Yeah, I know tips and hints are all over the net right now but I though, what the hell, let's share some!
1. Auto complete is any Cocoa application. Start typing a word and press F5.
2. Terminal in Panther is now the bash shell by default instead of tcsh. Alter your prompt colours and such by following these directions: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-tip-prompt/
Mine is set like this: PS1="\[\e[33;1m\]\h:\[\e[31;1m\]\w \[\e[0m\]\u$ "
alias ls='ls -G'
(I edited the /etc/bashrc file directly)
3. You can create Desktop printer icons now by simply dragging the printer from the Printer Setup to the desktop.
4. Have a look at the Filters in the ColorSync utility. You can create your own filters with various options and apply them to ouput when you print on the fly. Look at the Colorsync menu inthe print dialog. There's stuff in there for PDF/X3a!!!!
5. Check out http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/ on how to use GPG to encrypt files and email directly in Panther. Oh, its free too!
6. You may already know this but you can select any number of files and or fodler and create cross-platform .zip files. Create archive in the File menu of the Finder is what you want. Keep in mind, resource forks of files and handled wierdly but for the most part it work fine. BTW, this is the default method that Mail sends attachments now. Its about time.
add your own, I've got more but I'm running out of time.
