Hi,I know the issue of using Skim for reading djvu files has been brought up several times here (and always rejected)- I thought I would try again ;)
The justification is simple- I have lots of pdf's which I enjoy reading and annotating with Skim- I also have lots of djvu's which I would like to read with Skim also. The djvu's are mostly scanned documents, for which djvu seems to do a much better job at representing than pdf's (I could convert them to pdf's but it would take a *long* time, and increase my disk space by a factor of about 7). The readers for djvu's on the mac are poor, but Skim is excellent, and it would be great if it would display djvu's too.
The technical arguments are that Skim uses apple's PDFKit to render the pdf's and there is no support for djvu. But the djvu libraries are freely available- if they could be massaged to provide a DJVUKit which would read and display djvu's then could such functionality be easily integrated into Skim? Of course, some things might not work (I dont know about notes or searching), but if Skim could just display my djvu's like a pdf, then I would be v. happy.
Any thoughts?
