View gdl objects in mac's "finder" with a thumbnail picture

Hi

Is it possible in anyway to view the archicad objects in Finder on a Mac computer, with a thumbnail picture of the object?

No. AFAIK, there is only a Windows Explorer plug-in for showing the preview. I don't think it would be a big deal for a Mac QuickView plug-in for GDL objects to be produced (and Snow Leopard would generate an icon from the view - which would just be the preview image), but there isn't one that I know of.

Thanks Karl

I have also searched the internet, and I haven't found anything. Damn...

Haven't been visible the icons in "old" MacOs 9 times?
