Tiling preview software for mac?

Hi,

Is there a free mac application for viewing my home made seamless textures?

I know the traditional method with Photoshop (make texture -> define pattern -> paint bucket with pattern mode) but I would prefer a small app instead.

Cheers,
Mats

Well, free . . .

I have Photoshop CS3...

I have used tiny freeware for this purpose many years ago but I was on PC then. There were tiny apps just for checking the tileing. Must be some for mac also...I hope...

Otherwise I go for the pattern method in CS3...
not the biggest deal...
