I knew once I took the leap and got over the first shock of things "different" I'd like it. . _________________________

MacGizmo What? Registered: 04/03/02 Posts: 18870 Loc: Arizona	I should have mentioned that selecting almost any file in the Finder and hitting the space bar will preview the file's contents (text files, images, presentations, etc.) _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.

KateSorensen 77 and counting Registered: 05/19/01 Posts: 3614	. ...Yeah, it is so neat to preview things so quickly when looking for a certain file. I love those kerning ph_uck-ups on your main web page! Funny. . Edited by KateSorensen (12/26/12 08:03 PM) _________________________

Shows Fonts and swatches in document too. I don't remember it being so expensive though… There are a lot of plugins for quick look.

MacGizmo What? Registered: 04/03/02 Posts: 18870 Loc: Arizona	SneakPeek is an awesome little utility. For those who work with a lot of InDesign and Illustrator files, it's well worth the $20 price. _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.

steveg Making a new reply. Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 25783 Loc: D'OHio	I make a PDF of every revision of every ID file in my workflow because I always send a confirming PDF to clients at each stage as part of the review and approval process. So for me, it's not really worth the $20. And, BTW, the space bar shows AI files, too. _________________________
