thumbnail viewer

I've been looking at posts with software tips but can't seem to find a good program that can show thumbs. I know iPhoto shows them, but I don't want to import all my old pics into iPhoto.

Prefer to keep them on my backup DVD's. The finder doesn't show them to me in the same "good" way as Windows does (thumbnail view).

Are there any good suggestions out there?

I use Adobe Bridge and Lightroom Beta for thumbnail viewing. Bridge costs money, lightroom beta is free.

you just want to see thumbnails of photos? In Finder, go to View> Show View Options, and then tick 'show icon preview'. Another way is to simply browse Finder in column mode (hit apple+3 in a finder window) - that will automatically show a thumbnail, along with file info.

As far as I can gather, that's all you need to do to view any image with a thumbnail. Simple.

There was a topic about this not long ago. heh, it's deja vu for me
Anyway, that should help you.

Great hint dtownly, I did not know that about the view show icon preview. That works great as well.
