Medical imaging file support (i.e. nifti) and .obj

[braincharter]

Hello,

I wondered how difficult it would be for you to port this quicklook plugin into your infrastructure http://dti-tk.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=QuicklookPlugin.Main

It uses the nifti opensource library for a 3-slices preview of a nifti 3D or 4D acquisition. It would be amazingly useful for the neuroscience community.

Also, do you support 3D mesh/object files as now (.obj, .ply, etc.)? On MacOS, it is supported naturally, but there is also this plugin which does a nice static preview: https://github.com/alecjacobson/MeshQuickLookPlugin

I don't have any experience in such file, don't know how it looks like and how you work with it. Can you give me some sample files, and explain to me how to view it, and what should QuickLook preview be like?

This feature would be awesome I agree! NIFTI files are composed of a header and a N-dimensional volume. They can be loaded using C++ library ITK NiftiImageIO. A good display is:

You display

• the mid slice of the first 3D volume in three orientation (saggital, coronal; axial).
• the size of the volume, of the pixels, and the intensity range.

Thanks for your work!

Hi Paddy, are you still working on the NIfTI plugin? If so, you may take the macOS plugin and Linux alternative as references.

I am not sure if you speak Chinese... A big 谢谢 in advance :-3 @xupefei
