QuickLook not working with eps files

Question

My hard drive started to die late last year and I got it cloned. But now that I have a new hard drive, I can't preview eps files with QuickLook (holding down the space bar). I tried downloading this plugin http://www.eternalstorms.at/utilities/epsqlplg/ but it didn't work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I work at a printing company and I deal with a lot of eps files every day. It's really frustrating not being able to preview eps files and having to open every single one. I'd love to be able to get the preview feature back. I can preview everything else, just not eps files.

Answer 1

From a scripting level, ID doesn't see EPS as all vector, so I am unsure why it would be unable to differentiate during link updates.  If I place a vector EPS and a bitmap EPS and do:
repeat with i from 1 to count every link
  get effective ppi of parent of link i
end
only one will have an effective ppi.
I suppose you could script around this irregularity by running a script that basically set all EPS with an effective PPI to 100% veritical and horizontal scale after you have scaled them correctly. Something like:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    tell active document
        repeat with i from 1 to count every link
            if link type of link i = "EPS" then
                set hasPPI to false
                try
                    set hasPPI to effectivePPI of parent of link i
                end try
                if hasPPI ≠ false then
                    set vertical scale of parent of link i to 100
                    set horizontal scale of parent of link i to 100
                end if
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell
As for why this isn't happening when Adobe updates links, I have no idea except that EPS has always been the red-headed stepchild of formats with InDesign...
