.eps file indexing / preview program ?

Post by Pilotfromdk »

Hi all

I now have a few .eps files on my harddrive. Some found on the net and other I've made from VCP and Aspire :D
For my pictures I use ACDSee for indexing and previewing the files, but it don't work with .eps files :(

Do any of you know of a freeware program that i can use for indexing and for preview thumbnail pictures of my .eps files and maybe other files used in VCP and Aspire

hi

the *.eps files are mixed... vector, bitmap and fonts...
there's no viewer for exactly... any program, which one can read them, must to recognize those three separated things.... even the fonts are looking vector, they have slightly different description like as vectorimages has...
the best is if you organize your stuff, and you know what you want to use... some desktoppublishing program like adobe cs, or coreldraw can handle these files correctly...


ps: i have checked your site... good looking signs... i like best your dusthood on your router..

Hey Pilot, I've never liked the Windows File Manager, A few years back I've found a program called Servant Salamander, and like it enough to purchase it. It's been so long since I've used the free version I can't remember if it allows one to view the eps files or not.

While viewing in Thumbnail mode, I can view all of the regular image file formats like jpg, gif,and bmp. It also has a plugin that allows me to view a thumbnail of DWG, DXF, and (vector)EPS files. I've attached a screen shot a directory of the Aspires sample files. And shows the thumbnail and the file name below it.

Hi Borge

First, for a free option take a look at this post http://www.vectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=796

Also my favourite viewer ST Thumbnails Explorer which is not free but worth the money IMHO can be found here; http://www.softfields.com/

Irfan view is another free program that will show vector files with a plugin.
I use the thumbnails portion to make printouts of the graphics I have available.

I also use the IRFAN viewer with the plugin. I like it because it's fast and easy to use and free!
