Not able to find Quicklook.config file

[prakharb5]

Describe the bug
I wanted to remove the tray icon of QuickLook app. I went to the said file location (UWP one) but there was no pooi.moe folder. How do I hide the icon now?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS Version: [Windows 10 20H2]
• QuickLook Version: [3.6.10 from Microsoft Store]

Can you try to run and quit QuickLook before looking for this folder?

[prakharb5]

I have done this many times. I have also tried reinstalling. Nothing works, sadly.

[xupefei]

Try this:

1. Open a preview on any file.
2. Click the "keep on top" button in the titlebar.
3. Close the preview.
4. Quit QuickLook.
5. Run QuickLook again and open a preview.
6. Is the "on-top" status maintained?

[xupefei]

Btw, can you also check if %APPDATA%\pooi.moe\QuickLook\ exists?

[prakharb5]

Btw, can you also check if %APPDATA%\pooi.moe\QuickLook\ exists?

Yup, this exists.

These files are there.

This works properly too. Status is maintained.

Can you quit QuickLook and delete all files in %APPDATA%\pooi.moe then run QL again?

[prakharb5]

Deleted successfully and ran QL again. Now what should I do?

[prakharb5]

I hunted down in the previous location and have found the file. But the file is almost empty.

QuickLook.txt
(converted .config to.txt by changing extension)

[xupefei]

Now quit and re-run QuickLook. You should find the ShowTrayIcon key in this config.

[prakharb5]

Sorry to say, but I already checked and it is not there. I checked just now also.

[xupefei]

I'm confused. Let's make it clear: let

• A: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\21090PaddyXu.QuickLook_egxr34yet59cg\LocalCache\Roaming\pooi.moe\QuickLook\
• B: %APPDATA%\pooi.moe\QuickLook\

Now, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the tray icon and make sure you are running the Store version ("(UWP)" after the version number).
2. Quit QuickLook.
3. Navigate to both paths A and B. Delete any files you found in both paths.
4. Run QuickLook and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
5. Navigate to both paths A and B. Which of A or B contains some new files?

[prakharb5]

Ok, I did all the steps. Posting results for some.

step3) I go to both locations. No files in B (pooi.moe folder does not exist) , some files in A. I delete both.
step5) I looked for files. No files in B (pooi.moe folder does not exist), one file in A (Quicklook.config)

Win 7 user here and I would like to confirm that my text file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Settings>
  <LastUpdateTicks>637360351174525275</LastUpdateTicks>
  <Topmost>True</Topmost>
</Settings>

But if I add <ShowTrayIcon>True</ShowTrayIcon> the setting works and the icon is hidden.
@xupefei So I guess either fix the code that there actually is this the expected line with true, or leave it as it is and adapt the explanation in the wiki

[prakharb5]

@rabelux Thanks for the help. I need to insert this just before tag, right?

[rabelux]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Settings>
  <LastUpdateTicks>637360351174525275</LastUpdateTicks>
  <Topmost>True</Topmost>
  <ShowTrayIcon>True</ShowTrayIcon>
</Settings>

That's strange. The ShowTrayIcon should appear automatically when QuickLook has been ran and exited once. I'll check what is going wrong here.
@Cyberdroid1 please let me know whether @rabelux's reply solved your problem.

[prakharb5]

Yes, my problem is fixed now. The code part was missing.
