Make viewing downloads faster with Quick Look

Quick Look Droplet

Props to Mac OS X Hints for a great tip that allows you to preview all of your downloads automatically using Quick Look. This can all be accomplished with just two simple steps and a couple minutes of your time.

All you need to do is download and install the Quick Look Droplet. Upon installing it go into the settings for your browser of choice and change the browser preference for automatically opening files types (mp3s, PDFs, Word docs, etc.) to open with the Quick Look Droplet rather than Preview, Quicktime, etc. Changing from opening in regular apps to opening with Quick Look helps speed up things, especially with PDFs and Word documents.

Download the Quick Look Droplet here.
