Don't get a proper QuickLook preview, just a window with DEBUG as a header

[CameronBanga]

Loving fman so far, just installed this plugin, but not getting any luck with QuickLook. Every time I try to use it, I get the following:

Seeing this for PNGs, JPEGs, any sort of file I'd normally get a preview with in Finder.

Thank you for the kind words! You're right, I am experiencing this as well. I suspect it's a problem with High Sierra. Let me check and get back to you.

[mherrmann]

Should be fixed. Can you re-install the plugin and let me know if it works for you now?

[CameronBanga]

@mherrmann Works now! Fantastic. Definitely not regretting buying that license earlier today now. Great work, excited to see how fman progresses!

[mherrmann]

Glad to hear it! Thank you very much for getting a license. I really appreciate it.

fman is just getting started ;)

[CameronBanga]

Awesome, just saw it on HackerNews last week I think, and was out sick for a few days and finally getting around to playing around. Works almost exactly with how I imagine/use the file system, so very excited to see it grow.

[mherrmann]

Cool :) If you find there is something that needs to be improved, just let me know.

I'm getting this same issue on Sierra, but it's opening in a separate app (qlmanage)

[mherrmann]

@mwean could you post a screenshot?

[mwean]

Here's the quicklook window:

And this is the application:

@mwean do you get the same when you type

qlmanage -p "/path/to/Migration Steps.txt"

?

Also, does it happen for all files? Eg., have you tried for images?

[mwean]

Yeah, it seems the same if I use that command. It seems to work better for images, but it still shows the qlmanage icon in the dock and the window has "[DEBUG]" in the name.

I also got this when I ran the command:

2018-03-22 10:42:01.635 qlmanage[46158:10645282] *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0xa303, name = 'com.apple.coredrag'
See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes.
2018-03-22 10:42:01.745 qlmanage[46158:10645282] *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0xce3b, name = 'com.apple.tsm.portname'

See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes.

So it's possible there's other stuff going on.

[mherrmann]

Interesting, thanks Matt. Does it work when you do

sudo qlmanage ...

?

[mwean]

That seems to work better (in that it pops up right away), but I still get those error messages, and it still says "[DEBUG]"
