Mac 101: see iCal events in Cover Flow

Is there a way to sort this by calendar, or to have it display the results of only one calendar or to exclude some calendars?

Hmmm...doesn't work for me.

Since no-one has mentioned it I suppose you all know that kind:mail does the same trick for mail messages? With a more refined search this might actually be useful for scanning through messages.

Hey Cory,

is it just a matter of coincidence that this post and your post about fine tuning the volume in Leopard are both from the same Help Desk in this months issue of Macworld (May 2008)?

To save you a few more posts, here are the rests of the tips:

-In Photobooth, you can hold the option key and press the snapshot button and not have the countdown.
-Also in Photobooth you can export the multiple shots taken in the 4 rapid shots option into an animated gif that you can use as your AIM icon (as long as the client allows animated gifs to be used).
-You can organize mail's folders on the sidebar by clicking on them and dragging them to a new position
-In iCal, you can edit information on events by clicking on them once with the mouse or use the arrow keys and then hit enter to edit data, rather than double clicking.
-You can change the terminal message with ease by reading: macworld.com/3396
-You can use quicklook form the terminal by reading: macworld.com/3397

Frankly --- I really don't care how much eye candy they throw into iCal. Rather they need to start improving the core functionality of that product -- things like syncing, meeting invites, etc. either don't exist or don't work well enough for everyday use.

This is a classic example of style over function to the detriment of users.

Doesn't work for me on 10.5.2. The checkbox to index iCal events is set, but nothing happens.

I'm on a german OS X. Any ideas?

I use this feature by using an alias folder for a particular calendar (~/library/Calendars/02CD023......). It works well if you only need to review a single calendar in iCal. This also works well for inbox mail folders (~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.....).

I never realized you could use coverflow for all of your hard drive files. Great for hunting a JPEG in a huge folder of pictures.

Couldn't you do a saved search, for "today" and "kind:ical" and browse your current events this way?

but the events aren't chronological, but by "last opened" date.
