Robin,<br><br>I tried to move the <span id="__firefox-findbar-search-id" style="padding: 0pt; background-color: yellow; color: black; display: inline; font-size: inherit;">Latex Watch</span> command into the branch today.&nbsp; But I&#39;m not having much luck when I try to use it.
<br><br>When I first try to watch a file I it compiles and displays just fine. &nbsp; But, if I make any changes the view does not update.&nbsp; I get the following error in the log:<br><br>entering extended mode<br>This is pdfTeXk, Version 
3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)<br>&nbsp;%&amp;-line parsing enabled.<br>entering extended mode<br>true<br>Use of uninitialized value in system at /Users/bmiller/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin/latex_watch.pl line 690.
<br><br>More importantly, I think there are two issues to think about:<br><br>1.&nbsp; It feels like there must be a ton of duplicated effort between the typeset and view command as implemented in texMate.py and friends and what you have done.&nbsp; 
texMate.py is pretty modular, and may be able to do much of what latex_watch.pl does.&nbsp; <br><br>2.&nbsp; I don&#39;t understand the limitation about not being able to watch files that have the \begin document in an included header file.&nbsp; If there is some previous discussion on this maybe you could point me to the email.&nbsp; If not could you give me a quick overview of the problem.

Latex Watch</span> can easily find them. (Also, I&#39;d be delighted if Watch<br>were integrated into the main LaTeX bundle. I can see no particular<br>reason for it not to be, and people seem to find it useful.)<br><br>I agree that supporting the existing environment variables is not an
<br>essential feature. The current situation is such a mess, it&#39;s probably<br>a good idea to ditch it and start again.<br><br>Robin<br><br>______________________________________________________________________<br>For new threads USE THIS:
