Quick Look Plugins List

Written on December 17, 2007 by Josh Pigford and 4 people have commented

Apple’s Quick Look has quickly become a feature I use on a daily basis. It’s integration with Finder (and other apps) is done so well that it’s become second nature to use it.

One thing that’s becoming clear is that Apple’s developers had the end user in mind more than we thought by making Quick Look extremely easy to extend.

Jon MacDonald realized this and has started compiling a solid list of Quick Look plugins.

My favorite plugin by far is qlcolorcode, which gives Quick Look some syntax-highlighting magic.

    I too love Quick Look, still, it’s a shame another small developer got ‘appled’. I have used something similar for a very long time, namely MacGizmo. Not a sexy name I agree, but a very useful piece of software:

    I’d really love to print form Quick Look… Word documents especially given that I’ve moved toward the MS office free way…that way I wouldn’t even need to open it up in Pages just to print.
