I might be missing something obvious here but I'm reading the Quick

implementing QuickLook in my app for native types (only images
actually)...
All I can find is info about writing my own preview generators etc,
do I need to do that for native types too? It seems so complex I
might just end up writing my own preview class and forget quick
look....
QuickLook supports HTML, PDF, RTF, bitmap images and plain text. You
can't have a more complex preview than that, although you can use
graphics contexts to create these formats on the fly:

I'm not sure I understand your comment about writing your own preview
class. What is your preview for but for display in the Finder and
QuickLook? How is writing a QuickLook generator difficult or
inadequate for that task?
