Add (list of?) QuickLook plugins

[mathiasbynens]

• preview WebP images: https://github.com/dchest/webp-quicklook
• preview plain text files without an extension: http://whomwah.github.io/qlstephen/
• preview NFO files: https://github.com/planbnet/QuickNFO
• preview code: https://code.google.com/p/qlcolorcode/

To install, move the .qlgenerator files to /Library/QuickLook/ and run qlmanage -r.

check out https://github.com/dchest/webp-quicklook, it is less buggy that webpquicklook for me.

Also, these might be useful

@patrickkettner Thanks! @dchest/webp-quicklook does seem to support transparency correctly.

I've had a list in Evernote for a long time, and I finally got around to pretty it up:

Nice @sindresorhus!

[mathiasbynens]

Short, simple, with an explanatory screenshot for each plugin — just perfect! Nice work @sindresorhus.

[kevinSuttle]

@sindresorhus: you should add these to Brew Cask. https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-a-cask

[sindresorhus]

@kevinSuttle does Cask support Quick Look plugins?

[kevinSuttle]

It does!

qlplugin relative path to a QuickLook plugin that should be linked into the ~/Library/QuickLook folder on installation

[sindresorhus]

@kevinSuttle that's awesome. sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins#3

[mathiasbynens]

sudo brew cask install "${QUICK_LOOK_PLUGIN_NAME}" --qlplugindir="/Library/QuickLook"

[kevinSuttle]

Actually, you can install casks with Brewfiles.

And also, the QL plugins are 1st-class citizens in homebrew-cask, so you don't have to use that dir flag.
As are fonts, and now colorpickers.

Actually, you can install casks with Brewfiles.

Yeah, Brewfiles basically just execute every non-comment line in the file, adding brew as the prefix. So they can be used for any brew command. Not sure if it supports sudo though… If not, I might revert back to .brew.

But good point; I should’ve gotten rid of the separate .cask file when I switched to Brewfile.

And also, the QL plugins are 1st-class citizens in homebrew-cask, so you don't have to use that dir flag.

The dir flag is needed since I want to install in /Library/QuickLook rather than ~/Library/QuickLook.

[kevinSuttle]

Ah, good to know! Thanks Mat!

Maybe try sudo brew bundle?

You can also have multiple Brewfiles:

$ echo 'install ruby' > Brewfile-ruby
$ echo 'bundle Brewfile-ruby' > Brewfile
$ brew bundle

Yeah but at that point it just makes more sense to have a single .sh file that only uses sudo for those commands that need it.
