Yes, useful.


Maybe the -t option is useful, no idea about these others however. I'm  
a little timid mucking about in terminal.


The man page has:

NAME
      qlmanage -- Quick Look Server debug and management tool

SYNOPSIS
      qlmanage -r

      qlmanage -m

      qlmanage -t [-s size] [-f factor] [-c contentTypeUTI [-g  
generator]]
               [file ...]

      qlmanage -p [-c contentTypeUTI [-g generator]] [file ...]

      qlmanage -h

DESCRIPTION
      qlmanage allows you to test your Quick Look generators and  
manage Quick
      Look Server.

      The following usages are available:

      1.       qlmanage -r resets Quick Look Server and all Quick Look  
client's
               generator cache.

      2.       qlmanage -m gets all sort of information on Quick Look  
server
               including the list of detected generators.

      3.       qlmanage -t displays the Quick Look generated  
thumbnails (if
               available) for the specified files. This executes the  
thumbnail
               generator.

      4.       qlmanage -p displays the Quick Look generated previews  
for the
               specified files.

      5.       qlmanage -h displays a summary of this page.
