'Highlight: unknown source file extension "xxx"' displayed at the top of the preview of unrecognised files #37

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

If you quicklook a file that highlight doesn't recognise, (e.g. a .xib) then at 
the top of the preview, the message 'Highlight: 
unknown source file extension "xib"' is displayed, followed by a plain text 
rendering of the file.

Redirecting standard error to /dev/null seems to fix this. I changed the last 
five lines of colorize.sh from:
setopt no_err_exit
go4it
# Uh-oh, it didn't work.  Fall back to rendering the file as plain
lang=txt
go4it

to:

setopt no_err_exit
go4it 2>/dev/null
# Uh-oh, it didn't work.  Fall back to rendering the file as plain
lang=txt
go4it

and it seems to do the trick.

That's semi-intentional.  I want users to know why their files aren't being 
highlighted.  But it could be prettier, I 
suppose.

I get a similar message, except that the rest of the output completely missing.
It is the base name of the file, not its contents, nor its extension
The problem may be a "%" in the file name.
For example, try a file with name "%.txt" (without the quotes.

cat: (null): No such file or directory highlight: Unknown source file extension 
"(null)". cat: (null): No such file or 
directory

This doesn't happen anymore in 2.0.1.  This means you need to look in 
Console.app to find out why a file didn't 
get highlighted but it also means you can get more debugging info when the 
preview totally fails to generate.
