display text file preview or first few characters from file

Post by dmikester1 »

I would love to see an option that displays a preview of a text file on hover, so I can quickly browse through multiple text files to see what is in them. Even better would be an option to have the first few characters of a text file show up in the file details list along with name, type, size, date modified, etc. Or at the very least, click the file once and preview it in a different pane. All of those would be quicker than opening each file one by one to see what is in them.

But this does seem like a pretty cool alternative to Windows Explorer.
Thanks!
Mike
