First, I would suggest taking this over to the Quicklook-dev mailing list.

Have you tried taking a look at lsregister -dump to see what it can tell you about what the OS is finding and where?

I might suggest cleaning up your launch services database first with:

  lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

and then launching your application once and then checking the output of lsregister -dump.

Where is your QuickLook plugin located exactly within the Application bundle?

p.s. I actually have two alias' setup in my .bashrc file to make enter those two lsregister command easier:

alias lsdump='lsregister -dump' alias lsreset='lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system - domain user'

Despite the great docs and template project, I can't get my quicklook plugin to be recognized.
I have added the following to my app's info.plist:
	<key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
			<string>Sophie Author Book (Bundle)</string>
			<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
			<string>org.sophieproject.sophie.book.author.bundle</string>
			<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
			<dict>
				<key>com.apple.ostype</key>
				<string>Spbf</string>
				<key>public.filename-extension</key>
				<array>
					<string>spbf</string>
				</array>
			</dict>
		</dict>
	</array>
I have the following in the plist for the qlgenerator:
	<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
			<string>QLGenerator</string>
			<key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
			<array>
				<string>org.sophieproject.sophie.book.author.bundle</string>
			</array>
		</dict>
	</array>
I have copied my app, I have run qlmanage -r, I have set up xcode to use qlmanage as the active executable, I have changed all of my filenames to .m to use Objective-C (maybe that is the issue?) but quicklook never reports my qlgenerator as a type, and nothing ever gets called.

What voodoo am I missing?
