Zevrix Solutions comes with something newsworthy from time to time, but having run their product reviews for a decade, they STILL don’t answer my calls, or support the Design Center! After 20 million pairs of eyes sent to them, this is the respect I get. Oh well, their Graphic Inspector 2.2, a feature update is noteworthy.
As a quality control solution for images and vector graphic files, Graphic Inspector can check entire folders of files for potential problems according to specific workflow requirements. The software provides graphic professionals with the most exhaustive info on multiple images and Adobe Illustrator files, saving the time and hassle of checking each of them manually.
The new version lets users open files with an editor app of their choice directly from Graphic Inspector via the new Open With contextual menu. In previous versions only default program assigned by the operating system could be used. The update also introduces background rendering of icon preview images, which speeds up performance significantly especially when scanning a large number of files.
