Use QuickLook and Power Mode

Help & Support
1

I want to send the first selected file to QuickLook and I am using Power Mode in my listers. I created a command like so:

full_path_to_QuickLook.exe {file}

And I assigned a hotkey to it, F12.

Unfortunately, when I call this command with the hotkey, any selected files in the active lister are deselected and QuickLook responds with its boilerplate message that indicates it's already running.

(BTW, I noticed the same happens when I use a built-in command like Copy Files to the destination lister - the selected file is deselected.)

Any way to accomplish what I want without giving up Power Mode?
Thanks!

PS. I am evaluating version 13.6 before (re)purchase

You probably want {filepath$} instead of {file}.

Add a line with @nodeselect to prevent the file being deselected.

Hi, those options are working, thanks! I am still playing with the power mode options to get the best "fit" for me but at least my command is working well.

Power Mode only changes how the mouse and keyboard works, for people who want something that isn't the standard Windows behavior you get from Details mode.

Everything in this thread works in all modes, not just Power.
