This new installation method certainly beats the old method of digging through the Library folder!

I recently downloaded a screen saver module. When I mounted the image file, the screen saver had the standard .saver extension, but the icon wasn't generic. Could it be that Panther recognizes the .saver filetype? I double-clicked the file and was immediately shown a dialog box explaining that the file needed to be installed first, and would like to install it for one user or for all?

10.3: Install screen savers with a double-click
I know it's minor, but the one difference between installing screen savers in this way (instead of copying the file) is that it loses its custom icon. Many screen savers have a custom icon, and it must just be ignored when copying the file.
10.3: Install screen savers with a double-click
I'm too lazy to try myself, but does this procedure work with font files also? I miss the good ol' Classic OS days of easy font installation (drop it on the System Folder).
10.3: Install screen savers with a double-click
Yes - double-click on a font file (TT, OTF or T1's screen font suitcase) and FontBook will open, display a sample of the font in a window that has a button "Install this font." Quite sweet. |
