The question is: use for what? QL cannot provide Skim integration for PDFs, as those are handled by the system (and QL allows only a single plugin for each file type). There is already QL support for .skim files and .pdfd bundles. > ... the DT developers replied: > "This is exactly what we're looking for.

But I'm also not sure what kind of integration is wanted. QL certainly cannot help in *storing* anything, as it is only a tool for *displaying* information about a file. The designated way to read Skim notes is by using the skimnotes tool, which is a stand-alone utility contained in the Skim bundle (for convenience) and explained on the Wiki.
