Skim has always saved these extended attributes. This is the way Skim saves the
note data.
Are you sure this also recently started on 10.10? That would be strange as
neither Skim nor 10.10 would have changed in this respect. As for 10.13,
perhaps Apple is making trouble due to the new file system they use on 10.13.
Could it be that your external file system has a very restrictive limit on the
length of external attributes?
Also, can you find more detailed error messages, perhaps from Console.app, and
also from the alert, about the failing saves? And perhaps the crash? (This is
rather hard on 10.13).
