They should spin off the old Edge as a reincarnation of Reader from Windows 8.
It was a great app and I hoped it would become as versatile as Preview on Mac.
It was annoying when I double clicked a EPUB (or PDF) it would open the browser and sometimes all my tabs from last session would open and in most cases just the EPUB would open and I lose the previous browsing session.
This needs to be a dedicated app separate from the browser. I hope they have something in the works.
- liability 7y agoDoes windows have anything analogous to quicklook? That's one feature I think Apple did well with.. though it's obnoxious it can no longer be extended to support non-MPEG-LA video formats... I've experimented with using mpv controlled over json IPC as a FOSS substitute to quicklook, which works well for media but not documents...
- filmgirlcw 7y agoBoth QuickLook and Seer do this and both have plugins making it much more akin to the Quick Look circa Leopard and Snow Leopard. QuickLook is more actively maintained but both are very good.

- dgellow 7y agoYep, I recently moved to windows 10 for my personal machine and as looking for equivalent to macOS features. QuickLook just work, and has even more options than the version from macOS
