First of all, LaTeX Watch is brilliant! so please keep<br>on working on it. BTW, the trick of precompiling<br>and dumping the format should be made standard<br>in all tex apps, it's simply to good an idea.</blockquote>

Currently only affects the default, pdflatex, mode.<br>Supported values are 'TeXShop' (the default),<br>'TeXniscope' and 'PDFView'.<br><br>In 'latex' mode, it will currently always try to use gv.
<br></div><br>TM_LATEX_WATCH_DEBUG:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">Set to 'console' to print debugging messages to the console,<br>or to 'dialog' to pop them up in a dialog box.<br></div><br>Quite a short list really! I hope it's useful. Any questions,
<br>let me know.<br><br>Robin<br>
