QLNetcdf

QLNetcdf is a Quick Look plugin that enables macOS Finder to display a concise summary of NetCDF files when the user presses the spacebar. The preview shows the file header produced by the `ncdump -h` command, giving a quick view of the dataset’s dimensions, variables, and attributes without opening a separate application.

The plugin is intended for macOS users who work with NetCDF data and want an efficient way to inspect file contents directly from the file system. It requires the `ncdump` utility to be present at `/usr/local/bin`, which is typically satisfied when the NetCDF package is installed via Homebrew with default settings.

Installation consists of copying the provided `QLNetcdf.qlgenerator` bundle into the user’s or system’s QuickLook directory and reloading the Quick Look server. The source includes an Xcode project built with Xcode 4.6 and 5.1, allowing developers to modify or rebuild the plugin if needed.
