1) Using your method indeed assigns QLStephen for my given dynamic UTIs. Confirmed by interactively searching for QLStephen in the output of qlmanage -m | sort | less. 2) But as Info.plist was edited the code signature checksum breaks. As soon as I first trigger QuickLook on a file type of my liking it fires up the plugin for the dynamic UTI, QLStephen in my case, but is prevented from running with error msg "is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Bin". Inside the bundle I tried deleting *_CodeSignature/CodeResources to run it unsigned. No success either. Any ideas?

Question/request-for-enhancement --- how to avoid the "custom" plugins break OK functionality by overriding OS behaviour, or at least cause a "chain trigger" so that if my ~/Library/QuickLook/custom.ql fails to render something, it will still attempt to use any system-assigned QuickLook generator for the same file? I find many of the free plugins broken for many files. | |

As for me I've set Sublime Text as default app for most source files, however mdls show they still have their old UTI's. I can't get QLStephen, QLMarkdown OR QLColorCode to preview anything. Ran xattr -d, qlmanage -r, qlmanage -r cache, restarted Finder and rebooted a number of times... | |
