"Slideshow" feature in finder...?

Have a folder full of images. I select all and control-click to bring up the menu, then click "slideshow".
Works great, however seems to display the images in a completely random order. Even bringing up the index of all images in slideshow displays them out of order.
Is there a way to have the images play in the same order as their filenames are listed? (Alphanumeric)

Search for "slideshow in Mac Help Menu. Instructions for using slideshow:
"Viewing images as a slideshow"
You can also pick a folder of photos, select all or just the ones you want, then right click and select slide show. The slides play in the order the folder is organized.
Windows people are often unpleasantly surprised when the Mac doesn't work like windoze. The Mac has numerous ways to make slideshows, the finder version the least used of them all.

  • Finder Slideshow Feature?

    I am was using the finder slideshow feature to view some images of mine, but I realized my pictures were going out of the order they were named. Is there anyway i can fix this?

    Rohit,
    Change the view of the Finder window to column view, select the pictures, then choose "Slideshow." When in icon view, the Finder sorts in a different, sometimes unexpected way.

  • How do you get Slideshow in the Finder to NOT randomize the order?

    This has been bugging me for a very long time. Does anyone know how to stop the Slideshow feature from randomizing the order of the photos?
    As an aside, why is this the default behavior in the first place?

    Oddly enough my sis-in-law called me last night wanting to know how do a slideshow on a Mac (she is normally on her Windows machine, but since my brother is currently in Bangkok she was using his Mac and couldn't ask him). I explained the Finder method, including the "random" problem, and also how to use Preview to do the show (and to sort them in Preview to change the order--control click in the drawer displaying the thumbs and then choose the sort method). One thing she would like to do that I don't know how to accomplish is to have the name of the pix display while the show is running. You can choose that if you make the slideshow in iPhoto, but evidently not in the Finder or Preview.

  • Slidehow feature in Finder, missing images

    Hello, very recent "switcher" here.
    I can't seem to get the Finder slideshow feature to work properly. I select column view in Finder, then all the images in the folder and select the sideshow action, but the slideshow only ever picks up a portion of the images (e.g. maybe only 50 out of 288). This is noticeable when I escape out of the slideshow to thumbnail view. I expect to be able to see all the images (like in Windows Explorer). Maybe I am missing something but I expected this to work. Seems this was noticed by others in 10.4.6 (I have 10.4.10), see http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2687662 and it wasn't resolved within that thread. The images are a mixture of png, bmp, jpg and gif but the slideshow doesn't seem to be leaving out any given type.

    Actually, it should show 99 out of 288. The Finder's slideshow feature is limited to 99. However, the application Preview has no such limitation. Select your 288 pictures, control or right click and then, instead of selecting Slideshow select "Open With" and pick Preview. Another advantage of Preview is that you needn't make the selection in Column view, you can use List or Icon view, then when Preview opens control or right click in the drawer and select the sort order you want (even though "name" says it is selected, it isn't, just re-select it, or select something else, such as date). When they are arranged in the order you want go to the Preview menu item View and select Slideshow.

  • Can you SLOW down the presentation of the Slideshow feature?

    Just published my first Web site with iWeb -- great program. However, I find the Slideshow feature for the photo album page a little kwerky -- sometimes it works, other times it stalls, even after I decreased file sizes to under 100K.
    When it does work the rate that it presents the photos is too fast for my purpose. Is there any way I can slow it down?

    Check out Bob's posts in this thread. He has implemented a little pulldown menu in which you can select the interval used in the slideshow!

  • Just updated to Iphoto 9.1.3 but the slideshow feature not working

    Just updated to Iphoto 9.1.3 but the slideshow feature not working at all. Screen goes white but any features selected, nothing is produced .The themes preview windows are blank too. is there something missing?

    Sounds like it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Slideshow feature in Adobe Bridge in CS3

    I use Mac OS X 10.5.5 with Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge CS3. I am using a Sony DSL a350 and shoot my images in Sony's raw format which they label as ARW. Photoshop recognizes this format. But, if I wish to save my images in a readily recognizable raw format, the only option offered is Photoshop Raw. This works fine except that when I want to view these Photoshop Raw files using Bridge's slideshow feature, all I get is a tiny thumbnail instead of a full screen image. Strangely enough, when I double click the image in Bridge, it opens up the full file.

    > Photoshop recognizes this format. But, if I wish to save my images in a readily recognizable raw format, the only option offered is Photoshop Raw.
    When opening a Camera Raw format (such as your Sony ARW format) you HAVE to save it out as a TIFF, PSD or JPEG out of Photoshop. You CAN'T save it out of Photoshop as a raw digital capture because once you open it via Camera Raw it ain't raw any more...it's processed.
    Photoshop Raw is not for digital captures, it's literally a raw format meaning you have to spec out the byte order, etc.

