A new version of Latex Watch is available, which fixes a number of
bugs. It's available here:

Latex Watch takes a lot of the hassle out of using Latex, by quickly
updating the document preview whenever you save a change to your
source file. It saves you having to manually recompile all the time,
and it's also quite a bit faster too. See the included help file for
more details.
Changes since 2.4:
- Delete .watcher_pid file on exit. (I think this was broken by 2.3.)
- Fix bug introduced in 2.4 that broke TeXShop updating.
- Use a sanitised name for the .foo.* files, because format names containing
spaces don't seem to work (so we would fail for filenames with spaces in).
- Change into the working directory, rather than using the full path, to
avoid problems caused by special characters in the name of some ancestor
directory.
- Quote Applescript strings, so that filenames containing special characters
(backslash and double quote) will not cause Applescript errors. (They do
still cause problems with PDFSync in Skim: see
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=941981&aid=1753415&group_id=192583)
- Catch the obscure case where the filename ends in ".tex\n", which
would previously cause mysterious-looking problems.
- Remove the 'hide extension' attribute on the .tex file, if TeXShop is
used as the viewer, otherwise updating will fail for interesting reasons
that I won't go into here.
