dear all,
all of a sudden the typeset & view window displays the message
"There was a problem reading the preferences file, continuing with defaults"
have been working on a big projekt for hours, just editing tex files and command-R all the time. restart of textmate doesn't change anything. restart of the machine is of no help either.
any ideas? or any ideas what might have caused this behavior?

Assuming you have svn installed and are using the default LaTeX bundle:
cd /path/to/TextMate.app cd Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin svn cat > newplistlib.py http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin/n...
This should overwrite the Python plist parser with one that has a workaround for this problem.

thanks for the prompt response!
i have the LaTeX bundle from the svn server. i tried the above nonetheless - to no avail.
so i moved the stuff from the svn repository away - and things are fine again. is this just a cutting edge problem (which i wouldn't mind)?

Well, I gave instructions on how to update _the default_ version of the plist library. If you have checked out a newer version, that one eclipse the default version.

That is because when you moved away the stuff you had checked out, you reverted to the default, and you had updated the default, per my instructions.
So if you move back the checked out stuff _and update it_ (svn up) it should work.
