Was just looking at your video again: <https://vid.me/zgCa>. Your Preview as PDF option is really a lot like QuickLook, though slower and limited, I would assume, to documents (as opposed to videos, zip files, etc.). OS X has QuickLook. I show this in my video just to show how the details of the files: <https://youtu.be/QkCcg0TeDp4> Curious if your system has anything like that. Also curious of your take on Peter's claim that the PDF tools you show are pretty much just like OS X's PDF Services even though they literally handle NONE of the use-cases I talked about for PDF Services (viewing a web page and wanting to save it as a PDF into a receipts or recipes or other common folder, working with a word processing document and wanting to email it to someone as a PDF - with or without a user-set name, etc.). Not that these things cannot be done on Linux. They can. But your tools would not likely be a part of the workflow... you would more likely save print them as PDF to the folder you wanted or to the desktop (or wherever) and use them as an attachment. The ironic thing is on OS X your work would be more likely to be used in an alternate workflow - it is easier to get to the containing folder of a open document (as least as far as I know - open to being shown wrong). In that case someone might jump to the containing folder, convert it, then email it or whatever. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>
