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.

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.

This really has to be my Number 1 most frustrating issue with Indesign. Apple's QuickLook is so powerful. I have been using https://www.code-line.com/artview/ for years (makes Quicklook work for Indesign and Illustrator files). Every year when new macOS comes out I send my usual email to code-line to make sure artview works before I update. It is that important to me. One year I didn't check and it wasn't compatible.. Boy, do I regret that 4 months until the update came out.
I can not express how deeply I hated using Bridge for that 4 months just so I could get a preview of the documents.
I have over 11,000 indesign files so using Apple's Spotlight search with thumbnail previews and Quicklook (thanks to ArtView) is a god send.
Please, please, please enable Thumbnails/Quicklook on macOS.
Thanks -

Were there ever any recent updates on this? I understand this might be related to Apple also, but that there's absolutely no way to have previews seems rather surprising in 2020 with all the updates and finder's robust quicklook feature.

I just got handed over many many Indesign files and no preview of them is killing me now. Please improve the preview on Mac!

ID UTIL was a great 3rd party workaround Apple gave me, but it's not compatible with 10.15.1, so I'm back to sorting through generic icons to locate a needle in a haystack of thousands of files. Since upgrading to InDesign 2020 Bridge doesn't even display InDesign Thumbnails. Apple points at Adobe.

Agree! Without it, I'm wasting hours every day. It was not a problem until OS 10, so I believe it is a Mac issue.

How does this work in Bridge. I cant get previews of my Indd files.
Thanks. -

Yes - please add thumbnail-sized document previews for InDesign documents when the software is open but no files are open. This already works well in Photoshop 2019 and Illustrator 2019. It even works with some of my InDesign docs (about 1 in 5), but it would be very helpful if the previews of all INDD docs were automatic.
