in 10 days of using Tiger. This is after doing a clean install, so no potential upgrade weirdness here. I've dutifully sent in a report each time (very nice that a dialog pops up to do this next time you login after any crash) so I'm hoping they were useful. If this continues much longer, I may consider going back to Panther for the time being. Hopefully 10.4.1 comes soon and fixes my issues.
In my experience clean upgrades are more trouble than they're worth. Next time it happens, though, post the log hereone of us might be able to give you more information.

You know, I'm still wondering about this.
I tried following the link in that article (in Safari 2.0). I automatically got a file called "zaptastic.wdgt.zip" downloaded to my desktop.
I double-clicked the zip, and now have something called "zaptastic.wdgt" on my desktop. I've double-checked and it's not running on my dashboard, and it's not in my widgets directory.
I gather this is only a problem if you have the known-insecure option "automatically open known filetypes" turned on? And if so, what's new about this vulnerability? Isn't this just a new vector for an old vulnerability?
I really can't understand why, if you have your web browser automatically running unknown content, people don't expect problems?

I too get kernel panics - at least once a day. I also did a totally clean format/install. It's not any trouble for me to do that because I'm a developer and am accustomed to keeping multiple system installs available for compatibility testing etc. The kernel log seems to imply something went wrong with the USB. I only have my Logitech keyboard and a Wacom tablet/mouse on the USB which I can't do without. This machine is a DP500 with the SCSI card, which is probably not that common anymore. I've had troubles that nobody else had with early releases before. I'm trying to hold out for the elusive DP3G machines.
Also I can't get SMB or NFS mounts to my Linux box to work at all. Plus I can't get the machine to respond to any Remote Apple Events, which I use a lot from my laptop to my desktop machine.
So I'm pretty much stuck in my Panther partition as my main working setup and the Tiger one is just for working on some development futures at this point. I'm keeping my laptop on Panther until things stabilize a bit because crashing during a client demo would not be a good thing.

You got it. And well I don't know the answer to your last question either.
But that also leads to another problem: how does the average user know where the Widgets folder is?

Now, that's a good idea (and works)! But leads to another UI annoyance I just discovered today...
If you command space, get the spotlight drop-down and search, you get what looks like an object, but you can't do anything with it except open it! I was trying to use it to find a movie, then drag and drop into iTunes, but you can't. Open it or nothing. This feels, to me, like a violation of the OSX UI pattern.
You can still get the object with the option-command-space, but if the (top-right) spotlight list is going to make the object look like a real object, it should act like a real object.
Chalk another one up to my list of hoped for fixes
[Edit]
And yet another spotlight annoyance! (How can you tell I've just started some serious use of my system). If you search for something where there are multiple copies, like "Library", you get no context. The only way to find which is the one you want is to go to the spotlight window, and then reveal in finder. Ugh.
So, my hopes for Tiger.1 are:
1) Fix dashboard so you can remove widgets! (come on, how obvious is that one)
2) Fix the spotlight list so it acts like all other file listings, and at least allows me to drag and drop!
3) Fix spotlight so I can get context on items with common names

Same here - all four of my crashes happened in com.apple.driver.AppleUSBOHCI. And there's not much on my USB for the most part - just Apple keyboard and Logitech mouse. The mouse has been acting up lately, occasionally sending the pointer to the edge of the screen as if it had been moved quickly. Never was a problem in Panther (other than annoyance) but I wonder if it's causing difficulties for Tiger.
That's strange, though - I'm having no problems with either, mounting from my FreeBSD box. I just wish Spotlight would index them (I've tried everything I can think of with the new md* utilities), but that's another topic.

Haha! I hit this annoyance just today too! I found the file, tried to drag it or copy it or anything, but nope I can only open it. In annoyance, I opened Finder, then searched again. Yep here the file is, all manipulatible. And then comes another strange GUI inconsistence:
When I hit the contextual menu to try to copy the file, Copy is grayed out. Yet, when I go to the Edit menu, Copy is allowed. I went and copied the file and did what I wanted to do. What the hell was that about?
I swear Tiger is more Windows than OS X sometimes...
