A fork from Nyx0uf/qlImageSize

This fork removes file type labels on thumbnails. For those who prefer a more native look of macOS with qlImageSize, like me :)

Usage

• First you will need Xcode installed on your mac.

• Double click qlImageSize.xcodeproj to open the Xcode project. Click the project name at the right of the button Run & Stop, and click Manage Schemes .... Then Edit the qlImageSize, change the build type of Run from Debug to Release.

• If you prefer, go to Preferences ... >> Locations, and change the target path to Relative.

• Click the Run button, and find the qlImageSize.qlgenerator under the target directory. Copy it into your quick look folder /Library/QuickLook.

• Finally run qlmanage -r in Terminal.

• If you are running macOS 10.11.4 (OS X El Capitan), you can just get the qlImageSize.qlgenerator.zip.

qlImageSize

This is a QuickLook plugin for OS X 10.8+ to display the dimensions of an image and its file size in the title bar.

This plugin can also preview and generate Finder thumbnails for unsupported images formats like :

• bpg
• Portable Pixmap
• WebP

mdImageSize

It's a Spotlight plugin to display informations of unsupported images (WebP, bpg, Portable Pixmap) in the Finder's inspector window.

Installation

• Download the .pkg installer here.
• Open it.
• Follow the steps. (you will be asked for an admin password)

Uninstall

• Launch Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities)
• Copy and paste the following line into the Terminal :

sudo rm -rf "/Library/Application Support/qlimagesize" "/Library/QuickLook/qlImageSize.qlgenerator" "/Library/Spotlight/mdImageSize.mdimporter"

• Press Enter.
• Type your password and press Enter.

Limitations

If you are a Pixelmator user, its own QuickLook plugin might get in the way when previewing WebP files. To fix this you need to edit the file /Applications/Pixelmator.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/PixelmatorLook.qlgenerator/Contents/Info.plist and remove the dict entry that handles webp.

About Mavericks (OS X 10.9)

qlImageSize doesn't fully work on 10.9. By fully, I mean it works for certain types of images like tga, bmp, psd, tif but not for the common ones jpg, png, gif.

It is a known bug in the OS and I can't do anything about it, Apple never fixed it and won't. The best way is to update to this ugly as fuck 10.10, how sad.

For more informations, see issue 4.
