A list of plugins with brief descriptions
Install all of them using the command:
brew install qlmarkdown qlstephen qlimagesize avifquicklook qlvideo quicklook-json betterzip qlcolorcode
# reload quick look generators
qlmanage -r
Nyx0uf/qlImageSize: QuickLook and Spotlight plugins to display the dimensions, size and DPI of an image in the title bar instead of the filename. Also preview some unsupported formats like WebP & bpg. and it also provides a preview for WebP, eliminating the need for a separate plugin like emin/WebPQuickLook.
dreampiggy/AVIFQuickLook: AVIF QuickLook plugin on macOS.
For various video formats, Marginal/QLVideo: This package allows macOS Finder to display thumbnails, static QuickLook previews, cover art and metadata for most types of video files. is responsible.
sbarex/QLMarkdown: macOS Quick Look extension for Markdown files..
whomwah/qlstephen: A QuickLook plugin that lets you view plain text files without a file extension.
quick look JSON is excellent for JSON.
For archives of various types, the BetterZip Quick Look plugin is excellent, although I believe it is a complete package.
For code preview, either anthonygelibert/QLColorCode: QuickLook plugin for source code with syntax highlighting. or sbarex/SourceCodeSyntaxHighlight: Quick Look extension for highlight source code files on macOS 10.15 and later. can be used, but I haven’t made a decision yet.
Error: “QLStephen.qlgenerator” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
Solution:
sudo xattr -cr ~/Library/QuickLook/*.qlgenerator
qlmanage -r
qlmanage -r cache
