Description

It's not clear how Mori handles PDFs. It would be nice to be able to store these within Mori and search on the text. Presumably it currently uses a pointer to the original file?

Currently they are unsupported, accept for what's provided by default by apples NSTextView. Please vote on this issue, if you want better support for file attachments. It's certainly planned, your vote just helps me prioritize things.

I'm going to mark this issue as a duplicate since Better support for file attachments... will solve the problem.

The missing feature in Mori, regarding concurrent products like StickyBrain, DevonThink or Yojimbo, is PDF displaying, and searching inside.

I think the architecture of Mori is very interesting, but without PDF, it is almost useless in academic research projects.

The way Mori handles PDFs (or rather doesn't handle them) is a huge stumbling block for me. I need some basic functionality (like just double-clicking and having them open in Preview) if I am use to use Mori usefully. The sense of frustration is only exacerbated by the fact that Hog Bay Notebook was so much better at this (and a good many other things, in my opinion). Please, Jesse, knock this one on the head soon.
