Crashing finder when focus on an archive (ZIP, TAR.GZ)

[tmgriffiths]

The plugin seems to crash finder if the focus (selection highlighting) is on an archive type file. I've reliably tested it with ZIP's, and gzipped tarballs (tar.gz). Finder has two behaviours when crashing; one, (the most common) Finder crashes and relaunches; two, finder hangs (beachball of death).

I'm not sure what else I can do to debug. Would a log file excerpt help?

[tsdorsey]

Yes please.

[tmgriffiths]

Here is a log file outlineing the crash. I'm not sure if I've attached the right thing. Let me know if you need something more.

That's helpful, thanks! QLStephen isn't listed in the binary images that are loaded (I don't have enough experience to know if that means anything)

Have you removed the QLStephen plugin and confirmed the crash goes away?

[tmgriffiths]

Hi Trevor,

I don't have enough experience either I'm afraid. Yes, I've confirmed that
if you remove QLStephen the crash goes away. I had a couple of plugins
installed for Quick Look and I've tested each of them alone and in
combination with QLStephen in case there was a conflict.

Cheers, Tom.

Hi Tom,

On your machine, what is the output of: "qlmanage -m | grep -i zip"?
Also, what is the output of: "qlmanage -d1 -p X", where X is your zipfile?

qlmanage -m | grep -i zip gives a whole bunch of lines, essentially the same as the following

org.7-zip.arj-archive -> /Users/tmg994/Library/QuickLook/BetterZipQL.qlgenerator (1.6 - loaded)

The all point to the same thing

qlmanage -d1 -p X gives the following output on a tar.gz

[tsdorsey]

Thanks for running those @tmgriffiths.

You're getting the same results for .zip and .tar.gz and I'm seeing no difference in those file types on my machine either so I'm not going to distinguish between them going forward.

Without BetterZip installed running qlmanage -d1 -p 22k.tar.zg produces:

Notice that on the second and third lines that the qlstphen plugin is listed and called out as being used.

So I downloaded and installed BetterZip (version 3.1.2 was latest at the time) and now
Running: qlmanage -d1 -p 22k.tar.gz produces :

Something of interest is that on the command line the BetterZipQL debug run would "hang" for about 10 seconds in the middle before showing an icon as the preview. However in the finder it would show the correct QL pane with no delay.

Looking at your output (truncated for brevity) I see two things that seem out of place.

1. The plugin called out is BibDesk.qlgenerator
2. The Generator used: and [DEBUG] Loading lines are empty (in my case they listed the full path to the qlgenerator file that was going to be used.

I searched google for bibdesk and found http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/ where I downloaded the latest (1.6.7) version. I installed the app, ran it, closed it. This had no effect on the command line runs or the finder.

I then forced a preview using the BibDesk plugin by running:
qlmanage -d1 -g /Applications/BibDesk.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/BibDesk.qlgenerator -c org.gnu.gnu-zip-archive -p 22k.tar.gz
And got

All of this makes me wonder what is different about your setup that causes the BibDesk plugin to take precedence and then fail to load.
