What's New in Quick Markdown Viewer
1.7
June 15, 2026
This update improves folder context in the reader and adds structured JSON-family reading: - Show the full folder path in the header for files opened from nested folders - Keep the selected file's ancestor folders visible above the scrolling file sidebar - Open JSON, JSONC, NDJSON, and JSONL files in a collapsible structured viewer - View JSON-family fenced blocks inside Markdown with source/viewer controls - Keep original source line numbers visible while expanding, collapsing, and reading pretty JSON rows - Quick Look previews now support JSON-family files with bounded native previews - `qmv /path/to/file` on macOS now cold-starts directly to the file's parent folder with that file selected - App-level file opens now cover Markdown, Mermaid, JSON-family files, CSV/TSV tables, and folders
