Features Request

[unkowncoder01]

Ive done few testings with quick look that led me to features that I am going to need:

1- Scrolling with Mouse Wheel on Image Files (I cant seem to use my mouse wheels to scroll on images)

2- Preview Files inside a Folder (able to peek content inside a folder)

3- Smooth Scroll Movement when scrolling with mouse (for ex in viewing pdfs, scrolling is choppy compared when viewing markdown files. Would be nice to scroll smoothly on any file)

4- Smooth Zooming (currently zooming on files like markdown or image is choppy, would like it to be smooth like the Photos app that comes with windows when zooming on images, etc)

5- Configure Setting to Auto Close when View left Unfocused (a feature PowerToys Peek has)

6- Configure Setting to change Hotkey

7- Configure Setting to change Window Frame (borderless, window border, etc)

8- Configure Setting to Change Theme

9- To be able to Fill Width Space for PDFs

10- Full Zoom Support for Long-Image PDFs (currently I cant fully zoom in on long-image pdfs, leaving the window width still empty)

Thanks your sharing.

1-No plan to do that.

2-You can try the FolderViewer from here https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook/wiki/Available-Plugins

3-Smooth Scroll is difficult to implement in WPF. I’ve tried it before, but the effect was not good, so I eventually decided to give up.

4-Mainly because WPF has poor support for animations on large images—the framework is quite old (essentially a 20-year-old system).
But I might consider it.

5-I’ll think about it.

6-No plan to do that.

7-No plan to do that.

8-This is a future feature, tentatively planned for QuickLook V5.

9-I don’t quite understand.

10-You can try the PdfViewer-Native from here https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook/wiki/Available-Plugins

Appreciate the reply,

• Thanks for the plugins suggestions: requests 2 9 10 are solved ✔ (+ the pdf plugin supports smooth scrolling for pdfs)

• Regarding the features you have considered, thought about, and gave up on: it would be great if you implemented them as it would make QuickLook stand out quickly + because I love QuickLook

• For the features that wont happen, how can I implement them? I am a total noob to coding in general but I have small background in ahk, html, & css. Visiting QuickLook manual there isnt much information on configuring the .config file, so I want to know how can I implement them? is it through creating a plugin or there is a way using .config?

Btw what is WPF?

And WPF is the UI framework used by QL

Yes that is the forum that Ive read, but I dont find something like configuring the hotkey for example. Currently the forum config showing the supported commands: window transparency, monitor color profile conversion, modern messagebox, dark theme in the Text editor

QL does not support hotkey modification.

I see, so even through a plugin not possible too?
