[TxMt] Re: LaTeX and Skim

[Erich Neuwirth]

The problem is solved.
I updated the bundle in
Library/Application Support/TextMate/...
AND changed the one line in texMate.py in that location.
Then things worked
I also had a LaTeX bundle in
/Application/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles
and that is the one I had edited originally.
Now I understand why this did not help.
