How can I see the contents of a file on my Mac without opening the folder where the folder contains pictures. In the PC you get a preview of 4 pictures.?

Mac OS X does not have the thumbnail option that gives you the four picture preview found in the Windows operating system. To view the contents of the folder one could: Drag the folder to the right hand end of the Dock and click on it. Open a Finder Window and navigate to the folder. Using the Cover Flow option presents a pane at the top of the window from which you can scroll through the folder's contents. If am item is a movie point the mouse towards the middle of the image and you can play the movie within the Cover Flow pane. Using the Column view option will show the contents in a separate column. In either option hitting the space bar as you scroll through the list will give you a Quick Look preview of the item. Having said that... Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) does have an x-ray feature which reveals the contents of a folder when you select it and press the space bar for a Quick Look preview. This is switched off by default so needs to be activated by entering the command.... defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableXRayFolders 1 into the Terminal (found in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder). If you are not comfortable dealing with the Terminal the Onyx software (See links below) provides a tick box to switch on the x-ray feature. This is found by clicking the Parameters button at the top and then the Finder tab, tick the "Show the folder content previews in Quick Look" box.
