OS X Quick Look Preview on the Command-line
The qlmanage
command has a -p
argument which lets you create Quick Look previews on the command line. So something like this can be nice to have in your shell profile: alias ql='qlmanage -p'
.
I decided I needed something a little more featurey than an alias (because qlmanage -p README
is useless). So, I made a quick python implementation of ql which has special treatment for README
, LICENSE
, Makefile
and probably eventually other extension-less file names.
