Leopard sports a whole new finder. In fact, if you're used to iTunes you'll see a lot of similarities. Finder has a new interface to it. Gone is the brushed metal look that were all currently used to. It now looks similar to both iTunes and the Tiger version of Mail. So what's new for features? Leopard's new Finder has some additional things added to the sidebar. All network computers can automatically show up in the sidebar and you can choose right in that window what you want to do. There's even a new function for Macs called screen sharing. If you press that button and the other Mac has screen sharing setup, you can view or take control of that Macs screen. Also added in is smart folders which acts exactly like smart playlists in iTunes. You can set a particular smart folder to automatically add the document to it based on your set criteria. If you make a change to that criteria, the smart folder will automatically add and/or take away files based on what you've changed. The Finder has also added a new view called Cover Flow. Its just like Cover Flow in iTunes. You can flip through all of your documents just as they were albums in iTunes. You can view a picture, Keynote presentation, Word Document, etc right from Cover Flow in Finder. These are just some of the new features in the new Finder.
