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?

There is a preference setting that causes the image to be displayed using Exif "orientation value..." BUT, in the slide show a portrait orientated image will automatically rotate to landscape orientation. Rotating the image in the viewer has no effect on how the image is displayed in slide show view.

I have just emailed the developer about this.

I'm just going to use Finder's slideshow function for "looped" slideshows.

It works fine with landscape style pics; obviously portrait pics will be smaller than optimal unless the file is first rotated and saved in another application (e.g. Preview or Iphoto).

I really hope Apple fixes this. It seems like they mess something up with Preview every time they introduce a new OS (or new version of an existing OS).
