Good to know that I am not alone! It will switch off if I hold the
button in for 5+ seconds though - we await the patch.
For quite a major release Leopard seems pretty polished - just awaiting
updates for The Missing Sync (Windows Mobile /PDA synching) and Super
Duper although the Time Machine may well supercede this if I can muster
enough disk space on the WD Passport.
Super Duper is very good as it allows you to specify the files for
backup rather than assuming you want the whole disk.

Time Machine can also do this - you can set up exclusions in the Time
Machine section in System Preferences - it's under the "Options"
button.

Same problem here. No button manager for Leopard. I really used this
feature too, so I hope they come out with a fix.

I really hope they fix it soon.. I'm having a few issues like watching
a movie from the drive and the drive going to sleep >.<..

Same problem here with the Mybook Pro drive. Hopefully WD will do
something about it soon.

Have been searching the net and found this link to a patch that is
supposed to work but I follow the instructions ans get a file not found
error message in terminal.
