Haha, I don't know about that! I guess I'll keep an ear out for 
development oppourtunities there though I suppose, could be 
intereseting.

I'm surprised TeX hasn't been taught, or at least mentioned, in any Uni 
subjects of mine yet. While I think it would benefit a lot of people, I 
almost want to keep it to myself now, just to give me that edge in 
assignments! I can't believe how many peers try to typeset their 
technical documents in Word, complain bitterly, get frustrated, and 
continue to use Word!

Perhaps I was quick to adopt TeX because I've done a lot of programming 
(mostly outside uni) and do alright at raw HTML (the closest 'markup' 
language I can think of to TeX) as well. But the main contributor to 
learning I think, was the vast array of online tutorials and references 
that available.

Yeah, that's what I figured. The process was reasonably efficient, 
considering I wanted to look at all the pictures first anyway.

Well, they did have a fair bit of detail, and since I put them on pages 
by themselves, it looked alright.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Thanks for the responses everyone, very helpful indeed. I hope one day 
to be in the position to _give_ such advice!

I originally reported that TeXShop 1.21 seemed to be working normally=20
with color syntaxing on. I did a quick test last night before I went to=20=

bed. I could swear that I set the cursor in the middle of a document=20
and tried typing and it was quick. Not today when I retried it, and as=20=

reported by everyone else.

I turned on the CPU Monitor (found in Applications/Utilities), and=20
discovered that just typing about eight letters pinned the processor=20
for about ten seconds. In other words, the processor was working at=20
100% capacity for many seconds just to process a few letters. There=20
must be an unintended loop somewhere in in the code. Could it be that=20
it's looping through the entire text everytime we type a letter?

Use the Terminal to issue a 'top' command and see if there is something

You do not mention whether you did a texhash or not. Give that a try as

First off let me thank you for your efforts to date on TeXShop.  I just 
wanted to ask if it would be possible to include some type of grep 
replace in TeXShop as LaTeX being text lends itself very well to be 
search replaced by grep patterns.  Right now, I find myself using an 
external editor to do such changes (a nice feature of having a text 
based typesetting language), but would prefer being able to do the 
changes within TeXshop.

						Thanks again,

I must be missing something obvious: I've tried to set BBEdit as my 
external editor, but it doesn't work. I looked through the TeXShop help 
file, but the section on external editors was unenlightening. The above 
sequence of commands  accomplishes nothing on my machine. I'm running 
OS X 10.2.1, TeXShop 1.20, and BBEdit 6.5.3 on a Pismo (PB G3 FW).

Open preferences in TeXShop. On the "document" tab in the prefs dialog,
check the option marked "Configure for external editor."  Quit TeXShop.  

Now when you drag a .tex file onto TeXShop, it will not open that file to
be edited, but will assume you are editing the file it in an external
editor and want only to typeset it using TeXShop.  

In other words, you can open the .tex file in BBEdit (or another editor,
vi, emacs, whatever) and make and save changes to the file from there. 
TeXShop will just happily process the file without trying to open the
file in its own editing window.

Subject: TeXShop 1.22
From: "Richard Koch" 
Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2002 12:00:29 -0800

Folks,

TeXShop 1.22 is available at

	http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop

The new version contains a faster syntax coloring routine.

TeXShop has two coloring routines. The first is only used when documents
are opened. The second is used during typing. Previous improvements
for Jaguar modified only the first routine. If you ran into speed 
problems
during typing, these earlier revisions would not help. This version 
modifies
the second routine.

A link on my web page gives further details about syntax coloring:
an explanation of the problem and a description of the fix.
A crucial idea for this fix was provided by Martin Heusse. Thanks!

This happened to me too. Logging out and then back in again fixed the

Hi.

For the first time ever I experience TeXShop crashes!

I want to typset a document, for which one graphic file is missing. So, 
when the error message appears in the console, I just hit return (as I 
have always done), which will make TeXShop "quit unexpectedly". This is 
reproducible. I would like to be more specific, but I have no idea how 
to find out what is the reason. There is no message in the (MacOS X) 
console or something like that.

Any hints? Any proposals what I could do to trace the problem?

... and as a follow-up: the same document, which previously was 
displayed just fine, now shows the "empty pages" problem when you add 
the missing figure. All pages in the PDF are empty in TeXShop, but they 
display fine in Acrobat. I seem to remember that this has been 
discussed on the list earlier. Could somebody point me to the cause of 
the problem, and possibly a fix?

Thanks.

Have you tried tex + ghostscript ? It works OK for me.

I also et nothing in Console and no Crash Log although Crash Reporting

Folks,

I revised the web page so TeXShop is temporarily unavailable.
But I don't really understand what is happening.

I usually include graphics without a file extension, letting pdflatex
find the appropriate file. Pdflatex will then stop with an error 
message,
but if you push return, it continues and you can typeset everything 
else.
This still works; TeXShop works fine if you don't use graphic file
extensions, etc.

So I tried experiments from the command line to avoid interaction
with TeXShop. It turns out that pdflatex works as I've described above.
However, if the file extension is included and the file is missing, then
pdflatex stops with a fatal error. Since I don't use pdflatex that way,
I don't know if this is new behavior, or has always happened. Do
any of you know?

If pdflatex stops with a fatal error, and if you
then push return in the Terminal window, TeXShop crashes.  Certainly
TeXShop shouldn't crash in this situation, and I'll fix that. It may be 
that
I haven't seen this problem because before this, the typesetting 
programs
haven't stopped with a fatal error.

As for the blank pdf window, I don't see that here. One bug at a time,
please!!

This is pretty standard behaviour for pdftex (pdflatex).
Don't know why --- it's certainly not desirable.

It also happens when there is a graphic of the right name,
but pdfTeX cannot unravel the internal data format.
e.g.
colored JPEGs from Photoshop kill it, though Grayscale ones are OK.
For the coloured JPEGs, resaving with GraphicConverter makes them OK.

Usually bugs come in swarms, attracted to bright lights.

All the best,

Well, all I can say is that I did typeset documents with some missing 
graphics files with previous versions of TeXShop/LaTeX without any 
problems, as far as I remember. And I have definitely always included 
file extensions. I hope that answers your question at least in part. Of 
course I have no clue, whether the "new" behaviour is new in pdflatex 
or in TeXShop. I have not tested TeXShop 1.19-21 today. The version of 
TeX I am running is the last version before the introduction of 
Gerben's new installer system (I wanted to wait for a final version 
before I switch).

This just happens with this document. Others display as they should. 
Also, this one displays o.k., if you open it separately in TeXShop. But 
when you typset the document again, a new pdf window is opened, with 
all pages being empty. As I said: I seem to recall some discussion 
about this problem on this list. Are the list archives searchable? The 
google search does not seem to work for me ...

Michael: I think I cannot use TeX+Ghostscript, because all my graphics 
are PDF files. Or can I use it nevertheless?
