Just checking over the list of supported files, does it preview just plain .txt files at all?
.txt or plain text files without extension are supported.
@Nies221 @Moxvallix
Do you use the info from 'file' command (api) ?
To get the size of archives and folders:
os.stat(filename).st_size # for folders you have to use it together with os.walk()
To get the list of files inside an archive I use the zipfile, rarfile and tarfile modules.
For the file type, I either extract the extension from the name or I use a bash command via subprocess:file --mime-type filepath
subprocess is used if there is no extension (as often happens with text files).
I preferred to use subprocess to avoid having to increase the number of dependencies needed.
Sweet.
What'd help with spreading this app more is if you could create a one-click installable package for less experienced users
