17 Things You May Not Know About Quick Look

[@MrTsatour]

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...!

[@carolinemyddelton580]

So much more to Quick Look than I’d realised! A great time-saver in so many ways. Invaluable tutorial, as ever. Thank you, Gary!

[@meeluanistyn1644]

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.

[@martinnemavhulani6030]

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

[@davebland8489]

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!

[@josefhab8095]

same here. 👍 Tap Space to get the pic open and tap again to close. No need to use ESC.

[@macmost]

Good tip. I should have included that!

[@RawFitChris]

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

[@jvolz283]

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

[@umacs-media]

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

[@willardroad]

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.)

[@macmost]

Thanks!

[@Michelle-w8g3o]

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

[@THR5335]

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.

[@IvanSavin]

One of the most valuable videos! Thank you!

[@andrefernandozen]

Amazing tips! I had no idea about more than half of them! Thanks a lot! ✌️

[@pixelum2023]

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

[@carolinebarlow4795]

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

[@alstroemeria1031]

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!

[@007KrausBean]

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

[@skyhawkUK]

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 👍🏻

[@sthubbins4038]

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

[@loisskiathitis8926]

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️

[@horatiocarter740]

You do an awesome job every time!

[@grahamf695]

Really useful. Thanks Gary.

[@josefhab8095]

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

[@SteMegManzaroli]

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

[@qwe1231]

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

[@x7j4]

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

[@aim.1]

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

[@mrfrano100]

Very helpful as always

[@dontridethatruss]

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

[@blinn40x]

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

[@remcoalbers]

Thanks mate, that was really really hellpfull

[@scottboettcher1344]

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

[@scottboettcher1344]

I meant "Inspector", not "Get Info"; d'Oh!

[@batre8163]

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

[@macmost]

It should appear automatically as long as your Mac meets the requirements and there is something in the image for it to tell you about.

[@batre8163]

@@macmost Mine is Air M1, 2020, just adapted to Ventura. And I tried on an Eiffel Tower image as well. Maybe Apple moved it out of Ventura. Thank you for your reply.

[@macmost]

@@batre8163 It is definitely part of Ventura. Are you using it in the Photos app? Keep trying different pictures.

[@batre8163]

@@macmost I tried it in Finder, as in your video. Thanks for your confirmation. Will try it again.

[@batre8163]

@@macmost Hi Gary, I've found out if I change the region to US, it works.

[@ph5915]

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

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

[@noshooz21044]

I never knew Quick Look had all those features!

[@davesimpson3127]

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😊

[@macmost]

Have you tried it on multiple photos that show a clear plant or other recognizable object?

[@davesimpson3127]

@@macmost Apologies for the delay in replying. Yes, I tried it on about 4 pictures where the subject, a single plant in each case, was clearly the focus of the picture. Many thanks

[@denhamk]

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?!😡”

[@Tejocity82]

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

[@macmost]

Not sure what you are trying to do. Since this is not a video about Numbers, use macmost.com/ask and ask with more details.

[@carywilson6435]

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

[@macmost]

Quick Look doesn't delete, but in order to be looking at something in Quick Look it is usually what you have selected in the Finder. So if that is the case, Command+Delete will move it to the trash.

[@faraway7696]

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.

[@macmost]

Do you mean you don't see Quick Look listed in System Preferences, Extensions? That would be because you don't have any apps that have Quick Look extensions. Nothing to do with the country.

[@faraway7696]

yes. Alright, no App with extensions then on my mac. Any idea, why I don‘t have the plant ID button?

[@macmost]

@@faraway7696 perhaps it doesn’t recognize the plant in the image. Try another image with a plant.

[@Greg-fg1rd]

WOW! Who knew? Me, now. Thanks!

[@pauldelcour]

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

[@macmost]

Is there an object in your photo that would qualify? Like a plant, landmark, or dog or something?

[@pauldelcour]

@@macmost I picked a sunflower, then a rose, nothing. I use Catalina.

[@macmost]

@@pauldelcour Ah, that's important. This feature is too new for Catalina. It requires Monterey.

[@pauldelcour]

@@macmost Thought as much. THNX.

[@desertpatient]

Thanks bunches

[@remo-pro]

Apple removed in Mojave or Catalina sadly a function. With option space is Quick Look in Fullscreen but when you press option it no longer zooms a photo to fullscreen instead of the smaller size and black beside

[@macmost]

It enlarges to the largest size where the whole photo fits, yes.

[@sagunmdr]

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

[@macmost]

Yes, this is a widely-reported bug. Hopefully fixed with Ventura.

[@KLTrainz]

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.

[@1BigBucks1]

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.

[@saurabhjitsingh7137]

Can I share keynote presentation on Google meet?

[@macmost]

We’ll in the same way as you share any part of your screen, sure. There’s no special Meet function just for Keynote.

thanks...

[@berishabb]

how to fix "mac QuickLook Preview Not Working" sometimes

[@macmost]

What's the exact problem? Describe.

[@j2simpso]

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

[@ebutuoy6701]

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.
