Apple Bug Friday Review III: Mac OS X 10.4.5
Friday, 2006-02-17; 00:30:00
Mac OS X 10.4.5 was about a 7 MB update for me, so I doubt it's going to fix many of the bugs that I've reported. Still, one can hope, right? Below is the table you all have come to know and love. Note that I've added a new column that tells when I first reported the bug.
These tables are going to get extraordinarily long pretty fast if Apple doesn't do something. :P New Apple Bug Friday tomorrow, hopefully. I have a few that I might do all at once, since they're all related.

VII | 4293074 | Many items on desktop causes high CPU usage | appears fixed (this would probably be more apparent on an older machine like my mom's iBook G3 where I saw the problem was very prevalent in Panther) | still open | 10.4.2 |

XIV | 4364498 | iTunes does not allow some info/options to be changed en-masse, no "TV Show" option for Video Kind | partially fixed: there is now a "TV Show" option for video kind in iTunes 6.0.2, but it still hasn't addressed the problem of not being able to batch change some info/options -- I needed this today, but thankfully AppleScript helped | still open | 10.4.3 |

XXII | 4394583 | NSTableColumns don't trigger autosave positions of the NSTableView to update when they are added to the NSTableView | too early to tell | closed, even though I didn't submit a sample project -- I should probably resubmit this | 10.4.3 |
