[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1346144, member: 145676"] You didn't say if the Mac was new or used - so I am assuming it was new and has Lion. If that is wrong please correct me. With default finder - your best bet is to use cover flow - then use the up/down arrows to switch between files. (The icon view doesn't wrap the selection so it messes up the flwo especially when trying to read something like you are.) You can keep the preview up and it should just switch files. With the new preview - the size of the picture changes with each switch to fit the picture correctly. You could also use ctrl-tab or ctrl-shift-tab. Don't know of a mouse way of scrolling through tabs in safari. There is also an expose type add on called exposer which you may want to try. [url]http://www.pimpmysafari.com/items/Exposer-Safari-Extension/[/url] Shows all open tabs in a preview for all open windows. Are you trying to hide a folder? You can always change an image of a folder. But I don't think there is a way to change the label to do what you want. You can also preclude the name with a . - ie .hidden -> for unix systems this means hidden. You won't be able to see it with regular finder. The only way to see it is to use an extension like pathfinder or total finder, use the command line to expose it, use the go to folder command in finder to get there directly. You can also use command line to get there and open it as well. [/QUOTE]
