Is there a QuickLook preview for plain-text files with unknown extensions? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

You can use QuicklookStephen (https://github.com/whomwah/qlstephen). Install via Brew:

brew install qlstephen

and then reset the Quicklook plugins:

qlmanage -r && killall Finder

and you should be good to go!

Tested with both files without extension and files with "unknown" extension (e.g. .nfo)

Solution 2:

After a quick google, maybe this is what you need?

It explains how to declare specific file types as plain text, QuickLook will use these declarations.
