On Mojave 10.14.5 with Seafile CE 7.0.2 server it does work.
I also have FUSE system extension installed. FUSE is essential.
I did notice one thing that might affect you especially when viewing large files. If the file has not been cached yet (still has orange icon/tag) the first view using Quick Look will fail and will only display an icon. Release Quick Look, wait a second for the file to cache, try again and you will see the Quick Look preview of the file (Finder icon/tag will turn to green).
Thank you for your quick reply. I see what you mean and it does work that way for files. I had other cases, where it wouldn’t load the quick look at all.
To be honest it felt snappier before. Could we implement this as an option not a must?
Before the update Quick Look and Previews were instant in Finder. Now Finder won’t download quick (?) enough to show Quick Look or Preview. Before I never had the problem that the preview won’t load. Now I have it.
According to the changelog, something was changed regarding preview downloads ("“[Mac] Add Mac Finder preview plugin to prevent automatically downloading of files”). Question is, wether I could activate that automatically downloading of files again. I’m connected via LAN to the server, so Internetspeed is not the issue.
Or maybe someone could elaborate what this notice in the change log means.
When a user open a folder in SeaDrive, the Finder will automatically download files to generate previews. This plugin is to prevent this behaviour. It can not be deactivated currently.
For the no preview problem for images, it is a bug. We will fix it soon. For the slow preview problem, this is because we use a single thread to fetch thumbnail from server currently.
For PDFs, currently this is no preview yet. But we will add the ability to generate PDS thumbnail in the server in version 7.1. Then the client can use fetch the thumbnail from the server.
To let it perform well the server also has to precompute the thumbnails. Otherwise accessing a folder with 1000 images is going to create huge IO and CPU load with just a single user.
Thanks for asking about the version. I just tried it on Catalina and it works. I will observe this… It’s not working on an older machine running Mojave, but I will update the machine to see if something changes.
Thanks!
