Try this: a slideshow from Spotlight!!
Authored by: Deut3221 on May 17, '05 05:11:00PM

I followed the URL to learn how to batch apply keywords using iView. I choose a few files and applied a keyword tag, and then searched in Spotlight. Presto, there were the files.

Here's what you must try:
1) open Spotlight using Option, Command, Spacebar (not sure what you call this view);
2) type in the keyword that you tagged the images with;
3) the images should appear in Spotlight under the heading "images";
4) notice that in the heading "images" there is a small triangular arrow on the far right hand side of the header; click this arrow;
5) viola! a slideshow begins with the images that Spotlight identified according to your keyword.

Cool!!!

spotlight isn't indexing encrypted volumes
Authored by: pumasalad on May 18, '05 01:41:06AM

anyone know why spotlight doesn't pick up the keywords from an encrypted volume? even tho the volume is open, it doesn't appear to keep any spotlight indexing... I use iview to put keywords in about 120,000 photos but spotlight won't do the search as outlined above for keywords, it will only search on file name and date info.
