Simple program to have a quick preview of the files in a folder (similar to Apple's Quick Look)
Supported files: mp3,mp4,jpg,webp,svg,svgz,doc,docx,odt,xls,xlsx,csv,ods,md,pdf
1: Download the latest release from here and extract it: https://github.com/Nyre221/dolphin-quick-view/releases/
2: Install the dependencies (README_REQUIREMENTS.txt)
3: Make the "INSTALL.sh" file executable (right click-> properties->check "executable") and run it
4: If you want to open it with a shortcut and not just via dolphin's context menu: go to plasma settings -> shortcuts -> add a shortcut that executes a command: /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.config/quick_view/dolphin_quick_view_shortcut.sh
(you can activate the shortcut as you want)
a,b and arrow keys = back and forward
spacebar, q and ESC = quit
w and arrow up key = open with default app
If quick view doesn't open via dolphin's dropdown menu: open a terminal and type "dolphin", error messages will appear in the terminal window (possible missing dependencies)
if dolphin_quick_view_shortcut.sh doesn't work, run: "sleep 5 ; ~/.config/quick_view/dolphin_quick_view_shortcut.sh" in a terminal and reactivate a dolphin window (you have 5 seconds). The errors should appear there.
if the pdfs are not visible it is because you have not installed python3-qpageview or python3-poppler-qt5 (names may differ a bit)
if some mp4 files don't play it's probably because you're missing some gstreamer library
