macOS 10.13 Preview and excerptor: crash

[stoettner]

Hi all,
on macOS 10.13 Preview crashes when linking from a md file.

That means, the excerptor feature that creates single md files is opened. It contains a Zotero link. Before macOS 10.13 clicking on that link led directly to the respective annotation in the pdf. Now it crashes.

Nota bene: Skim is suffering from a PDF rendering issue since macOS 10.13 leading to the opened PDF mirrored. Skim development mentions that since Skim uses the Preview PDF rendering feature it can do little to fix it.

Hope you can fix this.

thanks and reg,
wolf
