About this site

For six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul

Tiger Feature of the Day: Finder Slideshows

In Tiger, you can now trigger a full-featured slideshow directly from the Finder. Here's how it works.

First, navigate to a folder that contains a number of image files. Then select the files you'd like to include in the slideshow. Right-click the group and select "Slideshow." The slideshow automatically begins.

While the slideshow is running, you can bring up the slideshow menu by moving the mouse. The menu has six buttons: Back, Play/Stop, Next, Index Sheet, Fit to Screen, and Close. You can also quit the slideshow by pressing the ESC key.

And ... that's it. Finder Slideshows seem to work fine, though they're not particularly discoverable (i.e. there's no Mac menu item that starts a slideshow). But if you don't have iPhoto and would like to trigger a slideshow, Tiger is there for you.
