It's even cooler than that. One merely needs to have the cursor
hover over a word and hit Ctl-Cmd-d to get the dictionary. No
selection necessary!

Howdy,
Just tried it and it really works! So neat. Now if they'd fix up some
of the bugs that cause some things to hang for way too long I'd start
to get really happy.
Good Luck,

I had similar problems with associating all .tex files with
StuffitExpander. Removal of SE and cleaning caches worked. I put SE
back and everything is ok. May be deep cache cleaning would suffice
for you. I used AppleJack.

One feature I would be happy to have to is "Typeset Selection". I
used to use it in Alpha (typesetting selected text with the preamble
of the whole document). It is extremely useful when one is making
local changes in a long document and wants to check whether the
changes are typed in correctly (equations in my case).

A minor issue: in the preview window, when the cursor is positioned
in either the Scale field or the Page field (in the toolbar), the
keyboard navigation (i.e. the arrows and Cmd-arrows) aren't effective
and you need to click on the content of the window (outside the
toolbar) first.

In TeXShop preferences you have in the right most department,
Typesetting, the choice to set it to LaTeX or another engine -- but I
think it would change TeXShop's behaviour, not parsing the native TeX
header of a TeX file ...

Yes, that's a nice feature in Mac OS X 10.4 and works from other
applications too -- I wonder whether they have the same also for
German!

Could be this is a good way to set up:
=95 create a group cvs(_all) that has all CVS users
=95 the CVS root directory is owned by cvs(_all):cvs
=95 for every CVS project you create a new cvs_group, users can be in=20
more than one group
=95 every project's root directory is located in the CVS root directory=20=
but owned by specific cvs_group:cvs
=95 make every CVS data directory be 3775 (drwxrwsr-t 101 Admin admin =20=
3434 2 Jun 15:47 /Users/Shared/Dokumentation) and every=20
non-administrative file 664
Besides you can give the cvs user account, i.e. the owner of all CVS=20
stuff, an environment variable variable CVSUMASK that sets permissions=20=
for newly created directories or files.

Some additional feature requests (I think I emailed them a while =20
ago), but still:
- Is there a reason why TexShop Preview displays search results =20
differently than Preview does (or am I doing something wrong here?). =20
Preview shows the text which surrounds the phrase you search for, but =20=
TeXShop displays the section it is in. This is not very useful if =20
your search term appears several times in one section.
- And how about implementing =E2=8C=98F shortcut which automatically =
jumps =20
to search field? Currently =E2=8C=98F brings up the TeXShop editor =
search =20
field which is useless when you look at the PDF, searching with it =20
does nothing. So it would be nice if =E2=8C=98F was contextual.
- And of course, I'd love .Mac support. Share your settings, =20
shortcuts, scripts etc. among several computers.
Thanks for your great work.

Howdy,
Hmm.. Why not just .zip up your ~/LibraryTeXShop/ directory, put it
up on your .MAC account and then you can download it from anywhere.
Not automatic but it should work fine.

Subject: UTI for Textures documents
From: "Bruno Voisin"
Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2005 20:29:12 +0200
In Tiger, Textures documents whose name does not contain the
extension .tex are no longer recognized as belonging to Textures;
instead, they are considered as TexEdit documents. I've just been
faced with this when trying to open an old Textures document. I can
of course add the extension .tex to its name, but only if there's no
other solution.
So far, a Textures document was recognized as such based on its
Creator/Type strings, namely *TEX/TEXT. Apparently, in Tiger this is
no longer true. I imagine this is due to the new UTI mechanism in Tiger.
The Blue Sky TeX Systems site has been updated following the release
of Tiger, and two problems are mentioned: one, at , regarding interaction with
SpotLight, and the other, at , which is precisely the above problem. It is said there is
no solution at present.
Hence this mail: does any programmer here know of some command-line
instruction for example, that could be used to tell Tiger that files
with a *TEX Creator string do belong to Textures? Or can this be
achieved by editing some .plist file somewhere (regarding Launch
Services maybe?), to give files with this resource the appropriate
UTI? Or does it necessarily require a change in the Textures
application itself, such that this application declares the
appropriate UTIs?
I tried a very naive thing: rebuild the Classic Desktop. But of
course that didn't solve the problem.

I find this so-called "design" inexplicable, but the answer to your
question appears to be "no".

Howdy,
It appears that a Cmd-F search in Finder allows you to select all
files with a given Creator code. You might try to gather together all
the files with *TEX Creator and then change them en-mass to open with
TeXtures. Just grabbing at straws here.
Good Luck,
