Re: Tell preview pane to... preview a known "normal" text file

>> to make some simple app to manage this

There is one already, written by me sometime ago. See:

Hello,

I've been searching around and I haven't find (for my surprise) the
following question. How can I make the "preview pane" to preview, some well
known text files? What I want is to be able to preview PHP, CSS, JS etc
files. These are known simple text files, and it would be great to have a
glimpse of whats inside before opening it.

Is there a way? Maybe some regedit hack?

I also leave the suggestion, to make some simple app to manage this (as long
with the changing of filetype icons, instead of going into regedit)

Thanks in advanced,
