Hi!
Skim (skim-app.sourceforge.net), a very neat and free pdf-viewer supports now pdfsync and they set up a wiki with some instructions how to enable Skim as viewer for pdfsync in Textmate. But I think the instructions are more complex than they should be.
The site is: http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ LaTeX_and_PDFSync
Isn't it even in the standard-install of TextMate only necessary to set the Shell Variable TM_LATEX_VIEWER to Skim?
No, the LaTeX and View, and the other sync command, need to make an extra call if the viewer supports pdfsync. Currently we are only handling TeXniscope and PDFView, but I think we should be able to add Skim to the list.
I haven't tried Skim, what are its advantages over PDFView?
One reason TextMate should support Skim out of the box is that there is evidence that development of PDFView may halt. On the Sourceforge tracker, Andrea Bergia, PDFView’s developer, writes:[1]
Hello, I am the developer of PDFView, an application which seems superseded by your wonderful Skim in many regards. I actually plan to use it as my default PDF reader…
Best, Mark
