In the Finder, press Command-Shift-G and enter this to go to find the file: So that's all - removing an entry from a plist file. To change this, we have to remove the entry that tells the Finder it should use hardware image processing for your SMBIOS definition. the vanilla iMac 14,2 definition I use) incapable of showing images in Preview, as your hardware might not actually support hardware encoding/decoding but the Finder assumes it will because of this new setting. This makes some Mac SMBIOS definitions (e.g.
Mojave installed an internal list of which Mac model can use hardware de-/encoding for images and other files. So here is what the problem is and what you do to solve it:
Get BBEDit from the same software company directly off their website, and it will do the job. I tried it with the official TextWrangler version from the Apple Store but it can't.
You need a text editor that is NOT from the Apple Store, as Apple's Text Editors from there do not get permission to edit this file. I therefore consider this an inelegant but time saving solution. You would notice by preview not working anymore. #Iramdisk not working in mojave update#
If Apple should choose to update that file, you would have to do it again. I tried all other fixes (except Vulgo's) and they failed for me. It involves changing a setting inside one of Apple's private frameworks, but it worked perfectly for me. If you don't want to go Vulgo's way for whatever reason, here is the "quick and easy" fix. NOTE: Canny Vulgo has found a way to do this permanently via a Lilu plugin - see here (). If you, like me, cannot afford to waste days of figuring out how this works to find the right plugin etc, this might help. So I dove deep on this forum, and found various solutions. Tapping the space bar on any item on the desktop or in the finder would no longer yield the expected preview image, but only the spinning circle: Preview was stuck.
