I've just updated my OS to Monterey 12.3.1, (from 10.14.x) and Skim no longer works at all. When double clicked, it opens, but whenever I try to open a file, it just hangs. Sample attached.
It seems to hang resolving aliases for recently opened files. This is weird, as it even seems to use modern API for it. It really happens on the system code. I wonder if there is something wrong with your file system after the update.
Perhaps as a workaround you can clear the recent document info. When Skim does not run, type the following in Terminal.app and hit enter:
Thank you so much! That seems to have fixed it. I had already run Onyx to check the file system and clear caches, but that didn't solve the problem, but this definitely did. Thanks again!
