It is time to disclose some interesting information. After 3 months of development I am glad to announce a new utility for KDE - KLook. KLook is an utility that allows you "quickly" look at your files (yes, it is a practically exact copy of MacOS X QuickLook utility). You can use it directly from the Dolphin file manager by pressing a 'Space' key on the your keyboard. KLook is designed to be fast and simple.
Let's see on it on screenshots and video.

| In gallery view you can see files in different formats |
 |
| KLook can play video files |
As you can see on the screens, you can use KLook to see photo, video and text files, supported formats:
- jpg, png;
- all video files (that Phonon supports);
- txt.
Later we plan to add support of PDF files.
Also, as you can see we use buttons on the window decorations. Really it is not KWin, it is independent panel. We created "our window" because KWin does not allows to add arbitrary buttons into window decorations area. Thus, KLook looks practically like QuickLook from MacOS X. :)
And last, but not least, we created a small video that allows you to see KLook in action.
KLook will be included in the next update of ROSA Desktop. Follow the news!
P.S All your wishes please write as comment for this post or send me to email.
