    <p>I don't know Objective C but would very much like to make a simple QuickLook generator.</p> <p>Here's my plan:</p> <p>myfile.extension -> QuickLook generator parses the file using a script (e.g. a simple shell script or otherwise that I provide) that then outputs a html file -> QuickLook shows this html file using a webkit view</p> <p>I'm basically looking for a template or a tutorial where I could just insert my own script into it and not worry about how the QuickLook generator itself works and without having to learn Objective C (which I am in the process of doing but slowly!).</p> <p>Many thanks if anyone can help with this, or even just point me in the right direction. I'm sure it'll be of use to someone else in the future too.</p> <p>Edit: </p> <p>I have found the following, which I'd missed before, which does answer my question in part:</p> <p><a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/Quicklook_Programming_Guide/Articles/QLDynamicGeneration.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005020-CH15-SW2" rel="nofollow">http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/Quicklook_Programming_Guide/Articles/QLDynamicGeneration.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005020-CH15-SW2</a></p> <p>This is a more complicated solution that I had hoped, and means I will have to delve into Objective-C. If anyone knows how I can simplify this code I would very much appreciate it.</p> <p>e.g. is there a way of changing the line in the tutorial:</p> <p>occasion=InitializeCoreDataStackWIthURL(url);</p> <p>to something similar, like:</p> <p>(String) occasion = (the output of myshellscript.sh $url)</p> <p>Please bear in mind that I don't know Objective-C, so I have no idea how to write a core data stack or even what that is!</p> <p>Many thanks for taking the time to reply.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
