Hi Steve,

This may help:

Go to The PainterFactory.

Click the Talk tab at the top of the screen.

Scroll down to the Worker Blogs category and click sp!log to enter Steve Szocei's blog.

At the top, you'll see information and download links to two viewers, one for Painter X in Windows and one for Painter X on Macs.

Also, if you're using WinXP (and even before installing the viewer provided by Steve Szoczei), at the top of any Open dialog, click the last icon on the right to choose the option to view non-RIFF graphics files as Thumbnails. (This also works in Windows Explorer.)

With the Icon Handler for Windows installed, you'll see RIFF file thumbnails as well as JPG, GIF, PSD, and other format files. As the viewer name implies, we can also choose the Icon option to view files as icons... which I never use since Thumbnails works so well and the icons are too tiny to be much use. (This also works in Windows Explorer.)


I'm not a Mac user so unable to give you any information on the Quick Look Plugin viewer, but you can ask Steve Szoczei or another Mac user how it works.
