I'd file this as a bug report but I'm not sure it's a bug.

I'm not using Skim for TeX stuff but as a viewer for plots which  
happen to be generated by the excellent PLplot. PLplot writes  
Postscript files. I've enabled "Check for file changes" in the prefs  
but Skim does not re-load the file after a run of my plot-generating  
program finishes. I have to make an edit to the (old) version then  
select Revert in order to get the newly-make PS file. Is the "Check  
for file changes" related only to TeX stuff or can it monitor any  
file for changes. A simple "Reload" command might be a good  
compromise between ease of use and not accidentally reloading a file  
(and loosing notes). Also, a periodic re-checking of the file on disk  
might generate too much work if the file (due to me running my  
plotting program) takes several seconds or minutes to be re-written.  
The more I think about it, a manual Reload function might be sweet.
