Caching and Forensics Section?[edit]

This section really stuck out to me... Is there actually a notable example of this action being utilized specifically against Quick Look to a successful outcome that we can link in here? If not, I don't really think this section belongs here — would be more relevant on an article about about computer caching in a general scope IMO.97.87.137.108 (talk) 03:26, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

The overview says that the first known QuickLook plugin was one for Quark that was released in January 2008. But a QuickLook plugin for FrameForge 3D Studio was released in October 2007. [1] I wrote it, so due to conflict of interest, I won't make the edit myself. --Jwwalker (talk) 17:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did wonder whether that edit about Quark being the first was correct - I've made a change to talk about 3rd party plugins, so feel free to clean it up. Now that you've admitted there's a COI, you should be fine to clean up this article if you want (there'd be less of a problem than otherwise, anyway) — alex.muller (talk • edits) 17:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Future[edit]

Quick Look can be expanded by 3rd party plug ins, which will allow Quick Look to preview more files in the future.^[1]

Err... surely it can preview more files now? I would change the words myself, but I'm not sure how to phrase it. —[semicolons]— 10:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OpenDocument[edit]

I dont think it supports .ods. Does it support other OpenDocument formats? --John Vandenberg ^(chat) 01:39, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

I really question the NPOVocity and usefulness of a list of unsupported formats. It can't be exhaustive, and it's difficult to read it as anything other than HEY THIS THING IS TERRIBLE LOOK WHAT IT CAN'T DO. Yes, it sucks that QL can't handle FLAC, but does half of the Wikipedia article really need to be a mockery of that fact? More importantly, how is listing unsupported formats instead of supported formats in any way useful or constructive? Iain Dawson (talk) 19:06, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right. That's a non-specific list that will never be complete. --Jtalledo (talk) 23:11, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing the section in favor of an actual informative table outlining what is supported and in what version it is supported. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 11:06, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The new supported format section is up. I encourage everyone to add out-of-the-box supported file formats. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 11:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
