Hover Box text preview for any file

Post by Turion »

Hi. Is it possible for Hover Box to attempt to show a text preview of a file just like Mouse Down Blow Up?

Examples
- dot files like .gitconfig
- files with no extension like last_heartbeat

Sure, just add those extensions you'd like to see in a Hover Box to Previewed Formats the Text Category. Click on Tools > Configuration > Preview > Reviewed Formats. Click on the Text file category in the upper Categories box. Then click on "Add..." under the Category: Text Files box below. Add the extensions you want to see in Hover Box. Separate multiple extensions with a ";" semicolon. Click on apply and OK.

It should actually work out of the box. But only for files with at least one CRLF line break. (A primitive test for a text file.) What is in your files?

Whatever, it should work better in the next beta.
