As someone who just started using os/x I can say there's a big difference :) The preview tool is quick and easy, and allows you to see a document almost immediately on even a slower machine. I've only really seen it in use with pdfs and images, but the difference of starting up "preview" and starting OOo, Word, or photoshop are marked. Also, with a single tool used for viewing all sorts of different document types instead of several different programs, it is cached so there is less lag of loading programs into memory. > > I'm not a hacker, so I only can make the proposal for such an > > application and can help testing.

Aren't the plugins going away with the 2.6 spatial nautilus? -- Alan <alan@xxxxxxxxx> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.
