System: OS X 10.10
Preview version: 8.0
When a pdf file opened by Preview is updated by another program (such as pdflatex), Preview will automatically reload it, which is good. However, Preview always shows the first page of the updated file, which is inconvenient.
Is it possible to configure Preview such that after reloading the same page gets displayed? This seems to be the behavior of one older version (at least for the one on 10.7).

There seems to be no way to make Preview.app do this, but Skim offers this feature.
On my system, using
pdflatex, Skim will 'jerk' for a split second as it reloads, but it does return to the right position on the current page.
