[OS X TeX] Preview.app adds auto refresh function (partial) in 10.5.3?

[Ari Stern]

This feature was there when Leopard was released, so it's not specific
to 10.5.3.  However, it was a new addition compared to the previous
Tiger version.  It would still be nice if there were some way to get
it to auto-refresh *without* switching focus, the way TeXShop and Skim
do.

Cheers,
Ari
