I tried following the help in the README, but when I executed

xattr -cr ~/Library/QuickLook/QLStephen.qlgenerator

I got the result

option -c not recognized etc

Please update the README to use current xattr syntax.

Ah, figured out the issue. It is picking up another xattr (from homebrew?) in /usr/local/bin, which has different syntax.

The fix is to explicitly use /usr/bin/xattr

I'll modify the readme.
