Describe the bug
- Whatever the content of
UserData\QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer.configin portable mode, no change. - Any change in
UserData\QuickLook.configdoes work, though.
To Reproduce For my test, this is the content of the config file:
<?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
.7zavailable on GitHub releases.
