'nomacs' image viewer in need of help
First off, I am in no way affiliated with nomacs so this isn't an official cry for help or anything (though there's been some in the past, more below). I'm just a user who really likes its light weight and plethora of features enough to hate to see it die out, but isn't proficient enough in either C++ or Qt to help much.

Windows Photo App Blown Out
Yep, had same issue. Doesn't seem to be a solid fix, so I ended up downloading nomacs. https://nomacs.org/ Crazy lightweight, and supports file formats that photo viewer can't. Also nice having almost zero lag when opening images, or scrolling forward AND backwards while in the program.

need an image viewer
I usually recommend nomacs. It looks like qView is even more minimalist, but I have not tried that yet.

Powertoys Peek - does this feature need to be included natively in future version of Windows?
yes

PowerToys Release 0.70 with Mouse Without Borders and PowerToys Peek
I meant this one
I hope you can look at the features of QuickLook because like the guy above said, it's currently vastly superior :)

How do you all feel about Windows?
There is QuickLook for Windows although is not as good as the macOS one: https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook
- Preview exel and word without have it installed, like a pdf file, no edition, just to visualise.

Whatever happened to Peek for Powertoys?
You can use QuickLook in the meantime.

Lightweight, offline, documents viewer (mainly PDF, PPT, Word)
QuickLook is pretty useful. It is basically the Windows Version of MAC's QuickLook.
-
File-Explorer that can display Readme.md files.
I've been using QuickLook for years, functions just like Preview in macOS (hitting the spacebar after selecting a file pops open a window with the content): https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook

Photoshop shows different colors and my gradients are ruined, all of this happened overnight. But everywhere else, the file preview's colors are correct. Do you know any reason? Is this related to the Pantone thing?
Why does the Quicklook app show the correct colors and photoshop doesn't?
