Yes, that's also why those remarks that QL would magically do the trick did not make sense to me. > If the basic drawing code could be separated out in a view/framework > for > view-only clients, then others (BibDesk, DevonThink, Papers, > QuickLook...) > could just as well use it directly instead of PDFView.
