Post-Tiger Wishlist
¶ by Rob Friesel
As an RSVP to Engadget’s article…
- Non-server versions should ship w/ Tomcat pre-installed and pre-hooked in to Apache. Instant WebDAV for local iCal hosting/sharing.
- WebDAV client integrated into Finder.
- Subversion client integrated into Finder.
- Fix those FileVault bugs once and for all. (Really. Seriously. Not a feature.)
- iCal needs to export to Excel. Or if not Excel, a CSV of some predictable layout. I know it sounds crazy, but this scheduling-folks-without-iCal thing is getting ridiculous. (Or maybe they can just kick some serious donation money to the Sunbird project.)
- iCal: Tie “To Do” items to calendar events. And/or set recurrence rules. And/or have them show up on the calendar itself. (maybe differentiate visually? push pin effect?)
- Tabbed iChat. With better logging. And encryption.
- A little utility for importing mailboxes from XP’s Outlook Express.
- Safari: “Really Quit? (13 open tabs)”
- Safari: re-arrange-able tabs.
- Safari: “Mark Page for Snapback” button in the tool bar.
- “Icon” view — fine. “List” view — nice. “Column” view — awesome. Now just add “Tree” view and we’re all set.
- TextEdit: Let me open HTML files as their source! CRIPES!
- “Run [app] as [user]…” Or some other way of going Admin (or at least “Other User”) on a given file, folder, or application w/o having to go to the full 9 of Fast User Switching.
- Let me AppleScript AirPort.
- Desktop icon labels: I want to put them on the left for chrissakes….
- Finder-integrated S/FTP client. How could this NOT already be in there?
- Let’s fix some of those memory leaks, shall we?
