Description
Quicklook generators installed by MacPorts do not function properly in Catalina 10.15.0. I have built MacPorts from source on Catalina and reinstalled all of my ports.
Unfortunately, the QuickLook generators -- QLMarkdown and QLColorCode -- build and install but they don't work. Instead of generating quickook previews macOS generates an error that the preview cannot be safely displayed.

If you figure out how to fix it, let us know. Catalina is brand-new, and these ports have no maintainer.

I suspect that QuickLook plugins need to be notarized or they will not be loaded by quicklookd.

In the interim, to manually stop the QL* files from being blocked by Catalina due to developer cannot be verified you can run:
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/file
For example, to ignore the developer cannot be verified error for QLMarkdown I can run (note I installed it using homebrew but that doesn't change anything):
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/QuickLook/QLMarkdown.qlgenerator/Contents/MacOS/QLMarkdown
Your path might be different than mine
Do this for all the ql* file you have downloaded, keep in mind is the definitely not secure as in that you may be running a malicious QL* file. All of my files are stored in ~/Library/QuickLook/QL.*/Contents/MacOS/program
