QLStephen, a QL plugin that understands README’s and more
posted by Duncan at 12:24 pm on November 27th, 2008QLStephen is a simple Quicklook Plugin that simply reads plain/text files.
I use the QuickLook feature of OSX 10.5 a lot. More than I ever thought I would. One niggling problem was though that it did not understand files like README, INSTALL, CHANGELOG .. etc that had no file extensions. I like to view these files before any other when viewing new libs or programs I may install, and using Quicklook would be ideal.
Quicklook support can be extended with plugins (I use QLColorCode) a lot, but after a quick scan I couldn’t find one that did the above. So I wrote one.
That’s it. You should now be able to view files like README, MakeFile, INSTALL etc. You may need to wait a few seconds for OSX to see the plugin.
