The template I use is based on this one:
http://ug.bu.edu/blog/lingtech/2009/03/22/even-better-bibdesk-preview-pane/
<http://ug.bu.edu/blog/lingtech/2009/03/22/even-better-bibdesk-preview-pane/>,
albeit heavily modified.
As you can see, it uses a CSS/HTML based template.
I use the <$textSkimNotes/> key to get the sorted Skim notes. Since there is no
way for BibDesk itself to retrieve the Skim notes sorted by page position in a
template file , I also had to modify the Skim template that determines the
result of the <$textSkimNotes/> (that is notesTemplate.txt in
~/Library/Application Support/Skim/Templates) in order to nest different note
types based on type and highlight colour in different divs (which is why in my
screenshot, some “notes” appear as clickable links, those were section headings
that I highlight in a different colour).
So in summary, the content of the part of the sidebar template that displays
the Skim notes is something like this:
<$SkimNotes?>
<div class="SkimNotes">
<h3>Skim Notes:</h3>
<$textSkimNotes/>
</div>
</$SkimNotes?>
The content of <$textSkimNotes/> is a function of the notesTemplate.txt file,
which looks something like this:
<$notes.@arraySortedByPageIndexAndBounds>
<$type=Highlight?>
<$textContents?>
<$color=NSDeviceRGBColorSpace 1 0.149131 0 1?>
<div class="SkimFootnotes"><$contents/> [<a
href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>">+ <$pageIndex/></a>]</div>
<?$color=NSDeviceRGBColorSpace 1 0.149134 1.01977e-06
1?>
<div class="SkimFootnotes"><$contents/> [<a
href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>">+ <$pageIndex/></a>]</div>
<?$color=NSDeviceRGBColorSpace 0 0.714682 1 1?>
<div class="SkimHeadings"><a
href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>"><$contents/></a></div>
<?$color=NSDeviceRGBColorSpace 0.999424 0.985554 0 1?>
<div class="SkimHighlights"><$contents/> [<a
href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>">+ <$pageIndex/></a>]</div>
<?$color=NSDeviceRGBColorSpace 0.986264 0.996537

<div class="SkimHighlights"><$contents/> [<a

<?$color=NSDeviceRGBColorSpace 1 0.576371 3.14053e-06
1?>
<div class="SkimQuotes"><$contents/> [<a

<?$color=NSDeviceRGBColorSpace 1 0.576372 0 1?>
<div class="SkimQuotes"><$contents/>
[<a href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>">+
<$pageIndex/></a>]</div>
<?$color?>
<div class="SkimHighlights"><$contents/> [<a
href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>">+ <$pageIndex/></a>]</div>
</$color?>
<?$textContents?>
</$textContents?>
<?$type=Underline?>
<div class="SkimUnderlined"><$contents/> [<a
href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>">+ <$pageIndex/></a>]</div>
<?$type=Note?>
<div class="SkimComments"><$contents/> [<a
href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>">+ <$pageIndex/></a>]</div>
<?$type=FreeText?>
<div class="SkimComments"><$contents/> [<a
href="skimmer-x://<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/>">+ <$pageIndex/></a>]</div>
<?$type?>
No matching template for this type of note.
</$type?>
</$notes.@arraySortedByPageIndexAndBounds>
The different div classes used in the Skim template, in turn, however, are
defined in the BibDesk template.
PS: The skimmer-x part in my template is based on my custom URL scheme based on
this one
(http://jones.kaist.edu/notebook/2012/09/creating-a-custom-url-scheme-via-applescript-and-python.html
<http://jones.kaist.edu/notebook/2012/09/creating-a-custom-url-scheme-via-applescript-and-python.html>)
but taking advantage of the effect that the link is displayed in BibDesk and –
provided the publication has only one local file – I can thus determine the
current location of the file.

Jan Jakob
