OK. So how about trusting the user who will tell Skim that there are indeed two symmetrical columns ? > Apart from that Skim does not support adding/removing pages, and never > will, for many good reasons. So there *is* a fundamental obstruction. OK again, we don't add pages. But we could display each page twice with different cropping parameters ... (some kind of a list of "virtual pages" for display, where a virtual page is a true page with a rectangle on it, and the display list defaults to the PDF itself). That's purely for viewing convenience, so it would be ok to lose the info when closing the file. If I had the time I would look at the source to see if what I am thinking of is within what is doable ... Anyway, that's far from being a life-and-death situation, and Skim is already vastly superior to all other viewers that I tried ! /v -- | Vincent Beffara Section de Mathématiques | | 2-4 rue du Lièvre | | Tél: (+41) 22 379 11 45 Case postale 64 | | Fax: (+41) 22 379 11 76 1211 Genève 4 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suisse | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Skim-app-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/skim-app-users
