There’s only two methods for the datasource. Mine look like this:


#pragma mark - QLPreviewPanelDataSource

- (NSInteger)numberOfPreviewItemsInPreviewPanel:(QLPreviewPanel *)panel
{
    return [_arrayController selectedObjects].count; // returns ‘1'
}

- (id <QLPreviewItem>)previewPanel:(QLPreviewPanel *)panel 
previewItemAtIndex:(NSInteger)index
{
    NSArray *pathArray = [[_arrayController selectedObjects] 
valueForKey:@"Path"];
    NSString *pathString = pathArray[0];
    NSURL *previewPath = [[NSURL URLWithString:pathString] absoluteURL];
    return previewPath; //returns ‘Users/phil/Documents/sample.txt'
}



Best


Phil
