QLNetcdf

========

A QuickLook Plugin for previewing 

[NetCDF](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/) files. Use 'spacebar' 

when navigating in OSX Finder to view the "header" (info ouput by `ncdump -h`) 

for NetCDF files.

__Requires that `ncdump` is installed at `/usr/local/bin` !__

Fortunately if you installed `netcdf` using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) (with 

the default settings) then `ncdump` should exist in the correct location 

already.

Example

-------

Here is an example.

Installing

-----------

Download one of the releases and copy the QLNetcdf.qlgenerator file to your 

`~/Library/QuickLook/` directory (or `/Library/QuickLook/` to make the plugin 

available to all users).

You may have to force the QuickLook Server to reload so it picks up the new 

generator:

    $ qlmnange -r

Known Issues

------------

Sometimes the plugin fails to work (no preview is rendered). The best fix I

have found is to force-relaunch Finder (`cmd+option+esc`)

Building

--------

The xcode project file is supplied with the project. The project has been built

with xcode 4.6 and xcode 5.1
