there is no ~/Library/QuickLook anymore since macOS 10.13, so for manually install: rather than

Move the downloaded .qlgenerator file to ~/Library/QuickLook

it should be

Move the downloaded .qlgenerator file to /Library/QuickLook

sindresorhus commented 6 years ago

Do you have a source for that info?

esaruoho commented 6 years ago

I'm running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and I do have a ~/Library/Quicklook for sure.

ryanaltair commented 6 years ago

add some pic to prove that there is no ~/library/quicklook but a 'quick look', notice a space

with macOS High Sierra

feel strange, too.

maybe add a note like

Move the downloaded .qlgenerator file to ~/Library/QuickLook or /Library/QuickLook

You just need to create the ~/Library/QuickLook folder yourself, I think. The system will still check it for QuickLook generators.

ryanaltair commented 6 years ago

Thanks hawkrives, will check it later. For now put plugins into /Library/QuickLook works already. Guess that put plugins to /Library/QuickLook will works for all user and ~/Library/QuickLook will only work for current user. Someone have a check?

hawkrives commented 6 years ago

That is how macOS uses those two folders, yes. Same with ~/Library/Fonts et. all.

ryanaltair commented 6 years ago

ye both works
