11 major new Snow Leopard features
MacWorld rounds up Snow Leopard’s new features. “Smart Eject” sounds like it’s going to be super useful:
When you first attempt to eject a disk, the eject manager actually sends out a signal to its own subsystems and other programs, asking them to relinquish their hold on the volume if that’s possible. If that fails because a program really is using the drive, Snow Leopard will bring up a window telling you which program doesn’t want to let you eject the disk. You can then switch to that program, quit out of it, and eject the disk.
