I saw this tip today and implemented it as well. Great find. it makes things much easier than opening iPhoto. Although, it would be nice if you could search by keywords in the resulting window. I suppose that using smart albums can get around most of that.
and i'm also sure that using quicksilver, you could do something similar (is there anything that this app can't do?). But alas i'm not that advanced of a QS user yet. rick On May 1, 2006, at 3:10 PM, Jerry Freeman wrote: > Shamelessly stolen from OS X hints: > > "Since Apple developed its "digital hub", with iLife and now iWork, > I have wanted to have a system-wide panel that would let me choose > pictures from my iPhoto library without having to open the > application. > > For example, if I want to add a picture to a TextEdit RTFD > document, I had to launch iPhoto, chose the picture, and drag it to > the document.
