Hi, I have released a program similar to Apple's Quick Look. (lemmy.world)

It is a very simple program that allows you to have a quick overview of the contents of some files.

The program requires some python libraries and I have made a list of those needed for some distributions. they are generally always the same, just the names change a little.

instructions reference INSTALL.sh but that’s not in the source? Maybe only in the release tarball?

I added it to the repository: https://github.com/Nyre221/dolphin-quick-view/tree/main/package%20creation

does it clear the user’s entire clipboard history each time it’s run?

I made some changes and now it doesn't delete all the history, only the last thing copied (afterwards try to restore it but it doesn't work if you copied a folder or file): https://github.com/Nyre221/dolphin-quick-view/blob/main/package%20creation/quick_view_package/dolphin_quick_view_shortcut.sh

this is caused by dolphin's limitations and there's not much I can do about it.

would it make sense to package this up for PyPI, with system deps being checked for and reported from within python? If so, are you interested in pull requests?

I don't think it makes much sense for this application.
For now I'm trying to integrate the modules inside a .pyz and eliminate the use of pip: https://github.com/Nyre221/dolphin-quick-view/issues/10
