Well that was an interesting journey. I don’t think rounded corners would bother me enough to go digging that deep, but I appreciate that it bothered someone enough that they went to the trouble and wrote it up.

My main objection to something like this (and cheers this person went to great lengths to fix it) is that as shipped you can't tell the difference between an image with square corners that got rounded off by QuickLook, or an image legitimately with rounded corners that looks like QuickLook. It shouldn't have been necessary to go to such trouble to turn that option off, one which will easily interfere with the workflow of a graphics professional.

  Graphic professionals use QuickLook??

    You’re just asking whether graphics pros use Mac’s. Yes. Many do.
    - sroussey 2y ago
      No, that is not what I’m asking at all. On a Mac, almost no one uses quicklook. It’s a weird feature. People use preview pane much more often.
      - jtbayly 2y ago
        Perhaps you don’t use it, but it is built into the OS and I bet a lot more people use it than you suspect. I find it quite useful all the time. Did you know it works many places, not just the Finder, including places where there is no preview pane? (Eg with items on the Desktop.) Did you know you can do useful things right in the Quickview, like mark up an image or PDF?

        The preview pane is also powered by the QuickLook service and has had the same corner-rounding behaviour added.

    ...of course? Macs are very popular among graphics professionals. And QuickLook is how to instantly preview a file in Finder on a Mac. So why do you think they wouldn't?

      Using preview pane is faster and does not require extra steps

    also photographers. it's the easiest way to get a clean display for a lot of picture files without importing/opening up another app. just select the files, hit space for quicklook, and go full screen.
    - sroussey 2y ago
      I didn’t know the space key did that. Sounds easier than open in preview which is my go to.

        yeah quicklook is great (which is the regression in the linked article is very disappointing). not even just for photos, the video preview and trim functionality is great! although apps can integrate with quicklook (eg vscode/textmate for code files), there are some files that should be previewable but isn't, like animated webp or webm files.
