Gifs no longer preview in update?


Recommended Posts

Maybe a setting was changed in the update, and this is as simple as modifying a setting that I'm not sure where to find?

 

I used to be able to preview gifs with the following sequence of actions: use a workflow that simply searches through my gifs folder, select a file through a query, Press `fn` key and see a preview of the file.

 

All of this still happens but now I no longer get the active preview? Is there a way to get this back? I'm sure there are much better ways to do this as well, but I've grown accustomed to that workflow and like using it for quickly previewing gifs. I've included a video and gif of me going through it (I know some people hate gifs) Everything works as it used to, but now I get gifs as an image with a white border instead of a preview of them playing. 

 

Thanks again and sorry if the answer is obvious, I promise I searched around the settings and forum a bit before asking (but it is after 4 pm on a Friday ?)

@Benjamski Alfred's file preview panel had to be replaced with a static image instead of using an Apple Preview API view as this was causing the window transparency to break in high sierra. I'm keeping an eye on this being fixed by Apple (as I suspect it's also related to the GPU performance bug), if they fix it, I may return the view to Preview version.

 

If you have the shift version enabled, a quick tap of shift on the selected result should do the same as cmd+y.

 

Cheers,

Andrew
