The new Skim version triggered some LS registry, and it somehow hit an inconsistency. Unfortunately Leopard has a few bugs in UTI registry (perhaps even fundamental problems with the whole system, I still do not completely understand how it's supposed to handle conflicts that are bound to exist, the whole thing seems very fragile to me). > After trashing TLU, I looked for a Spotlight DVI importer somehwere > on my machine.

I see some problems with this importer though. It declares the UTIs, but does not localize the UTI names. Even though this should not be required, it is in practice due to a system bug, rdar://problem/ 6053077. Don't know if this is your problem though. > The lsregister dump revealed no DVI-related UTI's besides Skim's and > org.tug.tex.dvi (as far as I could see).
