    Hi everyone,
    I'm developing a free opensource QuickLook for linux in openGL (c++) it is a coverflow for see the in a fast way the files without opening them,

    There are the links for download, screencast and launchpad page:

    Blog: http://gloobus.wordpress.com/
    Launchpad: http://launchpad.net/gloobus
    Screenshots: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gloobus
    Screencasts: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=badchoice
    External Downloads: https://edge.launchpad.net/gloobus/+download


    DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...harset=UTF%2d8


    Now I have it in a very good way but there are a couple of things I would like to do and I don't know how, maybe you can help me.

    First one: How to bind space key in nautlius to launch my own nautilus-script (this will be used for bind space key to preview file)

    Second : How to add a button on the toolbar that lauches my own nautilus-script (this will be used for launch folder coverflow)

    If anyone of you know how to do this It will be one of the remaining points solved!

    Some information about:Now I can preview, any kind of images, any kind of plain text files and pdf. It supports mp3 (album coverts and song preview)
    and I'm working on video files support and plugin architecture.

    I also would like to know your ideas so this way we can make it beat apples one!!!!

    Thank you!

    Thanks for posting about it here. You might want to mention "Cover Flow" in the title.

    It would be good if there was a way to navigate into to a folder shown in cover flow.

    Also it might be better to cache only the first 20 or so images in a folder with many images.

    It doesn't currently work well with PNGs, no problems with jpgs.

    Keep up the good work

    Re: Gloobus, a QuickLook for linux

    Yes, there are still a lot of things to do...

    Now I'll add coverflow on the title so it will be easy for the people to know what is it about!!

    I've planned to load only 20 images every time, but now I'm developing the plugin architecture to make it more modular and easyest to find the bugs and solve them (like the pngs one, or the blanc shapes), plus this way everyone can develop his onw preview plugin! I'm doing it givint total liberty for the plugins so each one can do whatever they want!!

    I'll post on launchpad and here when the next version is ready!

    Thanks !

    Re: Gloobus, a QuickLook for linux

    It looks really nice. Great work so far. I really liked that idea when I first saw it on a mac. Although I would probably mostly use it to play around and not for productivity

    So far I see you have to activate the gloobus mode through rightclicking a file. Are there any plans to include the gloobus mode as part of the nautilus window? So just can just activate or deactive it like the status- or sidebar of nautilus?

    Yes, it's planned to integrate it with nautilus, I'm talking with nautilus developers to see if we can achieve this.

    That looks pretty promising. Good luck with the project and the Nautilus integration.
