QuickLook for inst - preview single file with the spacebar is my favorite feature of speech of O X 10.5 hands down . Encouraging news , then , is this Apple letters patent dug up byApple Insiderwhich could add QuickLook to the pointer , enable system - wide quick apex or contextual choices for everything in the OS . The patent sound like it ’s basically bringing Aperture ’s monocle horizon for viewing full - res domain of photograph instantly ( which is also amazingly useful ) to the OS as a whole — hovering over an icon could spring a house of cards with four app choices to spread that single file , or bring home the bacon other information on what you ’re look at .
Apple also seems like they ’re trying to patent those horrific Snap previews you find on fine web log everywhere — that blow out a preview interpretation of the web page being connect to when you hover . That one we can do without . [ Apple Insider ]
