10.5: Easy full-screen QuickLook 'Index Sheet' view
Authored by: dandj on Feb 02, '09 06:54:22PM

Yes. I have submitted a hint, (not yet published), to scroll though files in full screen Quick Look without using Slideshow mode.

It also allows direct opening of the file you are browsing with Command-O.

Briefly, enter full screen mode from the Finder, Command-Tab back to Safari (yes, Safari), and then click on a Finder window in the background (moving Safari windows out of the way as necessary), not on the Dock Finder icon.

This takes you back to full screen mode and you can scroll up and down with the arrow keys. When you are on a picture you want press Command-O and lo, the file will be opened.

Incidentally, when you are finished doing what ever with your opened file, click back on the Finder (even in the Dock) and you can continue scrolling in full screen where you left off.

I do have a few add-ons on my system but I doubt any of those are providing this finder functionality. Let me know if this works for you.

I have notice this same behavior for some time. I however usually only have a quicklook window open and not in the full screen mode. As if you are opening a file in QL via the spacebar and then use the arrow keys you can navigate the entire folder structure. This seems to work in full screen after you have navigated away from Finder and then back. Although this is a little different than what this hint is talking about (contact sheet view) I agree that it is quite useful.
