Almost perfect

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I've been using TeXShop from the beginning -having switched from Textures when OS X debuted and Textures wasn't ported. Since then, I have on occasion recommended additions (a very, very spoiled user's wish-list), and the only feature not yet implemented is Textures' "synchronicity". (By clicking in the preview window, you are transferred into the source window, at about the place where the code produced the object on which you clicked, and vice versa.)

AND IT IS FREE!!!

As for the 1.35b issue, R. Koch's attitude and dilligence is most commendable: "After a release, I try to fix bugs as they crop up, changing the number. After a couple of weeks, there will be a 1.36." (taken from his e-mail to "quack27", posted in this forum). Of course, we'd all wish for a bug-free program, but the only absolutely correct computer-science theorem is that there is no bug-free code. And Mr. Koch certainly does marvels to keep TeXShop as close to an ideal as possible.

Kudos, commendations and acclaim!

Almost perfect - thubsch

To clarify: there IS a "pdfsync"-ing feature, however, it:
- requires modifying the source code (I hope it is simply ignored by other TeX implementations, accross platforms, and earlier TeXShop versions... we do collaborate), and
- functions with pdf(la)tex, not with the TeX+GhostScript version.
I fully understand that making a "synchronicity"-like feature work in all circumstances is a daunting wish - but, hey! TeXShop already has a fantastic slew of wonderfully amazing features!
