Hi all, 

Not sure if this is the right way to ask this, but I have a question about the 
skimnotes tool (http://sourceforge.net/p/skim-app/wiki/SkimNotes_Tool/).

I have a relatively large database of .skim notes that I would like to convert 
into .txt or .rtf documents (so that DocFetcher can find them). 

Today I found out about the skimnotes tool and it works great, the only problem 
is that it only seems to work on single files. 

When there is only one .pdf file in the active directory (Mac terminal), and I 
run the command: "./skimnotes get -format rtf example.pdf", or when I run 
"./skimnotes get -format rtf *.pdf" I get an .rtf file with the notes of that 
pdf in the same directory. This works perfectly fine.

But when I have two pdf's or more in that directory, and I run the command 
"./skimnotes get -format rtf *.pdf" or "./skimnotes get -format rtf $(find 
*.pdf)" I do not get any .rtf file, and instead, one of the pdf's is greatly 
reduced in size and has become un-openable.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug in the tool?

Is there any easy way to convert a large number of .skim notes into .rtf or 
.txt files? Am I on the right track?

Thanks a lot in advance! And thanks for working on this great software!

Best,

Misha
