What might cause quicklook to 'freeze', as it were.
quicklook has gone south to some degree, some files are QL-able, other not, and we're speaking of the apple plug-in type (pdfs, txt, jpg, etc.)
Even whilst running the Topher 'fix', terminal hangs after either the qlmanage -r or qlmanage -r cache.
Cheers, and thanks in advance for any light your available time might hereby shed. :)
Running OSX, ver 10.6.6 on an iMac
It is possible that some QL plugins are broken, you should check
~/Library/QuickLook/ /Library/QuickLook/ /System/Library/QuickLook/ for new QL plugins (check the date of the files). Maybe a program installed a new (broken) plugin? But some QL plugins are not inside the Library/QuickLook/ folders you can use
qlmanage -m to list all QL plugins, with
qlmanage -m | grep -v com.apple you see only plugins which are not from Apple.
