Hi,
I use the same diagrams in several of my documents, and I haven't been
able to figure out if teTeX/TeXShop allows one to have a shared
"TeX-inputs" folder (like Textures for Mac OS 9 does) which every
document looks in while typesetting.
Is this possible, and if so, where is this folder? I'm a bit sunk
without this, since otherwise I'd need dozens of copies of the same
files everywhere, and this is gratuitously messy.
thanks,
neal

Yes it assumes that you have all that stuff in a folder called
texmf in
~/Library/texmf/
you have to have some subfolders that look like the structure
of the standard texmf folder tetex has created.
As the TeXShop.rtf says ..
>The files must be in appropriate directories. teTeX uses a directory
>structure invented by the tex working group. Suppose you want to add

>
>So inside your home directory's Library folder, make a series of
>subdirectories as follows:
>
> Library --> texmf --> tex --> latex --> misc
>
>and store "new.sty" inside this misc directory.

After setting up such a set of directories and files go into Terminal and
type `sudo texhash' . You need to do this before
TeXShop can find the files.

Everyting in that reply was correct, except

a) it is not TeXShop that must find the files, it is TeX.
b) current distributions of teTeX do not use the hashing mechanism for
~/Library/texmf
There is no need, therefore, to go into Terminal.

PS. There is no need to make a very complicated deep structure. If you
just have some files you want to share, a directory like
~/Library/texmf/tex
would do just fine for TeX inputs. The only thing you absolutely *need*
is the correct first level below texmf/

Re: Retry: [Mac OS X TeX] Hack release: TEX ->
PDF Ser
You only have to klick the apple once to get the shortcuts
working.
(Yes, seems to be an OS X bug )-:
--Jan--
...
It seems that if you use it the first
tiem in an app the cmd shortcut Cmd-\ does not work, but the menu
works. After the first time, the Cmd-\ shortcut works
This is a problem that exists with other
services as well. For example the keyboard shortcut for WordLookup has
to be activated by selecting the service from the menu once. After
that the shortcut works ... seems to be another bug in OS
X.
