Quick Look - Making it Easier

This new Quick Look just did not "work" for me. This is my "normal" window:

Clicking on the Quick Look button left me with little room to see the files inside a folder:

If I really wanted to see what the documents inside a folder looked like, it meant moving the window to the upper left corner of the screen then dragging the lower right corner of each window. While it is possible to use the green button in the upper left corner of each window, that works best if the window was aligned in the upper right corner of the screen. In my work environment, that space is occupied by my Mail window. I need to keep a close eye on incoming messages to some of my mailboxes.

While I was on a recent MacMania InSight cruise, I attended a wonderful session with Sal Soghoian, the Apple Inc. AppleScript and Automator Product Manager. He told us about a wonderful little AppleScript that has can be placed in the toolbar of Finder windows.

The AppleScript has been bundled into an application, Browse Full Screen. It can be downloaded here. Be sure to read the web page to learn where to place it and how to add it to your Finder Window toolbars.
