[Skim-app-users] skimnotes does not use current version of notesTemplate.txt

[Peter Karner]

Hello,

I have customized the ~/Library/Application Support/Skim/Templates/notesTemplate.txt in several iterations to better be able to process the notes.

Now, when I export my notes with this modified template through Skim itself, the resulting txt file looks just like I expect.

However, when I do the same through the skimnotes tool with a command like

skimnotes get -format text „~/Document-with-notes.pdf“ -

the output shows an error in the formatting that I had corrected in the template several iterations back. It somehow looks to me like skimnotes uses an older (cached?) version of the template instead of the most recent version.

Can somebody shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Peter

The tool does not know anything about the template, or templates
whatsoever. The template parsing and management code is only part of the
app. The tool just creates a text version that is basically the same as
that from the template. The tool provides just a simplified action relative
to the app.
