iLife Apps Available for Download 61
gsfprez writes "iMovie 3.0.1 and iPhoto 2.0 are available for download. iTunes 3 has been out for a while, and iDVD 3 is only available from your friendly neighborhood Apple Store or the virtual one." They are also available via Software Update, and Air Mapster writes "Those of us who ssh in from work/elsewhere can do 'sudo softwareupdate iMovie-3.0.1' and 'sudo softwareupdate iPhoto-2.0' to have them ready when we get home."

This will start the process, and all you have to do is wait to see if you are prompted to restart. Given the size of these two, it will naturally take some time depending on your setup, etc. I use this method from the office, as a routine, so that everything is ready when I get home. Nice to see it mentioned along with the update notice. Now to get Apple to announce the item names on their support pages...

Clean our all your folders... or just run it on the iPhoto app and reduce its size by a whopping 80%! Even leaving english, spanish and norwegian on my laptop and removing the rest saves hundreds of megs. I hope that helps ya'.

With fink I can keep my unix apps up to date, and not worry about a bunch of cruft filling up my /usr/bin and /lib (one reason I hate gnu-darwin). And software update keeps my apples apps up to date.
but what I really wish I had was something to keep my MS apps up todate. after all 99.9% of all the security holes are in those. That's one reason I adopt apple apps every time they emit a new one (safari means I can get rid of IE, keynote means I can get rid of powerpoint). (I wonder if keynote will use software update?)
But the thing I worry about is that software update (and fink update) are barn door sized security holes. I trust apple not to screw up. And I weakly trust fink project. But if third party apps were allowed to use software update I'd be a little bit worried about getting trojaned.
I think maybe they need to have some sort of MD5 registry hosted by apple if they want to let third parties use this mechanism.

They already do this, software update has some kind of checksum. Also, you can DL the file off Apple.com and checksum it yourself to make sure.

Updating for iPhoto Library Manager users (Score:2, Informative)
iPhoto 2 uses a different storage format than iPhoto 1.x used.
As of 1/31/03 Brian is testing iPhoto Library Manager for compatibility with iPhoto 2. He recommends LM users delay installing iPhoto 2 until he reports on his test results in a "few days".
I am sure we will soon hear if iPhoto 2 has cured iPhoto 1.x's performance and scaling problems. Since iPhoto 2 does allow mini-album exports, better performance would remove the need for iPhoto Library Manager. Consolidating those disparate libraries may be interesting, however.
(I'd love to hear why iPhoto 1.x scales so very poorly. I do know that a bug that causes iPhoto to "forget" to use the more efficient library outline/roll view doesn't help.)

iMovie annoyance (Score:3, Informative)
I was initially excited to hear about the resizeable window, because the previous (full screen) iMovie just looked stupid at resolutions above 1024 x 768. Big voids of space between the three main elements (the timeline, the bin, the viewer) just made using higher screen resolutions a pain, so I would always scale down my screen just to run iMovie.
I figured the resizeable window would be great, but when I make it fill my screen, the viewer gets bigger while the clip bin and the timeline don't expand at all. I would really like to see it expand so that you could see more thumbnails without having to scroll, but instead you just get a GIANT preview screen.
I find the single-window nature of iMovie to be very limiting. I know, I know, it's a consumer app, it's supposed to be very simple for very simple people, but I was always under the impression power is supposed to lurk behind the simplicity for those who need it.
If Apple is going to keep iMovie all in one window, they should make the panes between the screen elements moveable as well, so that I can have a bigger bin when I need it, and then make it small at my whim so I can watch a bigger preview.
