Please do not use 1.4.33 when you have a large number of notes! This has a
writing bug, and I see you ran into that (from the "failed to read unique key
net_sourceforge_skim-app_unique_key for 0 fragments from property list.”
error). You should update to 1.4.34 ASAP. This may well be the cause of some of
your problems.
Also, I have found that on 10.13 a Save from a cocoa app (e.g. Preview) will
truncate the extended attributes to a very small size (0.5kB), even smaller
than we use (and we are very conservative with a maximum size of 2kB). Perhaps
you run into that problem somehow.
As for the draft saving attribute failure, I don’t really know what happens
there. We certainly don’t do that, so it must be in the standard saving handler
from Cocoa. So that would be a problem with the System, and perhaps some app
having left the file in some problematic state.
As for the closing window crash, I don’t really have any idea about that. This
is all private core graphics stuff, so I get the impression that may be a bug
in PDFKit.
