Windows file preview OR Mac OS preview settings

[Rastalovich]

With either of these, u bring up the filelisting and have a preview of the media file. Whether it be in explorer or finder, u can have a snapshot or brief run of what the file is.

My question is, is there a way to change or decide, for both of these, which part of the media it displays ?

No because if you set it to preview at 5 minutes, and the file is 2 minutes long, you've got problems.

Meant rather more like just the starting position.

Even if u could set a preview to 5 mins, it'd be a good idea for the programmer of it to make it the period upto 5 mins, whichever is achievable. But agreed, u can't rely on such things these days.
