Thanks!

/etc/launchd-user.conf

Read `man launchd.conf` for an out of date summary.

Yep, 2.7 is default now on 10.7 and 10.8. It was 2.5 on 10.5.x, 2.6 on 10.6.x.

Yes, exactly that. It's part of a framework that I developed for BibDesk to show file icons. On 10.6 and earlier, it uses its own pseudo-Quick Look window, which allows copying and supports more file types. Unfortunately, my window doesn't look at all like the Quick Look window on 10.7 and later, which would be a lot of work to mimic. However, 10.7 and 10.8 now allow copying text from QL windows if you set a hidden default:

I enable this for applications using my framework, so you don't have to muck with the command line, but it's a great trick for Finder and others.
