Doesn't work on macOS Mojave

[wottpal]

Hey,
I tried to install this extension (both ways), restarted my machine and it doesn't work at all (no thumbs, no quicklook). I tried on two machines running on Mojave - works on none of them :(

Would be great if you provide some help!

Same here 😢

@wottpal @umlearn have you updated to the latest Mojave? It does work on my 10.14.1.

[umlearn]

@grikomsn Yes, I'm running 10.14.1. Can't figure it out why it doesn't work for me.

[grikomsn]

Possible reasons:

• Corrupted or different .webp file: try convert any image using Squoosh (repository) and view it using Finder
• Current user can't use the plugin: try install the plugin system-wide using the second command (install-all.sh) (I installed using this command)

@wottpal, @umlearn, any progress?

[wottpal]

Hey @grikomsn,
sorry for the late response.

I've tried multiple legit .webp files (also from squoosh) and installed it once again via install-all.sh but no luck 😞

When I fire up QuickLook on a webp file for the first time after installation the window gets large like it wants to show an image but then it jumps right back to just file-info. Some internal error I guess :/

Thanks for your help

I also am unable to see the WebP files installing locally or as admin. I'm on 10.14.2. I even sanity tested using WebP files from here: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/gallery1

I have the same issue, will there be a fix?

Im experiencing the same issue 😭

[grikomsn]

I'm going to do a fresh install on my MacBook and see if it still works.

Update: using the 'install all' script still works like a charm on 10.14.3 🎉

I had a similar issue with another QL extension for webp and found that in my case Pixelmator interfered with it. The instructions here https://github.com/Nyx0uf/qlImageSize#limitations solved the issue for me. Maybe this helps here too?

Solved for me too.

[wottpal]

For me too :)
Just one more question @flekschas: Do you think I have to repeat this each time when Pixelmator updates?

[flekschas]

@wottpal I can't say for sure but I believe you're right. The other day I noticed that I couldn't preview webp anymore and that the setting in Pixelmator's plist was back. Unfortunately, I don't know any way around. Hopefully, someone finds a permanent solution 🤞
