People not forced to use 1D arrangements do not find it sensible that their 2D organization is suddenly flattened to 1D by a random developer who decided against it, just because he wanted to manage a 1D array to record file entries in a directory. Second : you describe your expected behaviour based on something that was decided by developers of Windows and that you had to learn as "this is the way computers work". Note that lots of work is now done in AI for the computer to better understand natural human organization which happens to work in 2D if not 3D. Let me know if I can help with anything else.įirst : my icons are neatly organized in a 2D grid, that fortunately the Finder knows how to interpret. Also notice the toolbar contains ‘markup’ tools, a rotation tool and a ‘share sheet’ with a number of other commands. Pressing Command-Delete while a file(s) is selected in the Finder will send it to the Trash.īonus! If you select all the images and then press the spacebar click on the toolbar control that looks like four squares to see a thumbnail view. Continue until you have viewed all the images. When you encounter one you don’t like, press Command-Delete keys to send it to the trash. Use the Arrow keys to navigate (jump) from image to image. This will open up a preview mode called ‘Quick Look’ (this ‘press spacebar to view a preview’ works for many file types and inside many apps like Mail, Messages, etc.). I’m sure people going from a Mac to Windows have the same complaint though.Īnyway, open the folder with the images you want to view, select the first image and press the spacebar. Yes, it’s slightly different on the Mac because it’s a Mac not Windows. Once there, you use the down arrow to move to Row 3 Picture 1, then right, then down, then left, then down, then right, and so on until you just can't stand it anymore.Īlso, on windows, if I don't like the picture I click the delete key on the keyboard and it's gone. You instead have to use your down arrow to go to Row 2 Picture 5, then use the left arrow to move backwards to Row 2 Picture 1. Common sense tells you it would move to Row 2 Picture 1, but that's not what happens. If your Finder is sized to where you have 5 rows of 5 pictures and start at the top left picture (Row 1 Picture 1), the right arrow will move you across that row all the way to picture #5, then it will stop working. If you stay in icon view, then the arrows are literally moving to how you see them on the screen. The "best" thing you can do is switch from icon view to list view, select your first image, press the space bar, then use the up and down arrows to navigate through pictures. This is the better way to do it, but it is still very limited, especially if you have Finder in icon view. I read that no, you have to use the space bar to open, and then it works with arrows, I think this worked before but not working for me now despite many tries. I switched from Windows to Mac 14 years ago and it's still frustrating to me that you can't properly navigate through pictures. Why is simply scrolling through images so hard on mac os?
