A year later... Are there any alternatives to Ember

    Pixa is great but doesn't support EPS, even though I think it still says that on the app store.

    It looks like Pixave, mentioned above, does support EPS (if it was saved in the right way).

      Looks like I've got some testing to do:) Thanks for the suggestion!

      Right, I decided to give Pixave on the App Store a go.

      There was no demo available, but at the very reasonable (cheap, really) price of £7.99, I just bought it.

      First impressions in bullet-points:

      • Dark mode only. This is a problem when viewing black pngs/svgs with a transparent background
      • Only OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and above – rules out my work Mac
      • It should sync. So far, I'm trying out a Box solution (see below)
      • Tags seem OK, but that's going to take regular upkeep

      My system, however, seems.. alright..

      • Organise the Box (free 10GB account) folder into:
      • Box Sync
        • "The Goods"
          • "Icons"
          • "Textures"
          • "UI-Kits"
      • Use Box account for only this (luckily, I also have Backblaze so everything's backed up)
      • Should be able to use different apps with a view of something working on Windows as well. (Sorry, I've never used a Linux machine...)

      So far, so good, though – going to blow on.
