And it would be slow, as PDFDocument is slow. Speed isn't a huge issue since QuickLook does caching behind the scenes for thumbnails. I'd be more concerned about problems loading the categories and other code into the QL plugin's namespace. QL wouldn't be a solution for DT either since the only thing you have access to via public API is the thumbnail, not the paged preview. 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. I thought it would require too much refactoring to be really feasible? -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
