Hey QTTab'ers, QTTabBar does support .webp on mouse hover preview...

I really love the QTTabBar mouse hover preview (used it only for images). I have searched a lot to find something similar with no success. Before that I used SageThumbs, which worked OK with windows 10 but not updated for 11. I wonder if there is any way to extract and use the mouse hover preview option only and use it without installing QTTabBar (this should be probably a dll that needs to be registerd and set to load with windows) or if there is something similar to use on windows 11!?

Best I can suggest is to run the standalone version of QTTabBar, version 1038, if you can still find it!

QuickLook is another but it's a bit of a pain as selection of items is glitchy and you have to use the Spacebar to view the items...

Thanks a lot for your reply Edwin,
I was able to find few links for QTTabBar 1038, but unfortunately no standalone version!
I finally installed QuickLook which is OK, but not as good and practical as QTTabBar. I
don't mind pressing space to preview the file, but I also need to select the file (no mouse hover)
At this point (two click actions) , it's maybe easier to just open the file itself :)

I wonder if it's not possible to install QTTabbar and disable ALL it's functions, except the preview!?
I will try to install it on VMware and see what I can do with it.

I constantly use it for quick reference on text files and images...

haha, stop showing it off as it makes me want it even more and I can't have it 🫣
This is a VERY useful feature that someone skilled has to make as a standalone program for windows.

Yes it is!
I'll see if I can invoke a chat with Quizo! ;-)

Why not??? 🤷‍♂️

Heck, you can even scroll on mouse hover, with the aid of the numerical keypad...

Thought you might find this useful, although, I don't know if it works on all versions!

Has anyone else been having issues after the latest major Windows 11 update a few days back?
After that update File explorer won't even open and I'm assuming Qttabbar has finally been broken after all these years of working near flawlessly :(
I don't want to uninstall Qttabbar just in case it's something else.

Is the QuizoApps version or the version the other guy made that forked it?
I'm using the Quizo version 1038.

With the aid of StartAllBack, QTTabBar and a handful of minor tweaks, everything is functioning as it should!
