I don't want to have to perform some procedure every time I add pictures to a folder. What's the sense in that? I just want iPhoto to clue-up and add it like almost any Windows viewer can do. Thanks for your trouble, though. I do appreciate it.

For you people late to the rodeo what we want iPhoto to do is automatically refresh a "smart" folder kind of like Finder does. You add a photo to a folder in Finder--and look--there it is in thumbnail view if you so choose. iPhoto has no way of doing this without flying to the moon. Someone out there must have made an app to do this. I just can't believe otherwise. Please remember, the operative word is automatically. Please don't tell me, "Oh, all you have to do is XY and Z then AB and C to it. That's not helpful.

But then iPhoto is not a "picture viewer". It is a photo library management system for people using a digital camera, that's all.

I use Quicklook, but it has many limitations. Can't zoom, can't print, has only two sizes, only one of which permits changing images, etc. -- John Varela |
