Description

Describe the bug

Opening a file through the 'Open With' action leaves QuickLook open. This behaviour is not present with the 'Open with [application]' action.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Preview a file using QuickLook
  2. Click on 'Open With'
  3. Select desired application
  4. See behaviour

Expected behavior

I would expect the QuickLook window to close just like when opening the file through its default application button.

Desktop:

  • OS Version: Windows 11 OS Build 22621.1194
  • QuickLook Version: 3.7.3 from GitHub
