QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer.config totally ignored

Author: Ra0ELCreated Aug 11, 2026Updated Aug 13, 2026

Describe the bug

  • Whatever the content of UserData\QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer.config in portable mode, no change.
  • Any change in UserData\QuickLook.config does work, though.

To Reproduce For my test, this is the content of the config file:

xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Settings>
  <FontFamily>Arial</FontFamily>
  <FontSize>30</FontSize>
</Settings>

Expected behavior On a pure .txt file, I expect to see very large fonts, in Arial. Instead, I can only see default monospace fonts, default sIze (likely 14).

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS Version: Windows 11 25H2 - 26200.8893
  • QuickLook Version: 4.5.0 from .7z available on GitHub releases.
