Description
Easy source code QuickLook previews and icon thumbnails.
PreviewCode provides QuickLook file previews and Finder file icon thumbnails for source code documents and data files for a wide variety of programming languages.
The app provides two app extensions: Code Previewer and Code Thumbnailer, which can be viewed and managed in macOS’ System Preferences > Extensions. The app itself is a container for these extensions.
You must run the app first to gain these benefits.

Known Issues
• PreviewCode will not render Clojure .edn files: the .edn file extension is pre-set on macOS to an Adobe digital rights management product.
• PreviewCode will not render TypeScript .ts files: the .ts file extension is pre-set on macOS to MPEG-2 transport stream video files. The .tsx and .typescript extensions are supported.
• PreviewCode will not render Elixir .exs files if GarageBand and/or Logic Pro is installed on your Mac. This is because these apps use this file extension for EXS24 instrument files.
- Previews displayed on external displays, or on Macs with connected to multiple monitors, may intermittently not be scrollable if you’re using a third-party mouse. Workaround: a MacBook’s built-in trackpad will be able to scroll.
- Deselecting code in the preview is not immediate: the highlight clears after ~1s. We are investigating fixes.
What’s New
Version 1.3.4
• Improve preference change handling.
• Update highlighting code.
• Remove unwanted grey line at the top of thumbnails.
• Under the hood improvements.
Ratings and Reviews
Should state clearly that doesn't work with TypeScript files
After purchasing, found that it doesn't actually support TypeScript files even though the description says otherwise. Only after visiting author's website do you see this listed as a known issue.
The inability to work with .ts files is not the author's fault--it appears to be a macOS limitation.
That said, the App Store description should be updated to display this known issue.
