It would be cool if someone could write an Apple QuickLook plugin for PND files, so that one can conveniently preview PNDs in Mac apps such as the Finder (file browser), Mail, etc.
The Mac OS X Finder (and other apps such as Mail) allow you to instantly preview files through a framework called QuickLook.
Support for the most common file types in QuickLook is already preinstalled. Additional file type support can be added through a plugin system. An extensive plugin repository can be found at QuickLookPlugins.com
What I would expect in a PND preview:
Btw it lists some gaming specific plugins too, like plugins for previewing ROM files:
http://eludevisibility.org/quickrom/ # Multiple
http://lallafa.de/blog/d64qlplugin/ # Commodore 64
http://bluezbox.com/ndsquicklook/ # Nintento DS
In 2007 QuickLookPlugins.com even ran a survey entitled: What Quick Look Plugins would you like to see developed?
Sadly this "wishlist" is now closed. But maybe there is an Mac+Pandora user/developer among us here, who finds it worth to go into it. Would be very cool! Or we could get in contact with QuickLookPlugins.com and inquire for collaboration there.

- Icon and/or Screenshot
- Description
- Category / Genre
