The code says to do this when there are 20 or more such files, which should happen only if delete_files_only_with_same_name is set to false. So, I've left in my newest version, which also includes more error handling for some conditions, and activates TeXShop after opening TextEdit so that the dialog box isn't hidden by another window. Also, just in case someone sets delete_files_only_with_same_name to false, I've deleted "pdf" from the extensions_to_delete list, as that could result in deletion of some of your graphic inclusions. It may make sense to split this into two separate macros, one for "same name" and one for "all in same folder".

Howdy,

TeXShop LaTeX Macros are stored together in a single plist format file that also contains the Macro names and assigned keyboard shortcuts, Macros_Latex.plist, in ~/Library/TeXShop/Macros. Those macros can simply be text substitutions or Applescript files. It is then natural, when exporting/importing a macro from TeXShop for it to also be sent as a plist in the same internal format.

Good Luck,
