I haven't tried this product. When I saw the description on the front page of VT, I was extremely interested. These are all file types I use regularly. However, when I clicked further and discovered the price, I didn't even want to demo it. I know it is easy to think, "Heck, if these folks are willing to pay several hundred dollars for Adobe Apps then $20 bucks should be nothing." Please allow me to remind you that OS X only costs $130 and comes with comes with several hundred features. Even if you divided the price by the 9 headlining features that would be $14.45 which is still too much for your plug-in.
I'm sure you make a nice product but know you are limiting yourself to fewer sales by overshooting your price. I'm proud to support smaller businesses, but I won't drastically overpay for a product. This would be fair at $10.

Does not reliably show Illustrator desktop icons - only when PDF compatible is turned OFF (??) and then only sometimes.
Has worked wonderfully!
Why I don’t want to rain on the parade of this product’s developer, a Quick Look plug-in for Adobe files should have become a standard feature of the Creative Suite by now. The negligence of fundamental features like a Quick Look plug-in along with a handful of quality Automator actions is further evidence of Adobe’s increasing ineptitude.
It’s not that I’ve grown exceptionally tired of Adobe’s incessant decline, it’s that I’ve grown exceptionally tired of Adobe’s incessant decline without the availability of any professional quality alternatives.
While it’s readily apparent that many artists have failed to demand or even require state of the art functionality from their core visual design tools, I’m surprised that there are still no caliber software development companies seizing the huge opportunity that has been created by Adobe’s lazy efforts, efforts which have led to the current line of subpar solutions.
Adobe’s commitment to the substandard quality of cross-platform tools is in Adobe’s best interest alone, not the user’s. Adobe’s approach to Cross-Platform development hampers product stability and functionality, in other words the tools can only be as good as the greatest common factor amongst all targeted platforms. Needless to say the Windows platform, more often than not, holds everyone else back.
The mere inclusion of the Windows paradigm in the development process has many negative influences on product development, some consciously, most unconsciously. These influences end up subjecting Mac users to insidious hindrances like tired metaphors that do not leverage the optimal methodologies made available by digital technologies and their abilities to aid users in achieving desired results.Another example of Adobe’s self-serving interests is their growing efforts to encroach on user experience. Adobe’s Creative Suite implements their third-rate Flash panels instead of directly leveraging the host UI and all of it’s direct advantages.
Would somebody please seize the opportunity and deliver the highest in quality professional imaging tools for the Mac please? Thanks : )
