I might be missing something obvious here but I'm reading the Quick Look companion guide and I can't seem to find any info about 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?
