Sync quicklook, services, scripts?

[Tam-Lin]

Have you given any thought to syncing the quicklook, services, and scripts directories? I can create a fork to do this, but I wanted to see if there were any concerns with doing so before I did.

Sure,

What are those files ? Why would you want to sync them ?

In the near future, Mackup will have an easy to let the user add synced paths and files, you should not have to fork for this.

Hi. ~/Library/Quicklook (or, if shared between all users, /Library/QuickLook) is where Quicklook generators (the things that let you see a quick formatted version of a document by hitting the space bar instead of opening the document with the native command) are kept. Similarly, ~/Library/Services and ~/Library/Scripts are where program services and program-specific applescripts are kept. I'll admit that syncing the last two are possibly a bit iffy, as you could end up with scripts/services that invoke programs you don't have installed on a different computer, but I already sync them anyway.
