Trigger PowerToys Peek?

Post by dggfanclub »

I know XYplorer has it's own preview window popup, but I enjoy the PowerToys implementation a bit more. Does anyone have a way to trigger Peek through XYplorer and then navigate the list/preview (up/down)? I've located the Peek exe and tried passing images to it via cmd prompt but no luck. There has to be a way to trigger it outside of Explorer...

Probably not. Seems like it gets the current file via COM from Windows Explorer.

Maybe take a look at QuickLook: https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook

It would work (= I could make it work) if you could pass it a target window handle.
