【BUG feedback】The 5.0.97 beta will disable the ZoteroQuickLook plugin

[zhuxiphd]

QuickLook plugin is very easy to use on the Mac，but the 5.0.97 beta will disable the QuickLook plugin，the 5.096 beta version can still be used. I suspect that starting from the 5.097 beta version, the way to open the file is different. Previously, it was opened with a path, but now it is opened with a url.
I hope the authors have time to solve this problem, because this is a very easy to use and convenient function, thank you

I have the same problem. Quicklook is a very nice fucntion. Hope it could be fixed.

This is the 5.0.97 beta of Zotero?

[zhuxiphd]

Yes, I'm MacOS Big Sur 11.3. I used to run Zotero beta, but once Zotero automatically updated to Zotero 5.0.97-beta.33+ FDCD4E51C, QuickLook didn't work. Later I tried to downsize the version to Zotero 5.0.96.2, and it worked, but because it was not the latest beta, I lost the built-in PDF reader and global search, etc., and my friends also had a lot of such problems, so I was not sure whether the Windows system would work properly. However, QuickLook is not working on the Mac side because of the recent beta update. I hope it can be fixed. This preview function is really efficient，thank you

cannot work on win10, either.

same question, hope it fixed

I don't really have the time to diagnose the issues here. If someone would like to take over maintenance of this plugin, please contact me.

At this point, the Zotero PDF reader is much faster than QuickLook ever was on any system. I woudl recommend just using the Zotero PDF reader. This would primarily require changing your keyboard shortcut to Enter/Return instead of spacebar.

looking forward to solve this, the beta version cannot downgrade to the lower version...

请问原来的插件是哪里出了问题？

在beta版zotero中空格键被占用了，因此需要修改quicklool的打开快捷键。另外该插件工作的关键是用到了bridge.exe，而该插件无法正确识别到bridge.exe的位置。

It isn't spamming, just writing in Chinese.
There are totally two problems. But it takes someone who knows JAVA to fix it.

1, The space key is occupied.
The Bata Zotero occupied the space key, and I just change the space key to ‘~’. In zoteroquicklook.js line 558, I changed as follows:
if (((event.keyCode==192 ) && !(event.ctrlKey || event.altKey || event.metaKey)) || (key == 'y' && event.metaKey && !(event.ctrlKey || event.altKey))) .

2, The QuickLook bridge executable (Win) can't be found correctly.

The problem may be at lines 36-48 in zoteroquicklook.js. Unfortunately, I don't know JAVA so I can't solve it at the code level, and can only specify the location of 'bridge.exe' with the 'CustomViewCommand' parameter.

At least on my MacBook Pro i9 w/ 32GB RAM, QuickLook is a bit faster; opening the PDF with the native reader takes a second or two. If that was indeed faster, then yes, I'd agree that using the native reader was preferable.
