A quick tip about using the qlmanage command to see the Quick Look preview of a file from the command line. Define this shell function:
ql(){
qlmanage -p $@ 2>/dev/null
}
Then you can invoke it as ql FILENAME when needed. Use C-c to exit.
Update: Scott left a great suggestion to use $@ instead of $1. This allows you to bring Quick Look up for multiple files. (It even provides a contact sheet view, nice.) Thanks Scott!
Hello. A quick improvement on your macro is to add “$@” instead of just $1. This not only allows spaces etc in file names, but uses multiple files. So now “ql *.jpg” will show all files with next/previous buttons working inside Quick Look.
