Want to add FLV support to QuickLook in Mac OSX?

My answer to this questions was a big YES! Dug around the Internet and found the homepage of XDD(?).

In addition to his/her cool FLV QuickLook plugin he/she has also created a Folder and Archive plugin for QuickLook.

  • Download and install Perian
  • Simply drop the .qlgenerator file into “/Library/QuickLook”
  • Type “killall Finder” on the command line in a terminal window (if you don’t know what this is simply reboot)
  • Browse some .FLV files in Finder and you should be able to hit spacebar to bring up QuickLook – Voila!

My thanks go to XDD ;)
