[OS X TeX] viewing and comparing files

Thanks for the suggestion, Dick.  I hadn’t even realized that the demo was a movie (maybe I hadn’t even known there was a demo).  But I just watched it and

Folks,

Speaking of fixing the sizes of TeXShop windows:

TeXShop Help comes with two movies, called Demos in
the Help Menu. The movies are downloaded
from my web site when first used. I wish everyone
would view the second movie, since it explains how I
expect users to set the sizes and positions of windows
initially.

Thanks to Elliott Roper for reminding me and others of the
Split View feature introduced in El Capitan. It is one
of many features I had forgotten, but a

This would make sense, except that I see no option in TeXShop preferences for adjusting window size, as opposed to magnification or window position, for either source or preview.  I am running TeXShop 3.62 on El Capitain.

This is specifically a TeXShop question.  Using the editor that comes with TeXShop, is it possible to use a split screen with the two windows showing two different files?  Alternatively, is there a way to make the preview window not be full screen?  I have in mind two somewhat related scenarios.  One is comparing two pdf’s side by side, the other comparing a pdf with its source file, side by side. Specifically, I am trying to view a solution manual written for an earlier version of a book with the “printed” (that is, pdf) current version of the book itself.  As my default settings are, a preview window takes up the whole screen, so I can’t view the two “printed” versions side by side.  I *can* view a preview with related source file, because source file pages are in windows fitted to a smaller size.  But of course the thing I am asking about (or for?) would allow such side-by-side viewing.

Howdy,

The window sizes should be adjustable. You can also save the Source and Preview window size (assuming you are not using Single Window Mode) by adjusting them to be the way you want.Then set the default Source position and size in TeXShop->Preferences->Source->Source Window Position by setting for `All windows start at fixed position' and then pressing `Set with current position'. Do the similar thing for the Preview window in TeXShop->Preferences->Preview.

Hope that's what you want.

Good Luck,

Howdy,

Grab the edge or corner of a window (the mouse pointer will change into a double headed arrow) and drag. If you grab the edge it will only change in that direction, grabbing a corner will allow for arbitrary changes.

Good Luck,
