WebM QuickLook 2.0: parametrized scroll wheel, trackpad gestures

New 2.0 version:

  • detects as it should if the preview is in the Finder panel, the background or in QuickLook,
  • introduces controls with the trackpad or the scroll wheel, configurable actions and sensitivity.
  • scale-fits the video when resizing the preview above 100%.
  • scale-fits the thumbnail in Finder, paused but playable if needed (e.g. gallery view.).
  • properly pauses and resumes like a .mov or .mp4,
  • has a new sample video.
  • has lowered requirements (From macOS 15 Sequoia down to Monterey 12).

WebM QuickLook 1.62: a proper Finder panel

Screen.Recording.2025-03-19.at.11.54.34.PM.webm

-Universal binary for all macOS versions above Monterey 12.4 up to and above current Sequoia 15.x, for both Silicon and Intel architectures.

Every releases are notarized, sandboxed and hardened to the maximum: Gatekeeper is happy.

Still unbeknownst why, on some machines, the finder panel refuses not to autoplay:
if that is the case, the previous version "Webm.Quicklook.2025Feb.anti-finder-auto-play.zip" with a different, simpler logic, prevents correctly this autoplay, at the tradeoff of not autoplaying the preceding video if you go back to it.
It does keep the position of the preceding video and you can click once on the video, or click the play button, or right-click 'play' to resume playing.
