SCR File Quick Look Plugin For OS X 10.5

SCR File Quick Look Plugin For OS X 10.5 http://web.mac.com/weatherley/Site/QuickLook.html I thought I’d try my hand at writing a Quick Look plugin for OS X 10.5. It took a bit of searching to figure out how to render a Cocoa NSBitmapImageRep into a Core Graphics context, but I got there in the end. The plugin works with standard Spectrum SCR files, and also the enhanced Timex modes. Download a copy from: http://weatherley.net/mac2spec/Mac2SpecQLPlugin.qlgenerator.tar.gz Unpack and place in /Library/QuickLook or ~/Library/QuickLook Standard Quick Look preview. Just hit space on a SCR file. http://web.mac.com/weatherley/Site/QuickLook.html#0 ac6c4f6f-642b-41a1-978b-d18ffed87564 http://web.mac.com/weatherley/Site/QuickLook_files/Media/Cayman.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.mac.com/weatherley/Site/QuickLook_files/Media/Cayman.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_273_37"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Standard Quick Look preview.

Apart from the ‘plain text’ bit.
