I agree on all accounts. I made the patches because I needed the features quickly (to publish solution sets to math quizzes), and after playing for a bit with the code, the patches seemed pretty small and simple (thanks for making the source easy to read!). I'd rather not maintain a patched version of Skim---I'd rather that the official version incorporated this functionality. However, if the official version decides against this design, Git makes it easier to maintain these patches using git-svn to track the svn head. Please be aware that my small patches may possibly break other things horribly and cause your house to fall in or something. There are definitely no guarantees. They seem to work for me, though. As for your two bug/features that were fixed recently, those things seem to work well in full screen mode. You seem to indicate that you would really like them in presentation mode as well, and indicate that for an a4 document, you need to annotate it in presentation mode. Why does full screen mode not work for an a4 document? In fact, things seem nicer in full-screen mode since you can easily access the table of contents, change annotation tools, etc. As for having two versions of Skim, I just compiled my patched version and called it Skim-tablet (just renamed the app). Then I dragged it to my applications folder and things seem to work well (I can use either version just fine, and I can use them simultaneously, even). I don't know how it will work with auto-updates and things like that, though.
