Sure, if that's the way you do it, fine. I mean, really. Who cares how you drag it. I'm looking to avoid that altogether. >> But who wants to constantly do that, especially with dozens of folders? >> Lightroom is overkill but will probably work.

I don't think Lightroom auto-refreshes, does it? It creates its own catalog and works from that.

It creates its own > catalog and works from that. i never tried using a watch folder, but it should add it to the catalog and you could set up a smart query to always show the most recent additions.

Well, if selecting the images you want to see is too hard for you, just drag the folder onto the Preview.app icon on the dock to open all of them. Seems like the Macintosh "method" usually involves selecting a document and then double-clicking it to open the associated application. If you want to avoid that altogether there's always the Terminal...

Thanks - I didn't know that (recent Windows switcher). That does a lot of what I used Irfanview for. One more thing, though: can it delete images as I look through them? That something I do a lot. I'll transfer a ton of pictures from my digital camera. Many are variations of each other. With Irfanview I could very quickly step through them, deleting bad shots, fixing sideways shots, and croping images. It's that extreme simplicity and speed that made it so great. David |
