How can I configure quicklookd32 daemon so that it doesn't fill my system.log?

0

I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.7 and recently, I've noticed that my system.log file is being filled with quicklookd32 messages.

The trouble is that whenever I "quick look" a file in the finder, the quicklookd32 daemon will log its contents into the system.log file while rendering it. As one can guess, previewing a large HTML file results in MBs of useless stuff in system.log. It's now at 4GB!

So my question is: how can I prevent this behavior? Is there a way to tell Quick Look to not log files' contents in system.log?

Okay, I narrowed it down to one Quick Look plugin to render MultiMarkdown files (http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown). For those interested, I have logged a ticket on the related github page here: https://github.com/fletcher/peg-multimarkdown/issues/55

You could try to do what I describe here, but I'm not sure whether quicklookd32 is restarting al the time, rendering this approach useless.

Quick update: as I reported in my comment above, the issue was indeed with the MultiMarkdown QuickLook generator.

Fletcher Penney could fix it real quick, the new version is already available on Github

Thanks,
