view preview when opening jpeg

Thanks Natobasso for the reply but the problem does not lie with the finder. I can see a preview of the image in the icon and column modes of finder (but NOT in list mode). as manfred.botz pointed out, its the "open file" dialogue box that's causing the problem.

The use case is that I wish to upload some photos to an online photo album. and when prompted to choose the file, naturally I would like to see which picture I'm uploading. If the preview in the open dialogue is not working (as shown in the file attached in my previous email), I will have to open the finder, preview my images from there, remember which name it is, go back to Safari and find the file I want. Not really the best example of user friendliness :confused:

any idea how i can get feature requests to Apple?
I really would like to have a properly working preview. Some ppl say that using iPhoto to import your pictures would solve the problem but as my case had shown, not all. And since iPhoto is so far behind iTunes in terms of having a clean interface and directory structure (sorry, I'm a harddisk cleanliness freak and I simply cannot comprehend the amount of extra files and folders iPhoto creates), it isn't really the best application for managing pictures.

And of cause the problems I had with Grab...

Can somebody tell me how to save screen captures from Grab in formats other than .tiff? Its really troublesome to have to capture in .tiff and use Preview to export it to jpeg.

Yeah, this one's bugged me for a while now. Sent a feedback request to Apple a few months ago and now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Tiger.

Hi,

I have a problem trying to view previews of web-optimised jpgs when browsing through Internet Explorer 5 on an OS9 Mac. It seems that by optimising the images, other information (preview, caption, etc) is lost. I can still see the previews on a PC, so some information is still there. Any ideas?

Thanks
