Description

Thank you for an excellent piece of software. The speed and minimal interface is great.

Feature request 1: Scrubbing
It would be great if the user could scrub back and forth in the timeline of the media (click and drag). A lot of video content creators and animators use that feature on Mac QuickLook.

Feature request 2:
It would be great if you could display the waveform of an audio file, such as .wav or .mp3. This would allow the user to quickly navigate to the relevant section in the audio without needing to listen for longer than necessary - an important productivity enhancement for creative professional.

Thanks again and stay safe!

Research direction

The issue requests two features—timeline scrubbing for media and waveform previews for .wav or .mp3 files—but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the media timeline and audio preview paths in QuickLook, then define separate completion checks for drag navigation and useful waveform display.
