Adding .as and .mxml support to QuickLook

Posted on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 @ 11:49 CET

I love me some QuickLook, but after installing TextMate (and I don't know if this is what broke it) all I get is a Text Document icon when trying to QuickLook AS and MXML files. I came across a plugin called QLColorCode that adds color highlighting to XML files, and this other post that shows you how to hack it to do MXML too.

I simply followed the same instructions to add .as support, except for the language highlighting file since that already existed for ActionScript although doesn't seem to be used.

In any case, if you want to skip editing the contents of QLColorCode, then grab this file, unzip it and put it in /Library/QuickLook.

Oh, standard disclaimer applies - if it breaks your machine its on you :) But it works for me.
