Trick: put it in the window toolbar, so it doesn't have to run all the time, if you don't use it permanently.
(and compared to the price of Leopard, no competition! ;-D)

Being at the Leopard premier and standing in line outside the store for two hours was one of the BEST THINGS I'VE EVER DONE.

1. After you've viewed a file with MilkyWay, you can't delete it unless you either use a SUDO deletion process, use TrashIt, logout or restart. Apparently MilkyWay doesn't properly release a file after displaying it.
2. There's no way to control the file types MilkyWay displays; it seems to show anything that QuickTime is capable of. I definitely don't want to view PDFs with MilkyWay, for example, but there's no way to stop it.
Also, it would be very handy to have an option to not display a file when you click on it. For example: Command-Click to view, or Command-click to just touch the file without viewing it.
Good start to a nice thought, though!

This not to criticize, but only to offer a solution to the weird problem.

QuickImageCM, a very useful 2D viewer. Free and available on MacUpdate.
As a CM it operates in background, right mouse click brings popup screen to launch viewer on selected image files.
For example, it handles:
1. multiple pdf files, showing 1st page of each. Highlight all or only the files you want to review.
2. can save image files in different formats. I use jpeg to psd frequently
3. has basic image handling and image effects, keyboard shortcuts (eg trash)

Just try this on a folder with 100+ pdf files with cryptic names...
Nice work...and free!!!
