Description

If I launch the program from windows explorer by pressing space, I can go to next or prev file by arrow key or another way. Doing so I see quick view of the next or prev file. QuickView window is synchronized to windows explorer file list. I can quickly look thru content bunch of files.

But if I use QuickView in my favorite file manager, I should call the program on every file directly. I can't see bunch of files by arrow keys, I must open the program on first file, close it, go to next file, launch the program, close, go to next file.

Please, add a way to go to next\prev file being launched from command line, not only from windows explorer.

Saying by another words, I want something like total commander quick view via my file manager plus QuickView.

Research direction

Start by tracing how command-line launches are handled and how QuickView obtains the Windows Explorer file list and responds to next/previous navigation. Compare those paths and define a way for a file-manager launch to retain the surrounding file list; done means opening one file allows browsing adjacent files with the arrow keys.
