    It looks absolutely great and I will download it, but I have a question, what advantage does it have, for example, to use this instead, for example, to open Okular to view a PDF?

    I suppose it has the advantage of not opening a complete program like an office suite to take a quick look at a file.

    And thanks for considering posting on Lemmy! I have no idea if you shared it on Reddit or if you use it, but I suppose that 90% of developers prefer to share their creation there because there is more public there.

      Look, I’ve never used Apple’s quick look or Gnome sushi so I can’t answer this question. The people here can definitely give you a better answer than me haha

      After reading about a user who was looking for an alternative to Apple’s Quick Look and Sushi Gnome I decided to create this program to practice with python and make someone happy. I didn’t expect there were so many people with the same need.

      I think its usefulness lies in the ability to scroll between files (even of different types) with the arrow keys, plus being fast.
