Support and Feedback / Quicklook - nearly works
« on: February 12, 2024, 16:49:52 »
Good evening,
A couple of years ago an user reported a rather nice previewer app, called quicklook (https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook)
(this thread: https://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php?topic=4148.0 )
In the present situation, I'm frustratingly close from getting QL to work with multicommander.
In "filetype setup", I created a new viewer app with extension *.jpg (for time being), replacing therefore the regular MC Picture Viewer. Program path is "C:/path/to/QuickLook.exe", and Program parameters are "${filepath}"
When I select a jpg and press F1, QuickLook dutifully fires and displays the image, as it should. So far, so good.
Now the frustrating part. The nicest feature of QL is that, if you move through your files in windows explorer (with up/down arrow, or by selecting another file with the mouse), QL automatically updates to show the currently selected file.
In multicommander, if I move up/down (or select another file), QL keeps the originally selected file, unless I press F1 again. Now, this is a minor irritant admittedly, but it seems so close from perfection... Is there perhaps a way to tweak my settings so that changing the selected file will trigger the command again, thus forcing QL to "update" ?
Thanks!
