Hello Christiaan,
Thanks for your reply, knowing that I tried the impossible is better
than going on trying.
I wrote 2 AppleScripts to save or close the pdf (with saving) in order
to save the Skim-notes in the same folder additionally. These are
indeed searchable, so the real pdf is just one click away.
For anybody who might find it useful, here is the code (I am _not_ a
programmer or AppleScripter, so there may be a lot more useful
solution):
***saving***
tell application "Skim"
set pdf_path to file of document of front window as text
set path_length to the (number of characters of pdf_path) - 4
set file_name_base to (text 1 thru path_length) of pdf_path as text
set notes_path to file_name_base & ".skim"
save document of front window as "Skim Notes" in notes_path
save document of front window in pdf_path
end tell
***
***closing***
tell application "Skim"
set pdf_path to file of document of front window as text
set path_length to the (number of characters of pdf_path) - 4
set file_name_base to (text 1 thru path_length) of pdf_path as text
set notes_path to file_name_base & ".skim"
save document of front window as "Skim Notes" in notes_path
close document of front window saving yes
end tell
***
Best,
Maria