  • CS 3 Bridge crashes / freezes when trying to run the slideshow feature

    A while back I deactivated Photoshop CS3 that was installed on my laptop. Then this past week I went to reinstall it again. One thing I noticed was that the PS-CS3 and Bridge Icons were still residing on my desktop. I went into the "add/remove programs" and sure enough there was PS-CS3 sitting there. So I tried to do an uninstall first. When I clicked the tab to do a remove program it just sat there. I contacted Adobe Tech support and they sent me the script to to an uninstall. It worked, the Icons went away and so I proceded to do a new install. I entered the serial numbers and activated it and all seemed well. Then I went into the Bridge, everything seemed ok there too. I was able to use the RAW converter, view thumbnails and the rest. Then I went to a specific folder where I had some files that were converted to JPEG to run the slideshow feature. That is when Bridge hung up and a few seconds later it closed the preview window that had opened for the slideshow preview.
    Does this have something to do with the amount of RAM on my laptop? Or maybe the cache? I ask because I had never needed to use the slideshow feature until now and everthing seemed ok even prior to uninstalling and reinstalling.
    I have 1 gig or ram... the hard drive is 350 gigabytes and there is a ton of room still available. The processor is ok. Oh also, I have Lightroom 2 installed on this machine too and it's slideshow feature runs fine. But I would prefer to use the slideshow feature in bridge.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

    Copy the jdev_home/jlib/redist/uix2_install.zip file to
    jdev_home/jdev/redist folder . It will overwrite an existing uix2_install.zip file.
    Close and open the Jdeveloper IDE. It will prompt you for upgradation of projects. Press OK button in response.
    Now you should be able to run the JSP pages.

  • The slideshow feature in iphoto 9.5.1 not working properly

    The slideshow feature in iphoto 9.5.1,does not start at the first slide no matter what I do

    You're running the slideshow directly from an album or an Event, correct.  This has been a problem for a number of users and there's not been a fix discovered.
    Many found that creating the slideshow in the slideshow mode will eliminate that problem.
    Give us details.

  • Flash Slideshow Feature: Help?

    I am having trouble with Dreamweaver's Flash slideshow
    feature. All the Flash elements work properly (as I have set them)
    except the *imageLinks* and *imageLinkTarget* options. Regardless
    of what I enter (or leave blank) the resulting Flash show makes the
    images clickable with www.adobe.com being the linked site. I don't
    want any links on my slideshow but I cannot get rid of this feature
    even when my elements panel indicates no (or other settings).
    Help?

    I too have been having problems with the ImageViewer. I have
    posted a question in this forum about how changing the
    ImageUrlTarget actually does make clicks on the slide show image
    open a larger image, but not in a new window, even though this
    parameter has been set to "_blank".
    I believe the problems with the ImageViewer may be caused by
    how the in page Embedded Code and SWF relate. Specifically, it
    seems as if you need to re-do everything from scratch, then save
    the file/web page to get it to work. It seems like unless a new
    Flash Movie (SWF) is built, none of the changes stick. I have not
    been able to confirm this. I WISH A FORUM MODERATOR WOULD LOOK AT
    OUR POSTS. Thank you.

  • Help! Slideshow feature in Elements 13 not working properly: Won't sync photos to music

    Hi. I'm a photographer who recently updated my Photoshop Elements 11 to the new and "improved" 13. I upgraded specifically for the new advertised slideshow feature. I make these as a fun way to share Wedding Sneak Peeks with my Brides. But when I add photos to the slideshow and add a custom song, then click "Sync photos to music" a box pops up telling me it's working but then nothing ever happens. I can't even click back or cancel the operation. It freezes the entire program and forces me to shut down my computer. Please help! Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug within the program?

    I've also tried the following:
    - rebuilding iPhoto's Library
    - deleting the "iPod Photo Cache"
    - resetting the sync history
    ... and this all didn't help at all.

  • Help with photo slideshow feature

    Hi there
    I'm currently going through a redesign of my site from the antique-word to th enew iweb version. I'm still on a free server so when any page loads up, an advert will load up at the top of each page. Not a problem on the homepage, but its has a consequence on the slideshow feature when opening up an enlarged image. Take a look at my site:
    http://www.turboboost.netfirms.com/mac/index2.html
    .....going to the silverstone page and click on any of the images. You'll notice that the enlarge image loads up, but I can't scroll down to get to the buttons at the bottom.
    Any help, thanks

    Did exactly what you said. Opened up a new script
    editor, pasted the line in. Pressed the run button it
    came back saying this:
    File path:to:non Mac SS Enhancement.app: wasn't
    found.
    That because you didn't replace path:to the actual path of non Mac SS Enhancement.app (where you put it)
    It was in my previous post.
    Thought that was odd, so I renamed the app file, and
    did the same with your script and still did the same
    thing. Shoulr it matter where the app file is located
    on my drive.
    The original script stops at the the third line
    down:
    if (bkgnd_style as string) contains "on run" then
    You lost me here, how did you get to there?
    --> if (bkgnd_style as string) contains "on run" then
    did you run non Mac SS Enhancement.app from Script Editor?
    that won't work, the app has to be launched by itself or from another script, and not from Script Editor.

    You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.

  • What happened to Slideshows from the finder?

    What happened to Slideshows from the finder? Now yo have to hold down option to switch from Quickview to Slideshow in the Finder menu-- and then in the slideshow itself, it doesn't fade from picture to picture like it used to. Anyone else notice this? It just jumps to the next pic with no transition.
