Pasted below are two scripts you can use to maximize and minimize your windows in order to make the most out of coverflow. This is for a 15" macbook pro so you will probably have to edit some of the parameters. I activate the scripts through quicksilver.
They simply take your current window, switch it to maximum size, and make it coverflow. The second one will make the window smaller and switch it to column view.
My biggest wish is that someone would develop something similar to the option-command-I window in finder, that I could also use to quickly view/edit tags, as well as an additional area to enter a description of individual files. Too bad OS X makes a lot of that spotlight metadata so inaccessible.
I'd love to hear if anyone actually finds this useful or knows of other little tricks to improve the leopard experience.
maximize:
tell application "Finder"
activate
select Finder window 1
set window 1's position to {0, 44}
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {0, 44, 1440, 900}
set current view of Finder window 1 to flow view
end tell
minimize:
tell application "Finder"
activate
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {143, 164, 1236, 632}
set position of Finder window 1 to {143, 164}
set current view of Finder window 1 to column view
end tell
