Any reason why we can't just offer the user the option of a "custom
script" in the popup, with a text field next to it for them to write
the full path to the script? Then, I think, users should be able to
port their "engines" from TeXShop just fine. (Btw, I think your use
of the word "engine" in the menu might be slightly different than
TeXShop's).
My intention was not to follow TeXShop. I think of latex, pdflatex, xelatex as different typesetting engines. But, there may be a better word that we could use there.
In other words, just like they now select latexmk.pl, they should be
allowed to type an arbitrary path to a shell script there. (That was
in fact the point of the TM_LATEX_COMPILER variable).
What do you think of the attached screen shot?
Btw, why is latexmk.pl an option in the popup? Is it independent of
the four options there?
I didn't put it in the popup because its not the same thing as the others. Plus, potentially latexmk.pl
could be instructed to use the engine specified by the popup.
