Snow Leopard Issues and quirks

[Europa]

Here's a couple of the problems I've encountered so far.

1.Third party screen savers aren't working because they are compiled as 32 bit and need updated to 64 bit.

2. Vuze Bittorrent Client gives this error when opening files by clicking torrent links.
Open Error
'file://localhost/Users/username/whatever.torrent'
could not be opened:
Not a File

The work around is to drag the torrents in or copy the link location and paste it into Vuze. Download speed are slow and port forwarding won't work with the firewall enabled, even if an exception for the program has been created.

The Vuze Devs have stated that some of the issues are due to the newly discontinued Carbon-based SWT, and some of it is due to 64bit java and that they are working on a fix.

Anyone else?

Haven't tried Vuze yet with SL

This is bad news, I haven't even got Snow-Leopard yet, I love Vuze.

Just a few issues here.

The Logitech Control Center wouldn't work to program the wheel button to activate Expose/Spaces. Research on the net suggests it is 32/64 bit issue. They recently released an update but it will not install on 10.6. In order to install Logitech's latest mouse/keyboard control center (v3) I had to view the app contents and specifically select the .mpkg to do the install. Even then, no Expose/Spaces support, but it does launch from preferences without any issues.

I always assign my middle mouse button to show Expose, All Windows. In order to make it work I had to assign Expose/Spaces to my F5 key, tell the Keyboard to use F keys instead of special functions, then assign the middle mouse button to F9 (if Expose/Spaces is set to F9 you can't do the assignment in Logitech because it launches Expose), then change keyboard back to use special assignments, then change Expose/Spaces to use F9 for showing All Windows.

In order to use my Safari plugins including AdBlock and Glims I had to change it to 32 bit.

And I didn't change my kernel to boot in 64 bit just yet, stayed with the default of 32 bit. The change isn't complicated, involves a plist change or manually holding down the 6 and 4 key while booting to activate 64 bit. There is a program that will make the plist change for you on CNet.

No other issue yet.

I already started a thread with this topic. I titled it "port forwarding problems with snow leopard" and then later tried to change it to "Snow Leopard problems" but it just changed the title that is right above my text and not the actual thread title. I PM'd a Mod to fix the title. Here it is, http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum...ard-53842.html

Vuze has an update this morning-not sure if it corrects the problem.

I actually started posting there, but changed. Didn't want to limit it to port forwarding. The mods can merge them.

Ok, it's not really limited to port forwarding though, I also mentioned screen savers and asked if anyone was having other Snow Leopard issues. I sent PM's to Dave and macgirl to change the thread title.

No update for me this morning, I updated last night and that didn't fix the problem. They've known about it for a while because of the beta.
