Updates for Jaguar Compatibility

Rob McKeever writes "I have just posted WirelessDriver 1.0.0b5.1 to both my iDisk (robm) and to the usual spot on SourceForge.net. This build has been compiled specifically for Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) and will not work on earlier versions of Mac OS X. There will be a separate version coming shortly to fill this void. The installer will fail the first time you try to do this; please try to run the installer at least once more before asking for assistance." Wonderful! The panic-on-reinsertion bug appears to be fixed too, making it much more useful, as I only need to use the PC Card when the internal card is out of range. Also, SharePoints, for making arbitrary folders available via file sharing, was updated for 10.2 compatability. LiteSwitch X still isn't updated, but note that hot keys other than cmd-tab still work with the older version.

Bugs?

Anyone else noticed a few bugs in Jaguar, notably it not coming out of sleep reliably, Finder not arranging icons properly and Finder copying folders instead of moving them?

Other updates that make me happy

Application Switcher Menu [sourceforge.net] has been updated, and while the installer warns that it is not supported, it works. I as an old school OS 9 guy, I love ASM, it makes the OS X UI work so much better. ASM's 'Classic Window Mode' that brings all windows associated with an app to the front when you click on one kicks butt. is another app I use all the time that has been updated for Jag.

Re:What about being able to burn CD's??

Thanks to Apple, they want you to "switch" but don't want to make it possible for you to "switch back" by preventing OSX from burning cd's from the finder that can be read on PC's. In 10.1 you could make ISO9660 disks, now in 10.2 all you can make are HFS disks.

1. Wrong. Mac OS X burns hybrid CDs that can be read under either Mac OS or Windows. I have verified this personally. I even did a quick check just this minute to make sure that nothing changed behind my back. It works perfectly.

2. Roxio Toast is an excellent tool for burning discs of all sorts. It'll burn a plain-Jane ISO 9660 disc if you want, and it's absurdly easy to use. It can be yours for the low, low price of $89.95. So quitcher bitchin.
