So, coming throughout what QLStephen may do, I brewed it without delay within the hopes of getting the Fast Look performance for many of the “text-based” information, because it advertises. Nevertheless, to my disappointment, nothing was affected. I discovered short-term aid to seek out that the precise situation had been mentioned right here, however the steered troubleshooting did not assist. Here is what all I did:
-
Ran
brew set up qlstephen
which put inQLStephen.qlgenerator
in~/Library/QuickLook
. Fast Look did not preview any extra information than these for which it was already working with out QLStephen. Particularly, the entire hidden information in my person listing are nonetheless non-preveiwable. These embrace:.bash_history
,
.CFUserTextEncoding
,
.gitconfig
,
.lesshst
,
.profile
,
.python_history
,
.Rhistory
,
.viminfo
,
.Xauthority
,
.zprofile
,
.zsh_history
,
.zshrc
,
mbox
-
[cf. the troubleshooting post mentioned above] The UTI of every of the information listed above is
public.information
, and QLStephen is meant to behave on these, however nope! -
[cf. Permissions (Quarantine) on the GitHub page for QLStephen] Ran
sudo xattr -cr ~/Library/QuickLook/QLStephen.qlgenerator
,qlmanage -r
andqlmanage -r cache
adopted by relaunching Finder. Nonetheless nothing. -
[cf. Trouble on the GitHub page for QLStephen] Ran
qlmanage -m
and could not discoverpublic.information
, indicating that “a special utility’sqlgenerator
file hasn’ttaken priority”. Now the subsequent troubleshooting steps are in no way clear—they only point out to edit some information, however not what to edit. -
Tried
brew reinstall qlstephen
ample instances, however nonetheless, nothing budged.
