Snow Leopard – Two Cool Things

Two cool things I noticed recently in Snow Leopard:

Finder can now “Quick Look” Adobe Illustrator files (as long as they are saved with the default PDF preview turned on). I’m not sure why this didn’t work in 10.5 since Preview.app could already preview similar .ai files. Anyway, this makes me happy.

In screen sharing the thumbnail window is now a live preview. Before it seemed to just be a screen shot from the last moment you were in that window. The live thumbnail is great for several reasons. For example, you can see when a file transfer is completed without having to switch back and forth between local and remote full screens.

iTunes 9 – Home Sharing

I like that Apple has added Home Sharing in iTunes 9. It allows you to “sync” music, movies, tv shows, audiobooks and applications, with up to 5 computers in your house. It can automatically transfer new purchases of the mentioned file types—although only works with purchased files.

This works great for keeping my work iTunes synced up with my home iTunes. I just bring in my laptop every few days and sync it up. I wish they would add the ability to sync play counts and ratings.

I’m curious how it will work with mp3’s that have had the ID3 tags modified from one library to another.
