Apple Quicklook X3F plugin!

Jeff Sickel has just finalized the long awaited X3F Quicklook plugin. The plugin makes it possible to see the full embedded JPEG in the Sigma SD14 RAW file and with the spacebar you quickly zoom in and you can without opening any software decide if it’s a keeper or not. Extremely useful!  I made a quick movie to show you what it looks like.

From Jeff: Version 1 of the QuickLook plugin is now available at http://corpus-callosum.com/software.html or just click X3F_Utilities_v1.0.dmg

Look doesn’t turn off when you plug in your SD14, so you will see thumbnails showing up on the USB disk when you plug in your camera.

As an added bonus, there’s a Spotlight importer as well. You can now get basic details from a terminal command like `mdfind “kMDItemISOSpeed == ‘50′”` to find all the images with an ISO speed of 50. Very use full with additional Spotlight tools. After indexing a X3F RAW image, you can look at the data with the command `mdls FILENAME.X3F`.
