Description

I would like to request a feature. I am a mac user that recently made the jump to PC. On the macI used the quicklook functionality all the time for quickly reviewing my notes (txt / rtf files). Now I am using this app for this functionality and it works great and snappy some files are not previewed properly. I have basically 2 feature requests:

  • for previewing txt files, add the option to remove the line numbers. I find these very distracting (as a non programmer, I just want to read my notes ;) )

  • (less important, but would be nice) option to render rtf file 'correctly' with all the bold, italic and font sizes etc correctly displayed.

Hope you guys will read this and it would be awesome if this would be implemented.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the text-file preview implementation and determine where line numbers are added; confirm that a user option can suppress them without changing the default. Treat rich RTF rendering as a separate, lower-priority request and verify the text-preview behavior manually.
