My Mac Mini is configured to use Skim as the PDF viewer called from Textmate's LaTeX bundle, however I still view compiled .PDF files inside Textmate. I need help configuring Textmate so that it will automatically launch Skim.
Intel Mac Mini OS X: 10.4.10
Textmate version: 1.5.7 (1436) I have the following Textmate environment variables set in Preferences->Advanced->Shell Variables: TM_LATEX_ERRLVL 1 TM_LATEX_COMPILER latexmk.pl TM_LATEX_VIEWER Skim
Skim Version: 0.9.3 (v15) Skim has Prefereces->Sync "Check for file changes" checked and the Preset set to "Textmate".
I am using fink's LaTeX distribution.
Skim works. It is my default .PDF viewer in Finder. I can use it to open and view .PDF files.
If I successfully compile a LaTeX document in Textmate using apple-R, the compiled .PDF file appears in the "Typeset and View" window owned by Textmate instead of a Skim process.
I have another computer, a Mac Book, that as far as I can tell is configured identically. On this machine, Textmate launches Skim as its .PDF viewer as expected.
I'm out of ideas on how to debug this. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.

Iirc you have to use "Skim.app" (w/out ") but I'm not sure. I suggest that you update your TM-install (switch to cutting-edge - I'm using that since I'm using TM (two years or so) and I've never seen a crash) then you get Preferences in the bundle which you can easily set via a menu.

I tried changing TM_LATEX_VIEWER to Skim.app and got the same result.
Also, the machine on which Textmate/Skim do the right thing is running exactly the same version of Textmate as the one on which they don't.

Bill,
As of version 1414 or somewhere around there the LaTeX bundle stopped using those environment variables. Bring up the preferences dialog from the bundle menu or opt-cmd-period, or by clicking on the preferences button in the Typeset & View menu.
This will allow you to configure the bundle the way you want it again.

I didn't realize each individual bundle had preferences (And so misunderstood Niels Kobschätzki's answer).
I went to Bundles->LaTeX->Preferences, checked "Use Latexmk.pl", and selected View in "Skim". Textmate now does what I want it to.
Thanks.

not each individual bundle but some (actually…i only know that from the LaTeX and the blogging-bundle)
