Hi all,
I'm also interested in forward search of Skim. Someone may need "-g" option for
displayline
not to bring Skim.app to the foreground. It can be useful to work with wide
display for keeping
the focus on editor. The naming "-g" is same manner as "open" command.
If it works, I would like to ask Christiaan to consider this small addition.
-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# displayline (Skim)
#
# Usage: displayline [-r] [-b] [-g] LINE PDFFILE [TEXSOURCEFILE]
if [ $# == 0 -o "$1" == "-h" -o "$1" == "-help" ]; then
echo "Usage: displayline [-r] [-b] [-g] LINE PDFFILE [TEXSOURCEFILE]"
exit 0
fi
# get arguments
revert=0
bar=0
activate=1
while [ "${1:0:1}" == "-" ]; do
if [ "$1" == "-r" -o "$1" == "-revert" ]; then
revert=1;
elif [ "$1" == "-b" -o "$1" == "-readingbar" ]; then
bar=1
elif [ "$1" == "-g" -o "$1" == "-background" ]; then
activate=0
fi
shift
done
line=$1
file="$2"
[ $# -gt 2 ] && source="$3" || source="${file%.pdf}.tex"
# expand relative paths
[ "${file:0:1}" == "/" ] || file="${PWD}/${file}"
[ "${source:0:1}" == "/" ] || source="${PWD}/${source}"
# pass arguments as NULL-separated string to osascript
# pass through cat to get them as raw bytes to preserve non-ASCII characters
echo -ne
