For all the Mac folks out there, we have created a Quick Look plugin for viewing Painter files in the finder.
Simply download the plugin from
here [450kB file]. (Link updated Feb 14.08)
Install it and you should be ready to go.
To use it - navigate to a Painter '.rif' file and press the spacebar and you should see a nice preview of your Painter file. This will also allow you to see your Painter files with a nicer preview in Cover Flow mode in Finder Windows.
For more info on Quick Look visit the
Quick Look page at Apple.com.
Enjoy!
