Description
I know that this has been on the roadmap for quite a while (three years from now, if I remember correctly) but I'd still like to raise awareness to this (massively under implemented) feature.
Currently, virtually all files are shown as icons in preview panel. This includes PDFs, TXTs, and some low hanging ones like PNGs and GIFs. I've been a long-time user of FL and it seems like this feature has been almost forgotten since it was briefly played with at the beginning.
I found out recently that Windows Search is capable of rendering multiple formats despite people's generally negative sentiment towards it. I'd love to see Flow Launcher slowly moving towards it as well since this is one of the biggest feature disparities between FL and Spotlight search.
Frankly it doesn't even have to be perfect or efficient at the beginning. Even a Webview preview panel would cut it as long as it's there and functional.
