Ctrl + Shift + 3 reversed a folder of photos??
Hi Bob — That’s interesting, is that what it did for you? It definitely brings up the photo detail for me, and looking at the Keyboard shortcut page for Picasa, shows that the photo detail is the right action. In fact, it looks like the SHIFT is superfluous.
Thanks for swinging by!
