Coincidentally, that link is the first result when I Googled "cocoa file preview."

The moral of this story is: learn how to Google!

I Googled for something a bit less obvious to find it. I think it was something like "Quick Look Framework File Preview Mac"!

is there any option to implement 'Preview Pane' (like in Windows Vista System) for the files.

thanks.
