About that last: there is the Correct Spelling Automatically option. This 
default value for this can be set in the Keyboard system preferences.

I think it would actually be worthwhile to remember your choice. So this (and 
related) settings will be sticky across (at least some) inputs and launches in 
the next release.

No, there is no way to do this. It is not an ap[p wide setting, but a function 
of each text input control by itself.

How to keep "Check Spelling While Typing" on.

Hello,

I've been using Skim to take notes during school. I'll print a professor's
powerpoint to PDF. This allows me to markup and take notes anywhere on the
powerpoint presentation using "text note" and "freehand".

However, it does not automatically spell check. I know there's a "Check
spelling while typing" option, but it turns off when I create a new text
box. Is there a way to have this automatically turn on whenever I create a
new text box?

Bonus question: Is it also possible to incorporate Mac's autocorrect?

Thanks!

I already figured out what is going wrong. It is a long time serious design bug 
in the system that Apple never bothered to fixed (and probably won’t be able 
to), and I forgot to work around.

I will fix this for the next release.

For now, you can work around this by editing the text of the note in a separate 
note window, by double-clicking the note itself.

I am not sure what you mean by your second point.

Perhaps you can look up a crash report for this in Console.app, and figure
out where it crashes on. You could send a copy of one to me off list.

[Skim-app-users] HELP!

[Daniel Monk]

Hi Skim-app-users:   I'm writing in the hope that someone can help me.
I've been a satisfied SKIM user for a while now, but as of two days ago, it
has started crashing on me persistently.  This is what happens:

1. I highlight text to create a note.
2. When I click on the note header [the upper line in the gray bar], so as
to revise the title of the note header: it crashes.

Can anyone help?
Many Thanks,
Dan

[Skim-app-users] help converting/viewing sticky notes from adobe to skim

[zachary shulman]

sorry i forgot to add help in the subject

hi
i have mac os high sierra.
i just downloaded skim. used to use preview and adobe DC

I have many textbooks filled with sticky annotations (which were created 
previously on adobe DC)
when I open these textbooks using skim i cannot view the contents of the sticky 
note
it appears to be embedded within the PDF (i cannot move it either).
is there a way to view previous sticky annotation with skim?

thanks










You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

 
skim-app-users-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net

with the word `help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including changing
the password, itself) or to unsubscribe without confirmation.  It is:

 imfifene

Normally, Mailman will remind you of your 
lists.sourceforge.net
mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this
if you prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.
