Description

Adds an container to the list of files to preview.
If you have an existing file, better use QLPreviewPanel.AddFile function.
The container can contain a file supported by QuickLook for previewing.

Either we use file path from FileMaker's external container storage directly or we write a temporary file, which is cleared later when app quits or panel is cleared.

Examples

Show containers:

# Prepare
If [ MBS("QLPreviewPanel.IsVisible") ]
    Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("QLPreviewPanel.Hide") ]
End If
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("QLPreviewPanel.Clear") ]
#
# Add all containers you have
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("QLPreviewPanel.AddContainer"; PlaceHolder::Container; "Stratocaster") ]
#
# Run it!
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("QLPreviewPanel.Show") ]
