Preview Unreliable
Hi,
I have found Preview to be unreliable when viewing a large (>20) number of jpegs. It confuses some of the thumbnails, and then quits either when loading or flicking through the images. I'm running this on 10.2.6 on a 12"pb and 640Mb RAM. Any ideas? If I need to, can I easily just reinstall preview?
Thanks,
David

To test, I took some high res desktops from macdesktop.com and vaious jpegs and gifs from sites like appleinsider, yahoo..., and opened up many duplicates of some, and then a variety, and moved through them rapidly, sometimes going back on myself - solid as a rock.
At least I have now found something that classic can do better - deal with flaky jpegs!

When Norton's screwed over my system so that X couldn't mount my drives, 9 could.
Several times, after there has been a power outage or I have done a hard restart, I end up with a drive which OS X will not mount. If I restart in 9, the drive will mount. After that it will mount fine in OS X. This makes me nervous about upgrading to a machine that will not dual boot. I hope Panther is a little more robust.
