I've been doing a bunch of work lately with plots in EPS format, and I noticed something different in my system since upgrading to 3.0. It used to be that the AdobeIllustrator registered the .eps file ending (and didn't Image Viewer as well?) so that you could make it the default application for .eps files. Now it doesn't seem to since AI is not in the list of possibility in teh Tools Inspector for .eps files. Anyone know how to restore this? or did they change AI when they made the minor upgrade last year? (I installed the AI upgrade at the same time I upgraded to 3.0, so I don't know exactly what caused the difference). Note I did go and change the name of the application and its folder so that .ai files register properly. While we're on the subject: does anyone have a suggestion for a good basic .eps file previewer/printer application? Preview is way too finicky for my taste. I often make EPS files by hitting the Save button in the print panel, then using BBFig to get the Bounding Box right. Preview has a major fit wiht these files, but they image perfectly on drag and drop into Create, Diagram, etc. Under 2.1 I could use Scene, which was perfect for the task, and also had the nice "position in center" and "scale to fit" options in the print panel. Is there anything else like that around? Or has anyone fixed Scene (as someone was kind enough to do for Icon) so it works under 3.0?
