NSImage and NSImageView are all you need.
You can init the image with the contents of the file and it will
display a representation of that file using the size of your
NSImageView. You should configure the NSImageView to size the image
proportionally. NSImage supports most common image files (jpg, gif,
png, etc...), pdf, and eps documents. For other types of documents,
you're on your own, I think.

Good evening:

course. Where do those come from anyway?
My question is just where I can find some documentation.
I have gone back through all the documentation and can't seem to
find any
clues.
NSImage *theFileIcon = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] iconForFile:
@"/path/to/file"];
[myImageViewOutlet setImage: theFileIcon];
Oh wait-- I just reread your message and I'm not sure this is what
you are after. The method above will show the appropriate icon for
whatever file type it is, but I don't think it "previews" the file.
However some file types show a preview. I don't know maybe I
shouldn't be answering :-)
