2 years ago As written in the FAQ it is not possible to enable / disable support for single formats and not even dynamically associate new formats (for files with an extension).
Disabling binary file support simply does not generate the preview but the files are still handled. There is no way to set at runtime which formats to manage and which ones to be managed by other generators.
Editing the Info.plist file also causes corruption of the application signature and consequently stops working.
In System Preferences / Extensions / Quicklook, drag Apparency to the top to give it higher priority and maybe it will be used instead of SyntaxHighlight.

In my mac, when Syntax Highlight Extension was disabled, public.unix-executable files were taken over by Apparency.app.
When Syntax Highlight Extension was enabled, although binary files were set to "ignore", Apparency information couldn't be shown anymore.
When binary files were set to "dump", they were quicklooked as hex files.
In general, is there a way to let Syntax Highlight ignore public.unix-executable files completely? And maybe other file type as well. I tried to delete "public.unix-executable" in "Info.plist" of "Syntax Highlight Quicklook Extension.appex" but it didn't work.
Also, is there a way to add support to specific plain text files with extensions? Maybe just like adding UTI names "dyn.XXXXXXXX" to "Info.plist" inside "QLColorCode.qlgenerator". I tried to add "dyn.XXXXXXXX" to "Info.plist" of "Syntax Highlight Quicklook Extension.appex" but it didn't work.
Thank you very much!
