Anyone who has been using Xojo for many releases probably has seen the dreaded “older version” dialog<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was a user request many many many years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, at least with web projects, theres a different warning when you open a Web 1 project in a version that no longer supports Web 1 apps.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well if you have even encoutered these issues and want to know whats the version I shoulduse to open this project you want the macOS QuickLook plugin from Monkeybread<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now lets be clear – MBS has two items named VERY similarly.
There is one that is a plugin FOR macOS.
And one you can use IN Xojo programs to acces QuickLook functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want the first one. The QuickLook plugin for macOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation is dead simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download the dmg. Open It. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Finder Go To ~\/Library\/QuickLook (shift-cmd-G)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it says “That folder can’t be found” then Go To “~\/Library” and create it (the name is case sensitive) Now go to that folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And , from the mounted dmg, drag the MBS Xojo QuickLook Plugin.qlgenerator plugin to ~\/Library\/QuickLook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log out and log back in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tend to use column mode so when I click on a project file I now see<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If I right click I can select a specific version of Xojo to open the project with. Or I can use the Get Info window to specify which one should open this project from now on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you use other view styles in macOS CMD-Y will sho you the quicklook info for the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you can start to banish those dialogs from you day to day work flows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
