Or just New Window as tabbed windows are fine for this integration.
I personally like to compare multiple profiles and have done so quite often
in the Colorsync Utility.

Probably good to have more relative information on the overview side.
Information such as default rendering are rather important overview details,
creator, created/modified! , copyright, platform would be welcome hear
without double clicking or opening the data strings.

This one should be clearly a contextual menu script. Now on the best Color
Management Platform, it should function as the Windows XP contextual right
click and install. Could it be so easy?

Good. This will clarify and perhaps populate the lists of errors and or
warnings into their respective importance.

No thanks on this one. Verification if you must but rather do manual repair
once a back up is made.
