#### TC Quick Preview - Fast File Browser & Spacebar Multi-Format Previewer

TC Quick Preview is a fast desktop file browser and Spacebar instant multi-format file previewer for Linux, starting directly in your real home directory.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by PowerToys Peek for instant keyboard-driven file inspection across desktop folders.

Key Features:

* Fast File Browser & Spacebar Peek Overlay: Navigate real directories and mounted filesystems (/proc/mounts, os.statvfs), filter files live, and press Spacebar to pop up an instant keyboard-navigable preview window.
* Real Image & RGB Histogram Inspector: Render PNG, JPEG, WebP, BMP, GIF, and ICO files via Pillow with interactive zoom (Fit to 400%), 90-degree rotation, exact pixel dimensions, channel statistics, and a live 256-bin RGB + Luminance histogram.
* Source, Text, Markdown & JSON Preview: Inspect UTF-8/Latin-1 code, configuration files, gzip-compressed logs, validated pretty-printed JSON, and rendered or raw line-numbered Markdown.
* Real Archive Entry Browser: List real entries, sizes, compression ratios, CRC-32 checksums, and permissions inside .zip, .whl, .jar, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, and .deb archives, with safe extraction and archive creation.
* PCM WAV Header & Waveform Plotter: Read real RIFF/WAVE PCM headers (channels, sample rate, bit depth, duration, peak/RMS dBFS) and plot the real audio waveform envelope.
* Binary Hex / ASCII & SHA-256 Inspector: Paged 16-column Hex + ASCII viewer, ELF64/file-magic header identification, 256-value byte distribution chart, Shannon entropy, and streaming SHA-256, SHA-1, MD5, and CRC32 checksum verification, plus CSV/JSON/TXT report export.
* Bilingual English & Vietnamese dark-themed interface with one-click language switching.
