Advanced configurations

Adding advanced configurations

1. Quit QuickLook if it is running.
2. Navigate to the data location.
3. Open QuickLook.config with a text editor. If this file does not exist then run and quit QuickLook once.
   • If the file contains only one line, copy and paste the following to overwrite the content:

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <Settings>
     </Settings>
     

4. Add your desired config and save the file.
   • The final config should look like this (ShowTrayIcon and UseTransparency are just for example):

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <Settings>
       <ShowTrayIcon>True</ShowTrayIcon>
       <UseTransparency>True</UseTransparency>
     </Settings>
     

5. Run QuickLook again.

Show/hide the tray icon (since v3.6.10)

Default is True (show the icon).

• To hide the icon, write: <ShowTrayIcon>False</ShowTrayIcon>.
• To show the icon, write: <ShowTrayIcon>True</ShowTrayIcon> or delete the existing line.

Enable/disable window transparency (since v3.6.11-23)

Default is True (enable transparency).

• To disable transparency, write: <UseTransparency>False</UseTransparency>.
• To enable transparency, write: <UseTransparency>True</UseTransparency> or delete the existing line.

Enable/disable monitor color profile conversion (since v3.1.7-6)

Default is False (disable color profile conversion). Note that enabling this feature will slow down image previewing, especially on large images.

Open QuickLook.Plugin.ImageViewer.config with a text editor.

• To disable conversion, write: <UseColorProfile>False</UseColorProfile> or delete the existing line.
• To enable conversion, write: <UseColorProfile>True</UseColorProfile>.
