Suggestion- Quicklook Plugin

Anyone ever come across a Quicklook plugin which would allow you to quickly browse the contents of an FCP project from the Finder? It'd be a great idea for someone smarter than me to write if it doesn't already exist. Ideally, it would simply allow you to see what you see in the FCP Browser, from the FInder, using Quicklook. Can't be that hard, based on the other Quicklook plugins I'm already using.

No no - I mean that you could click the project icon, hit the space bar, and see the Browser contents - so you could identify "hey where is that one little sequence I did for that project, is it in this project or that project?" Like the way the Quicklook zip plugin can see inside the contents of a zip archive. It'd be really handy.

Fireworks QuickLook plugin?

I would love to see a QuickLook plugin that could preview the pages within a Fireworks PNG file. I often have many pages in a single document, and it would be a huge time saver to be able to "QuickLook" them - much like you can when viewing a PDF file.
Does anyone know of this plugin, or know a developer who could make one? I know a lot of folks that would gladly pay for it. Or, if it could be included in the next FW release, that would be even better
I have attached a quick mockup showing the concept. Thanks for any help / answers!

This is a request which we got after the introduction of Pages feature in CS3 release. We have tried to work on it a bit and included the Page preview feature in CS5 release, but that is built within the product and not as an OS utility.
We extended this functionality of allowing to merge different pages of a file by inserting individual pages from different pages in multiple Fw png files.

Looking for newer Office.qlgenerator quicklook plugin

I am looking for a newer version of the Office.qlgenerator quicklook plugin. It displays Word documents, though very poorly. I have version 2.0, dated 2009. I am running 10.6.8.

To the best of my knowledge, the Office QuickLook plugin is not available separately. The only way I know of to get a later version is to get a newer version of Mac OS X. If you're having problems with Word documents not appearing, though, perhaps this will help:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57355404-263/fixing-quick-look-issues-in-os -x/
Note that even in the latest QuickLook plugin for Office, documents are not always correctly formatted. So depending on your specific issue, this may not be something you can solve.

Anyone know of a Lion-compatible Quicklook plugin for Illustrator CS5 files?

The Lion update seems to have hosed the plugin I had, which worked OK under 10.6. Thanks!

Thanks for this suggestion. I have tried SneakPeek Pro without success. The installer ran, created a plugin and a preference pane, but invoking QuickLook for Illustrator files still showed me just the file icon.
I have also tried the Adoview plugin. Same result.
I can't find good information on troubleshooting either of these plugins; this seems to be a pretty underdeveloped area. That's a surprise.
Any further suggestions (troubleshooting these plugins, hacks, other plugins) are more than welcome. Thanks!

Spotlight stuck at plugin bundle info of parallels quicklook plugin

Hi guys,
Spotlight keeps calculating the time for indexing for some weeks now. I didn't found anything on google, there were only one or two pratly related entries and the solutions for them didn't work for me.
I get the following console message most of the times I search something with spotlight:
ws-87-96.haw-1x.haw-hamburg.de SystemUIServer[288]: [QL] Can't get plugin bundle info at file://localhost/Applications/Parallels%20Desktop.app/Contents/Library/QuickLoo k/ParallelsQL.qlgenerator/
haw-1.x.haw-hamburg.de is the WLan in my high-school, but that doesn't mean anything since I also get the error when I'm home or turn the wifi off (and I also have it when I'm connected with 1.x.haw-hamburg).
I tried to remove the ParallelsQL.qlgenerator file out of Library/QuickLook/, but that didn't solve the problem, so I put it back in. Also I put the folder, the folder above it and the whole HD out of the indexing but that also didn't help, so I put all back out, and when Spotlight was done with indexing everything again I get the same error message as before and Spotlight keeps calculating the time needed for indexing.
Greatful for any help.
Greetings,
Jannis

Basics, really. Verified, repaired disk permissions and cleared related preferences and scripts from the library folder.
That's basically it, besides searching for solutions online. The only board this came up on, was for a Plex, but there was no reply to that inquiry, and a different app is being referred to. I uninstalled Plex as well, but it did nothing.

