I never knew…
…that if you hover your mouse over an audio file in nautlius, it starts playing the file for as long as your mouse is over it.
[Couldn't capture the mouse as well, for some reason - but just try it yourself]
Pure genius for previewing music files, pure genius. Maybe I should have asked myself why that speech bubble appears a long time ago, but hey, you learn something every day.
Update: This seems to be an option in Nautilus’ preferences, under the ‘Preview’ tab. Mine was already set to ‘Local files only’, but since some people don’t seem to have it working, you may need to turn it on. I guess you’d also need the right codecs, of course.
Is that a Hardy thing? It doesn’t work for me on my Gutsy machine.
Definately works on Gutsy
I was surprised as well when I found it, I was just hovering over an MP3 file pondering when it started playing !
