QuickLook or Preview in Clipboard History

[DrDannySands]

When browsing the clipboard history, it would be useful to be able to see a preview of each file or webpage. At the very least make this available as one of the universal actions. I could not create a universal action workflow to replicate this functionality, but perhaps there is a way to do it.

 

Thanks.

Indeed it is doable, and without code—or it will be when the new version of Automation Tasks is out (the task for this is already done, but it will be part of a larger release). In the meantime, a single line of code is necessary.

Here’s a preliminary version.

That's really awesome @vitor and works well. Hopefully you'll be able to show a preview of non-image docs, as well (like MS Office docs).

 

Nice work!

That works for me. Are you sure the file you’re trying to preview still exists with that name in that location?

🤦‍♂️

I see now that the files I tested on were older and had not been downloaded from dropbox and icloud. I was trying to preview the pointer files. When I test files that have a local copy it works fine. 

 

Thanks again for great work.
