Quick Preview and Hover Preview in Folder Slice

Built-in Quick Look

  • Select the file you want to preview and press the Space bar to quickly preview its contents, just like the native Quick Look feature on macOS.

Hover Preview in Folder Slice

Folder Slice provides a more convenient hover preview feature for certain scenarios and special file types:

  • By default, in the file display area, hover your mouse over a file and press the Space bar. Folder Slice will show a floating window with a preview of the file.
  • You can enable "Auto Hover Preview" in the settings. With this enabled, simply hovering over a file will automatically display the preview window.

Preview Settings

  • Go to Settings > General > Enhanced Display to adjust details such as hover time and supported file types.
  • Common file formats are supported by default, and you can manually add more types.

Special File Type Support

  • Audio files: Optimized player interface, with support for MIDI file preview.
  • Subtitle files: Formats like SRT and FCPXML can be displayed with proper formatting.
  • Markdown files: Content is rendered directly for preview.
  • SVG images: Displayed at optimal size.

Summary

With the Quick Look and hover preview features, you can browse and inspect various file contents more efficiently, improving your file management experience.
