Perfect way to search for some great wallpaper.

Also love the details drawer for image info and the nav drawer for quick access to past images.

An excellent user guide pdf doc as well.

Great app - worked fine under 10.2.6. Since upgrading to 10.2.8 (6R73 combo) I keep getting an error and the application is forced to quit. Reinstallation doesn't fix the problem, neither does deleting the .plist or the preferences file. Come to think of it 10.2.8 has broken a load of other stuff as well (e.g. VPC 6.1) - Thanks Apple.
