Cabel Sasser Finds OS X’s “Awesomest Finder Bug of All Time”

Panic‘s Cabel Sasser found a funny Finder bug in a pre-release version of Mac OS X 10.4, in which Spotlight tries to index every layer of a massive Photoshop document, resulting in vertigo-inducing zoom effect when minimized to the Dock. (This bug has been fixed.)

If you’re into Coda, Panic, Mac shareware development, resolution-independent interface design, anti-piracy techniques (complete with real-world anecdotes!), or just software development with an attention to detail, Sasser’s talk was really fun. I watched the whole thing Saturday and am now completely sure I would be an awful developer.

Update: Sasser has posted his Keynote deck from the talk, as well as the .PSD he uses for vector-based resolution-independent layout design. [Cabel.name]
