It seems they dropped -d
option in newer qlmanage
versions. Just remove -d 4
from the command.

Now I get this:

Testing Quick Look preview with files:
/path/to/your/test.mobi
- /path/to/your/test.mobi did not produce any preview

Do you realize you have to change /path/to/your/test.mobi
to a real path to the file you want to test?
from qlmobi.
No - I am a complete beginner in using the Terminal or Console. I don't know how I should paste the appropriate text in. I'd be grateful if you could explain how to copy the path to my file in to the text.

Write qlmanage -p -o /tmp
and then paste any mobi file into the console. It will be converted to its path. Or even better drag the file into console.

Thanks. Now I get:

Difficult to say anything from this output. Especially that they removed -d
option which gave more debugging info.
May be some problem related to M1. I don't have access to M1 Mac to test.
But it also can be something else. Maybe the plugin is not installed correctly or does not have proper permissions granted. It is tricky to set it up as it is not bundled with any official App Store application.

Thank you for trying.

Would be helpful to hear from other M1 users who tried or managed to use this plugin.
Technically it should work as I compiled it also for this CPU.

Initially, I've got this warning with no way to proceed any further:
After running qlmanage -p -o /tmp <path_to_my_mobi_file>
command I got a confirmation dialog (I never saw it again and I forgot to screen capture it), that asked if I was certain, that I wanted to run QlMobi QuickLook generator. Once I've confirmed, then it generated a preview and regular quicklook attempts (when you press a space on a mobi file) also started to work.
@steveparry1 , please:
- provide a link for downloading a mobi file in question
- does the issue happen on every mobi file you've tried or just a particular one?
from qlmobi.
@aik099 Thanks for the info!
Newer macos versions are more problematic towards unofficial apps (not signed).
Quicklook plugins are also now meant to be distributed with applications, not standalone.
This creates problems that may be hard to debug.
You probably need to do what I mention in README:
xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/QuickLook/QLMobi.qlgenerator
This will strip quarantine attribute from the plugin.
It may also be necessary to add gatekeeper exception:
sudo spctl --add ~/Library/QuickLook/QLMobi.qlgenerator
I can confirm the plugin works on Sonoma, but I did not check on Apple Silicon cpus.

Here is a link to a .mobi file: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8tb03erso8lbqep3vhc8i/Alice-in-Wonderland.mobi?rlkey=fvd9gnyuevdbwm1409vd09k9k&dl=0 The issue occurs on every .mobi file I try to preview.

It worked for me. Big grey rectangle instead of the book's front cover, but if you scroll down it looks perfect:
