Jason-

Is your compiled app file downloadable somewhere?

Thanks,
Bill

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.



Thanks,



Jason
