QuickLook dir is in /Library not ~/Library

[wachunei]

Depends if it is for the current user or all users, this could be a flag on the install script, for example python install.py -afor all users (/Library directory)

+1 to defaulting to /Library instead of ~/Library. If you’re installing Quick Look plugins anyway you might as well make them available system-wide.

[mathiasbynens]

Note that using brew cask installs (well, links) into ~/Library instead of /Library by default.

If ~/Library/QuickLook don't exists, the installation (linking) fails. Below is the output for failed command.

==> Downloading https://qlcolorcode.googlecode.com/files/QLColorCode-2.0.2.tgz
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Linking QuickLook plugin QLColorCode.qlgenerator to /Users/<username>/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator
Error: Command failed to execute!

==> Output of failed command:
ln: /Users/<username>/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator: No such file or directory

Needless to say, mkdir ~/Library/QuickLook makes it possible.

@samyakbhuta can you open a ticket on Homebrew Cask?

[samyakbhuta]

The cask is not doing anything but to fetch and extract. See here.

[mathiasbynens]

Yeah, but the qlplugin line should take care of mkdir -p ~/Library/QuickLook (but it doesn’t).

[samyakbhuta]

sudo brew cask install qlcolorcode --qlplugindir="/Library/QuickLook" does install it in /Library/QuickLook. Not sure if sudo is recommended or not in this case, though.
