No More "Loop" function in Preview Slideshow

What happened? Tiger would continuously loop my slideshow for demos I did at various shows. The function vanished with Leopard. Why did Apple eliminate such a useful function?

Mac OS X (10.5.1)

It specifically says that its for Tiger.


Works perfectly in Leopard.

Why should I need a 3rd party app in Leopard when I didn't need it in Tiger?


Well, you already know the answer to that question. 🙂 'Cause Preview doesn't loop like you want it to. Maybe Apple will fix it, but until they do.....

And as previously pointed out, iPhoto will loop also.

I actually like Just Looking better than Preview for quick image display.

If you don't want to use iPhoto, you don't actually need any program at all to see a continuous simple slideshow. Just select the photos you want in the Finder, control click and select "Quick Look" from the contextual menu, then click the diagonal facing arrows to enter full screen and watch the slideshow indefinitely.
