[OS X TeX] Leopard Quick Look & TeX

Here is what happens on my machine (I do not know which parts of the  
output are not important so that I paste the whole output):

Nevertheless, the file opens with QuickLook in Finder  - is not the  
same as qlmanage ?

On another machine QuickLook and qlmanage open a file  but mdsl shows  
dynamic kMDItemContentType.

In addition, I had to remove iTeXMac, otherwise it captured tex files  
as attributed them to something like com.itexmac2.plugin (I do not  
remember exactly). I presume that in order to retain it I had to make  
the same changes as proposed in the Info.plist of iTeXMac. Is there  
any way to know which application would capture a file if there any  
several ?
