Quicklook plugin for folders!

That's actually really sweet, I always find it annoying that I'm just looking at a folder when I pull up quick-look...
 
i'm sorry, have i missed something?


i fail to see why you would want to quicklook a folder when you could just ... wait for it ... OPEN THE FOLDER TO SEE WHAT'S INDIDE! OH MY GOSH

Because we like options darn it :D While I agree with you, it's still pretty nifty.

What's the point of having quicklook at all then, WHEN YOU CAN JUST DOUBLE CLICK ON A FILE?

That aside: this plugin TOTALLY rocks! The fading of the list is a very nice touch although I'd like it to start fading later at the bottom of the viewer.

Great find.
 
Great idea, keep loading up on those plugins! Then next week, you'll be in here complaining that you're having trouble with Leopard... and that Apple sucks for releasing such a buggy software. As for me, I'm going to make sure Leopard is rock solid and has a couple more updates before I start loading up on haxies and other resource hogs. Especially if it's just to look inside of a folder.

The fade is just an image in the plugin's package contents. You could change it.

Dude, Apple has a plugin just like this one for iWork files. Quick Look was built for plugins. It is in no way going to be a resource hog, nor is it a haxie.
 
Quicklook has quickly become my favorite feature of Leopard, this just adds to it. Can't wait for more plugins.

Yeah... well, DUDE... the main difference would be that Apple wrote the iWork plugin and some guy in Japan wrote the other. Whatever... go for it. Have a nice life.

Well if it caused any instabilities, then all you would to do is delete the plugin from the Quicklook folder and restart Finder.
 
i did this but it didn't install.

how do you install it? do you just move it to the folder? it doesn't work.
 
I was skeptical, at first, to try this plug-in, but once I did, it took me all of 2 seconds to fall instantly in love with it. Makes it extremely handy to find stuff on the fly without having to open each folder just to take a peek inside.

And even if a person never really needs it, it sure as **** beats the default Quick Look you get on folders, so on the off chance you just happen to QL one, it'll be more useful with this plug-in installed than without.
 
Someone said there was one for previewing the contents of a zip file, but they didnt provide a link.

Anyone else seen this?

I love quick look. The whole idea is to keep from having to open up a whole application just to get a "quick-look" and then end up having to quit the app after that.
