at this point then, we would be getting into some areas of riskier things to try which i personally would do on my computers but i'm not going to advise someone else.. i'm not confident enough in my knowledge of the depths of OSX to be talking about it.. (i.e.- i know osx strictly from a user's point of view.. but there comes a point where i have absolutely no idea what these cupertino boys have going)

It's the only place I'm allowed to smoke, and there's snow outside,,,
close all QuickLook windows
In Activity Monitor
type in Qu to get to bring QL to the top
if it's not there, then that's good... it's not being used
if it is, select it
then hit you Sample Process button
try and work out what's keeping it turned on...simple

the other simpler test is
click on your Macintosh HD folder Icon in the sidebar then
Finder>>View>>Arrange By>>Noneit should remove any 'fancy' labelling and can be turned back on if it's not the culprit...

You could also try the sketchup quicklook generator I posted in
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=16015&start=90#p440924
I had issues early on because SketchUp did not register a quicklook generator of its own, which somehow caused quicklook to try to treat a .skp file as text. It took a long time and then displayed useless info.

Hi,
I found this thread because i have the QL helper issue too. I've tried the ql manage steps listed above. I can't say for sure if .skp is the only thing that makes ql go nuts, but there's no doubt that it is a trigger. I've never come across anything like the quicklook generator posted above, will it help specifically with this problem, or is it more just for being able to view files before opening them? Where should i put the .qlgenerator file? I'm afraid i'm not too experienced with this stuff... -

I'm afraid i'm not too experienced with this stuff...So far as I know, nobody ever conclusively proved the cause of this problem, so there is no guarantee of what will work. My theory was that it could be due to SketchUp not registering the .skp extension correctly with Mac OS X, which would cause Finder's preview to scan the file trying to decide how to display it and could clog up the quick look cache. I am sure that SU 8 did not register .skp, but I haven't checked on 2013.
Unzip the qlgenerator into ~/Library/QuickLook and the ruby into your plugins folder (the path varies depending on SU version). You may have to run "qlmanage -r" from a console window before the quick look daemon will pick up the new generator. You also have to save a file once before you will get a preview image instead of the sketchup logo.
