Finder integration broken

Post by vanity »

As of one of the last releases the Finder integration of the inspector window seems broken.

"Show in Finder" works for torrents but not for individual files.

Quick Look for files shows an empty window.

Or is it my Finder? Quick Look works everywhere else!

Please define "one of the last releases".

What operating system are you using? QuickLook is disable on 1.74 and 1.74 on 10.6 and later. If you are on 10.6, does QuickLook work now on 1.73 without problems?

(QuickLook support will return for only 10.6 users in version 1.8)

If it was disabled I wouldn't see the empty windows I mentioned. It's 10.5.8

For 10.5 it hasn't been touched - it's possible the private framework being used changed.

That wouldn't explain why I can right now alternately launch the two Transmission versions to have it either work or not.

Not sure, it might have broke when the glue code for supporting Snow Leopard was dropped in. But since the next release (more than likely) is going to only support QuickLook on 10.6, there's unfortunately not much I can do.

Hi,

I'm using Transmission 1.75 on OSX 10.5.8 and quicklook no longer works for viewing files within Transmission. Is there anything I can do to regain this function?

Cheers

Read the thread: downgrade to 1.73 or upgrade to 10.6

Oh thank you that was luuurvly. How clever of you.

Can someone confirm that quicklook won't return for 10.5 users?

As I already said above, probably not.
