Introduction

In the web profile of DeepSeek Harness (DSH), the right-side aionui panel is used for file preview. viewboost is a DSH plugin maintained by AlexCHONG8. Its goal is to add several common file operation buttons to the preview panel’s toolbar and a Token usage card in the bottom left.

The following introduces its positioning, features, installation method, typical usage, and platform/usage considerations.

Plugin Positioning

  • Plugin Name: AlexCHONG8/dsh-viewboost
  • Maintainer: AlexCHONG8
  • License: MIT
  • Installation Type: DSH web profile plugin
  • Main Capabilities: Adds “Show in Finder”, “Fullscreen”, “Copy Path”, and “Copy File” buttons to the right-side preview panel, and provides a Token usage card.
  • Notes: Does not modify the source code of any third-party plugins.

Core Features

Toolbar Buttons

After opening any file in the file tree on the right, the preview toolbar will display 4 icon buttons.

  1. Show in Finder
    Selects the currently previewed file in macOS Finder using open -R.

  2. Fullscreen
    Switches the preview panel to fullscreen; press Esc to exit.

  3. Copy Path
    Copies the absolute path of the file.

  4. Copy File
    Puts the file reference into the clipboard; paste it in Finder by pressing Cmd+V.

Token Usage Card

The Token usage card in the bottom left is used to view usage information.

The card displays:
- Usage over the last 5 hours
- Usage today
- Usage this week

If a MiniMax-related key is configured, the card can also display the MiniMax quota status.

Installation and Activation

Prerequisite: You must have a DSH web profile.

Install using the following command:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:AlexCHONG8/dsh-viewboost

After installation, restart DSH to make the plugin effective:

dsh web

The plugin is automatically mounted with the profile and does not require clicking “Run” in the Cordis panel every time, unlike dynamic plugins.

Typical Usage

  1. Open any file in the DSH right-side file tree, and the preview toolbar will display 4 icon buttons.
  2. Click “Show in Finder”; Finder pops up and selects the file.
  3. Click “Copy Path”; the full file path is copied.
  4. Click “Copy File”; the file is put into the clipboard; switch to Finder and press Cmd+V to paste, which is equivalent to copying the file.
  5. Click “Fullscreen” to enter fullscreen preview; press Esc to exit.
  6. Check the Token usage card in the bottom left.

Optional Configuration: MiniMax Quota

If you need the MiniMax quota status, write configuration to ~/.dsh/viewboost.env with file permissions 0600.

You can write:

MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY=your-key

Or:

MINIMAX_API_KEY=your-key

After configuration, the Token usage card can display the MiniMax quota status.

Supported Platforms and Notes

  • Requires a DSH web profile; the target is the aionui right panel layout.
  • macOS has the most complete features; Finder display and file reference clipboard are both available.
  • On Linux / Windows, Copy Path, Fullscreen, and the Usage Card are available; Finder-related buttons automatically degrade.
  • The plugin executes file path, copy, and other local operations with the current DSH process permissions; you should check the source code before installing and ensure the MIT license meets your requirements.

Conclusion

The value of viewboost is quite direct: it consolidates common file operations on the right-side preview panel into the toolbar and conveniently provides a Token usage card. The repository address is as follows:
