second attempt (without starting a terminal):

Adjust the path to mrview in /Applications/mrview.app/Contents/document.wflow if it is not /usr/local/bin/mrview

Associate .mif and .nii files with the mrview app (this does not seem to work for ".mif.gz" and ".nii.gz" though):

brew install duti # or compile https://github.com/moretension/duti
duti -s $(osascript -e 'id of app "mrview"') .nii all
duti -s $(osascript -e 'id of app "mrview"') .mif all
