Pulp To Pixels

I love Leop­ard, being a Mac geek and all. One thing which frus­trated me was the inabil­ity of Quick­Look (QL) to view stan­dard Adobe file types such as Illus­tra­tor files. I am sure Adobe will release QL plu­g­ins with com­pat­i­bil­ity updates in ’08, but what to do in the interim? Luck­ily Apple built QL to use a plu­gin archi­tec­ture, allow­ing some gen­er­ous indi­vid­u­als to fill the void in the mean time.

I found two great site, via TUAW, track­ing QL plu­g­ins. Of spe­cial note to design­ers is the avail­abil­ity of an .ai and an .eps QL plugin.