.txt quicklook plugin?

it has always puzzled me why quicklook will not handle simple .txt files. it also puzzles me that I have looked extensively and cannot find such a plugin. the closest I have come is a plugin called qlstephen, which shows a number of plain text files so long as they do not have a suffix attached.
does anyone know of such a plugin, or how I might enable quicklook with .txt files?
thanks

Sounds rather odd to me. As I mentioned, plain text files that do not have a .txt extension show as a blank page, and will not display in QL, but once the extension is added to the file name, they acquire the generic text icon, and show in QL. You might open Console and do a QL on a text file and see if an error shows up.
When you do a QL the Finder should also show a boost in the % of CPU that it is using. Try launching Activity Monitor and determine if you see such an increase when you hit the spacebar for different files--more complex things, such RTF or PDFs with graphics and what not, boost finder CPU use by up to 10% on my machine, a simple text file about 2%. If I inspect the Finder with Activity Monitor and have it display Open Files and Ports, while I have a QL up of a text file, I see the following items present that are related to QuickLook:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/QuickLookUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Dis playBundles/Web.qldisplay/Contents/MacOS/Web
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/QuickLookUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Dis playBundles/PDF.qldisplay/Contents/MacOS/PDF

If your Finder is also showing all of those in its operation, and you don't have any errors showing in Console, afraid I have no idea what is wrong nor how to fix it.

AVI Quicklook plugin ?

Is there an AVI file plugin for Quicklook ?
The AVI codec reported by Quicktime is Motion JPEG OpenDML.
I can play these AVI files in Quicktime but would stiil like to view them with Quicklook before deciding to open them with Quicktime.
Thanks.
Jeff.

I've tried running the qlmanage program from terminal with the -p (compute preview) option on one of the AVI files. Here is what is sent to the console output:
30/01/13 10:11:19.843 PM qlmanage[6999]: Failed to communicate with qtkitserver: Connection invalid
30/01/13 10:11:19.844 PM qlmanage[6999]: Failed to initializeServer(), returned 5
30/01/13 10:11:20.794 PM WindowServer[100]: CGXDisableUpdate: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "qlmanage" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.
qtkitserver does not exist in the process list.
Maybe the initializeServr() function tries to activate it but fails - error code 5.
Does anyone know what these messages mean ?

Two QuickLook Plugins... one for .eps and one for folders

To enable the capacity to see .eps files in QuickLook
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26337/epsqlplugin
To see inside folders (my guess is that this one will mature but it works as is now)
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/t_trace/20071124/p3

I understand what he's instructing to do up until he says "Hold Option and go to menu Advanced -> Convert selection to AAC. This will bring up a window to import and convert songs you select."
That's the part I don't understand.
Do exactly what is says.
Set your iTunes Import prefs to AAC.
In iTunes, hold the Option key on a Mac, the Shift key on Windows then go to the iTunes menu Advanced -> Convert selection to... and select the music folder where your Lossless files are stored.
See this - iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format below item 4.
"If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > Convert +Import preference setting+. The +Import preference setting+ will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted."

QuickLook Folder plugin fails

I have a quicklook plugin named "Folder.qlgenerator" which allows you to use the Quicklook function to see items in a folder. I used it all the time on past OS versions, but on 10.7 it does not work. Anyone else have this issue? I have the latest V3 "Folder.qlgenerator" Quicklook plugin.

I've been browsing the interwebs after coming across the ability to modify quicklook with additional plugins. I was drooling at the idea of peeping inside my folders with the spacebar or three-finger-tap. I haven't come across a difinitive answer, as alot of these quicklook plugins seem to be older and it seems that people don't really create new ones as much anymore. The short and sweet of it (at least my assumption) is that perhaps the folder.qlgenerator plugin was designed to work on power pc supported versions of OSX, e.g. - before Lion. I'm not sure if this is accurate, but it is the only explanation I can come up with. It's a simple file so I wouldn't see why this would be the case, but until someone tells me otherwise, that's what I figure.

So I can update my Oracle Java Applet Plug-in to Development Kit 7, Update 65, can you link me to the correct Oracle download page from your Plugin Update page?

When I periodically accessed your Plugin Check and Updates web page in the past, I really appreciated you connecting me to the correct Plugin Updates vendor web page when I clicked on your red Update Now button. This time, however, your Java Applet Plug-in "Update Now" button linked me to the Oracle Java "7u65 Updates Release Notes" instead of the usual download page. It seems rather unexpected for me, or any other conscientious user for that matter, to search the appropriate "JDK 7U65" file download from the Oracle website.
Thank you,

This is getting way too complicated for normal peop.
First: the "Update Plugin" does not work, it goes to a page with all sort of computer jargon but no "Update button" anywhere.
Second: this forum jscher2000 gives a good solution, but I downloaded the incorrect java update, because my computer is 64 bit. how am I supposed to know my browser is what it refers to and that FF is 32 bit.....???$%^&*()??
Third: some of those "critical update" software are not even on my computer....well at least I don't think it is, I search for "shockwave" and did not find it.
I love Moz FF but the updating is starting to get out of control. why give us (computer idiot) an auto recommendation update not tailored to our computer? Perhaps in big letters at the top there should be an explanation "this is general suggestion these plugin needs updating, not to tailored with your computer, do your own research"
and/or add info I need to know like the 32 bit thing, took me forever to download the 64bit update for JAVA and it was the wrong one.
Now I am just afraid to update anything for FF because it is too darn confusing.

