Hi Reg, It might help to know your reason/requirement.
If it's just to be able to view with one open "double-click" then, as you say, Preview will open them as a batch and you can cycle through them - similarly slide-shows etc - but you say you don't want to do that. If it's just that you want to be able to archive/move/copy/ distribute all the photos as one file/entity then why not use a .dmg disc image - when unmounted it's one file - when you mount it all your original images are available - you can even password protect it, if you want ;) If you think you might want to add a few more files, make it a sparse image which will grow to accommodate added contents. If you want to keep the images easily accessible and you have them in a folder on the disc image you can add the folder to your finder toolbar or sidebar and selecting it will automatically mount the disk image (or prompt for the password, if applicable) - saves you the step of finding the .dmg file and mounting it. I use this for some collections of photos and find it works well. Hope that helps. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
