Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As an IT-sysadmin, I want to be able to whitelist allowed file extensions. There are some file extensions that should for security reasons not be run, since this can be an attack vector, some files types are safer to preview than others.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want a simple white/black list of what file extensions are allowed/disallowed to be previewed by quicklook. This could be in a setting page if you right-click on the quicklook symbol. (In this page could be also listed what files type are currently able to be previewed.)

Additional context
This would be a great security feature.
