OSX QuickLook – fix all those broken things…
A 2023 UPDATE TO THIS CAN BE FOUND HERE!
Some amazing QuickLook extensions.
These are working for me on Mojave 10.14.3:
INSTALL BY:
1. copy the *.qlgenerator file to > /Library/QuickLook (system wide – all users) or ~/Library/QuickLook (for your user only)
2. in Terminal, >> qlmanage -r (to restart the QuickLookd)
or
Some have HOMEBREW single line install.
Quick Look (space bar) into:
TextClippings – HetimaClipping
*** now you can look into the “drag and drop text to finder clippings” to see their contents!!
ZIP FILES – BetterZip Quick Look Generator
*** no need to extract a ZIP to see its contents!
CODE formatting – qlcolorcode generator
*** formats and color codes BASH, C, PYTHON, etc… making it easy to preview!
CSV FILES – QuickLookCSV
*** shows CSV files as !!!! TABLES !!!! with row counts – excellent!
WAVEFORMS for WAV, AIF, MP3 !! – QLWaveForm
**** ADDS WAVEFORM to the audio preview for audio files
VIDEO FILES – QLVideo
1 | brew cask install qlvideo |
**** allows many more video formats for QuickLook
**** those that it cannot play, it will try to show screen shots
IMAGE FILES – qlImageSize
1 | brew cask install qlimagesize |
**** will add the image dimensions to the title of the preview image!
