A reader over at AppleInsider going by the screen name of inewton1974 has pointed the site to an annotated Flickr album containing roughly four dozen Snow Leopard screenshots published earlier last week. The pictures show numerous tweaks in Snow Leopard's Finder, the unique features of QuickTime X and more.
The reader, who is also the source of the screenshots in question, notes that Snow Leopard's setup assistant now warns users when they don't supply a password hint. QuickLook capabilities have been built into universal Open and Save dialog windows, the poster outlines. He continues to point out to more interesting stuff occurring with the new Cocoa-based Finder, revealing that the Clean Up command used to rearrange icons into place now "slides" or shifts icons abruptly in what is described as "a neat visual effect." Snow Leopard's Finder also adds a slider control for resizing icons akin to iPhoto's slider for resizing photo thumbnails.
Most noteworthy is that the QuickTime preference pane has been removed in OS X 10.6, alongside any preferences from within the player itself. This, AppleInsider notes, continues to fuel speculation that Apple is likely to eliminate the Pro version of QuickTime in favor of a built-in QuickTime X Player sporting the full set (play, save, capture etc.) of pro-grade features. The site then goes to post relevant screenshots based on inewton1974's observations.
