“Quick Look is a feature of MacOS, pressing space allows you to quickly see what the file contains in”

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Quick Look is a feature of MacOS, pressing space allows you to quickly see what the file contains inside, from excel, docs, to adobe apps like ps, image formats like png, jpg, nef, cr2, cr3 3D files like stl...
  • 2.It creates an extremely neat and intuitive habit of previewing files with space because sometimes you just try to see what it is and don't want to click to open the software.
  • 3.But the problem with Quick Look is that there are some special files that will not be supported, or in the case of a new camera released, Apple has not yet updated it, and it depends on the file and the MacOS level to support it.

Quick Look is a feature of MacOS, pressing space allows you to quickly see what the file contains inside, from excel, docs, to adobe apps like ps, image formats like png, jpg, nef, cr2, cr3 3D files like stl... It creates an extremely neat and intuitive habit of previewing files with space because sometimes you just try to see what it is and don't want to click to open the software.

But the problem with Quick Look is that there are some special files that will not be supported, or in the case of a new camera released, Apple has not yet updated it, and it depends on the file and the MacOS level to support it.

You can completely download and install Extensions yourself for the files you are working on and want to have Quick Look. But finding it myself, installing it and checking it myself... I'm lazy.

I asked Grokbot to do it for me. First, I tried with the 3MF file - a format I work with on a 3D printer. Tell it to install it, at first I mistakenly remembered it was Quick view, but it also understood it was Quick Look, just wait a bit and it will install.

Currently, 3mf files have thumbnails displayed and can be previewed properly by pressing space.

Quick Look 3mf file interface when pressing space, zoom in, zoom out to see the corners, standardize like common 3D files like STL.

By the way, I asked him to install Quick Look for the .shapr file extension to work with Shapr3D, but currently it cannot be installed.

Similarly, Sony RX1R III's RAW files are not yet supported, and MacOS must be updated.

Grokbot helps me with a simple task in a few seconds, something I can do myself, but it takes a few minutes, maybe 15-20 minutes to find, install and test. Many times, if I install a version I don't like, I have to reinstall it, wasting time.

This is a series about how to use AI in an easy and effective way to increase work efficiency, something that you can enjoy by just spending money without having to learn too much or buy online courses.
