MacMotion brings something to relieve the pain (slightly) of dealing with Apple Provisioning Profiles, and it uses one of my favorite OS X features, QuickLook.
After installing MacMotion's new QuickLook plugin Simply press the spacebar on any .mobileprovision file in the finder and instead of some boring 1 line summary, you'll get something like this:
It also has some great enhancements to Finder icons to quickly tell you if a profile is valid or not.
You can download the plugin here (at the bottom of the post).
