i still, to this day, hate so much stuff about mac that is just so much more complicated than it has to be, and there are so many little tedious bugs that i do not understand why they weren't fixed.
i'm on tiger btw.
Wanna elaborate? my only complain is that their shortcut stadards get in the way of my productivity. For example i'd like to be able to set up single keyboard shortcuts in certain apps - ie Mail.app should mark message as read with just 'r'
here are 2 that i run into CONSTANTLY because when I download folders off the server here at work, they are all read only.
1. Download the folder and right click -> get info. I then click on the little triangle next to "Details" at the bottom, to get into the access area, and it expands off the screen, w/out any scroll bars at all. so i now cannot get down to the bottom of the window to change the access rights.
instead, you have to resize the window, THEN click the little triangle to expand, and THEN now it has scroll wheels.
2. (this is more of a design flaw that is tedious and annoying)
Now do what I just said, change the options to read/wright and click on "Apply to enclosed items". EVERY SINGLE TIME it comes up a dialog saying, "this is not undoable, continue?" and EVERY SINGLE TIME i click yes. and then on top of that, EVERY SINGLE TIME it asks me for the admin login/pw just to change this ... EVERY TIME.
and as I said, I do this often. it gets annoying.
not to mention, half of the time, it doesnt give me r/w access to all the enclosed items, as i so greatly pressed the button to do so.
there are many MANY more, but i dont wanna write an essay lol.
