Description

QuickLook is great, really makes working with media files easy.

I'm using it in an offline environment, so would it be possible to get a QuickLook.config option (similar to showtrayicon) to disable checking for automatic updates? This way the toast notifications don't pop up saying it can't check for updates.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the QuickLook.config handling and the existing showtrayicon option. Trace where automatic update checks and their failure notifications are triggered. Done means an offline user can disable update checking through configuration without seeing those update-check notifications.
