I've been running Tiger for some time on my PowerBook 17" and have a few questions for people that are also running it.
First, I have the iChat menu extra. Under Panther, when I would be available, the menu extra would display my available buddies, would play sounds when someone would become available or unavailable. Now, under Tiger, I need to keep iChat (the application) running if I want to get the same feedback. Checking in Activity Monitor shows me that a process called "iChatAgent" is not responding. Has anybody else noticed this? Another annoying thing I did notice is when I have a Stuffit archive with the '.sit' extension. I have Stuffit Deluxe installed with the Stuffit "Archive Via Rename" running. Under Panther, if I would delete the extension, Stuffit would expand the archive. Now, under Tiger, when I delete the extension, nothing happens. If I do an info on the archive file, I see that the extension is hidden in the name section of the info window. If I uncheck the "Hide extension" checkbox in the info window, the extension comes back in the Finder. Keeping the Info window for that file opened, if I then proceed again to delete the extension, nothing happens but the "Hide extension" checkbox turns itself on automatically! The only way I can really remove it is by deleting the extension in the info window. Did anybody notice some similar behavior with extensions in Tiger? I don't think that the Stuffit AVR is involve because when I delete the extension in the info window, it just promptly proceeds to uncompress the archive. -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
