[TxMt] TM 2 alpha, LaTeX, latexmk and biblatex

[Gildas Hamel]

I've been trying TM2-alpha while continuing to work (mostly XeLaTeX-ing) with TM1. I have encountered two TM2/LaTeX issues relating to biblatex and latexmk which I've been using without problem with TM 1.x for at least a year now.

1. in my preferences/Variables, I set PATH as in TM1 and set BIBINPUTS (to) /Users/myname/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib where I keep my bib files. But when I try to complete a citation with Citation (Ref-TeX Style) by using ^{ , the completion doesn't occur in TM2, while it does in TM1.  I tried to put BIBINPUTS = "/Users/gweltaz/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib" and that didn't help either. Is some other language needed?

2. this is regarding the LaTeX bundle: I loaded the latest latexmk.pl (Dec 2011) and slightly edited texMate.py in LaTeX.tmbundle/Support/bin bibtex to biber in a few places. This works fine with TM1, i.e., the biber engine is found, and latexmk does its thing, but nothing happens in TM2/LaTeX.tmbundle.  Suggestions? [note: I normally use TM1 + TeXShop for automatic typesetting via (xe)latexmk, will gladly continue, but wonder how this can be accomplished in TM without having to set up and use TeXShop]

With much appreciation for TM1 + TM2.
