Fuji RAF Quick Look Extensions

This application includes / registers finder extensions to preview (thumbnails/gallery) Fuji RAF images in finder on MacOS. It uses the existing jpeg image embedded in the RAF file.

Build / Registration

To build/register:

• clone repository
• open with xcode
• build
• run once
• exit the application

The application only needs to be run once to preform the actual registration. Run from ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/RAFQuickLook-.../Build/Products/Debug. Replace '...' with what ever xcode generates for your build.

Finder appears to cache thumbnails so the thumbnail extension may appear not to run on an existing folder. Browse a new folder of RAF files to verify. It will eventually catch up.

If I make code changes I typically run the following commands:

• qlmanage -r
• qlmanage -r cache
• killall QuickLookUIService
• killall Finder

System Settings

Control with 'System Settings/General/Login Items & Extensions/RAFQuickLook'

Useful Terminal Commands:

Show file content type

mdls -name kMDItemContentType ./Desktop/Raw/DSCF0000.RAF

This should return com.fuji.raw-image for these extensions to work.

Manage/ test quick look entensions
