They are all for the same .tex document (titled "irrationalNumbers"), which is a relatively plain-vanilla beamer class document. In this example, the files listed below appear in the same folder along with all the aux files, the .tex file, and the output .pdf file. irrationalNumbers.synctex (from Rauls-macbook-pro - 3).gz irrationalNumbers.synctex (from Rauls-macbook-pro).gz irrationalNumbers.synctex.gz This example lists two extra synctex files each with the tag "(from Rauls-macbook-pro)"; the latter is the name of my MacBook Pro as you might guess. The files names are exactly as they appear on the list of aux files. [I mention this to avoid people thinking that I added the parenthetical identifier "(from ...)" for the purpose of this discussion.] Although I show only two "extra" files here, I've had as many as six. They appear to be inoffensive: deleting them has no effect on typesetting or editing with TS 3.18. I'm puzzled by the fact that these files appear at all because that had not been the case previously.

I tried everything that I read in the postings for the 3.14 problem with no luck. 1. Cleaning caches, rebooting, opening TeXSHop, saving a new file. Even the new file is just a plain white rectangle (corner folded). 2. Rebuilding the launch services database, rebooting, etc. 3. Use CMD i to getinfo select TeXShop to open the file then Change All, but nothing changes in the icon 4. I can paste the icon in the getinfo window and then it changes that file, but does not change any of the other .tex files 5. Deleted all TeXShop.app files from my MacBookPro OS X 10.8.4 and downloaded a new 3.18 from the web. No change. 5. Rebuilt the launch services database and reverted to default file associations. The .tex files for which I changed the icons (by pasting icons in the getinfo window) now are associated with TextWrangler and those that I have not are TeX source files but have the icon of an executable file for the terminal. This is driving me nuts. Hope there is something else I can try. I can't paste the icon in 100,000 .tex files that are all over my hard drive with 2,000,000 other files. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you have.

I do not want a situation where the wiki becomes unreliable (if it hasn't already) or blocks enthusiasm for another site or group of sites which may fill its role (yes, there are other wikis out there). We do not yet have a system admin, nor anyone willing to take leadership in the editorial role… a role which I feel the guilt of having short changed for years now. Please copy/move sections that may be of interest to you from the wiki before it is respectfully shutdown in a controlled fashion, versus what would be a continuation of its slow demise into unreliability. I will hopefully be able to completely archive the system to give to volunteers who may come forward after the shutdown, and be asking River Valley to replace the wiki with a shutdown notification page. Thank you very much for your support and authorship during the growth and prosperity of the wiki. It has truly been a pleasure and an honor to serve the TeX community.

I know that luaotfload by default looks into the system's font directories. What I'm trying to do is adding FontExplorer's directory to the seatch paths. I know that there is the environment variable $OSFONTDIR, but I don't get where I can set it and how I can access it. I tried 'export OSFONTDIR=~/FontExplorer\ X:$OSFONTDIR' in the terminal. I also added 'OSFONTDIR = /Library/Fonts//;/System/Library/Fonts;$HOME/Library/Fonts; ~/FontExplorer\ X' to /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf.cnf When testing this with 'echo $OSFONTDIR' or 'kpsewhich --var-value=OSFONTDIR' I get the correct output. I then run 'luaotfload-tool --update'. When I then try to compile a short test document with TeXShop, lualatex complains that it can't find the selected font (which is in ~/FontExplorer\ X) or simply goes into an endless search. So where am I supposed to tell lualatex once and for all where it has to look?

In an OSX text editor (Textedit for instance) when you start writing a word and hit the esc key the uppermost words in the list proposed for autocompletion are the ones most recently typed. In TeXshop the same operation yields and alphabetical list, something quite useless. So, here is my question: is there a way to force TeXshop to use the OSX autocompletion i.e. to remember the recently typed words and propose them first when the esc key is hit?

The default button gave me what is expected in three of the windows, in the fourth is simpdftex latex --maxpfb --extratexopts "-file-line-error -synctex=1" Synching works fine on a file I am currently using, but when I went back to a larger, older project (ongoing) for which I have the pdf file and the "master" source file opened, but the individual source files for sections are not, I got no reaction (I expected to get a locked source file--I haven't learned how to turn off the automatic locking--but at least I would know whit the relevant source file for that section is called). In the past I have not had a problem with accessing these source files via synching from the pdf even if they are not currently opened. I currently have TexLive 2011 (I planned to get 2012, but realized that 2013 will be available after the weekend, so decided to wait). I am running OS 10.7.5. Any idea what I should do?

Since a recent TS upgrade (now using 3.18), I observe buggy behavior whenever I externally modify a .tex file whose source is open in TS (e.g., I switch to a different branch in my Git repository, with a different version of the .tex file, or I decide to discard a hunk of modified lines in the .tex file). When I do this, I observe one of two apparently random symptoms, the second more disruptive than the first: 1) The source editor in TS switches to a variable-width, sans-serif font. I've configured it to use Monaco 12 (on a non-retina machine) or Menlo 12 (on a retina MBP). 2) The .tex source editor, console, and preview window simply close. Note that TS is still running in this case. Closing the .tex file and opening it again restores the expected behavior. I should mention that I've disabled Auto-Save, Versions and its ilk in OSX by setting defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no Before the TS upgrade, I would simply hit CMD-U to revert the .tex file in the source editor after any external changes to the file, and get on with my work, but now I have to reopen it every time and navigate back to the line I was working on. Extremely annoying. Does anyone have an idea what triggers these bugs, and how I can work around them?

A couple of years ago, if I installed (by a separate installer) ptex, and chose the pTeX setting from the popup defaults menu in TeXShop, I could type set in Japanese. In reviewing what has to be done for MacTeX 2012, I discovered that a Japanese typesetting engine is included in the distribution. The Setup Popup menu that appears in the (latest and presumably earlier) version of TeXShop is antiquated and enters incorrect values for the required settings. The settings need to be changed in the Typesetting:Default Script section from "Pdftex" to "Tex + DVI" and the settings in Engine:TeX + dvips + distiller:LateX need to be changed from simpdftex latex --maxpfb --extratexopts "-file-line-error -synctex=1" to simpdftex platex --mode dvipdfmx --maxpfb --extratexopts "-file-line-error" and I can typeset in Japanese. I wasted an hour or so figuring this out and I wanted to post this here so someone in the future can use Google Fu to find the correct answer. I also wanted to see if it would be possible to change the values changed by the Default Popup setting to correctly enable Japanese (utf-8 files are fine). Is such a thing possible?
