Quick Look at Multiple Files Simultaneously
Posted by Gina Trapani at 11:00 AM on December 6, 2007
Mac OS X Leopard only: You already know about Leopard's useful Quick Look feature, which previews any kind of document with a tap of the Spacebar. (Go ahead, select a file in Finder and hit the Spacebar to see its contents immediately, no application launching required.) Well, you can also preview several files at once with Quick Look. Just select multiple documents in Finder and hit that Spacebar. You'll get an "Index Sheet" button when you mouse over the Quick Look popup—click on that to see a grid of files. You can also go full screen with Quick Look previews, play videos, read PDF's, see the contents of Office files, and use the arrow keys to see the next and previous files in the list with Quick Look.

You used to be able to hit the i key and get the grid, before Leopard. I want that back. Love the grid.

you could do that with the previous version with an app, or just press the center ball on the mouse. I would like to see something like this for PC users though.

@henya: Try holding shift when you minimize a window. Or better yet, have a bunch of windows open in an application, and hold shift + option and click the minimize button on any one window.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but it is kind of fun to hold down shift and click a folder of documents or pictures on your dock...
