Mac OS X Leopard & SketchUp!
-
Dylan was right! I got the delivery on Tuesday evening and have now loaded Leopard.
I'm now exploring all the new features and particularly like Time Machine.The new Dock is also well thought out and a
great time saver. I'm having difficulty with
a couple of pre-installed applications. Afloat, a program that I was using quite a lot is not running the way it used to but I'll keeping playing with it, hopefully it will work out.I haven't noticed any problems with SketchUp as
yet so all would appear to be well enough, fingers cross.Just hear that Apple have sold over 2,000,000 copies of Leopard in the first two days!!! Now let me see, where is that calculator? Ah yes, $258,000,000 .... I imagine Apple shareholders will be happy

Ah, Barry, surely I'm not reading all the way this topic every time (Mike is in here anyway if you guys are planning to do some naughty things) so I was just glad to see this link and paste it in here...
Sigh... I was too late, man...

mike,
regarding new releases of Mac OS i prefer to act like i do with recently opened restaurants: let them setlle down and iron out all the wrinkles. after all the app companies have upgraded their apps to the new system then i jump in. i have no beta tester adventurousness in this regard.
i have had enough with little conflicts and incompatibilities during my time: my entry in the mac world was under system 7!

Also had long periods of beachball after rotating a fairly simple component (a cupboard door) - not a problem in the actual rotation which was perfectly smooth, but after finishing the operation.
I'm using a new MacBook, and as Tim said, everything seems to work except for the beachballing after selection/rotation. I tried turning off hardware acceleration, and from what I can tell that helped - selection and rotation works without beachballing, and everything else runs as smooth as one could expect without hardware acceleration.

Hmm, yes, turning off hardware acceleration certainly avoids the massive delay when drag-selecting but it noticeably slows down almost everything else for me!
But it certainly provides some useful forensic info to help the guys find out where the real problem lies.

Well so far so good. Overall I think its an improvement.
The new Dock features are proving a great time saver.However I could not get Afloat to work. I contacted the
author and he tell me that a Leopard version should be
available in January. If anyone knows of a similar Mac
program I would appreciate advise.Mike

Guys I have split the selection bug off this thread and moved to the Bug Reports subfolder for better attention by the Google Team (and as was requested by Barry or Brad somewhere above). Here is the link to the new thread.
I hope you don't mind...
