[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 944150, member: 88633"] 1. What are you attaching thumbnails to, and why? 2. iPhoto can do all the things you name here, though I'm not sure what you mean by adding text. Do you mean adding captions? iPhoto can do that and much more. Have you actually tried playing around with iPhoto? I've provided you with links to tutorials that answer many of the basic questions you've had... are you not clicking on them? Here are several iPhoto tutorials you can view. [url=http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto]Apple - iLife - Find out how to use iLife applications on the Mac.[/url] 3. It sounds like you're expecting the app switcher to open a window that's been minimized into the dock. Choosing the app will reveal that app (if you look in the menu bar, you should see the name of the app) but it won't open any windows within that app. To hide a window without closing or minimizing it, hit Command+H. Then when you choose that app from the app switcher, that window will appear. 4. If you drag a file from Finder and into the body of an email message to attach it, its size WILL be visible for you to see. 5. With the folder selected in Finder, choose View>Show View Options and there should be an option that makes that folder always open in list, column, or icon view. 6. Every OS has unique and specific controls that don't translate into other OS's. But it sounds like you might want to try Expose, which will fan out all your open windows and let you easily choose which one you want to work with. This makes it easy to jump back and forth between all your open windows. Here's how you can use Expose.
