PowerVR (PVR) textures are the most common format for compressed textures on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. While tools like PVRTexTool are fantastic for creating PVR textures, viewing and browsing through them can be quite a pain.

We decided to leverage the OSX Quicklook Plugin interface to add native support for PVR in Mac OS.

Once the plugin is installed, simply select one or more PVR files and press the space bar to launch Quicklook and instantly view the texture.
