PR for macOS QuickLook support and document icon enhancements

Post by matthiaswm »

The following PR adds a QuickLook plugin to FC bundles on macOS. If an FCStd file was save with a preview image (can be set in the preferences), Finder and other Mac apps will show a screenshot of the document as it was saved.

The FreeCAD PR implements the QuickLook plugin and registers it for Homebrew builds.

The FreeCAD-Bundle PR registers the QL plugin for Conda packages. It also adds a new document icon for FCScript files.

Bothe PRs depend on each other to work. No further work is planned on these PRs unless errors are found.
