Mark Alan Thomas Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is there a Quick Look plug-in for OS X which will let me view EI format .img files by tapping the space bar in the Finder and Open/Save dialogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Houtzager Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Not that I know of. That would be sweet. There is an import pluggin for Photoshop btw if you weren't aware http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/product/EIFormat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Alan Thomas Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks for the reply. I wonder how hard it would be to write such a plug-in. Way over my own knowledge level, I fear. I've got the Telegraphics plug-in, and it is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi, you can install EIComponentUB.component in QuickTime Library, then you can see .img file just tapping the space bar. Find it in Telegraphics plug-in as Steven said. You also can find a fantastic script that allow you to export cameras and objects from EIAS to AE and backwards. called 3Dmation_Script. http://www.3dmation.com/ Cheers Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Houtzager Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hey Diego, I also have use that EIComponentUB.component. I have it both in my quicktime library and tried also the quicklook folder. Doesn't preview .img files when I tap on the space bar. I can see the img file when I drag it into quicktime. Wonder why.

Diego Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hola Steven, On my desktop, I can see .img files by taping on the space bar, but not all of them it looks that only .img files generated by PS or AE can be viewed. Would be really great to see all the .img files via space bar in the desk. Very good to save time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Alan Thomas Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 At first this didn't work for me either, but once I did two things — restarted the Finder, and changed my .img file name extensions to .image, it worked. Yay! Thanks, Diego! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic3d Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Mark, How did you change the filename? You mean for all .img files? Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ola Vic, Search a free app in the internet named "rename it" for Mac. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thingmaker Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Still not getting this to work. I downloaded the most recent version of EIComponentUB.component (1.5b2) from www.telegraphics.com.au, put it in the System/Library/Quicktime folder with the other component files, rebooted, changed the name of some image files from xxx.img to xxx.image but still not getting QuickLook to work. I am on the Mac using OS 10.9.2, perhaps I am missing a step? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Alan Thomas Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Try /Library/QuickTime rather than /System/Library/QuickTime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingmaker Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks Mark, I had tried that as well but it wasn't working either. I have noticed that if I try to open an image file in Quicktime 7 everything is what you would expect but if I open an EI9 file in Quicktime X the images are scrambled so I suspect they changed the way QT works in the latest versions of the OS. Is anyone using the latest Mac OS and also able to use QuickLook? Thanks. -Derryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
