I am using Skim to watch a PDF using the refresh mechanism. Another program creates the PDF and replaces it and Skim shows the changes so I don't have to do any mousing. (Automation is provided by my atchange program, http://alum.mit.edu/www/toms/atchange.html.) This works beautifully. However, I often have documents that are entirely in landscape mode, and for these I use the Rotate button in the tools to switch the page I'm looking at. Upon refresh Skim shows the same page but the rotation is lost every time. It seems to me that the state of simultaneous rotation of ALL of the pages is only 2 bits since there are 4 possible orientations. Skim keeps an integer (the current page) and a second integer should not be much trouble to maintain too. Then the pages would transparently remain rotated upon refresh.
I reported this as a bug but Christiaan Hofman repeatedly closed it without any explanation, claiming that it would take N bits for N pages and that it would be very expensive. That can't be right because Skim remembers the page it was on already. Is there someone on this list who is willing to hold a reasonable conversation about the issue? Are there other developers for this beautiful software? Thanks! Tom Thomas D.
