EPS Preview in Sequoia

Has anyone found a fix for not being able to preview .eps files in the current Apple OS yet? It's messed up that this is a thing. I have literally hundreds of eps files that I use for work that have been downloaded from sites like iStock and I now I have no idea what they are unless I open them. This idea that .eps file are redundant is insane. They are still used all the time. And that they are vectors for malware? I've never had an issue and I've been using them for decades. This shows how out of touch Apple is with the people who (are trying to) use their products out in the real world.

have you tried this?

No icon preview for eps-files in Monterey - Apple Community

1. Copy the "Illustrator.qlgenerator" from "/System/Library/QuickLook" to your desktop or any other folder you have read/write access to.

2. Open "Illustrator.qlgenerator" by right clicking it and select "Show package contents".

3. Open "Info.plist" in the "Contents" folder with a text editor.

4. Find the line "<string>com.adobe.illustrator.ai-image</string>"

5. Insert "<string>com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript</string>" below it with the same indentation and save the "Info.plist" file.

6. Copy "Illustrator.qlgenerator" to "/Library/QuickLook"

If you did everything right, you should now have .EPS previews back again. That's a workaround until apple fixes it in the System/Library, hopefully soon.
