Hi, just wanted to let you know that in macOS Sequoia, which was released today, third-party QuickLook plugins will need to be updated to work with a new API. I believe that FoxTrot uses QuickLook plugins in order to know what to index. For one example, there is no macOS first-party (that is, Apple-made) QuickLook plugin, so to index epubs, we have to use third-party plugins like the ones on this page: https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins. However, *none* of the third-party QuickLook plugins I currently have work with the new macOS, and the xattr methods outlined on that page work no longer. These comments on Reddit may offer guidance https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1f00bbx/comment/lj ptsy4/ especially the link to the new QuickLook API information: "Support for deprecated Quick Look Generator plugins is being removed. To provide previews and thumbnails for your custom file types, migrate to Quick Look Preview Extension and Thumbnail Extension API. (116791365)." *None* of the epub QuickLook plugins linked in previous discussions in this forum seem to work. For example: https://forum.foxtrot-search.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=74 6 I have not looked into whether markdown QuickLook plugins are working.
