Still a great app, always one of my first downloads when I set up a new Mac.

As much as I don't want to sound ungrateful, because I'm totally not, I'm going to go into what I'd like out of this app in future. It's an awesome peice of software and when a dev goes to this effort for the good of everyone it's greatly appreciated. I just hope for more improvements to make the app more universally useful.

Firstly this is more a bug, the slideshow speed setting seems locked at 1 second (has been like this for a few revisons), changing the value in preferences doesn't seem to alter the slideshow speed.

Now onto the good stuff.
I run on a 1920x1080 screen, so being able to enable image "scale to fit" in windowed mode would be handy (perhaps with a "do not auto-scale beyond xxx% option) as lower resolution images are quite tiny on my display and I'm often using the program to not only browse photos but images used in development (having +/- zoom control in windowed mode would be nice too). I do work on a linux based cell phone os, typically this involves little buttons, touch screen keyboards, icons etc. all of relatively small resolutions (as would be expected when limited by a pocket sized touch screen). Cocoaslideshow for the most part allows me to quickly flick through these and find the appropriate base item to work on or a revision I'm happy with, but having these auto zoomed in windowed mode would allow detecting differences much faster as by default most of these items take up only a few cm of on screen real estate.

Ability to display animated gifs would also be very handy. It's not a great format I know, but it refuses to die and I'm always needing to work with them. I suspect if that's the case for me, it's the case for others, plus missing support of a relatively common format is always going to stick out like a sore thumb on an app like this.

Once again, great app, and many thanks to the developer, hope my criticism is constructive and not too blunt.

Does not run a PowerPC G5 4 x 2.5 GHz - OS X 10.5.7.
Downloads but the icon (universl circle qith a line thru it) indicates athat it is the wrong version and will not run PowerPC.

Yes it does, at at least it should!

CocoaSlideShow is compiled as a 10.4 Universal application so it should run gracefully on 10.4 / 10.5 and PPC and Intel.

If you do not experience the expected behaviour, please describe what happens. Does it crash? Can you see something in Console.log? What is your machine?

The error message is "Sie können das Programm „CocoaSlideShow_0_5_2“ nicht öffnen, da es nicht auf dieser Architektur unterstützt wird."

ah, macupdate and diacritical characters :-(

The message just says application not supported on this architecture.

It seems that version 0.5.2 doesn't work on several PPC machines.

The binary is actually compiled for both architectures (proof below).

Moreover, I tested version 0.5.2 successfully on a MacMini with PowerPC.

I'll release a new version quite soon and I hope it will fix the problem.

Great app, has been a favorite of mine for ages now, very quickly allows me to work through large folders of images and find what I want.

The one thing I'd love is better integration with Mac OS, so I can drag and drop images listed in the app to other locations, Mail.app etc.

What an excellent idea! I must admit I had never thought of it. I'll try to implement it some day. Best regards, Nicolas

Ok, drag and drop is implemented in 0.5.1. Multiple file drag and drop is still to be implemented.

out of all the image viewers i've tried, this has been my favorite for what i need. the icon is butt ugly and the interface could use some enhancing, but it does the job. also, those rotate icons confuse me. they're different in every other imaging program on the mac and i always accidentally rotate images the wrong way in cocoaslideshow. i'd also like to be able to get info on an image, and maybe even have a little more functionality (crop, straighten). overall, great software.

Generally works ok with my Mac's 10.4.11(no crashing).
Slideshow speed is unstable....regardless of what speed I set, images change at about once every 1/2 second and even faster.
Would be nice if image info could be shown along with image itself.
I much prefer Xee, also free.

Thank you very much for making this great application!

I'm a professional photographer and I've used FFView to quickly look through and edit down a shoot's worth of images but this app is my default now.

I'd love to see the ability to simply move a selected set of images into a new folder rather than only being able to Export (copy the images).

Secondly, I'd love to be able to have the app remember that I've rotated images and display them that way (at least for that one session) after having moved onto another image. And also to be able to select multiple images and perform a rotate function on them at once.

Keep up the great work... with the above features I would gladly be a long-term paying customer.

This is really going the right direction.
Add zoom and iPhoto library support (I wouldn't expect this to be very hard) and it is a killer app.
It would replace Frontrow for me. Very nice!

Drag'nDrop doesn't work. Dropping pics on the icon (whether in the dock or on the desktop) doesn't do anything, doesn't even highlight the icon.
Keep up the good work; very good idea (from the developer of SimpleView, a similar but older application).

You're right. For now CocoaSlideShow only handles *folders* dropping on its icon, not singles files. This will be fixed in the next release.

If you can't wait the next release, you can change the file info.plist inside the bundle for this one : http://seriot.ch/temp/Info.plist.zip, CocoaSlideShow will then open any image file you drop on it.
