It’s not exactly the “basic” icon. You’ll see that the pref pane’s particular icon still appears in the center. This happens because Quicksilver initially shows the literal icon for the file (since that can be thrown up quickly), but then it asks the system to generate a QuickLook preview in the background on the assumption that this will look nicer. In most cases, that assumption is correct, but not always as you’ve found. If you look at /System/Library/PreferencePanes in Finder’s Icon View and/or QuickLook one of the files, you’ll see that the “inferior” representation is coming from OS X, not Quicksilver. Long term, I’m not sure of the best way to deal with this. Do we hard code a list of file types for which the QuickLook preview is worse than the actual icon? Or hard code a list of types for which previews should be enabled and ignore the rest? Do we add a bunch of fiddly stuff to the preferences so users can make their own list? Do we do nothing? For now, you can disable the previews by altering the QSLoadImagePreviews hidden preference and see how you like it. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
