[SOLVED] File Info Tips to display text files content?

Post by Leito »

Similar to the pictures (thumbnails?) displayed on the File Info Tips, can we display text (and other configurable extensions) files on the File Info Tips?

Is this reasonable? Or would that request too many I/O?

You like in the "HoverBox" (Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show image info and preview)?

Yes, I'm planning to do this.

FYI, if you tick this:

Configuration | Preview | Mouse Down Blow Up | On file icons as well

... you already now get a text preview on mouse down on the file icon.

Thanks for the tip. I'm already using this, as well as Preview (F11), but I was looking for something even faster. Pushing XY to the limits. :mrgreen:

For reference, this has been implemented and is supported by the Hover Box since v18.90.0112 (2018-04-27).