Quicklook thumbnail generation without folded corner

If you look at the thumbnail icon in List or Column view in Finder, a JPEG image is not shown with a folded corner. However when I write a quicklook plugin using the XCode 3 wizard, I get folded corners on the icons.
Can anyone assist me in suppressing the corners, and making it just a plain image?
It might be a start if I could locate the PLIST for the plugin that actually provides thumbnails for JPEGs, but I can't seem to find it.
I have found somewhere that this can be done by adding QLDisableIconCorners = on to the QL plugin's PLIST, but this doesn't seem to help me.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil

Thought I better clarify that I'm using QLThumbnailRequestSetImageWithData to generate the thumbnail, and passing it an JPEG or an ICNS file. Same results for both.

QuickLook: How to make QuickLook preview fonts bigger?

Hi
I have to preview an EPS header frequently the way as I need (drag an EPS on TextEdit icon and it will show an EPS header in text format), so I've asked one guy to write me a QuickLook plugin for to speedup my work. The plugin works perfect except one thing. Default font size in QuickLook for a text file are to small, it's hard to see anything on my screen.
Is there any way to change default font size in QuickLook?
Thank you in advance guys!

Graphic rendering service tool/plugin

I need a graphic rendering service plugin. The need is when we copy / upload a grpahic file ( AI , png , svg ,etc) into a folder the graphic rendering service plugin should automatically generate different resolution of the same graphic ( may be in different format) as per the configuration/metadata. It should be possible to add our own metadata Please suggest which plugin can do that.I will put the license request. Can I get the tool/plugin/SDK to test..

Google, iStore, the trees, the gutters, I have searched high and low. OnmiGraffle is the best hope and they aren't answering their phones. I have been looking for a solution for about 3-4 days now.

Safari plugin questions

10.5.2 - clean install; perms repaired daily etc.
Q1 - certain pages on the BBC site cause Safari 3.0.4 to crash. Crash report invariably suggests Flash Plugin. Can I simply remove what Safari > Help > Installed Plugins reports as Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins?
Q2 - Safari > Help > Installed Plugins reports also suggests I have two QuickTime Plug-in 7.4.1 installed; and indeed I see both QuickTime Plugin.plugin and QuickTime Plugin.webplugin in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Can I safely remove one? If so, which?
Thanks!

Hi Mark
If you remove the Flash plug-in, you won't be able to access any Flash content. Recently, problems with Flash have been associated with a certain "buginess" with the latest version. The remedy has been to "downgrade" to 9.0.47. This might resolve the BBC problem.
Here's how to downgrade. You can obtain a copy here. Download "Flash Player 9". When you open the package, open the "9r47 Folder". There, select flashplayer9r47ubmac.dmg.zip for your Intel machine. This installs Flash 9.0.47, which seems to be the most stable version of Flash.
After Flash is installed, Safari automatically opens confirming the installation of the plug-in. Quit Safari. Then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder and "repair permissions".
Restart Safari and try the BBC site.
Regarding the 2 QT plug-ins, there ought to be the two you mentioned. Unless you are seeing a QT problem I'd leave well enough alone.

Closing Quicklook, Finder crashes

Hello everybody, I've a annoying problem: everytime i open quicklook and preview some files, and then close it, the Finder closes (without an error message) by itself, and I have to reopen it clicking on its icon on the dock.. (so, every finder window I could have open, closes)
I should have no added quicklook plugins, and tried also creating a test account, having the same result. Permissions are ok.
Can somebody help me please?
Thank you,
Dimitri

That terrific! It wouldn't have been a permissions problem or else you would have gotten an "insufficient permissions" alert. I really didn't mean for you to upgrade, I thought you were running 10.5.4.
I would not have advised you to upgrade to attempt to solve problems because it can aggravate the very issues you're trying to fix. Also, not sure why after the install of the combo update you still had the issue. You have to restart to install and then it does a double restart after installing.
But all's well that ends well
