Quick Slideshows in OS X
Abstract:
Plus special characters!
Body:
I was recently asked to show a bunch of pictures
that I had in a folder, and got to use one of the features of OS X that most
regular users don't know about.
If you
have a folder filled with pictures and want to look at all of them, right now,
and even have a slideshow, it's really
easy.
1. Open the folder containing the
pictures you wish to view.
2. Select the
pictures.
⌘-a to
select all if you want to look at all of
them.
3. Right-click (or ctrl-click) on one
of the images and select
Slideshow.
Now
your images will begin playing full-screen as a slideshow. Move the mouse, and
a few icons will appear that allow you to access other special
functions.
And if you're wondering how
to type that symbol I used in Step 2:
1. Go
to the
Edit
menu and select Special
Characters.
2. View:
All
Characters
3.
Symbols
-> Technical
Symbols.
There you go.
