I'm running TextMate version 2.0-beta.6 on OSX 10.9.5. Skim is my preferred viewer but every time I render a latex file I get not only the normal operation of Skim either opening or refreshing but also TeXShop opens and displays a blank new file. I'm not sure why this happens, Skim is the default in my preferences and I tried editing the default viewer in latex_watch.pl but the behavior continues. One workaround that does stop this from happening is to just delete the TeXShop commands from refresh_viewer.scpt. Unfortunately this is only a temporary fix, that script keeps reverting to it's original version and then the behavior resumes. Maybe textmate keeps updating the latex bundle after I change it? I'm not sure.
Does anyone know what the issue is here? Or can anyone suggest a more permanent workaround?

do you use “Typeset & View (PDF)” or “Watch document” to generate your files? `latex_watch.pl` is only used in the second command.

My first thought was that my horrible AppleScript skills are responsible for your problem :(. The command seems to work fine for me, although I see a small change in the Dock, it grows and shrinks a few pixels, when I run the command. It could be that this growing and shrinking is caused by TeXShop.

If you only change the content of the bundle inside the folder `~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles/` then indeed the changes get overwritten every time the bundle is updated.
Does anyone know what the issue is here?
Unfortunately in the moment I can only speculate. Can you please try to reset to defaults (https://github.com/textmate/textmate/wiki/Reverting-To-Defaults) and check if the issue remains? If yes: It would be really helpful if you could post steps to reproduce your problem.
Or can anyone suggest a more permanent workaround?
A permanent workaround would be to uninstall the bundle inside the preferences and then clone the Bundle from [Github](https://github.com/textmate/latex.tmbundle) into the folder `~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles/`. You can do that by issuing the following commands inside Terminal:
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles/ git clone https://github.com/textmate/latex.tmbundle.git
After that you can change the content of `refresh_viewer.scpt` and they changes should be permanent unless you install the bundle inside `TextMate` again. However, I really would like to fix the issue. Has anybody else the same problems?

Hi all, I've noticed this issue too. I'm using TextMate 2.0-beta6 on OS X 10.9.5 with Skim as my preferred viewer as well, and I have the same behavior. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the Latex bundle but that doesn't help. The first time I compile using TextMate and Skim with "Typeset & View (PDF)", TexShop won't launch. It will start only after the second Latex compile with "Typeset & View (PDF)". I haven't tried to fiddle around with refresh_viewer.scpt or latex_watch.pl.
Cheers, Angelo

that is valuable information. Thank you. I am still unable to reproduce the error though :(. Could it be that you modified the bundle somehow? You can check for changes by running the following command inside Terminal:
mdfind -name latex.tmbundle | grep -E '.tmbundle$'
This should give you one line of output similar to this:
/Users/rene/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles/LaTeX.tmbundle
If there is more than one result, is it likely that you modified the bundle.
Which version of TeXShop do you use? I have version “3.48.1” installed here. Does it work if you upgrade to the latest version?
I haven't tried to fiddle around with refresh_viewer.scpt or latex_watch.pl.
From your description it seems that `refresh_viewer.scpt` or something similar is the culprit. `latex_watch.pl` is only used in “Watch Document” — my personal favorite method to translate LaTeX documents.
One additional thing you can do is to revert to the default settings (https://github.com/textmate/textmate/wiki/Reverting-To-Defaults). If that does not work, then there is always the possibility to file an issue at the official bundle repository: http://github.com/textmate/latex.tmbundle/issues
If you have any additional pointers that could help me to reproduce the problem I would be very grateful. Thanks for your bug report.
Cheers, Angelo
