Fair enough.  You might think about other ways to do this, though (smart 
group?), since it's now really easy to attach an arbitrary number of files to a 
publication.  Additionally, the new file scheme won't display in the table, so 
it's now a legacy mechanism.

You can read a PDF in the file view using the arrow buttons, but it's pretty 
limited.  You might also note that we're not using Quick Look for most of the 
previews, so they're a bit more useful for our purposes.  You can copy/paste 
from a PDF or text file, for instance, if you look at it from BibDesk, but 
Quick Look itself doesn't allow that.  If Skim could be refactored into a 
framework for PDF viewing, we could use it for display...but that would be 
difficult.
