As creative, ive to inspect a ton of images, all the time. Instead to launch some fancy application to display Big Thumbnails, i coded a little script who does that job for me in our Finder with the push of a button.
Ways to run this script:
- create a service in Automator and go under System Preferences>Keyboard, assign a shortcut
- download Keyboard maestro or similar software and assign a nice shortcut
set view_switch to false
tell application "Finder"
set win1 to Finder window 1
tell win1
activate
set cuv to current view
if cuv is not icon view then
set current view to icon view
set view_switch to true
end if
if arranged by modification date is false then arranged by modification date
end tell
if view_switch is true then
tell icon view options of win1
#248 == max icon size
if icon size < 248 then
set icon size to 248
if shows item info is false then set shows item info to true #more description yes
#set icon size to 50
end if
set background color to {32768, 32768, 32768} #grey{55225, 45931, 32867} #brown
end tell
else
tell win1 to set current view to column view
end if
end tell
