preachrman007 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I would like to add a request for a new behavior for clicking on photos in tools. The current method, with the photo appearing in a new Zone or Tab, results in a picture that is far too small to see with any detail. With the way my workspace is set up, even zooming in on the picture only allows me to see a small bit that is visible in that current zone. For instance: This set-up is acceptable, but not ideal in my opinion. What I end up doing is detaching the tab so it's one big window, then I can see it at something approaching full-screen. What I would like is an option for photos to be loaded in a separate window.. What I am envisioning is a kind of "pop-up", similar to OS X's Quick Look. This would allow me to take a look at the image quickly and then I could go back to the tool if I want to copy, print, etc. If a pop-up window is not possible, I would like to see an option in the Preferences that makes the default for opening photos to be in a new window. I know I can't be the only Accordance user with bad eyes and I love incorporating photos into my sermon slideshows. Any changes that make this a little easier would be appreciated.

Helen Brown Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We have a new feature up our sleeve which may help with this, but for now I suggest right-click on the photo tab and selecting Detach tab. Resize and keep that separate workspace open and it will recycle each time you click on a photo thumbnail. I am now testing a wonderful resource of historic photos that we are about to release, and this works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preachrman007 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks. I've been testing that work-around and it works well for viewing a lot of pictures in a row. I'm still holding out hope for the new feature you mentioned, though. Thanks again for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preachrman007 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 This might be a new feature request, but seeing as it still has to do with Photo Behavior, I thought I'd add a reply to my thread. As I stated above, I love using the PhotoGuide for my sermon presentations. However, the current right-click options of "Copy Photo" and "Print" aren't quite fitting my workflow. What I like to do is go through Accordance, the internet, etc and find a bunch of pictures for my Keynote presentations. I dump them all in a folder on my Dock until I'm ready to build the presentation. That way, if I encounter something early in my research that I know just HAS to be included, I can toss it in the folder until I'm ready to work with it. Those current right-click options don't allow me to do this with Accordance as I do with web images. I am unable to Copy a picture in Accordance and Paste it to a folder, it has to be pasted into a document. What I would like to be able to do is drag and drop from Accordance to a folder just like I can a picture on a website. (By the way, I'm going to apologize in advance. Now that I've made Accordance such a HUGE part of my weekly work, I'll probably be posting a lot more feature requests. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much the same as with iPhoto if you just click and hold on a photo in Photoguide for a few seconds and then drag it to an open folder the full sized photo will appear in the folder as a photo clipping. You need to double click the photo clipping and drag it to reveal the full size of the photo. This works on my OS X 10.5.8 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess since that "hold" isn't the normal behavior for OS X, (on iPhoto, I can just drag immediately, no need to hold) it never occurred to me to try. Thanks! EDIT: Actually, I now see what the issue is. The thumbnails are dragabble (and apparently instantly so, I'm not having to hold now) but I'd been trying on the full-size picture. Just a quick Copy and Paste comparison seems to show that the thumbnails are full (or at least high-)resolution, so this works great. Thanks again.
