Folder Preview — [

Folder Preview is a tiny app that fixes a weird Finder limitation: Quick Look works on files, but not folders. After you set it up once, you can preview folder contents (and zip files) directly from Finder or Spotlight.

Pros

+Adds Quick Look-style previews for folders and zip files
+Works from Finder and Spotlight
+Cheap one-time purchase ($2)

Cons

-Very specific utility
-Only matters if you use Quick Look a lot
