QLThumbnailGenerationRequestMBS.contentType as String

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
property QuickLook MBS MacFrameworks Plugin 24.2 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes All
The content type of the source file.

The content type of the file being thumbnailed is used to determine the provider of the thumbnail and the icon styles applied if iconMode is requested. By default the content type is derived from the file extension. Setting this property will override the derived content type. This is useful for files that don’t have meaningful extensions but for which you may already know the content type.
