how to disable qtz preview in finder

jrs's picture

Hi All,

Is there some way to disable the preview of qtz files when the finder is in column view? pre lion you had the option of minimizing the preview pane in the last column to only display the file meta data (name, kine, size etc) but in Lion your forced to view a render of the currently selected file.

I find this super annoying as I often tend to forget about it and end up with two instances of the composition running which with large compositions grinds things to a halt. Its also a pain in the butt to start a composition, go back to finder, click a different file and then go back to QC.

I seem to remember some input field you could use that gets set to true when its a preview but I can't find it anywhere.

Cheers James

A second instance of the viewer window

Hey!

I'd like to create a second viewer window for compositions, to have a small representation of my compositions.

I think the Quartz Performer is a good example of what i'm looking for, but the preview window should be positioned in the original viewer window. (a "floating" stand alone version might also be possible.

I'm trying to get results by looking at the Quartz Perfomer sources, but it hasn't really worked so far. too sad the interface builder is a bit too cheesy to go the easy way, ;)

of course one could create the same patches etc in one comp, only smaller, but that would be a performance killer i think..

who has an idea?

take care.
