It is a very simple program that allows you to have a quick overview of the contents of some files.
The program requires some python libraries and I have made a list of those needed for some distributions. they are generally always the same, just the names change a little.

Oh my god THANK YOU.
I have been searching for this for a year. Forum discussion usually come out to “why would you need that?” I work in media and have to look at an enormous amount of video and photo content, quick look is an absolute necessity!
Honestly one of the most frustrating responses in the tech community.

I disagree. I think it’s often mistaken for derision when in reality it’s a request for a better description of the use case.
This looks cool, thanks!
A couple questions from looking at the repo:
- instructions reference INSTALL.sh but that’s not in the source? Maybe only in the release tarball?
- does it clear the user’s entire clipboard history each time it’s run?
- would it make sense to package this up for PyPI, with system deps being checked for and reported from within python? If so, are you interested in pull requests?

I added it to the repository: https://github.com/Nyre221/dolphin-quick-view/tree/main/package creation

I made some changes and now it doesn’t delete all the history, only the last thing copied (afterwards try to restore it but it doesn’t work if you copied a folder or file): https://github.com/Nyre221/dolphin-quick-view/blob/main/package creation/quick_view_package/dolphin_quick_view_shortcut.sh
this is caused by dolphin’s limitations and there’s not much I can do about it.

I don’t think it makes much sense for this application.
For now I’m trying to integrate the modules inside a .pyz and eliminate the use of pip: https://github.com/Nyre221/dolphin-quick-view/issues/10
Very cool. Nice work! I wonder how an implementation with KPart/C++ would look like
Thanks!

I’m not sure what you mean, I have no experience with c++.
