Frequently Asked Questions
|
| |
Why not to play music too?
In its current state, the QuickLook technology only enables
one media per file: it's either visual or audio. A request for
improvement has been sent to Apple.
Why some file formats are
properly displayed, and some other not?
QuickLook scans the plug-ins in the following order:
- First, in the Library/QuickLook folder of the application
bundle
- Then, in the Library/QuickLook folder of the current user
- Last, in the Library/QuickLook folder of the system
Maybe you have another plug-in at a higher priority level, that
claims to manage the same kind of files.
How to know to which plug-in a
file format is related?
Under Terminal, enter "qlmanage -m"
How to ask QuickLook to reset the
relations between file formats and plug-ins?
Under Terminal, enter "qlmanage -r"
How to relate a file format to a
specific plug-in?
In its current state, the QuickLook technology doesn't
enable this. A request for improvement has been sent to Apple.
