The documentation says that in Project View “You can see a full-size preview of any of your items by pressing Space. Press Space again to clear the preview”. However pressing space on my computer does nothing. Is the feature broken or am I missing something here?
This is only supported on macOS at the moment (using macOS’ native preview window).
Ok. Thank you for making this wonderful software and taking time to answer the question,
Hello,
I am new to Tropy and was wandering why the preview feature did not work on my computer – and it’s absence is unfortunately a dealbreaker for me.
Have you ever considered allowing PowerToys to preview the files, as it works in Explorer? That wouldn’t take a lot of work implement, and would allow for an essential feature – just to be able to look through a collection, or present it to somebody. Now it is simply impossible on Windows…
(In my opinion the program would greatly benefit form a native implementation of space-invoked preview, but I understand that this might be too big of a project?)
Agreed. Eventually, I think the best solution is to provide our own, platform-independent preview window. The functionality provided by macOS is also limited because we can’t easily update add e.g. keyboard navigation.
Is the PowerToys preview available in a separate window or only via the preview pane in Explorer?
