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. >I became greedy and started wanting to actually read a paper in the >pane, and then I realized that Quicklook could be used for that, of >course, remembering that this is what Skim is for. 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. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
