I have been using Textmate together with PDFView on my powerbook w/ out any problems. Recently I moved my account to Mac OS X Server. And it won't work till then.

On the local machine I installed Latex/Textmate/PDFView. A test with Texshop worked w/out any problems. But when I cmd-R in Textmate no preview is shown (the pdf is typesetted correctly, though). TM_LATEX_VIEWER is set to PDFView, but nothing happens.

What exactly does the results window show?

I take it if you unset TM_LATEX_VIEWER it works? Try change it to Preview.

Also try in TM to enter the following and press ⌃R (this will show you where it finds the previewer you have setup): find_app "$ {TM_LATEX_VIEWER}.app"

Did you set other TM-variables, like TM_LATEX_ERRLVL?

find_app finds Preview but not PDFView

TM_LATEX_VIEWER = Preview works TM_LATEX_VIEWER = PDFView DOES NOT WORK

which seams quite clear since TM only finds Preview.

Okay, so try in Terminal to run:

open -a PDFView

Also, is the casing correct?

Next, try the following two commands, and then the find_app again:

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/ Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support lsregister -kill -r /System/Library/CoreServices /Applications / Developer/Applications

If you PDFView is not in /Applications, add the folder to the list above.

Hi Allan,

You may need to specify the ./ path if . isn't in your path (and it shouldn't be IMO)...

(using shorter lines for better pasting...)

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework cd Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support ./lsregister -kill -r /System/Library/CoreServices \ /Applications /Developer/Applications

Hi Haris,

PDFView works fine from the finder (even from the terminal when I am in the Applications directory and type open "./PDFView.app")

Doing the lsmagic made my quad working for some time but did not help.

Thanks for all your help Christoph

I presume you have run PDFView by double-clicking on it, and that works? If not, then do the commands work after you do that?

Hi Christoph,

Is it possible you have another copy of PDFView.app somewhere around, in the trash perhaps? Are there no messages in the Console?

Hi Allan,

thanks for your kind help. Here are the results:

#From TM TM: find_app PDFView.app TM: /Applications/PDFView.app TM: TM: find_app net.sourceforge.pdfview TM: /Applications/PDFView.app

#From Terminal % open -b net.sourceforge.pdfview % (opens PDFView w\out any probs) % % open -a PDFView.app % (opens PDFView w\out any probs)

#I observed something strange: set to preview TM: find_app "${TM_LATEX_VIEWER}.app" TM: /Applications/Preview.app

set to PDFView TM: find_app "${TM_LATEX_VIEWER}.app" TM: …well nothing happens

I do not see a pattern there. Greetings Chris

Casing means if the proper characters are upper or lowercase. E.g. PDFView and not PDFview.

Try from TM (press ctrl-R after that line):

 find_app net.sourceforge.pdfview

And from Terminal:

 open -b net.sourceforge.pdfview

yepp, white-space is the proper hint. Even though I checked it a hundred times (Value), I never checked Variable.

Wouldn't it be possible to check this and remove white-space for certain variables.

Thanks for your help. Now everything works fine. This support proved the superiority of the TM-Software/Community.

My guess is that TM_LATEX_VIEWER does not have the proper value. Maybe some leading/trailing spaces?

Try ⌃R on the below line:

 echo "${TM_LATEX_VIEWER}.app"

 • add quotes around the viewer in the "not found" error, that

way, if the user has leading/trailing spaces in the variable, it should be more obvious.

BUT: since I wrote "TM_LATEX_VIEWER " this will not help
