Collegue at work forwarded this url and i have to call it the URL of the Day.

Basically its a homepage which collects custom Quick look Plugins.

Its a must for Quick Look lovers

Edit:

Regarding installation:

Those plugins do have a .qlgenerator extension. You can copy them to:

• /Library/QuickLook/
• /Users/yourUser/Library/QuickLook/

I have choosen the second location, so i was forced to create the folder first.

To get them working you need to restart, relogin or just running the following command in terminal.app:

qlmanage -r

I am using the zip, applescript, folder, pkg and chm plugins at the moment.

If you want to manage Apple’s Quick Look in 10.5 the following MAN-Page could be interesting.

Quote from the article:

Quick Look is a nice feature added in 10.5, I use it often for glancing at the content of various documents and it certainly beats launching an application. If you’re an avid command line user though, you may be browsing through a directories contents and wondering just what is that JPG or DOC file. Wonder no more, because you can easily use Quick Look from the command line:

From the command line, use the following syntax:

qlmanage -p filename.jpg

This will launch a Quick Look window with whatever file is specified as ‘filename.jpg’, the file type can be anything that Quick Look is compatible with (which seems to be just about everything).
