📝 Provide a description of the new feature

File Explorer preview feature to assign my own simple previewer (or reassign an existing one) for ANY file type. Eg: *.url files -- I'd like to reassign the preview to simply look at the text of the file. Now THAT would be useful my friends. Instead, I get just SVG and MD previews... that's like promising a meal and getting a plate with a peanut in the middle. Also, btw, techrepublic said it would do PDF preview - but doesn't.


If you'd like to see this feature implemented, add a 👍 reaction to this post.

That could be possible but i'd group this in with the #1527 idea since that itself would have to do a lot of dynamic registry work

We should be able to see the files with code (python, ruby, css, js ,...) with the colors as a vim color and format preview
