Problem with the slideshows...
Authored by: gschueler on May 13, '05 01:47:41PM

I noticed that feature after I installed Tiger. However, it recently STOPPED working for me!!

I can invoke the slideshow in only two ways now: open all the images in preview at once and have it display the slideshow, OR do a Spotlight search for images (not a Finder Cmd-F search) and click the slideshow button on the resulting images.

If I select a bunch of images in the finder and choose the Slideshow contextual menu, nothing happens. If I do a finder search and try to click the slideshow button on the image results group, nothing happens.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I can do the exact same search in finder or spotlight, and only the slideshow from the spotlight results works.

There is no information in the console.

Yea, happened to me once. Just restart Finder and slide show will work again. I logged it in Apple bug reported and it came up as a duplicate report a day later, so I guess they know about this and have a fix in the works.

I too encountered this. I also figured out the reason it happened to my system.

Activating a screen saver on the desktop will disable the Finder's slideshow feature. Quiting and restarting the Finder will fix the problem.
