As per title, I'm searching if there is something similar to OSX's Quick Look or Gnome's Gloobus Preview for KDE: searching Google brought me to some KDE's brainstorms, but nothing more.

Also to Duong Pham website, where he suggest to add a Dolphin sevice menu item installing Gloobus Preview and then create the .desktop file: this is not a solution, because you have to right click and select "preview", rather than just press SPACE.

Any idea?

Preview KDE

Dolphin > Settings > Configure Dolphin > General > Previews.

enter image description here

To preview the KDE need the thumbnailer to be installed:

Few examples:

  • kde-thumbnailer-audiothumbs

  • kdegraphics-thumbnailers

  • kde-thumbnailer-openoffice

  • ffmpegthumbs

Dolphin > View > Panels > information (F11)

The Information panel will show the preview and the information of the object.

enter image description here

Dolphin > Settings > Configure Dolphin > General > Show tooltips

The tooltip will show the the preview and the information of the object.

enter image description here

The preview plasma widget will show the preview when the image is dropped on the widget.

KLook

The KDE 4.9 /1/ could have the KLook /2/,/3/. It is something like the Gloobus /4/ but for the KDE.

The KLook is working with the KDE 4.8 /5/.

Advanced preview

There are ways to get auto preview with the KDE file managers /6, 7/ but they are using modified/patched Dolphin/Konqueror.
