It doesn't work worth anything. The only thing I've found quick view to actually be useful for is to use it on .exe files to see their dependencies and other details.

Oh, and the fact that you can't copy (text or anything) or print from Quick View makes it about as useful as... well... pick any useless thing. -Nathaniel <p>================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
