Preview - Next/Previous active for single item

Submitted by iHateAurora on May 17, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

If you have a single item open in preview the next/previous buttons are still active and clickable. This is counter-intuitive because it hints that there are next and previous items.

In Safari (and other browsers) the next and previous buttons are only active when appropriate.

I believe they should be greyed out according to the following rules:

[1] Single item - both buttons greyed out
[2] First item - previous button greyed out
[3] Last item - next button greyed out

I think they shouldn't be grayed-out. Instead, it's better if Preview would automatically load next/previous item in the same folder when you press those arrows.
