Using a Mac? Check out these must-have Quick Look plugins
Aug 13th
It has been about year since I switched from Windows to Mac and I thought I would release a series of articles that discusses my workflow and the vital tools that I have discovered along the way.
Today, we talk about one of the best features of Apple’s OS: Quick Look. Highlight any file, press the spacebar, and instant preview! The lack of this feature is my biggest complaint whenever I switch back to a Windows OS. Unfortunately, there are a few file types that are either not supported, or else not supported as well as they could be. Enter Quicklook Plugins.
First off, here’s how to install them:

And here are my favorite plugins:
- .as files using QLEnscript.qlgenerator
- .xml files with coloring using colorxml.qlgenerator
- .zip, .tar, .targz, .7z and others using Archive.qlgenerator
- .flv files using flv.qlgenerator (requires the free Perian component to be installed)
