Post by Peter Horn
Hi, my name is Peter, and I'm new to the Skim developer list.
I joined mail list because I want to help make Skim even better.
One thing I would like to bring up is the issue of cropping to the media box. There have been some feature requests along these lines. Some people object to this feature. I understand why you may not want to crop to the media box, but some people do. For example, I want this feature so I can read papers on my tiny Kindle screen. I don't need huge margins!
I can code this if necessary. (I have a working version).
It can be pretty idiot-proof. For example, let's say a user accidentally crops to media box and loses some viewable PDF data. No problem, in order for Skim to save the crop, you have to Export anyway, right? All the user has to do is close their PDF and reopen, and the cropping is gone.
Thoughts?
Peter

No, this is not better, it would be a regression. This has been discussed on and oin again on this list, and is a FAQ.
