I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.7 and recently, I've noticed that my system.log file is being filled with quicklookd32 messages.

The trouble is that whenever I "quick look" a file in the finder, the quicklookd32 daemon will log its contents into the system.log file while rendering it. As one can guess, previewing a large HTML file results in MBs of useless stuff in system.log. It's now at 4GB!

So my question is: how can I prevent this behavior? Is there a way to tell Quick Look to not log files' contents in system.log?

  • Okay, I narrowed it down to one Quick Look plugin to render MultiMarkdown files (http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown). For those interested, I have logged a ticket on the related github page here: https://github.com/fletcher/peg-multimarkdown/issues/55 – Rollo Tomazzi Apr 28 '11 at 08:01
  • You could try to do what I describe [here](http://superuser.com/questions/278231/how-to-disable-set-logging-level-preferences-per-mac-os-x-application/285384#285384), but I'm not sure whether `quicklookd32` is restarting al the time, rendering this approach useless. – Daniel Beck Jun 05 '11 at 16:41

Quick update: as I reported in my comment above, the issue was indeed with the MultiMarkdown QuickLook generator.

Fletcher Penney could fix it real quick, the new version is already available on Github

Thanks,

Rollo
