Finder cannot preview prores files.

I just purchased a new iMac with Lion 10.7.2.


In Snow Leopard (on an older machine) I was able to preview prores files directly in finder by pressing spacebar. With Lion, finder just keeps searching for a solution and never finds one. I can see the files if I open them in Quicktime, but having at least a thumbnail would save a lot of time.

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Re the thumbnails, open View Options for the folder holding the docs - with the folder open, press Command-J or select Show View Options from the View menu. In the View Options screen, checkmark the item "Show item preview".


The Desktop counts as a folder for this purpose.
