I tried to preview files with Quicklook in a Container in my home folder Library, synced with CloudKit. Can I activate QuickLook for synced files? There are pdfs, pngs and markdown text files, neither can be previewed.
Any help appreciated
macos Sequoia 15.1.1 (24B91)
MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)
It's files from the two folders below that I often access via Finder. I ran the Sequoia 15.2 update last night and found it's fixed, images and text files are quicklookable again. Who knows what went wrong there.
~/Library/Containers/co.noteplan.NotePlan3/Data/Library/Application Support/co.noteplan.NotePlan3/Notes
~/Library/Group Containers/9K33E3U3T4.net.shinyfrog.bear/Application Data/Local Files/Note Images
thanks for checking it out on your mac.
Are they viewable in the Finder Preview pane?
ok, thanks for confirming. I rebooted, still the same. When I copy the files to the desktop, I can preview them just fine. Maybe it has to do with Sequoia as in here ( https://eclecticlight.co/2024/10/31/how-sequoia-has-changed-quicklook-and-its-thumbnails/ ), I used to be able to preview files in there but haven't needed it for a while.
no, just the generic png or text icon
Okay well I can view them in Quicklook & the Finder. Beyond that, I don't know.
Not sure exactly where you are looking but I was looking in ~/Library/Containers.
You're welcome. Glad it's working.
