Leopard Tricks - Quick Look
Posted by Wendy
Look inside Property List
It's a tough time for me to figure out how to read file with type Property List (for tweaking purpose). I tried to use TextMate but it's been expired. I also tried to use TextEdit but all I can see were mysterious codes. However, Quick Look seems to be working well with this kind of files.
Happily Play Movie for You
Why do you bother to launch your Quick Time Player while you can watch movies easily with Quick Look?
Play Music in an Instant
This is kind of killer feature, now you don't need to open your music in iTunes for you to listen to it. Quick Look it!
Quick Trash!
Whatever the files inside your Trash can be explored using Quick Look, including Musics and Movies. What a life saver!

While it is very nice being able to 'Quick Look' .plist files, I recommend using Property List Editor that is installed as part of Apples Developer Tools (it is by default located in /Developer/Utilities/). Press the 'Dump' button to view the plist content as ascii. Use the topmost frame to edit the entries and their values.

One more thing, not mentioned anywhere on apple.com, is that QuickLook is now one of the greatest font viewer available. Just select one font, hit the spacebar to view and scroll to the next one using the up- and down arrows.
