Just before receiving your message :) I found this thread on the mailing list: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.macosx.skim.user/3943 that explained the cache. So I did a defaults delete net.sourceforge.skim-app.skim.bookmarks and then copied the preferences backups over, and lo and behold, I got my files back. The first thing I did was making a session backup. Anyway, thanks for the help. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
