Preview images for embedded json do not load.
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Although previewing works for .glb they do not work for embedded json. However, clicking on the .gltf file works.
This is behaving as expected.
We explicitly chose not to enable QuickLook for .gltf files because they frequently reference external files, which prevent complete loading of assets because of platform security limitations (App Sandbox). glTF Embedded assets are not particularly common in the wild, and the alternative to the current behavior is an experience where the majority of .gltf files that do reference external files fail to load. Because there is no way to determine a priori whether a .gltf file contains such references, we err on the side of showing a generic document icon.
Thanks for the explanation. I understand the security concerns, but support for .glb and .gltf files in QuickLook would be really helpful for my workflow with my mix of files. Any chance this could be reconsidered in the future?
For me, the inability to use the viewer for preview of all standard gltf files means I will have to write a custom application to replace quickview for previewing my work in MacOS.
