Hi All, Skim is hands down my favorite app for displaying and presenting PDFs.
I frequently use Skim in Presentation mode to show a series of home made slideshows to my preschool-aged children. Each show has a different educational "theme": shapes, colors, numbers, vowels, all letters. We go through a set of 5 slideshows over and over again together in a single session. So, I repeatedly switch and forth between files during a single session. I always want to be in presentation mode so there is nothing on the screen other than what I want them to identify.
I tend to do everything I can using keyboard commands. So, I hit ESC to leave Presentation mode, then switch files using Command-` and then re-enter Presentation mode using the appropriate keyboard shortcut.
Unfortunately, about 50% of the time I hit Command-` before I hit ESC. The result of hitting Command-` during Presentation is invariably a complete freeze of Skim on my computers, forever displaying the last image I was on. The only thing I can find to do to get back to presenting is to Force Quit and start over.
I am using Skim 1.2.1 (stable release, no nightly updates applied) Mac OS X 10.5.6 Processor: PowerPC (problem occurs on both Powerbook G4 and G5 tower)I realize that switching presentations during a single session in Presentation mode is probably an unusual behavior, and I certainly don't expect to be able to use Command-` to switch files while remaining in Presentation mode. However, I do wish that Skim would be more forgiving of my errors on this front.
