Special-cases like that are hard to justify and/or support. For yourself, you could hack Skim to set a flag when you use the rotate action, then check that and call it after reverting a document. Personally, I have a few modifications to Skim that I keep here, and just periodically update from the Sourceforge subversion repo. As long as you have Xcode, it's painless to build from source. > (I see that synctex works with pdflatex, not straight latex - wouldn't > that would force me to abandon all my eps files from 20 years of > writing papers?) Not at all. You may know that latex itself is just a symlink to pdftex: $ ll /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-darwin/*tex |grep '\-> pdftex' lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 amstex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 cslatex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 etex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 jadetex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 latex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 mllatex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 mltex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 pdfcslatex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 pdfetex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 pdfjadetex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 pdflatex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 pdfxmltex -> pdftex lrwxr-xr-x 1 amaxwell wheel 6 Sep 28 10:20 xmltex -> pdftex As far as I know, any of these can accept the --synctex=1 option and create a synctex.gz file. Even with dvi, Skim will read your file and sync with the source, as long as you have an editor set up, or at least is appears to in a quick test. I was opposed to adding pdfsync/synctex but I have to say Christiaan has done a great job with it! Now, the other thing you might consider is the epstopdf package, which lets you use EPS graphics and process files with pdftex. This is the way I'd go, since you avoid Skim running dvipdfmx on your DVI files. http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/epstopdf.pdf http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=epstopdf-pkg IIRC in TeX Live 2010 you don't need to explicitly use --shell-escape, as it will use repstopdf underneath.
