It seems as if OmniPlan integrates with Quick Look. However, it does not seem to work very well. All I see it the have top level timeline. Would it also be possible to be able to use Quick Look on MS Project files as well?

The way OmniPlan integrates with Quick Look right now is when you save an OmniPlan document, a PDF of the task view is saved with the other data. When Quick Look wants to display an OmniPlan document, it uses this PDF. So to Quick Look an MS Project file, you'd either need to import it into OmniPlan and save that file, or write your own Quick Look plugin for Microsoft Project files.
It's intentional that Quick Look only shows a gantt chart of the top-level tasks right now. When we had it displaying *all* tasks, the preview for a project with more than 50 tasks became nearly illegible, trying to cram that much detail onto one screen with no scroll bars. (And many users' projects are much bigger than that.) We are interested in making the Quick Look more useful. What specific additional data would you like to see there?

I would actually prefer to see the task list instead of the timeline piece. You can have scroll bars in Quick Look, so it should not matter how many tasks are there.
