No, AFAIK they can't be overriden. I think if you have more than one plugin for a UTI it gets confused and you end up with nothing. Your example is irrelevant, as the system does not have QL support for folders and zip file, so he's not overriding anything. > A Skim QL plugin to override the system pdf could behave as follows: > - if there are no annotations, just display the pdf > - if there are embedded annotations, display the pdf with the > annotations > - if there's a skim file in the same location (i.e. under the same > conditions where skim asks if you want to load the external notes), > display the pdf with annotations > Apart from the fact that it's not possible, I don't really think it's worth it. QL is meant as a quick preview, not for reading. I'd say that just the PDF is more than sufficient for that. > On the other from that thread in the DT forums it looks like the DT > devs. are just obfuscating. I got that impression as well, but I'm not sure what DT does.
