« Last post by jfmoyen on February 12, 2024, 21:52:43 »QuickLook does not know when the focus of a file in MC changes.
Indeed, so my question is probably, "is there a way to politely request MC to pass that info to QL" - after all, many file managers manage to do it (Windows, but also many of the *Commander and a slate of others - see https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook/wiki/File-Managers ). There may be profound technical reasons, of course, but at face value it does not sound implausible or unfeasible, I was wondering whether I had maybe overlooked an obvious setting.

MC got its own preview panel, and there you can preview images/pdf and more insida a tab.. That will update when focus changes. It might not be as extension av quicklook
I'm aware of that, but with due respect, QL is more versatile, deals with more file types (pdf, video...), etc. And as far as I'm concerned, it seems a bit pointless to reinvent the wheel...
(and yes, I know that"why don't you just..." is the most infuriating thing to say to a developer, don't get me wrong... :-) )
Thanks, anyway ! And may I take the opportunity to congratulate you on a great piece of software - it was love at first sight.... :-) Effectively, it does intuitively (almost) everything a file manager should do, in my books at least...
