Hi, I'm experiencing some trouble running the auto-reload feature of Skim. It seems that Skim doesn't wait for the pdf to be closed by the TxMt command. Looks like it was trying to reload the file as soon as a single bit is added to it, imho.
What's more, a warning popup tells me Skim is "Unable to open the file", but when TxMt is done compiling (displaying the # of errors and warnings in the output window), I can reload the file successfully.
Have you ever noticed such a behaviour, Skim users? Any ideas of workarounds?

I have experienced the same behavior. If you switch the focus away from Skim, weirdly, the pdf loads then. Might be a good idea to post a query to the Skim mailing list.
Best, Mark

I don't have that problem (Skim Version 0.3 (v3) ). Does TM have any problems compiling the file perhaps? Have you tried with smaller files that would compile quicker?

I've just tried... it works. Maybe the first time I feel disapointed when something runs fine.

I haven't seen it, but it sounds like a problem that Christiaan (main Skim developer) fixed this morning. If you can build Skim from source (requires subversion and Xcode installed), it would be nice to know if that truly was the problem.
