I've tried 'latex and view' again and it does now start up faster than I
remember!

Thanks for the great work,
Geoff

 Hi Ren,

 Your fix did the trick, thanks very much.

 The reasons I don't use 'typeset and view' are twofold. The main one is just
that it is a bit slow - I have to wait almost five seconds before it actually starts to
typeset, which may not seem very long but when I am 'debugging' it is a little
frustrating. Using a terminal window the typesetting starts instantly.    
 Commit 39b09967 [1] should improve the startup time of `texmate` significantly.

 I get an overhead of less than 0.3s if I use `texmate` on a minimal file. The translation
of the minimal file inside Terminal using the command `time pdflatex tmp.tex` takes 0.55s.
The following command ? basically simulating a run of ?Typeset & View (PDF)? ? inside
TextMate takes about 0.79s:

 ?
 #!/usr/bin/env bash

 BUNDLE_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Avian/Bundles/LaTeX.tmbundle"
 TM_BUNDLE_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Managed/Bundles"

 export TM_FILEPATH="tmp.tex"
 export TM_SUPPORT_PATH="$TM_BUNDLE_DIR/Bundle Support.tmbundle/Support/shared"
 export TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT="$BUNDLE_DIR/Support"
 export PATH="$BUNDLE_DIR/Support/bin":$PATH
 export TM_SELECTION='1:1'

 texmate.py -suppressview latex -latexmk no -engine pdflatex
 ?

 tmp.tex:
 ?
 \documentclass{article}

 \begin{document}
 Bla
 \end{document}
 ?

 Could you maybe test the above example and send in your results. If it takes multiples
seconds before `texmate` starts typesetting, then maybe your local copy of the bundle does
not contain the changes done in commit 5074427f [2]?

  The second reason is that I can go back and forth
between xelatex and pdflatex easily by setting up two scripts with different keyboard
shortcuts, which I find quite convenient.  
 You can change the typesetting engine used by ?Typeset & View (PDF)? with the
following commands:

    defaults write com.macromates.textmate.preview latexEngine xelatex
    defaults write com.macromates.textmate.preview latexEngine pdflatex

  I know there are some advantages to 'typeset
and view' and if it were a bit quicker, like the equivalent command in TexShop which
is quite fast, I would use it.  
 Hopefully the latest changes help.

  Thanks again
 Geoff  
 Kind regards,
  Ren?
