[QUOTE="KnocksX, post: 1904427, member: 410872"] Thank you for all the responses. I realize I was necromancing a thread but it's ranked highly in Google and lots of people probably come here looking for solutions. These people will probably benefit from up-to-date solutions and a renewed discussion. I will get to all the responses later but wanted to address these two first. I am wary of Photos because it seems connected to iCloud and exhibits iTune-ish behavior, using scary words like "Import" and "Sync," which implies that it creates duplicate copies of my images in a separate location and wastes disk space (not to mention creating additional maintenance work). This is a nightmare that I went through with iTunes and my MP3s back in the day and don't even want to experience again. Whether it actually does all those things or not, I'm not sure, but it did give me a small heart attack when I opened it and it said "Imported," and I quit the app promptly. All I'm trying to do is view a few images directly from Finder. I don't need any importing or copying. I downloaded version 3 of Xee and loved it until I saw that it fails to display about 1/3 of my images correctly and displays a "TV static" screen instead. Has that been your experience as well? It's a real shame because the app seemed perfect. [/QUOTE]
