moan 2007

15th of Feb, 2007ce* in: ideas

For all the benefits my Mac has brought me, there are still some improvements to be made. Here’s a list of features I have sent to Apple and other companies (Adobe) this year, in some kind of vain and possibly pointless hope that they may fix for the insane month of March. Where 2007 becomes “year of the Mac”:

“add image to iPhoto library”

Not sure how many times I’ve clicked on this by accident. It’s a right click menu option in Safari, right under Save image. Who needs this? Who uses it? iPhoto is absolutely archaic in it’s start up procedure, sucking resources from the machine, slowing everything down to a grinding halt for a few minutes. If you force quit the opening process, it crashes Safari.
Sent mail

When checking my sent mail folder in Mail, it shows my photo instead of the recipients photo. What use is this exactly? Surely it would make more logic to show the photo of the person I am sending it to!
Junk mail

In Mail, I am shown how many junk mails I have with a nice big bold number. I believe there should be an option to turn this off, because personally, I don’t care how many junk mails I have, so long as they are not in my inbox. I check my Junk folder from time to time, that’s enough to catch the strays.
Flash Library

Interesting one this, not exactly a bug, although Flash users will know how buggy the software has been over time. The library could really do with some “power” tools. Like search and replace, multiple rename. Also the import conflict dialogue could do with telling you what is actually conflicting with a re-name option, multiple re-name option. I’m still holding out for 3D features, seeing how Director has dropped the ball (3D in director currently unsupported on Intel macs)

Enough moaning for now! Hurry up with my Leopard osx 10.5 and Adobe universal apps! Rosetta runs like molasses!
