The problem is that the python plist parser available in Tiger did not handle non-printable characters, or dates that are far in the past/ future. After Leopard came out I updated the parser to make use of Leopard's if it was available, but you will have to update your Latex bundle from the subversion repository to get that.

Hello,

I am using build 1436 under Leopard. Whenever I run Typeset & View using the LaTeX bundle, I get an error message saying "There was a problem reading the preferences file, continuing with defaults", and the resulting pdf is displayed in the Typeset & View window itself regardless of any settings in my LaTeX preferences. Changing these preferences also has no effect. Now, I tried removing my com.macromates.textmate.plist file, and was able to change my pdf viewer setting in LaTeX preferences. This works fine, until I try to change this setting again, at which I point get the same error as before.

Any ideas on what the cause may be? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Preferences-file-could-not-be-read%2C-might-be-related... Sent from the textmate users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
