I am not sure if anyone else suffers from this problem. Over the time, through various magazines I have collected loads of brushes. Not wishing to have lots of brushes live I just store them. Yet, when I think of one for a project, I can never find it. Has anyone come across a brush views app, similar to the ones you can get with fonts. That is you point it to any file and it shows a "thumnail of of the Fonts"

You're not the only one to suffer! I too would like a 'brush manager' app or plugin, but I did a search some months ago and drew a blank. Someone announced the development of something called 'Brushpod' to do exactly this but it never appeared and the site hasn't been updated since October last year.

**Here's an app I found, you might want to investigate this one. It will load any and all collections you have in your brush folder. A real gold mine in my books. Dunno where I got it but I've had it a while and can't live without it. It is open source so I likely found it on the site listed in the graphic...**

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

 

 

 

 

 

Ah, Bobby - that's excellent! It will indeed be a gold mine. I must email the author and say so. Many thanks for the link!

Steve

Entirely my pleasure...happy you're happy

Thanks for that little nugget bobbystahr

 

A Google search found it here.

It looks like he's updated it to version 2.0 in October of 2006

 

My search also turned up a tutorial here.

It seems to be for the 1.0.1 version but I'm sure it will be helpful to those running 2.0 that may be having problems.

 

Anyway... I haven't installed it yet...but you can bet I will today.

 

Thanks again.

i use ver 1 on my sys. 

i'm as much a brush-a-holic as i am with fonts.

here's to hoping Adobe adds a feature like this to the LOAD BRUSH dialog ...

*i was happy they finally added the FONT display!!

**Indeed the font display is kind of a time saver but by then I had already been using TheFontThing  a font manager found here. **** another lil freeware app I can't live without.**
