    Hi:

    A curious problem with the latest system update and new version of Numbers.

    In the Finder, if I select any file which will be opened by Numbers (ie a .numbers or .csv file), the Finder crashes. It seems to be something to do with QuickLook, because it happens only if the Finder view is Columns or Gallery.

    Anyone else get this?

    Not seeing that here in any Finder view type.

    A bit drastic but I guess you could try deleting Finder prefs in case they've got corrupted?

    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

    Aha! I’ve tracked it down to a bug in Cold Turkey. I’ve told the programmer.

    What does Cold Turkey do?

    Well I guess it’s better than, say, turning off your WiFi or unplugging
    your LAN cable as it still allows some access to the Internet.
