NSFileProviderReplicatedExtension + NSFileProviderThumbnailing fetchThumbnails never called

Hello,

I am trying to add thumbnails to a replicated file provider extensions but the fetchThumbnails method never gets called.

After adding the NSFileProviderThumbnailing protocol and fetchThumbnails method to my class I can see the change in behaviour in Finder when I click on a non materialised item as it displayed an empty space instead of the generic file type icon when the protocol is not added.

I noticed the mention of caching based on itemVersion but I would still expect the fetchThumbnails method to be called for all newly enumerated items when Finder is in thumbnail mode ?

Thanks,

Figured it out, Finder / QL wasn't trying to preview the file type I was attempting to get the thumbnail for ( .indd )
