In addition to the new Stacks feature, Mojave’s Finder also has a new Gallery View that makes it easier to view and work with a lot of files at once. To use Gallery View, open a Finder window and click the View button in the toolbar. Then click the Gallery View button in the toolbar (it looks like four squares in a grid).
If you’re working with images, you’ll see a preview of each image in the Finder window. You can change the size of the thumbnails using the slider at the bottom of the window. You can also use the toolbar buttons to sort the images by name, date, or size.
To work with a file in Gallery View, double-click it to open it in Preview. From there, you can edit the image, share it, or mark it up. To quickly preview a file without opening it in Preview, press the spacebar. To close the preview, press the spacebar again.
You can also use Gallery View to work with files that aren’t images. For example, if you’re working with a document, you’ll see a preview of the first page of the document. You can use the toolbar buttons to sort the documents by name, date, or size.
To work with a file in Gallery View, double-click it to open it in the appropriate application. For example, double-clicking a Pages document will open it in Pages.
