vkeios posted:Xee is pretty good and its got a major overhaul thats not quite in the App Store yet. And as long as you also install TheUnarchiver (also free) you can browse archives of pictures too. As far as I am concerned, Xee is perfect as a viewer once you play with some of the keyboard shortcut (make delete delete etc). It's not Irfanview, but using a Mac always means there are some programs that are just better over there.

Jump ship to chrome, I found safari with under ten tabs laggy on a brand new iMac. Now I can have as many as I want, little lag. Safari used to be a good browser, not sure what they did to it.

Preview is great for like...one picture You can also do Quicklook - select an image, hit the space bar and then use the up/down arrow keys. Not fancy, but does the job in a pinch.

This might be a bit of a silly question, but what exactly can I do with Alfred that I can't do with Spotlight? Besides the workflows, of course.

For the purpose of launching apps the benefit of apps like Alfred are that they're much faster than Spotlight. You can also do things like Google and Wikipedia searches, control iTunes, function as a calculator, and a bunch of other stuff that I can never remember.

Safari used to be a good browser, not sure what they did to it. Rebooted and now it's fine. Didn't take a real good look at Activity monitor before I restarted so I'm not sure if something else was going crazy but my CPU wasn't being pegged. Adding to my frustration I just noticed that the letter keys don't repeat when you hold them down? Apparently it's been like this since Lion but I didn't notice it until now.

Can anyone recommend a free backup software that can keep my files in sync with a external hard drive every time I plug it in? I don't really want to use time machine. Although time machine may be the easiest choice.

I'm just trying to understand what needs to be different about the free software to distinguish it from Time Machine.

I'm not a fan of having multiple backups of my files. I just need my files to stay in sync with the drive. Bob Morales posted:rsync will do the job I'll probably use this.

Wario In Real Life posted:That's not bad, although I still wish it had directory nav by default. If I open an image in a folder with other images then it should have little arrows for thumbing through all the other images in that directory. This is probably something I got used to in Windows years ago, but it still would be nice to have now.

I have a few albums which have been split up by iTunes. Some googling indicates that they're due to the artist field being different - but the artist field is supposed to be different since the album had more than one artist. Is there any way to put them back together without making them all the same artist?

Is there any way to put them back together without making them all the same artist? Either mark them as Compilations or set an Album Artist (usually the primary artist); both can be done from that Get Info window.
