OS X 10.4.1 is in the wild

I don't think running a large video in the foreground on your overclocked G3 is going to make Safari move aaaany faster for you, mate. ;)

It went smooth for me, one interesting thing I noticed - judge for your self on usefulness - if you check your recycle bin after the update to 10.4.1 it has a folder "Recovered Files" in this folder you will find the update 19.5MB (900Mhz G3) - not so great for sharing with friends - as you say DoubleWha - but good to add to my backup folder. How do I get to that intro scene, where's it hidden - I did a clean install and loved it... But I'd love to run it when I get bored... or while waiting for Safari (which I notice has made progress, but only just).

Here's something on the size of the update from Apple's site: "The update's size may vary from computer to computer when installed through Software Update. Because some updates are prerequisites for others, you may need to run Software Update more than once to get all available updates." S

Strange. Your 10.4.1 update is 37MB whereas mine only clocked in at around 19MB if I recall correctly. Anyone else?

Aaron Jacobs -- Many thanks for the tip! Helped me get MailEnhancer, Growl and Mail Act-On working again.

I'm not yet a Tiger owner, but I'm getting the sense that this is still 10.4b. Did Panther act up this much when it was born? Another thing that has always made me laugh is the language in Software Update: "...is recommended for all users." Is there going to be an update that "is only recommended for neat freaks and early adopters."

Apple disabled third-party plug-ins in Mail 2.0.1. Here's how I fixed GPGMail. It will probably work for Growl, too. 1. Quit Mail. 2. On the terminal, run 'defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 1' without the quotes. 3. Start Mail. 4. Quit Mail. 5. Rename ~/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled) to just Bundles, or reinstall the plug-in. 6. Start Mail. I had to mess around with opening Mail a few times after running the terminal command before reinstalling the plug-in, otherwise the setting wouldn't take.

There's nothing to "fix". You want downloads to automatically do their thing and run / open in Safari, then this is the type of thing you are asking for.

Is it just me or is this "widget security hole" taking strange mediatic proportions..??? Everyone is talking about it but has anyone heard of or actually experienced any real issue related to this widget security thingy? Has this "security hole" allready been exploited to do something really nasty or is this just a reaction to the whole talk about OS X being generally more secure ("Finally something that might perhaps go really wrong!")

My download was super quick. It did, however, crash my computer and then give me the multilingual screen of death. It also looks like it killed Growl for Mail.app... Aside from that all seems good, my rebooting seems faster now.
