hello again! is there any update about the Quick Look issue in newest MacOs.
I ask this in google AI
is the Quick Look for .c4d files work in Tahoe?
No, the standard Quick Look functionality for .c4d files does not work in macOS Tahoe (macOS 16).
The native Quick Look generator plugin included with Cinema 4D uses an older file format (.qlgenerator) that is incompatible with recent macOS changes introduced in Sequoia and continued in Tahoe.
Current Status on macOS Tahoe
Quick Look (Space Bar Preview): Pressing the space bar on a .c4d file will likely only show a large generic icon or no preview, rather than a render of the 3D scene.
Icon Previews (Thumbnails): Similarly, Finder thumbnail previews are generally broken, and you will see a default application icon instead of a preview of the file's content.
Potential Solutions
Maxon is aware of these compatibility issues with newer macOS versions and is expected to release an updated Quick Look extension (using the modern App Extension format required by Apple) in a future software update.
Until Maxon releases an official fix:
Ensure "Show icon preview" is enabled: Check Finder View Options for the folder to ensure thumbnail generation is requested by the OS.
Keep Cinema 4D updated: Ensure you have the latest version of Cinema 4D installed via the Maxon App, as a fix will come through an update.
Check System Settings: You can look in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Extensions > Quick Look to see if any Maxon options appear, but they are unlikely to function correctly if they are using the old format.
