Enhance Quick Look in Leopard

January 26th, 2008 | by Saf |

Hello,

First thing I have to say is I found some really cool things to be used with the Quick Look feature in Leopard. This is what I love about OSX, the versatility and ability to enhance what is already a brilliant operating system. Anyway, I’m not here to sell Apple Mac OSX 10.5 - Leopard :P

So the cool thing,

You know how when you press the space bar to activate quick look on a folder or zip file, you get the annoying file icon? Easily solved by installing these two easy to use plugins. I love it. It’ll show you the contents of the folder/zip file! As shown in the screenshot below:

Quick Look Example with plugin

This is what it will look like once the plugin is installed. Get the plugin HERE. Extract and move the files over to either Library/Quicklook or ~Library/Quicklook. If the directory doesn’t exist create it! Then restart your computer and all will be good in the world of Quick Look!

Back to my life, I did nothing today. See, this is why I have to post tips on bettering your Mac, I have no life…
Before I go, I have to post a picture I took of Rob, Andy and Bryony. All looking at their best in the common room. Obviously Bryony, you look as beautiful as ever (want a Chewit?):

    Well what can I say about the picture…
    Rob looks like he’s about to kill you for trying to take a picture of him.
    Bryony looks like she is about to escape the hug of death from Andy.
    and andy’s trying make it look like everything’s just bloody great - ’smile and wave boys, smile and wave’(well not bryony obviously - well.. you should know Saf with the whole chewit business.)
    But apart from that, the settings good.

    Lol,

    Thank you for that seal of approval on the photo.

    I have to agree, Andy does make it seem as if everything is fine and dandy. Hehe
