Thanks! This seems plausible, as now I keep seeing more and more occurrences of these inexplicably long delays. Bob Harper (c) Robert Harper All Rights Reserved.

I don't remember what I did to get rid of it, I think changing the last selected folder in the Open panel. You may find some information about what is...

From what I can determine now the problem is with my machine, rather than with Skim, although at first that was the only symptom. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the help.

Um, what did I fail to provide? I could provide a screen shot of a spinning beach ball on the Open dialogue, but it wouldn’t convey more information than I just did.

As far as I am aware, this exchange results from me filing a bug report on Source Forge. Is there something else I am to do?

It may help for me to use this web interface on source forge. If I do "open -a Skim file.pdf", it does not open the file, nor does it return. It resists a kill, I must do a sudo kill -9 to terminate it. If I use the File/Open menu, when I navigate to file.pdf, it gives me a permanent spinning beach ball, and is marked Unresponsive in the Force Quit menu.

I would add that all other app’s work fine, including file open dialogs. Bob (c) Robert Harper All Rights Reserved.
