Amazing, this works perfectly! Thanks Christiaan.
Side window in presentation should have dark appearance. Make side window flatter on 11.0+.
round rect for rect of image
You can do this from the command line using the defaults command. You can export the bookmarks to file using: defaults export net.sourceforge.skim-app.skim.bookmarks BOOKMARKS_FILE.plist And you can import the bookmarks from file using: defaults import net.sourceforge.skim-app.skim.bookmarks BOOKMARKS_FILE.plist This can also be useful for backup.

BTW, you can make the preview larger. See the Hidden Preferences on the Wiki for details.
As I thought, this is indeed controlled by a setting that Apple has not included in the API, so it is only (officially) available for Apple developers. We will activate that option in the next release.

Okay, then I understand. That is to say, to firmly bind the .skim file with the .pdf, it must be saved as .pdfd. Thank you very much for your patient answer!
Bundling the PDF and the .skim notes file is what a PDF bundle (.pdfd) is. So this is the most reliable way to save them separately in (synchronizable) files and still keep them together. I am not completely sure what you mean by binding .skim notes to a .pdf file, but if the .pdf and .skim file have the same base name and are in the same folder, Skim may read the notes from the .skim file if you open the .pdf. Whether it does and how, depends on the hidden preferences I mentioned. But of course...
Wow, thank you! This method meets my needs! Also, do I have to save my annotated PDFs as a PDF bundle (save as .pdfd) so that the .skim notes can be bundled with it in a file? Is it possible to bind .skim notes to a .pdf file (save as .pdf)?
An alternative is to save your annotated PDFs as a PDF bundle. This essentially bundles the PDF and the .skim notes file in a single package, so they don't get separated.

I don't understand what you mean by being able to "saving the highlights of the PDF". You did not say you were not able to do that? Also, I don'ty see how switching to the old style Skim notes would be relevant to any of this. This only changes the format of the data inside the EAs and the way the names of the EAs are formed. They fundamentally don't change anything about how the way the notes are saved and the file is affected. So they cannot have any effect on being able to backupo or anything...
I made a new discovery: I opened "Skim-Options-General-✅Write Old Skim Notes" in the Skim APP, and I was able to save the highlights of the PDF. Although there was still a problem with saving the file on the NAS (the file was not uploaded correctly as a "new file"), at least the highlights were saved. And in this process, I did not use the .skim file to load the highlights. Hope you can tell me why, thank you!

That's a pity, but thanks for the help you provided! I will also try to see if this method can fulfill my needs from another angle.
I found a workaround for the problem you could apply. Set a transition in the Presentation Options with 0 duration. You could best use a relatively non intrusive transition like Cover or Reveal.
No, the md5 cannot be changed. It's not a property of the file, it's a signature for the content data. And we don't change the content, avoiding that is (part of) the point of how we save (creating new PDF data is a very expensive operation, and especially the way Apple does it, error prone). BTW, the Finder tags would have the same problems on their own, as they are also saved in the EAs. However, if you automatically save an .skim notes backup, and set both hidden prefs fo external note reading...
The main problem I faced was that after using skim to highlight the PDF, the md5 of the file did not change, causing the file's editing to fail to be saved in the NAS. Not only does this make the highlighting disappear, but it also makes the PDF tags I marked in Mac Finder disappear. If the md5 of the file can be changed after the highlighting operation, the modifications to the PDF can also be retained. So is there any operation that allows me to change the md5 value of the PDF before saving it?...

If you set the preference to automatically save a .skim backup, you can also set some hidden preferences to control whether Skim will read the notes from it. Automatically or on demand, and perhaps to prefer the .skim backup over the notes in the EA, what you need may depend on how notes are synchronized. See the Hidden Preferences on the Wiki for details.
What is exactly the problem you face? When you talk about "the modifications", do you mean modifications made by Skim, or modification made by the sync task? And is the problem that the changes from Skim are lost, or that the changes are not backed up? And does the sync task actually synchronize EAs? I am not familiar myself on how this particular sync system works. One thing you may be able to do is automatically save a Skim notes backup (see the General preferences).
Is there any other way to solve my current problem? Thanks!

We cannot make it unbounded. So it will almost always be cropped. It is a preview, not a full display. We try to position the content as best as possible, and that is as far as we can go.

No, this cannot be changed.

Increase row spacing in find tableview
Thank you. I'm looking forward to the new update!
The next release will have an option in the contextual menu to allow highlighting all results rather than just the selected ones. We cannot put the results in another pane, that would not make sense in the UI and confuse with other features. However, you will be able to switch to the contents or pages while searching,and back to the search results, while maintaining the search result highlights. I will also increase the row spacing a bit.
Highlight all search results in all pages
Add find pane state items to View menu. Allow switching to thumbnails or ToC when searching,and back to (grouped) search results, without resetting search.
Clearing search already switches table
Make sure search is cleared when switching to thumbnails or ToC
Add option to highlight all search results rather than the selected, accessed through context menu
just to clarify potential helpful new features: 1. search function can highlight all results automatically without the user to manually select from the left panel. 2. separate the search results panel from the the outline or thumbnails panel. Current version merge them together so when you search in a pdf, you can't see the outline or thumbnails. 3. maybe a hidden preferences that can adjust line space of the outline. I found the current line space being too narrow. thank you
It's not really clear what "that feature" should be.
Of course you can also just use Go > Back to move back to where you were.

This should be fixed for the next release.
The test version works. Even better: It additionally fixes #1499 (using the apple script from my initial posting and a different editor than described in #1499, had the same problem before), the page number is updated instantaneously and after building, one remains at the same position. Yeah! Thanks a lot, hope this finds its way in the next version.
