Nospam, when it calls for intervention to do something, it isn't automatic. The easiest way is to simply drag a folder into the sidebar. But who wants to constantly do that, especially with dozens of folders? Lightroom is overkill but will probably work. It would be nice to get iPhoto to do it natively.

The OP should be looking for Thumbnailer, not image viewer I think, tho' the two are sometimes combined. Mike's "Multi-Thumbs.app" comes the closest to what I want (doesn't auto update a folder tho' which the OP wanted). http://homepage.mac.com/mdewalt/iWeb/Site/Thumb-Applications.html Still, its a keeper for me. -- dee |
