Postbox QuickLook for attachements Workaround!
Hello,
I made a quicklook for attachements workaround. I made a little app, that will show QuickLook for everything that is opened with it.
You download it, copy it to your Applications folder and then in postbox double click an attachement. Postbox will ask your whether you want to open or download it. Select open and chose QuickLookIt as the app to open it with and check "Do this automatically for files like this from now on".
Your attachement will be downloaded an opened in QuickLookIt. You can also open multiple files, just as you are used to from Finder!
If you want to save an attachement, just right click it and select "Save...".
The only downside is that postbox automatically downloads those attachements to your Desktop. Does anyone know whether you can change this location?
Could someone who is good with graphics please make an icon for QuickLookIt and send it to me at Kimcha87 aaaaat gmail.com ?

Inappropriate?The problem isn't that we need a way to view downloaded attachments. It's that we don't want to have to download the attachments in the first place. With Quicklook I can view attachments without cluttering up my drive, needing to throw away worthless documents, etc.1 Comment

You have to download them before you can quicklook them. Apple's Mail.App just takes care of it in the background. -
Inappropriate?Yes I understand that problem. But what I wanted was a way to quickly look at attachements and Im sure a lot of other people want that too, so there it is :)

I am happy you like it :) I made a new version where the app doesnt stay in the Dock, but in the menubar, where you can quit it from.

Inappropriate?Not a real solution. Can't PostBox team integrate Quicklook like other mac applications?
I’m sad

we do have integrated quick look support like other mac applications. The API changed on 10.6 and mac apps are all trying to figure out how it works in 10.6 :).
