It's a pity that MacUpdate does not allow paragraphs these days. The above comment was much better formatted before I posted it.

I'm just the kind of person to buy Peek. $11 CAD seems a bit much considering the limitations:
"Due to system limitations, Peek is unable to work with plain text documents (.txt, .text), rich text (.rtf, .rtfd), HTML/XML/web archives (.html, .xml***, .webarchive), TypeScript (.ts), Adobe suite (.pdf, .eps***), Microsoft Office (.csv, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx), OpenDocument suite (.odt, .ods, .odp), nor any Apple iWork documents (.pages, .numbers, .key)."
What's especially irritating is the price is sometimes 99¢, sometimes $2.99 and now $7.99. Please make up your mind, Big Z development. Not sure I like this kind of utility in the App store, exclusively. It's a core improvement and I hate to depend on Apple's goodwill for its function. I'll probably install two or three open source alternatives to keep independence. If Peek does come back at least to the $2.99, I'd certainly give it a spin. I may give up and pay the full tariff someday.

The list of file types with which Peek does NOT work, which includes pretty much every common file type, needs to be supplemented with a list of file types with which it DOES work.
