Ehud,
First of all why compile to tex and then to pdf, instead of doing this
directly?
There are however (at least) two ways of doing this:
First look in the
Document
pulldown for
View [PDF (LuaTeX)]
can be also
[PDF (pdflatex)]
which is tied (in my case) to CMD-R
Then in
Perferences -> File Handling -> File Formats -> Format:
look for
[PDF (LuaTeX)]
and set
Viewer: [Custom] [open -a Skim.app $$i]
click
Apply
and perhaps do same for
[PDF (pdflatex)]
You can also select an PDF in the finder and then enter
CMD-I
which will open a window with lots of information and you usually would
find
Open With: ...
showing
Preview.
You can change that in the Pulldown to Skim for this (single) file or
for all files, so that double clicking on a PDF will open it with skim,
and the default method of opening PDFs in Skim would also change to
skim.
I do the latter, as I use skim for almost every PDF.
greetings, el
