Oh my god THANK YOU.

I have been searching for this for a year. Forum discussion usually come out to “why would you need that?” I work in media and have to look at an enormous amount of video and photo content, quick look is an absolute necessity!

Honestly one of the most frustrating responses in the tech community.

I think it’s the only reasonable response.

I don’t know what quick look is, but you file explorer has file previews yes? Why are they not sufficient? How does quick look differ?

If file thumbnails are not sufficient, you can open the file to look at it yes? Why is it not sufficient? How does quick look differ?

Like, if you don’t give me an explanation of the problem and how the envisioned solution fixes it, how can I evaluate pros and cons and potentially implement it?

If you can’t or are not willing to answer very simple questions on a product you are wishing for / requesting, how can anybody reason about it and help making it happen, or support the cause for its creation?

Not pointing fingers at anyone by the way, just explaining why this response is so common and why, in my opinion, perfectly reasonable.

Asking why is not synonym with “no, use ” and more about “in which way is failing to provide a solution?”

I disagree. I think it's often mistaken for derision when in reality it's a request for a better description of the use case.
