Hi All,
I love using Skim for viewing the pdf files produced by LaTeX. But I don't like its auto-refresh behavior. It seems buggy, (crashes on auto-reload too often) and I hate having to click Auto every time Skim restarts.
So, I added some applescript goo to the Typeset & View command to tell Skim/TeXShop/TeXniscope to reload.
This means you could uncheck the box in Skim, et. al. that tells them to check for file updates and rely on TextMate to tell them when to reload. According to the TeX mailing list using applescript is also more resource efficient than having the viewer watch for file changes.
Would others also prefer to have this part of the bundle?

Have you filed a bug report with backtraces at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=192583&atid=941981
? It should never crash.

At least for Skim, this would be my preferred option. Then it's guaranteed to only try loading the file once, and can wait until all TeX runs are complete.
thanks, Adam

strange - doesn't happen on my machine - and i'm using it most of the day, working on latex files.

hello:)
I build packages using tex and latex, and I can say that Skim crashes often on auto-reload. I don't know where is the problem :
Wrong pdfs because I make some mistakes in my .sty files or in the documentation .tex or if it's only Skim ?
If it's because the pdf are wrong, then I will prefer a message
: " hey man , is it possible to make good PDFs for me ?"
than a crash.
But TextMate's laTeX bundle keeps on buildind pdf with mistakes (now we can find the mistakes in the log window, thanks !!) whereas Texshop stops the compilation.
So it is funny that Skim shows me my bad mistakes with crashes and not the Bundle. It is interesting sometimes to have a compilation for example if a package have a stupid mistake like the lake of }.
But I would like to stop the compilation on the first error except hbox, vbox warnings and reference warnings, how to make that ?
Regards
Alain

Please report this at the tracker address I noted above. Include the relevant portions of ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Skim.crash.log. Unreported bugs aren't likely to get fixed.
OK,
I committed this feature. svn up to get it.

Alain,
If you update to the latest Latex bundle in subversion, and uncheck the "Check for changes" box in Skim preferences Skim will no longer reload documents where you have errors.
I'm not sure why you want latex to stop processing after the first error? I like to see the whole list. But if you really want that behavior you can get it by adding -halt-on-error as an Option in the Latex bundle Preferences window.

Because my package is long (3500 lines) and the documentation has 150 pages with 3 to 4 graphs per page. I don't want to wait five minutes each time :)
