No longer working in macOS Sequoia

[stefaniecg]

The command qlmanage -m does not list any file managed by QLStephen.qlgenerator.
And files who were previously managed by the QLStephen.qlgenerator do not work anymore.

What can i do to restore it?

Thank you for the help you can provide.

Hello, i think the problem in macOS Sequoia is that all QuickLook generators are located in : ~/Library/System/QuickLook/ and i cannot copy the QLStephen.qlgenerator to that directory, even with sudo, it says that the operation is not permitted.

Does any one know how can i over come this?
Thank you for your help!

Use this as an alternative: https://github.com/chamburr/glance
OSX hanged quite a lot under the hood so that the old generators are sadly no longer working.

@kakulukia, thank you for this recommendation.
I downloaded it, i was about to edit the Info.plist file to add my file's kMDIIteContentType.
As far as i understood, i need to added under QLSupportedContentTypes, but there is no such field listed in my current Info.plist.
Do i simply add it? could you clarify what is the syntax?
Thanx

I did not add any custom file types. Can't help if their docs don't tell you how to do it.

Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to work with flat files in general, but only with a handful of recognized file types.
