Dear users of the textmate bundle for Latex,
I'm using the "Watch Document" command (is latex_watch.pl in version 2.8) in textmate to have my masters thesis always up-to-date when I change something in the tex file and hit save.
Since a few days this doesn't work as before, cause I'm running in a closed loop. When textmate starts watching my main document (the thesis is splitted in several files) it successfully compiles the document with pdflatex and displays me the result in my preferred viewer Skim. But after having done this it recompiles the whole file again and then reloads the file in Skim.
This is pretty annoying behaviour, cause I haven't changed anything in the main file, also it takes loads of cpu, speeds the macbooks fans up and is constantly refreshing Skim.
Wether there is a bug of "latex_watch.pl" or it observes a file which is updated through the initial and every following compilation and therefore runs in a closed loop.
I tried two versions of the latex.tmbundle so far. I think one was the original one which came with textmate and the other one was the one from the svn repository as of yesterday. Both show the same behaviour.
My question is now. How can I analyze the problem (closed loop). Is there a way to put the latex.tmbundle in debug mode so I can see some log messages? I tried this already by specifing the projects variable "TM_LATEX_WATCH_DEBUH = dialog" but without any success. I didn't found the debug output on my disk.
What are other ways? Whats are your advice?
Many Thanks,
Jan
