Was TLU was running while you updated Skim?

It doesn't handle conflicts very well at all, unfortunately. For instance,
if Skim is set as the default app for DVI, I couldn't use the Quick Look or
Spotlight plugins for DVI without adding Skim's UTI. There's eventually
supposed to be a formal recommendation on UTIs from the MacTeX TeXnical
Working Group...I think using org.tug.tex.xxx or maybe comp.text.tex.xxx.

It's been available for years as a separate download that can be installed
in ~/Library/Spotlight. I completely rewrote it a few months ago, but it's
likely that a few people still have the old one installed.

Interesting. What problems does that cause?
