Quick Tip: Additional File Types for OS X Quick Look

As I am diving into cucumber, I would like OS X Quick Look to display my .feature files.

(and while I was already at it, I also enabled Quick Look for .properties and .textile files)

This is what I did:

I navigated into the TextMate package (right-click->Show Package Contents).

I edited Contents/Info.plist with a text-editor.

I added the follwing snippet at the end of Info.plist (just before the ending </dict> </plist>)

<!-- inserted jb, 20090920 for QuickLook improvement -->  
<key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key>  
 <array>  
   <dict>  
     <key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>  
     <array>  
       <string>public.text</string>  
        <string>public.plain-text</string>  
     </array>  
     <key>UTTypeDescription</key>  
     <string>Code</string>  
     <key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>  
     <string>com.macromates.textmate</string>  
     <key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>  
     <dict>  
       <key>com.apple.ostype</key>  
       <string>TEXT</string>  
       <key>public.filename-extension</key>  
       <array>  
         <string>properties</string>  
         <string>textile</string>  
         <string>feature</string>
       </array>  
     </dict>  
   </dict>  
 </array>

Then I set TextMate as the default editor for .feature files.

Finally I nudged the system o tell it something has changed with touch /Applications/TextMate.app and qlmanage -r on the commandline.

The result:
