Quick Look Plugin for WebP Files
================================

### What is this?

Quick Look is a part of Mac OS X. It provides you a quick way
to look at your content without open it in an application.
In Finder, choose a file or folder and push the space button, then QuickLook
mechanism quickly show the preview of the content. And also it is responsible
for the thumbnail creation.

Most people know this mechanism. By default, OS X doesn't provide preview and
thumbnail for all file types. [WebP](https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/) is Google's new image format and OS X
doesn't recognize the .webp files. This plugin will give you an ability to
see previews and thumbnails of WebP images.

### How does it look like?

Just like an ordinary image file:

![quicklook webp](https://raw.github.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/screenshot.png 'WebP')

### How can I install it?

This is simple for those of you who are familiar with terminal
(console).

Open your terminal app (or whatever you use) and copy paste the below
command:

curl -L https://raw.github.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/install.sh | sh

That's it. You just installed it. Enjoy your WebP files just like ordinary
image files.

If you use [homebrew](https://brew.sh/) you can do:

brew install --cask WebPQuickLook

### The other users can't use it. What can I do?

You can do it same operations by logining their account. But if you want
to install for all users, that's simple and similar the above commands.
Just use this installation script,

curl -L https://raw.github.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/install-all.sh | sh

This requires an administrator account, if you are not administrator you
can't install it. It'll ask for password then you're done.
