Pressing F5

Thanks to the following post I have found out how to add helpful colours to directories and executable files in bash / terminal.

Add the following lines to your .bash_profile file in your home directory. Voila.

export CLICOLOR=1
export TERM=xterm-color

My answer to this questions was a big YES! Dug around the Internet and found the homepage of XDD(?).

In addition to his/her cool FLV QuickLook plugin he/she has also created a Folder and Archive plugin for QuickLook.

• Download and install Perian
• Simply drop the .qlgenerator file into “/Library/QuickLook”
• Type “killall Finder” on the command line in a terminal window (if you don’t know what this is simply reboot)
• Browse some .FLV files in Finder and you should be able to hit spacebar to bring up QuickLook – Voila!

My thanks go to XDD ;)
