I'm submitting this code for anyone who needs a quick hack to get Quick Look working. It's a hack because it's using AppleScript and the Quick Look Server debug and management tool. If you send an array of paths this will bring them up in a Quick Look window.
I don't think the Quick Look documentation is as robust as it can be, I'm still trying to figure out how to do the same thing the right way.
- (void)quickLook:(NSArray *)srcPathArray {
//build the paths string
NSString *paths = @"";
for (NSString *thisPath in srcPathArray) {
NSString *s = @"";
if ([paths length] == 0) {
s = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"(quoted form of (POSIX path of \"%@\"))", thisPath];
} else {
s = [NSString stringWithFormat:@" & \" \" & (quoted form of (POSIX path of \"%@\"))", thisPath];
}
paths = [paths stringByAppendingString:s];
}
NSAppleScript *quickLook = nil;
// do shell script ("qlmanage -p " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of srcPath)))
NSString *command = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"do shell script (\"qlmanage -p \" & %@)",paths];
quickLook = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:command];
[quickLook executeAndReturnError:nil];
