If you wish to view files in an Open window, you can use Quick Look. Just select a file and press the space bar to view it. (This works only with those files that Quick View can display.) You can also move around and view other files using the arrow keys.

No, that describes the standard operation of Quick Look, i.e., to preview documents from a Finder window.

Checked the calendar - it's not 4/1/13.

This goes back to Leopards original release in 2007 and was in fact used to demonstrate Quick Look onstage when it was announced.
Next up, How Preview can be used to preview files and Finder can be used to find them. EDIT: as mentioned in this hint from this very site in 2007 Edited on Mar 27, '13 09:37:43AM by IHaveABugInMyEye
Quick Look files in Open window
Folks, please notice this hint is about using Quick Look in Open dialogs. Quick Look was introduced in 10.5, and feel free to politely note that this additional capability was added with 10.6, as noted here then. But please don't be impolite or condescending. No one benefits from that.

I soon as I saw this hint I thought 'here we go…'.
Quick Look files in Open window
It's funny. I've always thought of open and save sheets as part of finder and not of the app I open them in. That's why they look like finder itself and I am quite sure apps call them using some api method. I am typing this on Safari and wondering about something else. If I bring up the open dialog, pressing cmd+o, it brings up a new modal dialog whereas if I bring up a save dialog, pressing cmd+s, it brings up a sheet that I am so used to in macs. I wonder when this changed for open and save dialog. |
