Execute it with an unsupported option, e.g. "-?". That is a common  
behavior of Unix executables.

$ xattr -h
usage: xattr [-l] file [file ...]
        xattr -p [-l] attr_name file [file ...]
        xattr -w attr_name attr_value file [file ...]
        xattr -d attr_name file [file ...]

The first form lists the names of all xattrs on the given file(s).
The second form (-p) prints the value of the xattr attr_name.
The third form (-w) sets the value of the xattr attr_name to attr_value.
The fourth form (-d) deletes the xattr attr_name.

options:
   -h: print this help
   -l: print long format (attr_name: attr_value)

Re: Leopard Quick Look & TeX


Hello:)

This thread is very interesting but I have a question:

What is the utility to use quick look with TeX?

  On a macBook I can't see the characters ... perhaps with a 30" !

Best Regards

Alain

Or the spacebar; I use that feature many times a day.

Oups.... thanks now I understand the utility.... fine !!!

I try  some hacks to use  Quick Look , with Texshop, I can view
file.tex but not file.sty , file.cls and file.cfg.

It's more difficult with TextMate, Do you know a good way to make this

Re: Leopard Quick Look & TeX

I agree it is very explicit, but it isn't working for me.
I have added, using BBEdit.app,
<string>public.plain-text</string>
to the UTTypeConformsTo</key> <array>
After saving: moving TeXShop.app, logging off, shutting down, and  
using touch on the command line were all unable to cause Quick Look to  
view any of my .tex files as text. Have I missed the point? Thanks for  
any advise.

That sounds right.  What is the output of the following in Terminal:

1) `mdls /path/to/file.tex`
2) `qlmanage -r /path/to/file.tex`

where /path/to/file.tex comes from dropping a .tex file on Terminal?

Oops, getting late here...that last line should be `qlmanage -t /path/ 
to/file.tex`.  Running qlmanage -r won't hurt, though.

Hello Herbert

Actually, I'm in a hospital and it's not easy for me to have a good  
connection with my macBook (intel).

Can you send me what you made in the info.plist of Texshop.

I tried the code found here : (www.macosxhints.com)

  10.5: Add Quick Look support for certain file formats
  but without success; perhaps I made a mistake somewhere ...
