It should have been bundled with Marked App. After paying for the Marked App a quick look must have been the feature and not a product.

I thought QL was targeted at people who don’t have/need the full Marked app…

So this functionality is not part of Marked 3?

No.

How does Marked QL relate to Marked 3?
Marked QL is a lightweight Quick Look companion for instant Finder previews. Marked 3 is a full live-preview app with export, proofreading, custom styles, and editor integration. They work great together, but each app stands on its own.

I have for many years used the QLMarkdown extension which has always worked well for me, and is free.

I spent 2 hours repeating the dev’s troubleshooting steps but could do nothing to make Marked QL work. Way to much time to waste on this. I deleted it and reinstalled QLMarkdown (as @Stephen_C mentioned), which works first-time-every-time with no hassles.

Interesting. Yes, on my Mac mdls shows that all .md documents have kMDItemContentType set to net.ia.markdown

I’ll give MarkedQL another try, Isn’t it aggravating that iA, a supposedly reputable developer, would arrogantly make a global change like this without warning?

It does work perfectly with my iA Writer files.

A new version (1.1.7) is out on the App Store today that fixed a long list of issues. It’s working OK for me.

The price was changed to $9.99.

First off, yes, I increased the price of Marked QL from $4.99 to $9.99. (…) The goal of the price increase would be to have less customer support and more invested customers. It will likely mean a drop in sales, but fewer support requests while I work through the initial releases. It’s an experiment.

Have a look at https://markdownpeek.com. Probably all you need.

Me too, I find this extensions excellent for this purpose.

Is there any reason at all to buy the Marked version over QLMarkdown? I cannot see any.

None. The update of Marked QL from yesterday turns out to be very buggy. Maybe if I bought 30 or 40 new licenses from him it would get better support! (Just kidding.)

I deleted it. QLMarkdown is simple and reliable and has been for years.
