macOS 10.15+ Support

[manngo]

I have tried this on two machines with a freshly install MacOS 10.15 Catalina. It doesn’t appear to be working.

I don't plan on installing catalina any time soon, so either someone find the cause why it's not working or you'll have to wait.

[manngo]

As far as I can tell, it must be a 32bit application which no longer works in Catalina. I don’t know whether it would be a matter of recompiling.

[Nyx0uf]

Nonsense, this plugin has been 64-bit only since the beginning.

This issue is that this and other QL plugins are no longer recognized as created by an identified developer due to notarization enforcement. The binary needs to be notarized by Apple, which needs a Developer Apple ID and Xcode.

Here are the docs on Notarizing Your App Before Distribution.

I don't want to waste the little time I have with this kind of bullshit. With 900+ stars & 50 forks on this repo it should not be too hard to find someone to do it.

Then it will require the pull request every time you want to release a new version.

Has anyone tried to see if it works on 10.15.1?
I updated my virtual machine and it seems that now the various qlgenerators works but I'm not sure if I did something strange in the settings or if it's a problem solved in the last update.

The title bar does not provide information except these two formats; WebP, BPG
macOS Catalina 10.15.1

I think that macos don't allow to customize the quicklook for some common file formats like jpg, png… so for these files is used the standard generator, for less common format (like webp) is used the custom generator.

The system prefers the public.image identifier.

/System/Library/QuickLook/Image.qlgenerator/Contents/Info.plist

<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
            <string>QLGenerator</string>
            <key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
            <array>
                <string>public.image</string>
            </array>

I just tried moving /System/Library/QuickLook/Image.qlgenerator somewhere else to see if it makes any difference. To my surprise, quick looking images still works the same. Looks like ql for images works somewhat different in Catalina...
