I love this stuff. Dan Cederholm, of SimpleBits, appreciates a new feature in Mac OSX 10.3:
When saving a file, if you'd like to replace an existing file using the same filename, just click the file you'd like to replace from the dialog's column view. Dan Cederholm
A small timesaver, but cool nonetheless. And yet another example of the subtle features that Apple builds into the OS. Dan Cederholm
Isn't that just fabulous, the amazing level of sophistication of Apple designers is mind-boggling. This is exactly what makes the Mac such a lovely user experience, reminiscent of poetry rather than work, while using Windows is like having bricks thrown at you while you're trying to get something done.
Yes I had been waiting for that feature as many years ago when I used Windoze it was always a great feature and it annoyed me that OSX didn't have the same functionality. Jason
I use Windows at work and Panther at home. Windows save boxes are far superior -- for one, you can rename files other than the one you're working with. I do that all the time. There are a lot of little things like this missing from Panther, for seemingly no other reason than Apple's desire to be different. dayvin
Mac users seem to relish "subtle" little features like these, and praise Apple for them, far more so than Windows users do. Is it just me, or are they easily impressed?
Update: Just for the sake of clarity; I'm not religious about neither Windows, Mac or any other operating system. I use a PC presently, because, quite frankly, they're cheaper, give more bang for your buck, and are vastly more configurable. I'm planning on getting an iBook too, though.
