Quicklook and thumbnails don't work

[Former user]

I tried to reinstall Gapplin a couple of times, after rebooting, with no success.

I've found another issue with a similar problem, and saw that he used this command from terminal:

$ qlmanage -d 1 -p avatar_application.svg

So I did the same and this is my result:

I hope these info can help.

I have the same problem using Catalina 10.15.5 and Gapplin 1.6.2.

I also have this bug, although I don’t see the same error as seen by OP.

That’s a bummer as the main reason I installed Gapplin was to get better thumbnails and QuickLook than what macOS provides by default.

If the OP’s error message is the real cause of this issue, I’m pretty sure this is just caused by a missing framework in the qlgenerator bundle. Should be an easy fix, however it looks like the app is closed-source so we can’t contribute :(

I also have this issue on Catalina. I didn’t update for a while because I was afraid things would break, and it looks like Gapplin did. Now I can’t view .svg files in the finder (they are tiny little images in the top left corner)
