Non-urgent issue: How to check if Mac is using the correct quicklook plugin? about qlmarkdown HOT 6 CLOSED

On the system settings, extensions, quicklook, try to drag the qlmarkdown in top of the list

from qlmarkdown.

Thanks, I understand that I can force the priority of my quicklook plugins (and you've kindly showed me how to do that before), but I want to know if there's a way to check which quicklook plugin is currently used for a given file. This is to help me debug when a quicklook plugin is not being activated properly.

Thanks, but how do I enable debug mode? Debug mode of qlmange or of QLMarkdown?

from qlmarkdown.

In the QLMarkdown advanced settings there is the debug option that add on every rendered file a header with the current settings.

To list the registered quicklook extension (new API):

pluginkit -mAvvv -p com.apple.quicklook.preview

from qlmarkdown.

Wow, ok ... I had no idea about pluginkit. Thanks for clarifying what's the debug option in QLMarkdown, and also referring me to pluginkit.

This kind of knowledge about how to resolve quicklook conflict and how to troubleshoot quicklook extensions/plugins should be published somewhere. I'm semi-tech-savvy and I couldn't find the answer by googling.
