Jim, thanks for this.
I tried the -t option. Then it shows in a white window instead of the black one. Since it is a thumb you can not scroll through multipage pdfs for example. It shows only the first page. For images this is quite ok. One can get the up to the original size by fiddling with the parameters. here is a script with some variations of the commands ------------------------ on mouseUp answer file "please choose ..." if it is empty then exit mouseUp put it into theFile put apostrophe (theFile) into theFile put "qlmanage -t " & "-s 900 " & theFile into tcmd -- apparently it sets it to max orig size, white window -- put "qlmanage -t " & "-f 5 " & theFile into tcmd ---- apparently it sets it to max orig size, white window -- put "qlmanage -p " & theFile into tcmd -- shows it in a black window get shell (tCmd) if the result is not empty then put the result end mouseUp function apostrophe what return "'" & what & "'" end apostrophe ----------------------------- regards Bernd Jim Sims wrote: > > > On May 1, 2009, at 9:28 AM, Terry Judd wrote: > >> Ooh - and PowerPoint presentations as well! > > Yes, useful. > > > Maybe the -t option is useful, no idea about these others however.
