]> http://macitbetter.com/taxonomy/term/10/0 Any questions regarding the Quick Look plug-in belong here. en http://macitbetter.com/node/238 <p>Today I invoked the excellent BetterZip Quick Look Generator on a 125 MB zip file which contains 40368 items. BQLG took about 15 minutes (I did not actually measure this) before it displayed the contents, blocking access to the finder the whole time. BetterZip handles this zip file fine.<br /> Since the quick look generator is for quickly checking the contents of a file, could this be handled better? BQLG should be able to open such zip files much faster and a way to cancel a lengthy operation would be good too.</p> <p>Bas</p> BetterZip Quick Look Generator Sun, 31 Aug 2008 15:45:32 -0400 http://macitbetter.com/node/212 <p>What is the biggest archive size the QuickLook Generator can handle?</p> <p>I get this while opening a (rather large, 3,57 GB) rar file:<br /> <code ><br /> 2008-05-09 10:41:45.220 qlmanage[345:5e03] [QL] Previewing /Volumes/remotebackupdir/monthly/200805/FrameWork.rar finished<br /> 2008-05-09 10:41:45.221 qlmanage[345:5e03] [QL ERROR] Using too much memory (924 MB), hit critical threshold, exiting to clean up.<br /> 2008-05-09 10:41:45.221 qlmanage[345:2e0b] [QL] Quick Look daemon discarding 1 requests. Clients will have to retry.<br /> </code></p> <p>I've since changed my collegues' script that creates these rar files to create multiple smaller rar files, but I'm still curious to the max size that is "viewable". (will see if I can view the smaller rars after the script is finished..)</p> BetterZip Quick Look Generator Fri, 09 May 2008 04:54:51 -0400
