Thank you for bringing these incredible games to OS X and thank you for adding PS3 and PS4 controls (my PS4 controllers worked for both this and BioShock, it was great). This doesn't come with the PS4 file, however, only the PS3 file. So if you happen to have a PS4 control just contact Feral. They literally emailed me back 30 minutes later. It starts out slow when you don't have access to a lightsaber but once you do it's great. Took me 26 hours to beat, though I tried to be thorough with the quests so I'm sure you could do it faster. Also, be prepared for a decent amount of slow travel Tatooine's Dune Sea is a vast area of virtually nothing but sand, which is a little.

Window resizing

Since the release of 10.0, almost every Apple presentation that has mentioned Mac OS X has talked about the need for performance improvements, and has specifically mentioned window resizing as a bullet point, right alongside better hardware support and the need for native applications. It boggles my mind that something as mundane as window resizing was allowed to ship in 10.0 in such a horrendous state that it garnered special mention in every significant review of the OS X—including Apple's!

The worst window resize performance in 10.0.x was provided by none other than the Finder itself. List view windows, in particular, were so unresponsive as to be nearly useless. Resizing a list view Finder window was one of the first things I tried in 10.1.

I was overjoyed when I saw how responsive it was, even on the G3/400. It's still nowhere near as fast as outline resizing (in Mac OS 9 or X), but the performance in 10.0.x was so bad that anything close to acceptable performance feels super-fast in 10.1.

Of course, that feeling wears off eventually. But the 10.1 performance is good enough to make list view Finder windows useful again, and that's something, at least. The resize performance in all the other Finder window views is also improved. The only remaining problem with Finder window resizing is a slight pause before there's any response (especially on slower systems).

After the dramatic improvement of the Finder's window resize performance, I rushed to try other applications. I was in for a disappointment. Applications other than the Finder do not seem to have significantly improved window resize performance vs. 10.0.4 on the same hardware—even applications that have changed since 10.0.x. Resizing an IE window, for example, is still painfully, uselessly slow on the G3/400. (It also suffers form some cosmetic issues.) And while the bundled Mail application does show improvement over the 10.0.x version, it's still much too slow on the G3 to be considered 'adequately responsive.'

So what, exactly, is the new Finder doing that these applications aren't? I'm not sure, but (not surprisingly) I have a theory.

Pro darts 2018 mac os. Using the Quartz Debug application from the developer tools (which flashes any changed portion of the screen in yellow), I observed that list-view Finder windows flash a region equal to the extension of the window to the right and bottom edges of the screen whenever a resize move is initiated. The (simulated) animation below shows an example:

Resize 'initiation' is indicated by a drag of one or more pixels in any direction on the resize widget. (Merely clicking and holding on the resize widget doesn't cause the yellow flash.) What's going on here? For some clues, let's look back a bit at the history of window resizing in OS X.

If one was to judge window resize performance in OS X based on every 10.0.x demonstration given by Steve Jobs, it would not appear to be a problem at all. When faced with the dismal performance of 10.0.x on their own computers, many Mac users eventually realized that the reason all of Jobs's demonstrations showed good resize performance was that he almost always chose to resize a window with good resize performance characteristics—his favorite being an image in the Preview application. Resizing in Preview is fast because it is merely 'clipping' the image. The picture in the window exists in memory that is allocated when the image is loaded; resizing the window simply reveals or hides portions of the previously allocated buffer.

I contend that the Finder in Mac OS X 10.1 is doing exactly the same thing, but on a per-resize basis. When a resize action is initiated, I believe the Finder allocates a single, large image area (filled with the hidden contents of the Finder window, if any) that extends as far as the user can possibly resize that particular window (i.e. as far to the right and bottom as possible), which is the exact area indicated by the yellow flash. (Note that this allocation would also account for the 'pause' I've experienced.) Subsequent resize motion is reduced to clipping: hiding or revealing the image that was allocated when the resize action was initiated. And as Jobs demonstrated so well in his 10.0.x demos, clipping is fast. It's fast in 10.1 too, and therefore so is Finder window resizing.

This is all speculation, of course. (Apple programmers should feel free to set me straight. And don't worry, I won't tell the boss ;-) But the Finder must be doing something differently than other OS X applications. On the other hand, the optimization may not be in the Finder itself, but in the 'data browser' widget that the Finder's list view is based on. If this is the case, any application that uses this widget may benefit from the optimization.

Rados mac os. Whatever technique the Finder is using, other OS X applications should adopt it, if possible, and revert to non-opaque outline resizing if acceptable performance cannot be achieved. The developers of Microsoft's Word X Test Drive, a demo of their soon-to-be-released OS X native version of Word, appear to have similar opinions of the situation. Windows in the Word X Test Drive use outline resizing on both the G3/400 and dual G4/450, and the user experience is significantly improved because of it.

If the Finder is really doing what I think it's doing, this optimization will not help any application that wants to dynamically reflow window contents during a resize. Internet Explorer currently tries to do this, with very poor results on the G3/400, and barely acceptable performance on the dual G4/450.

Despite the dramatically increased performance in the 10.1 Finder, I believe that what I wrote in my 10.0 review still applies to window resizing in Mac OS X 10.1, overall: Infinity challenge mac os.

Keep in mind the goal of opaque resizing: better visual feedback and an increased feeling of direct manipulation. Mac OS X's opaque resizing fails on both counts, and would have been disabled if usability was the primary concern.

On the other hand, if you add 'marketing' and the ability to perform gee-whiz demos to the picture, perhaps the feature can be better explained. While I recognize the value of such things, you have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. At the very least, Apple should have added a system-wide option to disable opaque resizing in favor of gray outlines.

If Apple is unable (or unwilling) to add such a system-wide option, it is up to developers to decide where it is 'safe' to implement opaque resizing. Microsoft's Mac developers have apparently decided that opaque resizing was not ready for the Word X Test Drive. (We'll find out in November if the final release acts the same way.) Other Mac OS X developers should evaluate their own applications and make some decisions (possibly even at run-time, based on the hardware) about where and when opaque resizing is appropriate. I use several applications every day that exhibit painfully slow window resize performance. I've had Windows users briefly use OS X and initially think that the entire OS has frozen based on an unresponsive (or unsuccessful!) window resize attempt. Experience using OS X teaches you to slow down during window resizing and wait for the display to catch up to your cursor. This is a bad thing.

While the Finder's resize performance improvements are very welcome, this problem has not gone away, and will not go away until application developers (including Apple) start to make decisions based on the actual usability of opaque resizing, rather than the 'expected' performance or bullet-point marketability. Window resizing is not a 'high-end' feature. It's as basic as closing a window or selecting an icon. Window resizing should perform nearly perfectly on every Austy mac os. system that Mac OS X can run on. If it cannot be opaque, so be it.

This is the method I have been working on to cut down a mini or micro sim to a nano sim size, together with pitfalls I found along the way.
