QuickLook Plugins


My favorite feature of Apples new operating system Leopard is Quicklook. From the finder I can preview just about any file without opening it. Simply pressing the spacebar will open a preview of the file for review. Unfortunately the default installation doesn't work with Illustrator, InDesign, or eps files. I have found a few solutions.

The first is called SneakPeek Pro. The product does cost $15, but it lets you use quickview to open Illustrator, InDesign, and eps files.

If spending money is not your thing. Here are a few links for free plugins to quicklook.

To install them put the files in User/Library/QuickLook (you may have to create a folder called "QuickLook".

IF $15 is too rich for your blood, here are some links to free QuickLook Plugins.
