[OS X TeX] latexdb & texshop

[Claus Gerhardt]

The additional files created by latexdb are not the cause of the  
trouble with saving the original, but as Ingo has already hinted  
latexdb must change the name of original to .backup.

The only remedy I can think of, except of course rewriting latexdb,  
is the following Applescript

Claus


--Applescript

tell application "TeXShop"
         get path of document of window 1
         set fileName to result
     end tell
     set scriptPath to (do shell script "dirname " & "~/Library/ 
TeXShop/Scripts/ex")
     set scriptPath to scriptPath & "/setnamets.scpt"
     set scriptName to POSIX file scriptPath as alias
     set scriptLiB to (load script scriptName)
     tell scriptLiB
         set {baseName, texName, pdfName, namePath, dirName,  
dirNameunquoted, logName, logPath, rtfName} to setnamets(fileName)
     end tell

set theFile to POSIX file fileName as string
tell application "TeXShop"
     close document texName
end tell

set shellScript to "cd " & dirName & ";"
set shellScript to shellScript & "~/Library/TeXShop/bin/latexdbi  " &  
texName
do shell script shellScript

set shellScript to "cd " & dirName & ";"
set shellScript to shellScript & "~/Library/TeXShop/bin/dvipdfc  " &  
baseName
do shell script shellScript
(*
set pdfName to quotedform of pdfName

set thePDF to POSIX file pdfName as alias
*)
tell application "TeXShop"
     open theFile
end tell

tell document texName of application "TeXShop"
             activate
             refreshpdf
         end tell
