[OS X TeX] Using latexmk with TeXShop

[Don Green Dragon]

Hi,

This is really addressed to Herb Schulz and concerns the download .zip file
	Latexmk427aTeXShop.zip		(639 KB, created 12Oct2011 2:34 PM)
which when unzipped becomes the directory:
	Latexmk427aTeXShop

That directory contains the PDF file <Latexmk For TeXShop.pdf> which I've been reading and, as the following will reveal, am a bit confused.

I currently have TeXShop, version 2.43, and did install the MacTeX-2011 package about five days ago. I'm still with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. As above, I will use < and > to delimit the names of long file and directory names.

In the PDf you state (page 1)

 	Move the tslatexmkrc folder found in the supplied ‘For /Library/TeXShop/bin/’ folder 
	to the corresponding folder on your computer replacing the one already there.

But in <For /Library/TeXShop/bin/> the only folder is <tslatexmk> as shown by

doncarvel:~/downloads/Latexmk427aTeXShop$ ls -l "For ~:Library:TeXShop:bin:"
total 0
drwxr-xr-x@ 15 doncarvel  staff  510 12 Oct 16:32 tslatexmk

I don't understand why the bash shell required that I use ':' instead of '/' but when I used '/' it claimed the directory <For /Library/TeXShop/bin/> did not exist!?!?!?

However, if one looks in 

	<~/downloads/Latexmk427aTeXShop/For /Library/TeXShop/bin/tslatexmk/> 

then there is a FILE <tslatexmkrc> of size 4 KB created on 26Feb2010 2:22 PM and a Unix executable file 
<latexmk> of 287 KB created on 10Oct2011 5:47 PM.

My current content in <~/Library/TeXShop/bin/> is displayed in

doncarvel:~$ ls -l ~/Library/TeXShop/bin/

So I'm not sure what should be done! Thanks for all the work you've been doing to improve TeXShop. For me it works beautifully.  :--)
