This evening the Apple company announced the release of OS X Mavericks, an important name change from the feline classics we are used to. One of the first novelties announced by Apple is Finder Tabs, and this feature allows you to group several Finder windows into tabs, each with its own setting for the interface, each with its own location. Finder Tabs allows easier file transfer between tabs, and allows users to use tabs in fullscreen on any Mac.
The second important novelty is the option to categorize files with various tags, the respective tags being displayed in the sidebar of each Finder tab. By selecting each tag separately, you can see the files that are categorized with that tag, you can change the color of the respective tag and by dragging files in the tab of a tag, you automatically categorize the file with that tag. Of course, the tag search function allows you to quickly find files based on the keyword for that tag, this being one of its main uses.
The third important function is Multiple Displays, it allows you to display content from OS X on several displays. Basically, you can transfer any application windows from one screen to another by simply dragging that window from the main screen to the secondary one. On the secondary screen you will view the information from OS X, you will be able to drag files between the open windows on both displays, but the interesting part is that through mission control you have a separate overview for each individual screen. If you are still not surprised, then I will tell you that the Apple TV becomes a third or secondary screen for macs and allows you to use certain applications.
The new version of OS X includes iBooks and Maps applications specially designed for large screens, so now you will be able to read books from the iBookStore much more easily, but you will be able to find locations much faster if you do not use Google Maps. OS X Mavericks is to be released in the near future in the Mac App Store, just like the last two versions of the operating system.
An important update for OS X could not come without streamlining all the processes that happen behind the scenes, so Apple promises to improve the battery life of Macs, as well as increase performance. Compressed Memory and App Nap are two technologies that redirect the energy of applications open in the background to the ones you use, so that Mac resources will not be used pointlessly. The implementation of this technology will reduce by up to 72% the entire consumption generated by the processor, but we are talking about what Apple says.
Continuing the news, I will tell you that OS X Mavericks will have implemented a notification system similar to the one available in iOS, more precisely, Mac owners will be able to view notifications in the LockScreen of the device and will have unread notifications displayed in a new way .
