Slideshows showing photos randomly
When I run a slideshow of photos from the Finder (Tiger) they don't run in the normal order - they play a few, then skip some, and maybe play a few in order from there, and so on. they come up the same, all over the place when I bring up the index sheet.
I usually use iPhoto, but it gets a bit frustrating when I want to go through them in order from the Finder. It doesn't matter what the naming's like; even if they're all consecutively named from a digital camera, it happens. I can't see there's any reason, like some being rotated, etc.
Has anyone else noticed this? Are there any settings I can change, or is the only solution for Apple to FTFF?
Thanks

I tried it again, and it happens differently each time, sometimes they're in order, other times completely random, but it only seems to happen when the pictures are on a camera or memory card that's plugged in, not on a local folder.
With one set of pictures, they were all over the place, with just the odd sequence of 2 or 3 in order. Then the next time I plugged it in, they came up fine, except that the first six were all mixed up!! The pictures came up in the same order every time I run a slide show, until I eject. Then after it's plugged in again, they come up in another order.
"Spotlight: How to re-index files and folders
Want to re-index a file or folder?or even an entire volume?for Spotlight (part of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger)? Just do this:
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Spotlight.
Click the Privacy tab.
Drag a file, a folder, or even an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list.
Remove the item or volume you just added.
Spotlight will re-index the contents of the item you initially dragged to the list"
