Quick Look Files in the Trash

Picture 1.jpg

It used to be that in order to look at files from the trash, you would have to drag everything out and open each file. It took Apple 4 iterations of OS X to get it right but they’ve finally fixed this glaring issue. As the title suggests, you can use Quick Look to look at files that are in the trash. Just highlight the file and hit the Space Bar.

Astute reader Miki pointed out a solution for those still using Tiger. Drag the file from the trash over the appropriate program icon in the Dock and drop them there by holding Command + Option
