since upgrading to Sonoma I can no longer preview .ai or .eps files, there use to be a work around by modifying the Illustrator.qlgenerator file but this doesn't seem to work anymore.
Has anyone found a solution?

Apple has removed all capability to view or convert .e/ps files in Sonoma with the exception of the Preview application which can still view selected .ai files. This was done because it has come to light that these file types can be used to deliver malware. You will need third-party applications that still support opening .e/ps files such as GIMP, Inkscape, Affinity apps, Pixelmator, etc.
I happened to install the full MacTeX 2023 distribution which also installs Ghostscript and by which the TeXShop application can open and display .e/ps files.
The only two known third party add-ons to display an EPS preview have been mentioned. There's nothing else to add for the main point of this topic.
As has been mentioned exhaustively in preceding threads in this post, Apple has removed all EPS viewing and conversion capability from Apple applications on Sonoma. This is as deep as the libraries (frameworks) used to build any Sonoma operating system application including the Finder, Quick Look, and Preview.
There will be no fix or magical incantation workaround beyond third-party applications that can still view EPS/AI files using private, non-Apple libraries, or more strategically, the conversion of these file formats into another format that remains supported by Apple.
How to fix .Ai.EPS files preview issue on Sonoma ?
