Seer plugin setup

EMPF Preview includes Seer plugin files and a Seer-oriented HTML preview route for Spacebar previews. The plugin is not enabled automatically by the EMPF Preview installer; add it in Seer after installation.

Manual setup required

Installing EMPF Preview and Seer is not enough by itself. Seer must be told to use the included EMPF Preview plugin files before .empf files can open through the Spacebar workflow.

Requirements

  • EMPF Preview installed
  • Seer installed
  • .empf file available locally

Find the plugin files

After installing EMPF Preview, look for the Seer plugin files in the EMPF Preview installation folder:

C:\Program Files\EMPF Preview

The exact plugin file names may vary by build. Look for the Seer-related plugin files or folder included with the installation.

Add the plugin in Seer

  1. Open Seer.
  2. Open Seer settings or plugin management.
  3. Add or install the EMPF Preview plugin files from the EMPF Preview installation folder.
  4. Restart Seer if prompted.
  5. Select a local .empf file and press Space.

Usage after setup

  1. Select an .empf file.
  2. Press Space.
  3. Seer opens a rendered preview.

Preview size

The default Seer HTML preview route renders up to 2560 px for a balance between detail and speed.

Cache note

If Seer preview does not appear, first confirm the plugin is installed in Seer. If preview works but does not update after changing files, clear the Seer cache or test with a renamed copy.
