InDesign Preview For Finder
There really should be an InDesign preview for Mac Finder. This should be a requirement for your software and should not be considered a feature request.
Preview of InDesign documents in Mac Finder and Windows Explorer is available in InDesign version 2023.

So, MacOS 15 has killed inddPreview.app. Now I am left with finder windows only showing generic InDesign Document Icons. Please, please can we fix this.
Photoshop Finder Icons show the file preview
Illustrator Finder Icons show the file previewWhy not InDesign???
Re attached image clearly showing one the left how the Finder looks now and on the right, how the finder should look when inddPreview.app worked.

Well, it's sort of fixed. It only works with spread previews enabled in the settings and the maximum size is 1024, which is kind of ****** these days.

I have no idea why this stated completed? The .indd preview is still not working in the latest version of the app and os?

So very frustrated with InDesign after the updated to 2023 back in December. I am on version 18.1.0.51 and Mac OS version 12.6.2 on an M1 Mac and no matter what I try I cannot get InDesign to save with preview. I've checked the preferences, I've deleted and replaced the preferences, I've seen from this and other posts this is an ongoing issue with many users. PLEASE fi this.

Love that this is fixed now, but would love to suggest a huge improvement on its functionality.
Please enable Quicklook/Preview of files to show the entire spread, rather than just the one page.

Adobe, this is not fixed!

Sorry, this is not fixed. There is an ID logo, not the contents of the page.

Apologies Ravi, but this is not resolved. Please see image below! (and my last post)

So, I got all excited thinking that Adobe Indesign 2023's "Preview InDesign documents" would solve this. I really don't get what they don't understand. Please can you enable this to work with the Finder thumbnails. See attached for how it works now and how it should work (via inddPreview.app purchased from App Store).
I even had the developers contact me earlier in the year. I thought I explained it clearly. Obviously not.

I guess Code Line is not going to update ArtView for anything after Catalina? I just upgraded to Big Sur - like going back to the dark ages!

I se many people link to the Artview app. There is an alternative, costs 3.99 but has less function. Basically it only shows the JPG preview saved inside the file. Works like a champ on OSX and for just 3.99 its nice.

Please, please, please! I'm currently licensing ArtView, but still ultimately prefer the mac experience of QuickLook. It should do Spread View too!
