QuickLook Preview fails since 1.2.9

[Alex Chandel]

Ever since I updated to 1.2.9, Gapplin always displays a blank white rectangle in previews. I also notice I can't choose 1.2.9 in the Version dropdown.

I have the same problem. It has been fixed but is back again. Unit tests missing?

Hmm, thanks for the feedback and sorry for the problem.

It seems I need to release 1.2.10. It will take a while.

Thanks. Any way to download 1.2.8 that first fix this issue before 1.2.9 re-introduces it?

I am also seeing this same issue since updating Gapplin.

While this is being fixed, could we add preferences options to change quicklook/finder-preview background?:

• Color
• Transparency
• Background Image

This would make scanning through SVGs in Finder/Cover-Flow a very nice user experience.

At present, when there is a white SVG on a white background, nothing is seen in Finder. I encounter this a lot when making white icons that are placed on darker buttons to build scalable user-interfaces.

It would be nice if we could set a semi-transparent background with a repeating image like this:

Revert "Avoid using layer on quicklook generator (ref #72)"

This reverts commit 13efe65ccad01dd7d9fb1cc28b0399bfda1d183f.

Yesterday, I submitted a new Gapplin, v1.2.10, including this fix.

@fdelage Sorry, but currently, I won't distribute Gapplin outside the MAS because of the limitation of my development time. The fix will be applied soon. Please wait for it.

@F1LT3R That sounds interesting. Thank you for the suggestion. However, in order to apply this fix quickly, I didn't implement it on 1.2.10. I'm still not sure, what is the proper way to provide options for a quick look. It needs to be examined. So, I'll create a new issue for this feature later.

Created the new issue for Quicklook background. See #74.

@1024jp thank you! Wish it'll be sustainable :p

I just noticed that the quick look is not working on El Capitan. Seems like you have fixed the bug and the next release should have it.

Thank you very much!
