Description

For all's convenience, please use English to fill this issue.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current behaviour is if you QuickLook a media file (e.g. an .mp3) which is part of an album or folder, it only plays that one file on repeat.

Describe the solution you'd like
An option to consider the folder a 'playlist' and cycle through the files in it as each media file finishes playing, rather than manually having to press up/down to move.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, if you QuickLook a folder (rather than a media file), the option cycle through that folder's media as a playlist would be amazing, and that way there isn't the issue of QuickLooking one file and having it focus on another.

Additional context
I understand this tips towards more of a media/music player app functionality, and this isn't what QuickLook is, but it'd still be a super handy feature that'd improve the experience, if you're up for it! Thanks!
