A quick note that as of the posting date, there are a handful of plugins not yet available for the Creative Suite CS4 applications.

Illustrator File Previews: SneakPeek Pro QuickLook Plugin For Mac OS X

SneakPeek Pro is a QuickLook plugin fro Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”). In a nutshell, it extends file previews in both QuickLook and the Finder to previously unsupported file types such as Adobe Illustrator .ai files and EPS files.

If you aren’t familiar with QuickLook, it’s a pretty awesome new feature of 10.5 which allows you to quickly preview a good number of core file types — PDF, JPG, PSD, Word docs, movies, text files and more — without actually opening an application. One just needs to tap the spacebar with a file highlighted in the Finder, and a floating bezel-type window opens up with the full image, document or movie. Even works with multi-page documents as well. It’s just plain awesome.
