how can i get the FBX preview plugin OFF my system. (OS 10.4.11)

I’m going to loose it if i have to wait 20-60 seconds sometimes minutes for a preview to be generated every time i select an FBX file in the finder.

thank you!!

the same for me…

i figured out a brute force way (by looking at the archive in the installer, cpio -t -i < Archive.pax):

in finder Shift+Cmd+G -> “/Library/QuickTime” ok -> remove QTFbx.component.

Apparently it also creates “/Documentation” folder, just for the plugin :O

Hello sonict,

You are correct in how to uninstall the plug-in:
1. Close any Quicktime players that are running
2. Erase - /Library/Quicktime/QTFbx.component
3. Erase - /Documentation/Autodesk/Autodesk FBX Plug-ins/…

Alternately, if you’d like to keep the plug-in but avoid the lag when clicking on large FBX files, you could set your Finder properties to not preview Quicktime files.  Essentially what is happening, is that when you click on the FBX file, Quicktime launches in the background, and if it is a large FBX file, then it will take several seconds, even minutes to load and display into the Finder window.

Regards,
Carlos
