you might be able to create a new file type associated with kuickshow if
there isn't one already. create a file with the directory in it and
name it with .ksw or something. then create a wrapper shell script that
takes a file name, parses out the contents of the file to get the
directory and calls quickshow.

#!/bin/sh

WHAT=$1

if [ -r "$WHAT" ] ; then
  DIR=`cat $WHAT`
  if [ -d "$DIR" ] ; then
    kuickshow $DIR
  fi
fi

that's a function of quickshow. google and look at the options. can
you run kuickshow --help?
