Skim loses track of page when syncing with macvim if not active window
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?...
Add row actions for snapshot table to delete, show, or hide
Validate page from page sheet
Move to normal window level while editing presentation srttings in presentation mode, to allow any warning alerts to be visible
Allow floats in duration field
Combine side view swapping methods
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!

Information in Reference preview is cropped
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.
PDFs in synchronized folders on Synology NAS cannot be saved after editing.
No, this cannot be changed.

use property for search string
method to see if we display any find table
don't use mixed state for left side pane menu items
use NSControlStateValue enum values
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.

Skim loses track of page when syncing with macvim if not active window
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.

I have a test version at https://skim-app.sourceforge.io/Skim.zip. Could you download this and see whether this fixes your issue? the test version is not notarized, so you may need to allow apps from unidentified developers in your Security & Privacy preferences.
case insensitive strings should be strong
When using displayline with either no option, -b option or -n option, it shows the correct behaviour when the file was previously closed. All subsequent runs of displayline only focus the window, but show no markup and don’t scroll. Even if syncing with the same or a nearby line (no scrolling needed), no markup is shown. Before I only searched for skim in console.app and found nothing. Now I started “streaming” and compared the output for versions 1.6.21 and 1.7.1. The latter shows standard 14:25:43...

Yes, I can also remember what page I was when hit cmd+a in the table to select all the results and that relocate to that page by imput the page number in the "Go To Page". I really like the design of Skim so I hope it can have that function in the future.
Synctex not working since 1.7
Strange. This works without problems for me. And we did not change anything for 1.7. Is nothing working for you, also if you do select? Perhaps only the scrolling does not work? Is there anything in the Console logs?
No. Although you can then walk through the results using the right-arrow key.
Thanks for this. It works but when I select all results it will automatically locate to the first result which is a bit annoying when working with a 300+ pages PDF. Is there any possible solution for that?
Highlight all search results in all pages
You can do that by simply selecting all results in the table.

can assign constraint ivar earlier, avoid using extra variable
macro for inset to hide border
get constraints from superview implicitly
I see it now, and I also see it in normal display in single page mode. I filed a bug report with Apple about this.
allow vertical mouse wheel to scroll horizontally in horizontal continuous mode
Scrolling is implemented by Apple's PDFKit. So this is a feature request for Apple, not us.
allow vertical mouse wheel to scroll horizontally in horizontal continuous mode
Presentation Mode Flickering
As the display of the pages (and the navigation) is done by Apple's PDFKit, there is nothing we can do about this. BTW, I don't see this myself, it may be OS or hardware dependable.
Presentation Mode Flickering
Use layout anchors to build constraints
rename enum value
no need for cclipping view to be an NSClipView
no need to start from top bar of find bar
Put find bar in a clipview so it isn't animated behind the title bar
Tag for release
update version numbers for release
I don't think appearance of pdfview scrollers was handled correctly already in 10.15, so make sure we get the correct appearance
simplify ivar name
use a custom struct for our destination as pageIndex and point
Can you tell what you searched for?
I wanted to report the issue, but I saw this earlier report. A publicly available PDF that shows the problem is at https://texdoc.org/serve/nicematrix/0 Maybe you can test the fix also with this one.

update releasee notes
Hi Christiaan. Sorry to be a bother but when will the next release come out? I'm having this issue and can't figure a work around, which is making it impossible to scour the data manual I am using for a class.
Override scrollPageUp: and scrollPageDown: because Apple scrolls by too much, especially when the contentInset is set manually or the toolbar style is expanded
always call goToPage: when scrolling to sync location
