Betreff: InDesign file previews in Finder (Mac)

MonaSMA · ‎Jan 05, 2024

Having to use Bridge is unhelpful when I have a folder full of stock preview images and looking for a suitable one to place in the doc. I have to go to Bridge and count how many files down in order to choose the correct file. This is very inefficient when I used to be able to preview the image right from the finder window when placing an image, and know right away which one to pick without having to go to a separate app to figure it out.

I guess you're right about the regular swatch panel; however, you can scroll with your arrow keys in a color library from the New Color Swatch panel. That's why I noticed you can't do it anymore in CC. It was so much more efficient for adding swatches. Thought it was something that could be fixed, but apparently a feature that is no longer available.

Maybe so. I've only ever used a Mac. I'm beginning to think this feature is no longer available with Creative Cloud, which is a shame since it is an efficiency issue.

Yes. Before we switched to the Creative Cloud, we were still using CS6, and I used the arrow keys for scrolling through swatches regularly.

I'm working in InDesign CC 2018 (on iMac) and am unable to scroll through my swatches in the swatches panel using the arrow keys. The same for the New Color Swatch panel. I've already checked my scrolling options in system preferences and InDesign preferences, but nothing seems related to this problem.
