This is ridiculous.

If you don't have enough space to show paging arrows, you certainly don't have enough space to view the content.

Let's not even talk about the uneven alignment of the arrows.

There are two things that could be happening here:

1) I'm getting old and cranky and like to complain about details.

2) The designers who are doing this stuff don't actually work with media files on the Mac.

I’m going with #2.

@chockenberry

I think UI design is slowly dying/devolving.

We've come a long way from Jobs and Atkinson waxing poetic about rounded rects, and many things are less usable now than forty years ago.

@RL_Dane @chockenberry they’re also a lot more complex, to be fair. The Mac and the iPhone originally didn’t *do* that many things, so they could afford to be brilliantly simple.
@chockenberry The other day I accidentally played a movie in the icon. These interactive icons were a fun idea but I’m not convinced they were ever a good idea? I’m surprised it’s still a feature.

@robotspacer icons aren’t big enough to reasonably preview content beyond its use as a thumbnail. Just… use quick look.

Team it was never a good idea.

@chockenberry It was one of those things that looked really cool when showing off OS X & its capabilities back in the day but completely unusable unless you're using 128x128 icons. Which, hey, some people may need but then they're probably not cycling through PDFs that way.
@chockenberry this shit didnt use to be a problem before they broke it recently, its so annoying
@chockenberry Weird; this doesn't happen on my Mac. If there's no room for the arrows, they don't appear at all.
