I have a couple thumbnail viewers for raster formats (Irfanview, Photoelf) where I can see thumbnails of an entire folders worth of images.
Does anyone know of something similar for vector file formats (.ai, .cdr, .eps, dxr, etc.)???
Thanks in advance!

Fayette,
That's a great question. I was a Office Depot yesterday looking for the same thing. They had nothing to help.
I can't answer your question, but would love to hear from someone who can.

Y'all might try Extensis Portfolio. It reads raster and vector. They have a free 30 trial here: http://www.extensis.com

AcD-see, or however it is spelt, shows you EPS & WMF thumbnails (or at least the version we have does-) it came free with a computer magazine I bought last year & I reckon it beats every other viewer including Windows XP. It won't do AI or CDR though, & I haven't tried Portfolio. I seem to remember a post in the last few months about a free (?) utility for Corel which catalogued its own directory of clipart. (or maybe my memory is bad, & it was a third party item & cost something)

Thanks,Jack- have you tried it?

Thanks all for the response.
Romcat seems especially written for CorelDraw's .cdr, .cdt, .cmx and .pat file formats, and is a freeby too, I'll be able to make some use of this little program.
Extenis Portfolio is a 45meg download for their free trail ($199.95 to buy), I'm on a dial up connection so I'll try to get it going tonight before I hit the sack.
The ACDSee is pretty much another raster viewer, you get a trail version and at $50.00 I'll probaly pass on it.
Irfanview lets me see only some .eps files so my question now is are there different versions/types of .eps formats?
Again, thank you.

in windows you can set your folder to display thumbnails
goto properties and set the thumbnail option.
