[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1904022, member: 38864"] NSMacGuru's trick to activate the QuickView feature with the spacebar is a nice one that I only recently stumbled into myself (it had never occurred to me to use it to page through multiple files, not just use it for the one in focus). The only downside to it is that if you have a lot of larger images, it's very slow to move through them. I previously mentioned Xee, but the developer has largely abandoned it. MacPaw bought it out from the original developer several years ago, but I guess they are too busy hawking CleanMyMac to pay it any attention. It has had some weird issues since at least Big Sur, maybe Catalina, that have gone unaddressed. And they have yet to go Universal. What I have found most comparable to my liking is EdgeView 2, on the App Store. My only beef with it is that there's a lag between deleting an image and when the app reflects that. I'm used to something more instantaneous. EdgeView 3 may well be better in this regard, but no free trial or other indication that it's improved makes me hesitant to get that. (EDIT: I decided to pull the trigger on EdgeView 3. It is indeed much better! It looks like the developer recommends sticking to EV2 for Catalina and earlier, EV 3 for Big Sur and beyond. I'm guessing some OS changes are behind the experience differences.) [/QUOTE]
