Description
Hello,
It would be nice to add Windows ARM support! QuickLook currently runs through Prism emulation mode (translated from x64), but the experience would be smoother if a native build were available.
Over the last year, the introduction of Windows 11 Arm-based laptops has transformed the PC landscape, and laptops with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon® X Series processors represent a rapidly growing segment of the PC market.
Thank you in advance!
