Quick Look Thumbnails + Document Icon support

[vincentneo]

Example:

Fix #26, but only if user's OS is macOS 10.15 or above, which I see as an ok compromise. Quick Look Thumbnails for macOS 10.15 and above, but macOS 10.14 users (or users that do not wish to use Quick Look thumbnails) gets a static icon too:

pre macOS 11:

macOS 11 and above:

I recognise that GPX file! 😉

Awesome!!!

So... this is weird: yesterday it was fine in Finder, and today it's back to using generic text icons! :confused:

Hmm... and the non-rendered icon didn't show too. Do you mind trying this command out in Terminal and providing the response of it?

mdls <drag any gpx file into the Terminal window> (something like this: mdls /Users/vincent/Downloads/littlemill_trk.gpx)

You will get a response like this:

In particular, I need the info for the kMDItemContentType and kMDItemContentTypeTree. Usually it's discrepancies of those values that causes differences between systems, so knowing that difference usually helps!

@pvdb, just realise I didn't tag you, in case you miss the earlier message. Feel free to let me know if you aren't comfortable with sharing that info, will find other ways to debug if so. Thanks!

Hey @vincentneo more than happy to share, just been a tad busy 😄

FWIW - it's back to showing proper icons for GPX files now, instead of the "generic" one for text files, so it's all good 👍

(maybe a recent reboot of my MacBook Air sorted it out properly?) 🤔

but if it's still useful, here's the output you asked for:

No problem!

The mdls output looks alright, so I'd say it's just a macOS thing and probably it was the reboot that did it's thing 😁

Just reporting that for me it's back to showing the "generic" GPX icons, not the "preview" route/track ones ... but still better than the "text" ones from a while ago :sweat_smile:

I'll try to reboot and report back, but just as an FYI
