First, Skim looks like a great app — kudos to the dev team!
Next, some questions, if you don't mind:
1) I gather that my notes are saved both as extended attributes on the PDF
file, and in .skim files. Question: is there a way to turn off storage of
notes in the x-attributes, and only save to the .skim files?
2) I am using Skim mainly to highlight passages of a PDF, and add my own
comments to these notes. Question: what would you think of very basic
markdown support in the notes? I.e., when a setting is enabled in the
Preferences, the notes could understand "#" (atx-style headers), ">" to
indicate the note text from the PDF, and "*" or "**" for emphasis
(bold/italic). Would it be technically feasible to display this kind of
simple formatting in the Notes pane?
3) The notes I create often include words broken by hyphenation at the end
of a line. This is an artifact of how PDF represents lines of text in a
paragraph. Question: any opinions on a feature to clean up the notes by
removing these hyphens when the note is first created? Again, it could be
something optional, enabled by a setting in the Preferences.
4) Where can I find details on the format of the .skim files? I.e., let's
say I want to read them with another app. I have looked at the source code
for Skim, but there are so many different files, I feel kind of lost.
Thanks in advance!
