17 Things You May Not Know About Quick Look

Ive been using Windows since 2004, i bought my first Mac last Friday, The following sunday i wanted to take it back, and the salesperson adviced me to watch this channel for tutorials and so far, i am happ with the machine

It looks like they took away the option to move the quick look window by dragging anywhere in the preview area. Now you can only drag the window from the top bar.

my kingdom for the ability to loop video in quick look – le sigh. thanks for all the great tips Gary!!

Thanks mate, that was really really hellpfull

Yet another excellent tutorial. I use QL every day yet there were quite a few features that I didn't know about.

This feature was broken for me and here was the fix: Relaunching the Finder. Hold down the option key and the control key, then click on the Finder icon in the dock, and then choose Relaunch. It went back to working normally.

Thanks Gary for another great video. How to get that button to have visual look up?

Yet another super-useful how-to video from the inestimable Gary! Thank you for this. I want everyone to support you on Patreon, even for a little bit. (Yes, I am a self-appointed hype man - everyone should have one.)

Editing a video with Quick Look.....GAME CHANGER!

Really useful. Thanks Gary.

Hi Gary, Excellent video. Like some others I don't get the 'info button' and I'm on Monterey 12.6 - any suggestions?
Many thanks😊

Quick Look also works in the Messages app for images, certain doc types.

Hey Gary, On Numbers, how to add two columns under one header? Is it possible?
I know this not the right video to ask questions.
Thanks

Hello Gary can you make a video upgrade vs clean install and how to delete other space ? Thanks .....Keep the great work !

One of the most valuable videos! Thank you!

how to fix "mac QuickLook Preview Not Working" sometimes

You do an awesome job every time!

Gary, you are amazing! Thank you for working so hard to help us all!

Oh My Gosh Gary. I did not know any of this. You have just made my Mac experience much easier in so many ways. Thank You!

Thanks! Unfortunately “quick look” isn’t available (to choose any extentions) in system preferences (MacoS12.6). Probably because it’s the Swiss version… And I have no plants recognition button.

Gary, this video is as fantastic as any of the others you've created. How nice and useful would be a series of videos dedicated to Keyboard Maestro, of which you are a great expert. With your usual clarity every aspect of that great software would become clear to us users.

Great video! Can one delete a file directly from Quick Look?

Amazing video as always. So much great info and tips. I picked up a couple that I did not already know.

Wow! So much I didn’t know. Thanks for sharing. Well done as always!

Wow. What a huge amount of Quick Look features I had no idea about! So useful! Thank you Gary for exceeding expectations once again!

One of my favourite features! It was funny how I was helping a friend with a windows laptop with some images and I kept using the space bar each time trying to open quick look 🤣🤣 he kept asking “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!😡”

Brilliant as ever Gary. Here’s another tip for you - if you hold Space instead of tapping it, QuickView will pop up but automatically disappear when you release Space. I only discovered that yesterday!

Fascinating. I don't get the info button though. Any ideas?

Hi, Gary. This one is very useful. Thanks bunches. 👍

Sometimes when i use quick look, even with the local files, sometimes the content won't load, it only shows the thumbnail view, usually fixed by a restart, but do you know any alternative to not restarting?

Monterey 12.6

Thank you so much, Gary. Didn't know about such features, It was helpful.

Quick Look!!
I didn’t even know this feature existed until i watched your video!!
Excellently explained.

Good work Gary, I got a ton of info out of this. I love you style of presenting

I didn’t knew some of these tricks, thanks!!!

One reason why Quicklook won't preview a file is Finder is misbehaving and you need to force quit it.

Thanks bunches

Quick look is my absolute favorite function in a Mac vs Windows. It’s so so useful and so simple at the same time! Also, I was glad to see that I knew most of the tips that you’ve shown. 🥹 I felt quite proud of myself! 😂 Thanks Gary, always a great pleasure watching and learning from your videos.

Thanks very much, Gary, for this incredibly useful video!

Gary, you've opened our eyes again to functionality and uses that we didn't know about. Your practical, straightforward manner shines through as per usual. More props to you...!

Love watching your video's Gary, I've a ton of images some real gems here in quick look that I wasn't aware of. Thanks buddy 👍🏻

Very helpful as always

Absolutely great. I love it when you talk through what seems to be a basic and simple feature of Mac OS and show us all the things we’ve not been aware of.

I never knew Quick Look had all those features!

thanks...

Great video, I always learn from your vids, and I've used Macs since they began.

I knew how to use "Get Info", but didn't even know this existed. Once again, thanks Gary!

WOW! Who knew? Me, now. Thanks!

I'd love to see reviews of Quick Look extensions some time

Fantastic. I have never used Quick Look, but I will now. I must say ALL your videos are great.

Learned a lot, considering I never even knew about quick look to begin with 🤣
