I thought I recalled seeing something to the effect that an easy way to add QL support was to package a document file and add a "Quick Look" folder to it containing a static preview image file. I'm having trouble getting that to work and can't find documentation relating specifically to this - it's not mentioned in the QL Programming Guide. Can anyone give me a link to a relevant doc or summarise what I need to do?

From http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/Quicklook_Programming_Guide/QLImplementationOverview/chapter_5_section_3.html :


"If you want to specify static thumbnail and preview images for a bundled document, you can take the easiest approach—it doesn’t even require a generator. Just have your application place the images inside the document bundle in a subfolder namedQuickLook; the image file for thumbnails should be named Thumbnail.ext and the file for previews should be namedPreview.ext (where ext is an extension such as tiff, png, or jpg). If you decide on this approach, you should not create a generator."

It's kind of odd that this isn't under the "Saving Previews and Thumbnails in the Document" subsection._______________________________________________
