    **...

    PEKIYASIMDI  It is not good for me. When you look a document (whatever it is: eps, fh, indd or ai), it does what it is expected. But when you want to look another document it shows inside of the first document you look. :(

    BEIGE  Stop whining about the price - this thing is actually quite useful and worth it for my magazine. I can see what spot plates and fonts are in our Indesign files with a full preview - in the desktop.

    STORMCHILD  I wouldn't say that the work that went into this isn't worth $20, but it's pretty annoying that QuickLook doesn't support .ai files without a plugin, since the entire OS X display system is PDF-based.

    A better solution, going forward, would be to save Illustrator documents in "Illustrator PDF" format, which should display in QuickLook with no plugin.

    They did do a decent job on the plugin, but I'm really not looking for lists of colors used in the document and things like that -- I just want QuickLook to display .ai files the same way as any other image file format (other than gradient meshes, which are apparently never going to display correctly in non-Adobe software -- unless those are part of the PDF standard that Adobe just submitted to the ISO).

    The clincher is that this plugin does not understand layer visibility, so all the layers I have turned off show up in the preview. This makes it borderline useless.

    GCOGHILL  It might be $20, but it not only does what it says, it has a lot of great features beyond just a preview.

    $10 and I would have already bought it, but I find more and more that it would be really handy after demoing this and might bite the bullet anyways.

    MACUPDATE ADMIN  Maybe Adobe would provide it for free... if they made such a thing. This SneakPeek software is made by another developer.

    GANNET  That's not the point though. Why the heck would you pay for this? It even tags its own spam on the bottom of the quicklook window.

    MACUPDATE ADMIN  Well, one poster remarked that Adobe should make this available for free, when Adobe does not make it. So that was the point.

    And, as for myself, would I pay for this? No.

    FRIDGE  I guess it all depends on what it is worth to you. If you adopted Quicklook in your workflow and have tons of InDesign documents maybe the steep price for a Quicklook plugin is worth it? — at least until there is a free option! On the other hand, there are free workarounds for for Illustrator and EPS files. I found this site, http://hrmpf.com/wordpress/218/quick-look-plugins-for-leopard
