Safari – I don’t feel compelled to use Firefox, and I was surprised to find that about 1/3 of my HD for Indies readers did when I started using Amazon Affiliate ad blocks (which broke it at the time). For pro users, this is a serious step backwards!

QuickTime Player – Scott Simmons wrote about some of the issues/limitations/omissions of the QT X player, so don’t forget to install the QT 7 Player to maintain functionality. Preview – best freebie image viewer, and even allows for a little basic editing/color correction in a pinch. Anyway, part of OS X again – so guaranteed compatibility. I’m using it for this post to prep my content. TextEdit – OK, if I want to format a LITTLE bit, TextEdit, since I can do fonts and styles.

Version 3.0 is Snow Leopard blessed, so I updated from 2.1.3. I’m either formatting text (InDesign or Keynote) or I’m not – and if not, I’m using TextWrangler, the free cousin of BBEdit. Money well spent! Version 8.2.8 is compatible with Snow Leopard – so I upgraded from 6.x, free update, my registration still worked.Nice install process – double click the app, and it asks to install the System Pref and Contextual Menu – very nice! I don’t use it daily, but when you need it, you NEED it. It is also good to see network and disc traffic transfer rates – how fast is that download/upload going? Is that FireWire transfer running at full speed? And so forth – very handy.Ī Better Finder Rename – great for bulk renaming of files.

Snow Leopard Compatibility: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Compatibility List that is a wikiĪlphabetical tour of my dock for compatibility and in case anybody cares about what tools I use:Īctivity Monitor – there will be a new one, and I use this daily – I use it to track CPU utilization to see if something is chewing cycles unreasonably, and also to see if something IS chewing them reasonably (I test a lot of software, not always for public review). Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: Compatibility from the ever excellent MacInTouch blog, I used a couple of different resources to find compatibility – I’m not entirely strict about it, since I eventually just started putting new camera stuff on the right.

Read on for how I evaluated whether to upgrade, and for which system.Īnyway, I organize my Dock by complexity of content/task – which is why unformatted text is on the left, and HDR bracketing software and compositing is on the right. After I was back for 5 days, then I started to care about computer stuff again, I sat down and started looking at my Dock to see what was the software I use regularly that I’ll care about compatibility with. Then I went to Burning Man and didn’t care about computers for a week, a process I highly recommend.

As I only have two Intel based machines (an 8 core Mac Pro and a black MacBook), I figured I’d try it out on the MacBook first.įirst thing I did was pick up a copy on sale at MacMall for $25 – cheapest OS upgrade ever! So I was thinking about dipping a toe into Snow Leopard.
