As un-riveting it may seem, I find the Path Bar my favourite feature of Leopard. If recalled correctly, there was an article which I’ve read before which discussed the sudden trend and importance of having a path bar in an interface. Previously, assuming there isn’t any third party applications involved, one would have to go through the lengths of activating the Path button in the Finder window. Having a proper Path bar will surely speed things up when transfering files etc..

This ones tough. I look forward to loads of new features on Leopard, but…. I think stacks will be one of my favourites. I’ve just recently cleared up my desktop, but I like the odd bit of eye candy and I use 128×128 icons (512×512 will be nice, too) and all of my Safari downloads go straight to my desktop, which annoys me, I could change it, but they wouldn’t be as easy to get at. Plus I can get rid of all of my junk into one stack which I’ll sort later.
I could go on and on with different features, but since the rules say 1, I’ll stick to one. (I’ll leave the rest for a blog post.)

I really like the idea of quick look .. just tap one button and you have an instant preview, that’s really great. Sometimes I’ll be going through many files to find out which is the right one, and opening all of them takes a while .. even using preview. I think quick look will most definitely speed things up.

My favorite feature in leopard is spaces because it just makes my workflow more efficient. Expose is great, but it can be really time consuming, spaces makes finding windows much faster for me.
Let’s see, I need iShowU so I can screencast stuff for my video podcast iEye (ieyeshow.blip.tv Shameless plug) and, being 13, I can’t afford to buy it myself.

I love spaces, since it allows me to switch between the collections of apps I use more easily.
