Leopard annoyances

[Cap'n Rusty]

Okay, I have some real pet peeves with Leopard....

1. Repairing permissions takes FOREVER.

2. I can't unmount external drives from the Finder window. I click the little eject icon, but nothing happens. Also, dragging the drive to the trash does nothing. The only I can disconnect them is to use Disk Utility, which is very annoying.

3. To connect to my AirDisk, I have to physically turn the drive off and back on again. If I eject it, I can't reconnect without restarting it. This is also very annoying, as the drive is in another room.

I'm using a 17" MBP C2D, by the way. It's not like I'm trying this on something that's barely Leopard compatible. I think I might go back to TIger.

Oh yeah...

4. I can't set some folders to use icon view and some to use list view, etc. When I switch in one folder, it changes the view for every folder on the computer (as well as on an external drive).

wow, copying things to the AirDisk takes an unbelievably long time

Address Book will not launch for me. Instantly quits unexpectedly.
That's my only problem so far.

UPDATE- that was the old Address Book that got migrated over. The new one was in there too and works fine. Same deal with Calculator.

External drives unmount for me.

My problem is that the screen saver seems to lock upon launch, so the initial image never changes. Moving the mouse or clicking a key clears the screensaver as one would expect. There's just no movement of the 'saver.
