Manage file preview and thumbnail plug-ins

To manage file preview and thumbnail plug-ins

Quick Look App Extensions generate previews and thumbnails for CorelDRAW files, supporting CorelDRAW and related file types to enhance content previewing.

If the plug-ins do not function correctly, previews and thumbnails for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite file types may not display properly. When CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is installed on an unsupported macOS version and later updated to a compatible version, the Quick Look plug-ins may be installed but remain disabled. In such cases, you need to manually enable them in System Settings.

Additionally, the legacy qlgenerator plug-in located in /Library/QuickLook will not be uninstalled automatically. If it’s no longer needed, you may need to remove it manually.

To manage file preview and thumbnail plug-ins

1 Open System Settings.

2 To find the extensions folder on different versions of macOS, do one of the following:

• On macOS Sequoia, select General, and then select Login Items & Extensions.

• On earlier versions of macOS, search for Extensions, and select the relevant extension settings.

3 Select Quick Look.

4 Ensure the CDRPreview and CDRThumbnail check boxes are enabled.

To uninstall the legacy qlgenerator plug-in, you need administrator privileges. Open Finder and navigate to the /Library/QuickLook plug-in directory. Look for the relevant .qlgenerator file in the directory, and drag the file to the Trash. Empty the Trash.
