[3dem] QuickLook for EM files?

[Sigworth, Frederick]

Mac OSX has a feature called QuickLook which gives an instant preview of many types of files, directly from the Finder (the OS directory viewer).  There is QuickLook support for many graphics file types (.jpg, .tif, etc.) as well as PDFs, Word and Powerpoint documents, text files, and so on.  In my lab we often store JPEG copies of micrographs to make use of this feature for quickly looking through our image files.  I’m wondering, has anyone made a QuickLook plugin for a direct preview of MRC or other EM file formats?  If not maybe I could interest a student in working on this.
