[TxMt] Re: Shell escape with Latex watch

[enas]

OK, so I checked a bit the code of latex_watch.pl.

The function get_prefs returns indeed the options in the latex  
preferences (it returns the engine, the options and the viewer), but  
then the options fields is completely discarded (only the engine and  
the viewer are taken into account).

So my question can be reformulated, I guess, to: is it possible to  
adapt the script so that it takes into account the options given in  
the latex preferences, and passes them to the engine?

Thanks,

enas
