Quicklook Files with Hazel Mon Jan 11, 2010 12:23 pm • by a_freyer
I recently aided a friend in setting up an exceptionally unique idea with Hazel. He wanted to preview via Quicklook a file that he had just downloaded.

So, I created a new rule with the following embedded script:
Code: Select all
qlmanage -p "$1" >& /dev/null &


The shell is /bin/sh still.

This one line will Quicklook any files passed through it.

@ecormany

I'd suggest deleting this post and re-posting separately to Tips and Tricks, or better yet modify this post with a link to the separate launchbar post.

Although these solutions address similar problems, they're very different hints.
