How to view DNG thumbnails in Windows:

Explore that link and find out if they make a similar codec you can install in Mac.

On a Mac, if you batch the .dng files through Adobe's DNG Converter utility, which is a free download, Finder will then be able to display them.  This is a quick process.  Once you install the utility, you can click on any .dng file and it will open the utility.  One more click can batch the entire folder.  Make sure you have compression turned off, embedded .jpg turned off, and so forth.  The file sizes will actually be a little smaller when you're done.

Note that the files will still be .dng files -- I think DNG Converter just rewrites the metadata in a way that Finder can see.  Finder doesn't always display the colors correctly, but at least you'll be able to see thumbnails and use Quicklook without loading up an app.

I started off using Adobe DNG Converter, but it precesses the files for you - they don't come out as a flat Raw-like files & they get smaller in size.
Have since moved to using RPP (Raw Photo Processor) & it has everything you need to convert them to many different flavours of TIFF or JPEG in a batch. You also get all the options to alter DNGs: Hot Pixel remover, WB, RGB&Luma, Exposure, Sharpness, 4 preset curves (Film-like, L, Gamma & Colorimetric Gamma), some really nice Film emulation presets & lots more.

If you want a proper free editing program (cause you don't have PS etc...), then some people have recommended using: Darktable & Raw Therapee

That can beintegrated into raw2dng.app, I've made some test. It need ADC installed in the default location.
What are yous opinions is something needed in raw2dng.app?

If raw2dng is modified to produce cinemaDNG files, OSX will be able to create previews for them just like with BMCC DNGs (that don't contain embedded previews), so ADC would be redundant and is probably the better long-term goal. ADC might make some people happy for now though, maybe as an option though?

Using raw2cdng.exe from chmee with mono gives dng's with preview working
