Does not work on El Capitan

[PEZO19]

I tried to install it QLStephen.qlgenerator many ways, I also tried to put the file in ~/Library/Quicklook and also in /Library/Quicklook, but does not work for me. Yes, I also tried qlmanage -r, and I tried to use only one of the Quicklook dirs at one time. It just does not work for me: if there is a file anywhere called README (or anything else, without an extension), my preview stays the original. :( I have really no idea.

If you run "qlmanage -d1 -p " you may get a clue what's going on.

In order to get help, you need to give more information.
For example, what did you do to produce this output?

An initial observation: the first line "Loading" should contain path to
generator file. It doesn't. We need to understand why.

Ah, now I see.

Qlmanage tries to preview the QLStephen generator file itself, which
points to a possible typing error. Again, how was the debug command issued?

Agree with @tomfado about needing more info. The latest release was developed, and the install process tested, on El Capitan.

What is your install method...

• Compile locally?
• Download compiled plugin?
• Homebrew?

[PEZO19]

@tomfado
Before, the previous debug command was :
(1)qlmanage -d1 -p ~/Library/QuickLook/QLStephen.qlgenerator which was kinda stupid.

Other QL stuff (for csv and for json) are working fine, instantly.
Now I tried:
(2)qlmanage -p -g ~/Library/QuickLook/QLStephen.qlgenerator ~/Desktop/README_example -c ''

Now it works with this command in debug mode forcing with -c '', but still not in Finder.

I got this output for the (2) command:

Testing Quick Look preview with files:
/Users/pezo/Desktop/README_example
- force using content type UTI:
- force using generator at path: /Users/pezo/Library/QuickLook/QLStephen.qlgenerator

@tsdorsey:
I tried 2 of 3:

• Download compiled plugin
• Homebrew

[tomfado]

@PEZ019 Again, try setting a debug level with option -d and scan output for clues. It seems you are the only one having a problem, therefore you need to give as much info as possible, ideally so it can be reproduced by others.

[tsdorsey]

@PEZO19 I ran command (2) on a file and I also see the error about the sandbox restriction. Looking into that it seems it has to do with text selection. As you said, the preview still works. However you won't be able to select text inside the preview.

Could you please run qlmanage -m plugins and paste the results here (or in a gist)?

Is your system language something other than english?

[vin047]

I had a similar issue (installed via homebrew, tried on both El Capitan and Sierra). Following #54 (comment) I saw that an application I had installed from the App Store (Paint 2.app in my specific case) was being loaded instead of this plugin. Removing the app and running qlmanage -r sorted the issue for me.

This link explains it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11705425/prefer-my-quicklook-plugin seems application generators are preferred over anything in ~/Library/QuickLook

[C0deH4cker]

I figured out how to resolve this issue. Run the command qlmanage -m plugins | grep public.data. If you don't see a line like public.data -> /Users/kevin/Library/QuickLook/QLStephen.qlgenerator (1.4.4 - loaded), then there is some other QuickLook plugin that claims to handle public.data types. You'll have to edit that app's QuickLook plugin's Info.plist and comment out the line(s) that declares support for public.data. After this, you'll need to run qlmanage -r again to get the QuickLook daemon to refresh its list of plugins and run the first command again. Repeat these steps until the entry for public.data is QLStephen. I had to do this twice, once for the Paint 2 app and once for the Datum SQLite app.

I follow this video and my issue has been solved

[xypd]

Ran into this issue with the kritaquicklook.qlgenerator plugin and @C0deH4cker solution worked great! Now I have both working as expected. Thanks.

[tsdorsey]

1.5.1 should works on macOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) - 10.15 (Catalina)
