Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux Dolphin supports file previews which creates a small thumbnail image of the document (like PDF) - which is very handy. The next step would be to have a feature like Mac Snow Leopard has, which allows you to choose one or more individual files - press spacebar, and an instant viewer pops up showing the contents of the chosen file. This is especially helpful when sifting through many PDFs looking for the right one. In the Mac terms it is called "Quick Look": http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/quick-look.html Basically an instant preview of several common file types. This should be achievable in KDE using the preview mechanism as well and a hotkey to activate it! Just an idea . . . Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Wish

There was KLook: KLook: A Swiss Army Knife of media type viewers - http://linuxbsdos.com/2012/04/09/klook-a-swiss-army-knife-of-media-type-viewers/ kde-devel: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=133603854403640&w=1 KDE git: https://cgit.kde.org/klook.git/ but it disappeared somewhere...
What a shame, KLook looks like it would fit the bill perfectly. I wonder if we could recruit a new maintainer. Looks like it would need to be ported to QT5 and KF5. Is anyone who's CCd on this bug interesting in stepping up?

I want this as well. and I am thinking it should be easily be done... it could be a QML/Python script, that opens a basic Plasma container, that is on top of everything else and contains only one thing...if not python, a very basic plasma widget. there is probably one already there we could take example from. a kpart embedder, and chose the proper embedding parts from the file association settings. can we open a new plasma widget on top of every window easily? and a file action with a shortcut to openit from any file dialog/dolphin window does that makes sense ?
KDE really needs this. IIRC, many of the other DEs have had this for some time. GNOME obviously does, and I believe Cinnamon and MATE do as well.
I can get klook ported to kf5 however I don't have resources at the moment to be a proper maintainer.

Any plans to make this an official feature of Dolphin in Plasma 6?
