How to run "QuickLook" app through a user-defined command within XYplorer?

[cadu]

Hi,
I'd appreciate your help.
I'm trying to run QuickLook (https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook) as a user-defined command within XYplorer:
Here there are some directions for integration and development, with explicit mention to XYplorer: https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook/wik ... evelopment
I created the following XYplorer script, which run QuickLook, but there is no preview window. Instead, just a pop-up QuickLook dialog informs it is running in the background.

Code: Select all

run "C:\Apps\QuickLook\QuickLook.exe" <curitem>

How to run "QuickLook" as a user-defined command within XYplorer for previewing files?

Thank you!
Carlos

By quoting it correctly...
run """C:\Apps\QuickLook\QuickLook.exe"" ""<curitem>""";

Thank you. Worked great!

I just came across this thread and was curious - so I've installed it and am testing.

But I noticed that neither space nor esc close QL preview when triggered from XY - but it's working fine in general file selectors.

Have you guys noticed that, too - and is there a way to make these work?

duh - QL does not have focus when launched from XY.

At least not anymore. I've written a wrapper for it a long time ago ({space} in XY -> QuickLook) but internals must have changed...

I can recommend "Seer": http://1218.io/seer.html

But beware, it's paid software (I've bought the win32 edition)^^

It works fine from XY, not even a script is needed.
Space to view, space (or esc) to close a view.
Even navigating in XY (cursor up / down) works fine, the Seer window updates accordingly

Thanks! And BTW, isn't it embarrassing that we're having some sort of deja-vu: been here, done that etc.

Dunno why I didn't keep it...
