Dear Skimmers, I am a very happy Skim user and I am impressed with the constant improvemments Skim undergoes. However, there are two issues that I ran into:
(1) I work in a setup where TeX files residing on a server running OS X Server (10.6.7) are previewed using Skim (1.3.13) on client machines running OS X (10.6.7). TeX is running on the server and TeX runs are initiated remotely by clients running the Terminal; the TeX files and resulting PDF files are located on remote home directories mounted via AFP. I let Skim check for file changes. The trouble is that the reload time after a TeX run varies from instantly to a few seconds, which can be annoying when performing a lot of TeX runs. The client machine seems to take a varying amount of time to notice a file refresh of the previewed pdf. I suspect that this problem is not caused by Skim, but rather by the AFP connection to the server, as on local volumes the file reload works flawlessly. As a work-around, it would be nice to have a 'Reload' button in Skim, to force a file reload manually. Additionally, it may be convenient to have an option 'Reload on activate' which causes a Skim window to reload the previewed file when the window is activated, whether the file has changed or not. (2) Another thing is that PDF-TeX Sync support (using synctex), which is working great in OS X, is broken in OS X Server. Is there a way to debug the synctex behaviour in OS X Server? I would be glad if I could be of any help to fix this issue. Best!
