[TxMt] Question to LaTeX bundle users

[Charilaos Skiadas]

Hey all, sorry for the mass email. If you are not using the LaTeX  
bundle, you can safely ignore the rest.

I am currently working on the various completion commands in the  
latex bundle, and I am considering dropping bibdesk support in the  
completion commands in the following way: Instead of asking bibdesk  
for the completion list, I have a command read that does the following:
	 It collects a list of bib files from the following locations:
1. the files pointed to by the environment (or project specific)  
variable TM_LATEX_BIB, space separated (use quotes if the filename  
contains spaces).
2. If either the file pointed to by the variable TM_LATEX_MASTER, or  
the current document (if saved), or both, contain any text of the  
form \bibliography{bibfile}, it adds this bibfile to the list of bib  
files to examine.

	It scans all these bib files for the cite keys, and uses those for  
completion. It will look for titles for the pop-up menu. So there  
will be (actually there already are) two commands, one that works  
with Esc (normal completion) and one that brings up a pop-up of  
possible completions.

The above will be faster than calling Bibdesk through applescript.   
And you can of course still create citations by dragging them items  
from Bibdesk and dropping them in textmate.
The main question is whether calling Bibdesk has any advantages  
compared to the approach I outlined above, and whether the approach  
above misses something. Your feedback would be much appreciated.
