brendn asked: You said "mac loses major points in previews for not letting you arrow through a folder correctly". In what context? Preview.app lets you do it just fine. If you mean QuickLook, try using the tab key instead. (For some reason tab/shift-tab have been the standard forward/back in lexicographical ordering, while arrows are standard for spatial navigation.

ah, you’re right. i did mean quicklook. jeeze, i don’t think i’ve ever called it that once.

i would have never thought to use the tab key, though. (and probably will never get used to it) so good to know! but i still think the windows preview handles the arrow keys better than quicklook.
