iPhoto Mini

It would be cool if you could do something with this similar to the myPhoto widget (which I cant seem to find online anymore but luckily I still have it installed). With this widget you could see a random picture from your iPhoto library each time dashboard was activated. It would be cool if you could expand on this by making the picture open full size in iPhoto if you clicked on it, or something like that. Good start anyways! Thanks for the widget!

WORKS AS DESCRIBED Many thanks for this useful tool.

I like this Widget, but looking forward to 2 updates. 1. Slide Show 2. Black or transparent Background. landscape to portrait leaves a large grey area.

Sadly it doesn't work no more wth iPhoto '08!

This is one of my favorite widgets. I enjoy seeing a random picture from my album(s) on the dashboard. It's also got some cool and useful features like being able to open the picture in multiple apps, moving foreward and backward through the album, making the picture a desktop picture, being able to resize the window, and one-click access to iphoto. I believe you can also open pictures from other apps in it. All in a simple and attractive package. Great work!

To the previous reviewer: I like being able to pop into dashboard and see a random photo from the past. I have over 5500 photos, so its cool to see an old photo that I forgot about and sort of rediscover it. Anyways that is why i find this widget useful. It does not replace iPhoto, its purpose for me is more to act as a mini slideshow. This version fixes all of the bugs from the previous version so I'm giving it five out of five.

I would love a small feature which allows to show the displayed picture in Finder, in order to copy it somewhere or such. In Apps like Preview I would have to save a copy to do this (not to mention, launch Preview for it).

This is such a cool widget, that I had to write it up at my blog: http://expat-leo.blogspot.com/2006/02/geek-iphoto-widget-12.html Tip. For Custom, highlight the App you want and Cmd-C copy to get the exact name.. The widget seems to use a 'tell' to run the app much the same way iPhoto does. And yes, I was looking for the resize feature as well. Now we have it. Nirvana.

You added my random picture idea! Thanks! Any chance it might be resizable in the future? Thanks for the great widget.
