Hi all, it's me again, still wrapping my mind around some Skim idiosyncrasies.
I usually store the pdfs for my projects in Google Drive. One of my motivations to try Skim was to avoid the constant uploading of large files. I thought it would be nice to save frequent backups of the annotations and every once in a while to also store full PDF/A exports. But now I realize that each time I save a file in Skim it writes extended attributes and even though these are not synchronized to Google Drive (since it doesn't support them at all) the modification date for the file changes and it's uploaded to Google Drive anyway. It's the worst possible scenario because the only thing that actually changed (xattrs) is the only thing that's not synchronized, so I'm still constantly uploading a large file with the only difference being that now it's always the same file... Then I found out that Skim has a hidden setting to let it start from pdf+skim files, instead of reading the xattrs. So I can export skim files instead of saving the pdf, although this is a little inconvenient: a few extra steps and a confirmation to overwrite the existing skim file. I'm unable to find a way to get "save" to write skim files instead of xattrs. Is there any way?
