Autodesk Maya scene file thumbnail previews?

Hi, is there a plug-in which would enable thumbnailing of Autodesk Maya's .ma/.mb scene files...(on a Mac...just recently switched)?

Thanks

Search http://guide.apple.com/ for Universal titles with the keyword Maya.

There are several solutions there.

Hi, thanks but I'm wondering if there is a plug-in for viewing .ma Maya files within Finder, as thumbnails, without opening the files in the Maya application itself. There is a third-party plug-in for Windows which allows Maya scene files to be viewed as thumbnails in Window's Folders...just wondering if there is anything similar for Macs? (The Windows plug-in was written by a guy in Japan during his spare time so I can understand if a Mac version is unavailable....)

Thanks again

Contact Autodesk support. They'd be the best ones to ask.
I'm sure if one has been developed they'd be the ones to know about it.
