Thanks Robin,  I've got an extremely busy January so I don't have much  
time to think about the Latex bundle except maybe weekends.  The patch  
works fine for me and looking at all the changes they seem OK.  I'm  
going to roll back in a different patch that I got for Texniscope that  
I had not got around to committing before Haris applied yours.

Haris,  I cannot reproduce the beeping, but I am on 10.5.1 and I'm  
assuming that you are still on 10.4.x since you have the error with  
the preferences.  Can you check in the Latex bundle Support/bin/ 
newplistlib.py   and make sure you are using at least r8620.  Allan  
put in a fix that should avoid a strange bug with dates in the distant  
past or distant future.  If you are using Leopard then the bundle uses  
the binary plist reader that ships with Leopards version of Python.

Yesterday sometime you asked about why the Latex bundle writes  
preferences to the com.macromates.textmate plist file.  The answer is  
because thats how the example that Allan posted did it.  That is also  
how the SQL bundle and others do it.  Personally I don't know enough  
Objective C and/or interface builder foo to do it any other way.   I  
could definitely see some advantage in using a separate plist file for  
the bundle though since then our reading/parsing would not be affected  
by any other preferences.

Again this works for me.    But it also worked for me without Robin's  
patch to tell Skim to activate!  I hate applescript.
