AI berichtet vom 10.4 Pre-Release: "Burnable Folders provides users with an easy way to store files that need to be burnt to optical media on a regular basis, offering Mac users an effortless backup option built directly into the Mac OS Finder.[…] Another feature discovered in recent builds of Tiger is Finder "Smart Folders." Although this feature was present in previous builds, sources claim that it has gained flexibility and integration with Spotlight."
Weiter geht es mit der 10.4 Berichterstattung bei AppleInsider: "In the most recent builds of the forthcoming OS, Apple has revised its Navigation Services (open and save dialog boxes) to seamlessly incorporate the search technology. In addition to a build-in Spotlight search field, the dialogs sport a Spotlight location bar to further refine searches, effectively reducing the time and patience required to locate files in the file system." Außerdem sollen Screenshots im PNG Format gespeichert werden und Safari PDF Dateien ohne Hilfe darstellen können.
Update: Weiteres zu den aktuellen 10.4 Builds (manches neu, manches nicht so neu) in drei Artikeln bei macosxrumors.com: eins, zwei und drei.
