Gloobus - a nice, handy previewer

Surfing around at Planet Gnome brings me to Gloobus, a nice and handy preview addon inspired by the preview of Mac OS X and Coverflow. For me the most interesting part is the Coverflow effect integration into Nautilus.
The bad news is that witout rebuilding Nautilus only the normal Gloobus 0.4 is available as a Deb archive. A really nice goody is that is install GTK PixBuf Loader for support of Photoshop PSD and GIMP XCF files to the entire Gnome desktop. So any Gnome graphics viewer (like EOG, F-Spot or gThumb) can preview these formats too.

If you like these features don't forget to support the project by a donation!

All nice and stuff, but I keep wondering how all these nice effects add to the productivity.
The old, plain thumbnail previews still work the best imho smile
