New macOS Quick Look NIfTI Preview Tool

Hi All-

I've put together a Quick Look Preview tool for macOS so you can easily view NIfTI files in the Finder. Select (any?) NIfTI file and press the space bar to get a handy preview like the one below.

Head over to GitHub and install with instructions found there.

Pretty cool!

Continuing to iterate on this tool. Speed should be a bit faster as I cleaned out some messy functions, redraws are now putting the brain in the same orientation each time, and also added a Makefile. If you have Xcode installed you can do the following on any macOS 15+ system:

git clone https://github.com/pmolfese/NIfTIViewQL
cd NIfTIViewQL
make all
make install
open /Applications/NIfTIViewQL.app
#Close the program (forever) and QuickLook will just work in Finder

Updated install instructions always on Github.

If you didn't have Xcode before and get an error on xcodebuild, you need to redirect the command line tools as:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
