I use Designer's Gallery Studio... not too expensive and does the trick. :-)

Heed Rosie she has given u a good one *

To organize as well go to Ann the Gran.
Catalogue Express, Can try for free for a month

I have a 4D organiser, it lets me view and use designs in zip files without me having to first extract the files from the zip. It has a file converer build into the program allowing me to convert formats in one clic to suit my needs. I added some links if you would like to have a look at them. Here in Austria you can pick them up for round about Euro's 300 on ebay. I would strongly recomend shopping around for the best price before buying.

I use the sew iconz..you have a 7 day free trial and to purchase it is only 20.00..try it free..You will love it! had mine for about 1 year now and I can't imagine living without it...<br />http://www.sandscomputing.com/id18.html It recognizes all embroidery formats and is very easy..just install the downlowad and you'll be viewing your designs in a second!!

and here is the organizer as well..I do not have this one though...It also has a free trial period along with many other embroidery programs..sewart sewwhatpro..with free trial periods..

I really like the way sewcat. The way it lays out in the three panes on the computer screen makes it really easy to work with.

I love this one<br />http://www.eos3.com/index.php?en<br />You can view files, create new ones, put them around, delete whole files, rename designs or files, convert formats, change sizes of design etc.<br />You see the color sequences, stitch count + size of design.<br />You can simulate a realistic view. And I think it is very clear structured. Have a look here.<br />I like, that you can interact between the two windows just with drag and drop. It is so fast.<br />And not the only feature it has.<br
OOps, I forgot to tell you the best: it is FREE.

Looking at http://www.eos3.com/index.php?en, you have to go to Downloads and register in order to download the viewer. You can also download an .exe file of about 5 free designs!

I've had Buzz Explore for several years and I love it. I have 3D organizer but I don't really like it. It just came with my 3D software. Tried SewIconz but it drained my memory and took forever to load the images. Sounds like the one evajungermann mentioned does the same stuff as Buzz Explore and it's free! I'll have to look at it. Buzz Explore was about $100 but it was worth it to me!

You got some good answers. *2U
