XML is not working - Githubissues

alanwilter commented 2 years ago

macOS 13 (Ventura)

But it does work for KML for example. Since I had issues with json as well, I noticed both were linked to Xcode for default opening.

I'm wondering if this is the issue. But see below:

mdls -name kMDItemContentType -name kMDItemContentTypeTree /Users/alan/Dropbox/sqldeveloper.xml
kMDItemContentType     = "public.xml"
kMDItemContentTypeTree = (
    "public.xml",
    "public.text",
    "public.data",
    "public.item",
    "public.content"
)

Very strange, in my system (macOS 13.0.1) they open correctly.

I also have Microsoft office installed and have the same problem - quicklook is not working for xml files. I think this is because excel and word define new content types for xml extension:

Because of this, I think, when quicklook plugin process the file it resolve xml file as one of excel/word content type and doesn't process it. Dear developers, could you please add these 3 content types to your configuration? I think it should fix the problem.
