Hi,

I do like glance but I'm missing the following extension support:

3D files: stl, GCode, dxf => http://www.elektriktrick.com/sw_quicklook.html does it but it's not supported anymore.

Other files: ePub, string files from macOS

Would be happy if you can implement it in the future.

Wishes

Let's split this issue up:

EPUB seems doable, I've created a new issue for it: #21.
STL is already supported by macOS/Xcode.
What kind of previews would you expect for .gcode, .dxf and .strings files?

micheld93 commented 4 years ago

Thanks for adding EPUB to the list for enhancements.

Thanks for the tip for STL, sorry.

GCODE and DXF are more or less 3D/drawing files so I would expect the 3D model (for gcode) or the drawing (for dxf).

For .strings I would expect some thing like that: https://blog.timac.org/2014/0325-quicklook-plugin-to-preview-strings-files/ But this plug in seems to be not working anymore.

I have no experience with such 3D files. If anybody wants to contribute preview code, I'd be open for PRs.

I've moved .strings support to a new issue as well: #24

Perhaps this can help for gcode files: https://github.com/hudbrog/gCodeViewer
