    Graphic artifacts when swiping Quick Look images on M2 Macs/Ventura

    On both my MacBook Air M2 and Mac Pro (2023) when I preview an image with Quick Look in Messages where there are multiple images, and swipe among them, a trail of graphic artifacts is produced outside the window. See attached screen recording. I’ve also seen this in Notes when there is...

    Can't view DNG files either in Preview or with Quick Look

    I converted some image files to DNG format using Lightroom. macOS Monterey can't open these files, either in Preview or using Quick Look. I have tried both lossy and lossless DNG conversion, without success.

    macOS QuickLook on Mac issues

    I'm trying to create a custom Quick Look preview on macOS. I've found the Quick Look Preview Extension target, which is brilliant, and does most of the 'heavy' lifting, but I've run into a few problems. I'm implementing a preview for MIDI files (which has been missing since 2009...) using...

    Quick Look plugin for .eps files?

    Does anyone know of a plugin that enables Quick Look to preview/support .eps (and possibly .ai) files? Free or cheap would be extrasuperawesome : ) Any help would be much appreciated. (Must work on Apple Silicon + Monterey)

    Quick Look not working properly?

    Hi. Recently got the new macbok pro M1 Pro and this is driving me nuts. I live off of quicklook but when I press spacebar, its not displaying the item in full like it should (or playing a video etc). I have to physically open the file. How do I fix this? I cant find a setting for it anywhere.

    Quick Look visual glitch (when "reduce transparency" is enabled) on M1

    For the past two years I used hackintosh with Mojave but since Apple decided to go in the direction of Apple Silicon/ARM it was time to move on, too. So, now I'm fully migrated to a brand new Mac Mini M1 (512/16) and I'm really happy with the overall performance (even surprised!) but I noticed...

I found at numerous sites this command: "defaults write -g QLPanelAnimationDuration -float 0". Works when closing the window, but the animation is still there when opening the window. Someone...

    Help with Quick Look feature

    Hi folks, Somehow I made VLC my default player for the Quick Look feature. Now every time I select an audio file and hit the space bar it opens through VLC, which I don't want to. How do I turn it back to the default and lighter preview of Quick Look? It looks silly, but I still didn't figure...

    [HELP] Quick Look – Help Needed

    Hey, all! Long-time listener, first-time caller... Somehow I used to be able to use Quick Look to see more detailed stats of a file--most importantly [1] the version number of Mac apps (*.app), and [2] the details of audio files (artist, title, bitrate, etc.) instead of playing the audio. Then...

    iCloud Drive on iOS 10

    One of my biggest grievances with iCloud Drive on my iPhone (and the main reason I haven't completely transitioned from Dropbox to iCloud Drive) is that if I want to look at a Word/Pages document saved to my iCloud Drive, instead of opening up a preview of the document in the iCloud Drive app...

    Fooling With the Activity Monitor..please help

    I will claim no level of intelligence above garden tools from now on...I really messed up. I read an article about how you can speed up Safari by deleting quicktime extensions in Safari, and instead found Quick Look in my activity monitor on my 13 inch Macbook Pro, and deleted it. Now, there...
