While on the subject of LaTeX viewers, I wonder if it'd be possible to add options to the Typeset & View screen such as 'Display in this Window', 'Open in Preview' and 'Open in PDFView'.
That's an interesting idea, I hadn't thought of that. Currently we use TM_LATEX_VIEWER to guide us, and default to html preview if it is not set. We could have it so that if this variable is not set then the user gets to pick which viewer they want (and with a helpful message that if they want to declare a preferred viewer, then they can set the above variable). Should be easy to do I think, and I kind of like the idea. It offers a new user with reasonable options. Hardest part would probably be figuring out what previewers are installed in the user's system, but I think find_app can do that for us, at least for the standard ones.
Any thoughts from other LaTeX users? Would this be helpful?
Best, Alex
