Adobe XD Files (.xd) Preview #307

Open idesignwebsites opened 6 years ago

idesignwebsites commented 6 years ago

Please add QuickLook support for the Adobe XD files (.xd).

Adobe XD is a new app from Adobe for UX/UI designers. It's growing fast and it's quickly replacing Photoshop and Illustrator for these purposes. https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/xd.html

Despite Adobe XD is an UWP app, Windows Explorer doesn't support XD thumbnails natively.

This is unfortunately not possible yet because there no one can open and render .xd files except Adobe XD itself. The support from QL side can be added only when there is a library for this format.

Thank you for the reply. I 100% understand. It's actually very sad that Adobe and Microsoft are not commited more to make these things work properly and deliver a better experience to their clients. Thankfully there are some great people like you so I'll use the opportunity to thank you for making the difference.

I fully agree that this would be seriously helpful. I have tried to find out from Adobe when we can expect to see an SDK or library to do this, I'll update this issue when I hear more.

Hello, I see that this issue hadn't been updated for one and half a year, and I'd like to know if it's possible to request for .sketch file preview also in this issue (If not I'll open another plugin request)

XD files can be unzipped, if this helps anyone looking to build a plugin

➜  example git:(main) ✗ unzip file01.xd
Archive:  file01.xd
 extracting: mimetype                
  inflating: manifest                
 extracting: META-INF/metadata.xml   
  inflating: artwork/artboard-6ca57bbd-3a31-4844-b3e0-8b2a839bc8ac/graphics/graphicContent.agc  
  inflating: artwork/pasteboard/graphics/graphicContent.agc  
  inflating: interactions/interactions.json  
 extracting: preview.png             
 extracting: renditions/image-420-420.png  
  inflating: resources/graphics/graphicContent.agc  
  inflating: sharing/sharing.json    
 extracting: thumbnail.png

Don't have the xcode experience but it should be possible to extract the preview.png and thumbnail.png file binary and use it for the quicklook preview and thumbnail respectively.

Would love to archive this if an official solution gets released.
