Hello Kevin,
It seems Quick Look has encountered problems under 10.10 to 10.10.2; some bugs have been corrected with 10.10.3, but command qlmanage still has problems with some plugins: BOOTSTRAP_NOT_PRIVILEGED errors and, as you have described it, a somewhat clunky GUI interface.
I guess you should submit a bug report.
In the meantime, since Quick Look appears to behave rather fine in 10.10.3’s Finder, you’ll find hereafter a UI scripting attempt to make use of it:
on qlmanage(filePath)
local fileAlias, qlWins0, qlWins1
set fileAlias to (POSIX file filePath) as alias
tell application "Finder"
activate
reveal fileAlias
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Finder"
set qlWins0 to windows whose subrole is "Quick Look"
repeat with k from 1 to 10 -- Avoid infinite loops
keystroke space
delay 0.2
set qlWins1 to (windows whose subrole is "Quick Look")
if length of qlWins1 > length of qlWins0 then exit repeat
end repeat
repeat
delay 0.2
set qlWins1 to windows whose subrole is "Quick Look"
if length of qlWins1 ≤ length of qlWins0 then exit repeat
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end qlmanage
HTH,
Axel
