Research direction

The issue names Peek and requests previews for GrahPad, ChemDRAW, and NMR/MNova files, but mentions no file paths, tests, extensions, or implementation entry point. Start by identifying the supported formats and how Peek integrates preview handlers. Done means the requested scientific files can be previewed reliably on Windows.

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The type of files that Peek can preview is very limited. For example, for the scientific research community it would be very useful if Peek could also preview files from GrahPad, ChemDRAW, NMR (mnova file), among others.

Scenario when this would be used?

Peek should be a quick and easy way to preview files on a Windows, which try to do the same thing as the Preview on MacOS (very very useful feature). However, as can be seen, there is almost no difference between Peek and the preview panel that we can already see on Windows, since the type of program thhat can be preview is almost the same.
