Hi, Art.

I usually don’t use Skim, but I tried to recreate this. It ended up working for me, but I noticed that I got a permissions popup from MacOS when I first invoked Skim from Aquamacs. Did you see anything like that when you ran it later?

Have you tried again starting Skim from Aquamacs after seeing it work when you started it beforehand?

I know this isn’t terribly helpful!
