I have no such feature on my Mac. I control click on a folder full of pics, the context menu pops up, no submenu with a list of the contents. You must be running something that does this. >But, then again, I stay current with the OS, I'm running 10.4.4, >whereas 10.3.9 is four updates behind.

Not present in either. As for comparing to XP, the thumbnail view was available since the first release of XP, which was what... 2001? 2002? So comparing it to any reasonably current version of OS X is giving OS X the advantage already. But don't get me wrong... sure, this is a great feature in XP, but one good feature does not a good OS make. I'll keep my Mac and OS X and just accept the loss of the thumbnail view ability. Pointing out that XP has it, at least in my opinion, is not saying XP is better, instead it is a simple "hey, this is a handy feature, any way to replicate it on the Mac" issue. :-) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
