Please also add "blocked extensions" so we can add zip/rar/.tar.gz/.torrent/etc as these will download if you hover over them.

Just released swiftpreview 2.1 and we are now blocking common extensions. Check it out herehttp://blog.swiftpreview.com/post/31242655847/swiftpreview-2...

really neat tool. i like the shift option

Strange that the video is only 58 seconds long, but runs out for 2:08 with just the logo.

It's to fix youtube's weird thumbnail choosing algorithm

You can manually choose the thumbnail:

The days of gaming youtube thumbnails by putting in frames at the 50% mark are long gone..

Nice option, but not perfect. It still only gives you three thumbnails to choose from.

It even works on the reply links on this page, pretty neat.

Now we just need to get a parent link.

Maybe a bug ... hover over a download link (e.g. install on nodejs.org) and the file downloads.

Very much dig it. Very fast rendering of preview.

It is a bug, we will fix it asap.

This is great - a real time saver.
