Leopard’s Finder Seems Unstable

By Athar Khan

A few days ago, Leopard lost about 20% of my data during a move operation from a NAS drive to the local disk. When I searched around, I found that other people had also had problems with Leopard’s Finder. Now, I am noticing that even when dealing with the local disk, if the OS encounters a file which it is unable to handle, it simply hangs. The Copy command basically stays where it is without moving forward or timing out. Also, during one copy operation, the OS crashed.

All of this makes me wonder whether I should downgrade to Tiger. I had issues with the file management on Tiger but only when dealing with a NAS — never on the local disk.

Has anyone else had similar issues with Leopard? Did you decide to decide to downgrade to Tiger or stay with Leopard?
