QLColorCode CommentaryProblem with 2.0.0 - Version: 2.0, 9/17/2009 05:42PM PST

Baron Brain
I've been using QLColorCode since I discovered this plugin a couple years ago, and it's always worked beautifully. Unfortunately, when I upgraded to v2.0.0 earlier today, I found it no longer worked for me at all (under OS 10.5.8)… I could not view ANY of the files that were previously viewable using v1.1.0.

I assumed there was a conflict with another QuickLook plugin, so I decided to find the culprit by process of elimination — i.e., by removing all my QL plugins except for QLColorCode 2.0.0, then adding back those other QL plugins in small batches (restarting via "qlmanage -r" each time) until I found the conflicting plugin. It didn't take long…

My first conflict check was with QLColorCode 2.0.0 itself, to make sure it DID work when it was the only QL plugin available to the system. It didn't. However, when I swapped it with v1.1.0, that version worked perfectly again. I swapped it back it v2.0.0 and it failed once again.

Therefore, it appears the problem is not a conflicting QL plugin, but is something inherent with the v2.0.0 build itself.

I REALLY like using QLColorCode, and I recommend the plugin, but it seems that I'll have to stick with v1.1.0 for now. v2.0.0 does apparently work for some folks, but from the few comments I've read elsewhere, they appear to be using Snow Leopard (OS 10.6). So guve it a try… if v2.0.0 doesn't work, you can always drop back to v1.1.0.

Hopefully the devs will be able to determine what the conflict is with QLColorCode v2.0.0 and OS 10.5.8 -- I only wish that I had some additional information to provide for them. Sorry about that guys…

Very handy, and being able to view binary plist files is a huge plus!
