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.

[edit: per a_freyer's suggestion below, i've started a new thread about processing files with LaunchBar.]

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.
