MBS Xojo Quicklook plugin & Sequoia

MBS used to ship a quicklook plugin for macOS so you could look at the version of Xojo a project was created with

Under Sequoia that no longer works :frowning:

And Apple changed the API in a way that Christian hasn’t remittent the plugin

In the mean time if you HAVE MBS plugins I have taken their Service example and made a system service that lets you see what version the project is saved from.

This works for text, binary & xml projects.

The project is available on my Github

To build an executable you will need an MBS license
Then to update and enable the service run the following commands in Terminal

/System/Library/CoreServices/pbs -update
/System/Library/CoreServices/pbs -dump_cache

And once you do this you’ll see when you right click on a Xojo project file

Thank you, nice project.

I just have so many projects with so many different versions of Xojo I came to really rely on the QL Plugin

So this is my stopgap to make it so I can see what version was used

I did add a request to the Feature Request DB as well
