[TxMt] Re: TM's QuickLook plugin

[Marc Wilson]

If I try to force the file type for my Applescript files, I still get the generic text viewer. In fact, so far I haven't been able to get the TextMate QL generator to be used for ANYTHING. Does it work on Catalina for anyone at all? I don't mean the auto-detect of the file type... I mean if you force the file type to be something TM has supposedly been registered for, does it get used?

The OS pops those two error messages each time qlmanage is invoked, but that happens on Mojave too, and it works there. Google says *everyone *gets those two errors regardless.

Curt, you said you were using Mojave, so...

However I have told Finder to open all .scala files with TextMate and indeed it is listed as the default App for opening the files. Not sure if there is something else that must be done so that Finder knows that this is a source code file?
