Hello
When I choose from the bundle Latex > Edit Configuration File
The in TextMate opening file is rather confusing. When I open this file in Proprety List Editor ists clear, but in TextMate its rather cryptic ...
To be more specific here what I meant.
Rewrite 'Edit Config File' in such a way:
There is no need for such rewrite. The file is originally in the old plist format, which is human readable. In fact, if you use the subversion version of the bundle, you will see it in that format without any problems. The "problem" is that part of the deployment phase of a new TM release is to convert all plist files to binary format, for efficiency. Unfortunately, this file also had the same extension, and hence was converted into this gibberish that can't be easily read by human beings. The reason I did not notice this is because I work with the subversion version of the bundle (which is often more uptodate btw). I will make the necessary changes when I get a chance, hopefully soon, so from the next TM release this should show up in a more human readable format. For now, I've attached the file in its proper form, so if you want to fix this, here are the steps:
1) save the attachment somewhere in your computer. 2) In the Finder locate the attachment. 3) In a new Finder window, locate the TextMate application, probably inside the Applications Folder. 4) Right-click (or control-click) and select (Show Package Contents). 5) Follow the folders Contents -> Shared Support -> Bundles, and locate the Latex.tmbundle. 6) Repeat step 4. 7) Enter the Support folder.and see the file latex_config.plist. 8) Drag the file you downloaded and drop it into this folder. Then you will be asked if you want to override the latex_config.plist file. Say yes. 9) You are done!
If you are not afraid of the terminal, you can instead run the one command:
mv path_to_downloaded_file /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/
where the path_to_downloaded_file is the path to where you saved your file. If you saved it on the desktop, it would be ~/Desktop/ latex_config.plist, so the command would be:
mv ~/Desktop/latex_config.plist /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/ SharedSupport/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/
