README
# This project is not maintained anymore, it has been killed by macOS 10.15, see issues for details.
 [](https://travis-ci.com/Nyx0uf/qlImageSize)
This project is composed of both a **QuickLook** plugin and a **Spotlight** plugin. Both are independant and can be built separately.
They require at least *macOS High Sierra (10.13)*.
# qlImageSize
This is the **QuickLook** plugin, it displays the dimensions, DPI and file size of an image in the title bar.
This plugin can also preview and generate *Finder* thumbnails for natively unsupported images formats [bpg](http://bellard.org/bpg/ "bpg") and [WebP](https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/ "WebP").
# mdImageSize
This is the **Spotlight** plugin, it displays informations of unsupported images (**WebP**, **bpg**) in the Finder's inspector window.
# Install
3 choices :
1. Using [Homebrew Cask](https://brew.sh/):
```
brew install --cask qlimagesize mdimagesizemdimporter
```
2. Download the latest build from https://github.com/Nyx0uf/qlImageSize/releases/latest and save it to your `~/Library/QuickLook` and/or `~/Library/Spotlight` folder.
3. Build from sources using Xcode. (just have to hit the build button).
# Uninstall
2 choices :
1. Using [Homebrew Cask](https://brew.sh/):
```
brew uninstall --cask qlimagesize mdimagesizemdimporter
```
2. Manually :
- Launch *Terminal.app* in `/Applications/Utilities`
- Copy and paste the following line:
```
rm -rf ~/Library/QuickLook/qlImageSize.qlgenerator ~/Library/Spotlight/mdImageSize.mdimporter
```
- Press Enter.
# Limitations
If you are a **Pixelmator** user, its own QuickLook plugin might get in the way when previewing **WebP** files. To fix this you need to edit the file `/Applications/Pixelmator.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/PixelmatorLook.qlgenerator/Contents/Info.plist` and remove the dict entry that handles **webp**.
After editing the `Info.plist`, QuickLook for the Pixelmator file format (such as `.pxm`) might not work due to Code Signing. You can unsign Pixelmator's QuickLook binary using the tool [unsign](https://github.com/steakknife/unsign). After downloading and building it, just run :
unsign /Applications/Pixelmator.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/PixelmatorLook.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/PixelmatorLook`.
It will create another binary with the extension **unsigned**, rename the orignal binary for backup then remove the extension for the unsigned binary, ex :
mv /Applications/Pixelmator.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/PixelmatorLook.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/PixelmatorLook /Applications/Pixelmator.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/PixelmatorLook.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/PixelmatorLook.bak
mv /Applications/Pixelmator.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/PixelmatorLook.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/PixelmatorLook.unsigned /Applications/Pixelmator.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/PixelmatorLook.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/PixelmatorLook
# Upgrading dependencies
### libwbep
Grab the [latest version](https://github.com/webmproject/libwebp/releases). Decompress the archive and simply run :
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.13" ./configure --disable-shared
make
The resulting library can be found in *src/.libs/libwebp.a*.
### libbpg
Grab the [latest version](https://bellard.org/bpg/). Decompress the archive and edit the `Makefile` with the following changes :
- Uncomment the line which reads `CONFIG_APPLE=y`
- Comment both lines `USE_X265=y` and `USE_BPGVIEW=y`
And replace the following
ifdef CONFIG_APPLE
LDFLAGS+=-Wl,-dead_strip
with
ifdef CONFIG_APPLE
LDFLAGS+=-Wl,-dead_strip
CFLAGS+=-mmacosx-version-min=10.13
Then simply run `make`. The resulting library will be in the project directory.
